This used to mean you likely received a magazine once or twice a month.

Renee dropped the PhD grind she had become so used to and shook life up!

Subscribers read the book, then discuss it in a secret Facebook group each month. They also meet on video chat, and more recently they’ve even met in person!. On top of all that, they donate 5% of their revenue back to a feminist organization of their choice.   Jamie and Renee dive in and discuss the journey Renee went on to get where she is today. Some of the questions Jamie asks are:> How did you navigate your thoughts and feelings when you realized it was time to take the leap?> When and how did you make the decision to take your personal passion and turn it into a business?> How do you deal with conflict of opinions in your subscription business?> How do you handle situations that make you feel not so fearless?   And of course, the all-time classic question we have for our Fearless Founders:   > What is the one piece of advice that you would give your younger self?   Please join us in the HQ and let us know… What Fearless Founders do you want to hear from?

Nude Barre is a fashion company offering eco-friendly intimates made in 12 shades of nude to match every skin tone.    Erin has seen it all! She worked as a performer and constantly ran into the struggle many performers see every day. There was a requirement to wear nude tights and undergarments, but no shades to match her skin tone.    Erin saw the problem, and instead of continuing to struggle, she decided to do something about it!    It was a 2 year journey that involved long hours, learning lessons, and a whole lot of navigating the entrepreneurial world, but here she is today with her garments popping up all over the place! She gained her following organically by reaching out to celebrities like Wendy Williams and sending her samples out for people to try.    She recently went from bootstrapping all of her funding, to applying for and winning a pitch competition to get funded by Serena Williams and Bumble!     Are you enjoying the FearLess Founder episodes?

Plus, you’re in for a special treat because Producer Don appears as a special guest to interview Jamie and Mary. Our conversation today showcases two sides of the speaking engagements journey. Jamie shares her experience speaking in front of large audiences on behalf of her law firm, Hashtag Legal, including her most recent engagement at the WIT Summit.

What factors must you think about before you decide on something to talk about - while also avoiding speaker fatigue (same topic, different day)? This usually goes hand and hand with the reasoning behind why you want to speak. Ask yourself - what is the goal of it all?

This months theme is Visibility! We know. Everyone hates talking about themselves (except Jamie, she loves it). But visibility is one of the most important aspects of your business - otherwise how will people know you exist? Without a strong visible presence - how will your audience choose YOU?

#sorrynotsorry, we couldn't resist.



About 99% of the time, you’re going to have to work hard for that visibility. The chances that your business or product is going to go to viral is about as unlikely as an Olivia Newton John comeback. We kid, we love her!



Have no fear, this is why we bring you all of the amazing experts! This week Jamie is interviewing the fabulous, Amanda Berlin, who after years of experience as a corporate publicist strategist is now using her pitch powers for good.

]]> 2165 no 68: How To Plan For And Gracefully End A Partnership (And Why Data Is Sexy) https://fearlessbusinesspodcast.com/2019/03/04/how-to-break-up-with-a-partner/ Being that February’s theme here at FearLess is CHANGE, what better way to dive deep into the idea than to discuss one of the biggest changes that can occur in a business - breaking up with your business partner. A lot has happened for Jamie in the last month and in this episode, she’s sharing her story about the time - not so long ago - when she and her business partner, Danielle, sat down and came to a mutual agreement to end their partnership.   Jamie talks about the process, how planning at the beginning of the partnership made a huge difference in the end and how respect and communication were the keys to an amicable split. We can't forget the feelings! With such a big change, came a mix of emotions: fear, overwhelm, and excitement (a la Jessie Spano). via GIPHY Never fear, though, Mary helped Jamie through the process and managed to convince her data is sexy? It is! We swear! Mary discusses how tracking the proper data in any business will help you get a better understanding of what’s really going on. As a service-based business owner and being heavily referral based, Jamie was able to see what made the most sense to her and how the data shared was helping her. The numbers show you the proof you need - all thanks to a spreadsheet and data analysis from Mary! After discussing the data, it made Jamie feel she had control over a process that felt out of control at times. As you listen, you’ll realize that all this wonderful talk about data could really be another episode down the line - so stay tuned!

Now that we've wrapped up our Unlock the Mystery series, which pulled back the curtain on how bloggers and influencers make their money, we're kicking off a new set of themed episodes! Candid Conversations continues to be a behind the scenes look at online businesses, but this series will dive into the questions we most frequently see asked (or those we are asked ourselves) when it comes to influencer marketing. Inspired by a session Jamie recently attended at the Social Fresh social marketing conference, this week we're covering keeping your content creative. Producing content that's fresh and engaging on a regular basis is challenging. Factor in that you want what you're producing to be sustainable and authentic— to be interesting to you personally, reflecting your mission and values without becoming repetitive— while also meeting your audience's particular needs, and it's easy to see how influencers and brands alike can struggle to find new angles and avoid burnout. In this episode, we talk about some of the questions raised at that Social Fresh session, as well as our own struggles creating content for our podcast and tips we've picked up along the way. Listen in as we discuss: * being intentional and strategic with your content * getting ahead of your calendar by having a content plan in place * staying creative without a large budget * the importance of taking risks * taking advantage of breaks * incorporating humor and more, including a little confession from Danielle.

]]> 2125 63: Unlock the Mystery: Maximizing Ad Revenue with Amber Bracegirdle https://fearlessbusinesspodcast.com/2018/11/28/episode63/ Think display ads are a waste of time and website real estate? Think again. For many bloggers, running ads was a first, failed attempt at monetization. Frustrated with a lack of control over what ads were served to their readers, an impossibly slow load time, and/or an unexpectedly low payout, they eventually chalked the experience up as a lesson learned, removing the ads and never looking back. But like everything else on the digital landscape, advertising has changed and evolved. Running display ads can most definitely generate real revenue, providing a lucrative and relatively passive income stream. The key is optimizing your site for your advertising— and your advertising for your audience. There is always a loss in user experience to add advertising to your site. That doesn't mean don't do it. It just means that the return on that advertising needs to be worth it. Amber Bracegirdle This week on the Businessese Influencer Marketing Podcast, Amber Bracegirdle unlocks the mystery behind best practices for maximizing ad revenue. Amber is a co-founder at Mediavine, a full service ad management company working with 4000 bloggers across the entire lifestyle spectrum, as well as the managing editor of FoodFanatic.com and co-host of the Theory of Content podcast. Amber is all about SEO and making the business of blogging better, and she shares all the good stuff in this episode! Listen in as she goes over: * why placing ads on your site can be a gamechanger * how Mediavine's ad system differs from others, generating more income * "affiliate marketing and ads don't mix" and two more digital advertising myths * how display advertising affects SEO * how website owners can optimize for ad income— and the biggest mistakes they often make * who should start adding ads to their site (hint: it's not everybody) What has your experience running ads been like? What are your top tips— or your most trying trials? Let's talk it out over in Businessese HQ.

Think again.


For many bloggers, running ads was a first, failed attempt at monetization. Frustrated with a lack of control over what ads were served to their readers, an impossibly slow load time, and/or an unexpectedly low payout, they eventually chalked the experience up as a lesson learned, removing the ads and never looking back.


But like everything else on the digital landscape, advertising has changed and evolved. Running display ads can most definitely generate real revenue, providing a lucrative and relatively passive income stream. The key is optimizing your site for your advertising— and your advertising for your audience.

There is always a loss in user experience to add advertising to your site. That doesn't mean don't do it. It just means that the return on that advertising needs to be worth it.

This can happen even when a business appears to be doing well, if the owner isn't taking a hard, realistic look at their finances and planning accordingly. When margins are slim, it can only take one unexpected expense—or an unfortunate series of small expenses—to derail a business's bank account. There may not be a foolproof formula for success, but knowing how to manage your money well is definitely an ingredient. You have to get comfortable with those numbers if you want to survive and thrive in running your small business. -Sylvia Inks Maybe you think you're not great with numbers, or you're not sure where to begin when it comes to financial planning for your small business, but the last thing you want to do is avoid dealing with your bottom line. The good news is, you don't have to be an accounting expert to have the financial skills necessary to maintain a profitable business!

When I use my voice I give other people permission to use theirs... when I ask for the money I'm worth I make it easier for other women to ask for the money that they are worth. -Alexia Vernon As this week's guest points out during our interview, everything has a communication component. It's a huge advantage to be able to clearly articulate when it comes to any goal— particularly when it comes to finances and negotiation. Ask for what you want. Get what you're worth. We're so excited to have Alexia Vernon join us to talk about using your voice, and how it ties into your relationship with money. Alexia is the author of Step into Your Moxie: Amplify Your Voice, Visibility, and Influence in the World and creator of The Spotlight Speaker Accelerator and Spotlight Speakers Collective speaker coaching programs. She was dubbed a "Moxie Maven" by President Obama’s White House Office of Public Engagement for her potent approach to women’s empowerment, and has delivered transformational keynotes and corporate training for Fortune 500 companies and professional associations, spoken at the United Nations, and delivered a TEDx talk on the future of feminism. A sought-after women’s speaking and leadership coach, Alexia teaches her clients how to use public speaking to grow their businesses and amplify their thought leadership, honing in on the "big idea" that is center to their work so they can create their signature talk that garners visibility in front of their ideal clients. Listen in as Alexia discusses: * why women struggle with talking about money and asking for what we want * her conversations with her young daughter about using her voice * tips for asking your worth during negotiation * when it's to your advantage to stay silent * the process of signing her book deal for her book * how to step into your moxie when it comes to finances as a whole, so that you can achieve a healthy relationship with your money We need opportunities to flex those disruptive muscles so that when we get into a position where suddenly success is predicated on advocating for our self, advocating for more money, it's not the first time we're trying to do that for ourselves.

]]> 1532 56: Unlock the Mystery: Spend or Skip? Where to Invest in Your Influencer Business https://fearlessbusinesspodcast.com/2018/10/03/episode56/ In our new “Unlock the Mystery” series, we're opening up the conversation about exactly how people make their money and where they struggle to help you get to the root of your relationship with money and reach your own earning potential. You've probably heard the saying, "you've got to spend money to make money." But you've probably also heard "don't throw good money after bad." The bottom line is, if you want to grow and scale your business you need to invest in your business, but not every investment is a smart one. This is especially in the early stages, when every dollar counts and there's little margin for error. So where are the best places to spend money in your influencer business? What's most likely to give you the best return on your investment? Since this is a relatively new and quickly evolving industry, with new tools and platforms emerging all the time, there are no hard and fast rules: you're not going to find a comprehensive, up-to-date guidebook on the best investments for influencer marketing businesses in your local library. We've been working in this space for over a decade, though, and we're always excited to share what we've seen work— and what turned out to be a waste of time and money. (Keeping in mind that when you're running a business, your time can be just as valuable as cash!) In this episode of the Businessese Influencer Marketing Podcast, we advise you on when to skip or spend (in the style of Eat This, Not That) when it comes to investing in your influencer business. Some of the common spends we address: * conferences * courses * virtual assistance * project management systems * plugins * some popular blogging tools and more.

]]> 1642 53: Unlock the Mystery – Our Top Money Lessons https://fearlessbusinesspodcast.com/2018/09/12/episode53/ We need to talk about money. We know, it's awkward. Money can be very taboo to talk about; people tend to tiptoe around the topic, shrugging off questions about profits and expenses, tensing up when it's time to state their rates. But as an industry, it's vital to share our experiences— both the mistakes and the triumphs— so that that we collectively learn, grow and move forward. With the "Unlock the Mystery" series we're opening up the conversation about exactly how people make their money and where they struggle. We hope to help you, our listeners, to get to the root of your relationship with money so you can really get out of your own way and finally reach your earning potential. To kick things off, we're getting personal: talking frankly about the money lessons we’ve learned as they apply to our businesses, our lives and what we have seen clients encounter. Listen in as we discuss: * our own history with money issues * what to invest in when you "can't afford" to invest in your business * ways to avoid wasting money * one thing every influencer needs to do to protect their ongoing income * tips for staying on top of your financial situation * some recommended reading (for those who like homework!) Let's get this dialogue going! What are your ingrained money issues, and how do you deal with them? Join us over in Businessese HQ for discussion, advice and support from your fellow digital entrepreneurs. (Bonus: it doesn't cost you a thing.)

Pinterest is very much like Google. It can drive traffic year over year... there's a whole different type of ecosystem that influencers can really tap into, not only to connect with their audience, but to connect with brands. -Kate Ahl Just how much untapped potential? We're practically rubbing our hands together, we're so excited to dive into that information with this week's guest, Kate Ahl. She's also sharing all her top tips for evolving your Pinterest strategy to maximize traffic and convert pinners into customers. Kate is the owner of Simple Pin Media, where she focuses on Pinterest management for those looking to take that task off their plate completely so they can refocus those energies back into their business. In addition to this strategic content management for her 120 clients (with the help of her team of 35), Kate walks listeners through bootstrapping their own Pinterest marketing on her weekly podcast. Long story short: Kate knows a lot about Pinterest. Listen in and learn about: * the type of growth she's seen from clients once overhauling their Pinterest strategy * the relative importance of follower count as opposed to other metrics * how to determine your target audience, and how to get in front of them on Pinterest * Pinterest best practices, and the only penalty to keep in mind as you prepare your pins * when to update old pins, and when it's a waste of time * the pros and cons of using a third party scheduler like Tailwind * how your Pinterest hashtag strategy should differ from Twitter or Instagram * recommended first steps for new Pinterest accounts, or when converting personal boards for your business What did we miss when it comes to your Pinterest questions?

We know that we want to advocate for change, but what does it mean to truly be an ally? When is it best to speak up and use our respective platforms and when should we sit down and listen? We're so pleased to have Certified Transformational Coach Hope McGrath on the podcast to discuss this important topic. A multi-passionate entrepreneur, Hope combines her love of social consciousness, psychology, spirituality, wellness, fashion, and culture into her work. Her lifestyle platform Radiant Mix celebrates diversity from the mixed, multiracial experience through the lens of culture, style, parenting, and storytelling. Propelled by the current political climate, Hope created Radiant Mix as her way to talk about bringing racial dynamics together. She's also a board member of her family’s non-profit organization, H2 Empower, that enhances education and sustainable development in Africa. People that are one culture, they can have the richness of that culture. But when you're of two or three cultures, you kind of flow between cultures, and that's a different storyline. So I think that's what I'm interested in talking about. -Hope McGrath Hope is co-hosting an international wellness retreat called the Tropical Transformation Wellness Retreat November 7th-12th in the mountains of Colombia. (Contact her using the email address in the resource list below and mention Businessese to receive a very special deal of 20% off your registration for the retreat!) In this episode, you'll hear: * thoughts about the phrase "I don't see color" * the importance of speaking out, as opposed to being worried about saying the wrong thing * how to ask about the things you can't already know * how personal stories lead to dialogues and teaching moments with your children around race * how you can support the Radiant Mix and sites like it.

These are fairly common fears in entrepreneurs, particularly women, and they can absolutely hold you back from achieving your potential. It doesn't have to be this way! Keep in mind that negotiation means collaboration, not confrontation; the objective is to arrive at a compromise that benefits and protects both parties. In this episode of the Businessese Influencer Marketing Podcast, we're hoping to change the way you think about negotiating, and help you to start developing the skills you need to negotiate partnerships that are more productive, lucrative, and protective. Tune in to hear us discuss: * your to-do list BEFORE negotiation begins * our six stage framework for successful negotiation * areas to consider for influencer campaigns * when to get on the phone and when to walk away * negotiable items other than compensation * what to include in your contract Remember that "failures" are just practice and that practice makes perfect. The more you're willing to negotiate, the more you'll remove fear as a factor— and improved confidence will only work in your favor! Understand the value you provide, and be ready to negotiate for what you're worth.

We love a success story.


Headlines continue to sound the death knell for bloggers and blogging, but the truth is that this medium is far from dead. What it's doing is evolving— growing up and learning responsibility, really— and there is no shortage of paths bloggers can take to also evolve, honing their craft and maximizing their potential.

...continual improvement, every day, over a long period of time.


-Bjork Ostrom

Bjork Ostrom and his wife Lindsay are the perfect example of that: they launched the food and recipe blog Pinch of Yum back in 2010, and they've been taking their food blogging business to the next level ever since. Bjork is the founder of Food Blogger Pro, a membership website that teaches food bloggers how to start, grow, and monetize their blogs. Day to day, you’ll also see him around WP Tasty (the go-to place for WordPress plugins for food bloggers), Nutrifox (a tool for creating your own custom nutrition labels), and Pinch of Yum, as well as hosting the Food Blogger Pro podcast.


We're super excited to have you listen in on our conversation with Bjork! In this episode you'll learn about:


* The Food Blog Money Making Experiment: income reports and why they were included them on Pinch of Yum

* the story behind the launch of Food Blogger Pro

* trends in blogging and the influencer space

* Nutrifox, WP Tasty and the plugins that they offer

* advice for those looking to succeed in this space today


What small thing can you do TODAY to take your food blogging (or any blogging!) to the next level? Let's brainstorm over in Businessese HQ, our private Facebook group for digital entrepreneurs and all-around awesome influencers of all kinds.

In 2017, the company was acquired by Rachel Honoway and Eric Nagel of Rust Built and "Type-A" has become synonymous with power blogger and social media influencer. This year's conference will take place September 27-29 in Chicago and features a speaker roster of over 50 professional practitioners (Jamie is one of them!).

Whether you're launching a virtual assistant business or considering hiring a VA to help with your own business, the concept of virtual assistance is very attractive. But what's the most effective way to get this sort of remote work off the ground and generating steady income if you don't already have a roster of potential clients? And where can busy business owners go to find a VA that fits their specific needs and company culture? Abbey Ashley joins us this week to talk all things VA!

She's gone on to grow a multi-six figure business and retire her husband, ALL though her at-home business. One of the biggest mistakes I see people making is that they just wait until everything's perfect instead of just launching. -Abbey Ashley In 2016 Abbey began teaching others how to build a VA business and taste the freedom and flexibility of entrepreneurship. Listen in and learn about: * the skills that are essential for an aspiring VA (and some that are not so essential) * who may be best suited to virtual assistance work * tips for someone hiring a VA and how to find the right person * a common mistake Abbey sees people make when hiring VAs * specialization vs generalization: when to narrow your niche * her advice for those starting their own VA business You'll also hear all about Abbey's online course that's a virtual "business in a box"— VA Bootcamp.

-Angel Djambazov

To give us some guidance on ways content creators can best monetize, we're joined by Angel Djambazov. Angel has spent his professional career in the fields of journalism (as an editor on several newspapers and as founding Editor-in-Chief of Wyoming Homes and Living Magazine) and digital marketing. He launched Custom Tailored Marketing, becoming the agency of record for Jones Soda and KEEN, and was on the founding team and served as the CMO for the startup PopShops.com (later acquired by Rakuten LinkShare). In 2016 Custom Tailored Marketing merged with GTO Management to become Lab6 Media, an agency primarily focused on maintaining elite level Affiliate Marketing and Influencer Marketing management, while expanding core Search Engine Marketing, Social Media Marketing, and Mobile App Marketing services.


Listen in as Angel discusses:


* where to start with affiliate marketing

* the research you should do before joining an affiliate program

* affiliate posts and brand messaging posts, and how the messaging differs

* one way you might be missing out on potential affiliate revenue

* what makes an influencer attractive to brands (it's not all about the numbers)

* tips for better conversion from your content

* points of negotiation to consider

* what you can do to help encourage brand contact and followup


Angel shares a ton of eye-opening info in a short amount of time, but we are sure some questions remain! Let us know what you want to know about affiliate marketing in our private Facebook group, Businessese HQ.

]]> 2186 40: The Latest on Sponsored Content Contracts https://fearlessbusinesspodcast.com/2018/06/13/episode40/ Are we talking contracts again? Yes. Yes we are. You know why? Because contracts are IMPORTANT. They protect you, and they protect your client. They lay out expectations in black and white so there's no confusion later. But, like everything else in the world of influencer marketing, the contracts used for sponsored content are evolving to reflect the changes happening in this space. Thanks to clarifications and consequences relating to FTC disclosures, as well as GDPR regulations, general concerns about data and privacy, and other factors, there's a lot of attention being paid to authenticity, transparency and legality. As it should be. Based on the changes we've seen in our clients' sponsored content contracts through Hashtag Legal, and the questions we've heard asked by influencers, we decided it was time to touch on this topic again. Listen in on this episode of the Businessese Influencer Marketing Podcast to learn about: * exclusivity: what may be asked for and what that entails * intellectual property rights: who retains what, and why * deletion: whether you can take down a sponsored post once your campaign ends * disclosures: of sponsored content and client relationships * how GDPR fits in, and another recent addition we're seeing * plus why you might want to reconsider those comment pods and Facebook support groups. Remember, negotiation works both ways! Sponsored content contracts can often be an ideal resolution for both parties— but you'll never know unless you ask. More questions about contracts? Hit us up over in our private Facebook group, Businessese HQ.

]]> 1742 37: Hiring Our First Full-Time Employee https://fearlessbusinesspodcast.com/2018/05/23/episode37/ There's a lot of fear-facing that goes on when you start your own business. It's an immensely scary thing to strike out on your own, without a safety net; to be your own boss and know your success depends on YOU—what you develop, deliver, ship. It's also scary when your business becomes successful to the extent that you can't do it on your own anymore. The idea of hiring your first employee may be a relief, but going from being your own boss to being someone else's boss comes with a new set of fears: can I afford this? How do I know who to hire? And will I ever really trust this stranger with my baby, my business? Hiring is hard. Relinquishing control of every aspect of the business you've built is even harder. We know all about it because we've been there. We knew if we wanted to grow and scale any further, we had to delegate some of the existing workload. And we're happy to report that we went through the hiring process and survived—and we're ready to share what we've learned with you. Tune in to this week's episode of the Businessese Influencer Marketing Podcast and you'll hear about: * how we made the decision to hire (and when) * how we determined our budget * the process of writing a job description and where we shared it * how we narrowed down the field before conducting interviews * one especially significant criterion that influenced our decision * how we structured on-boarding for our new employee Hiring your first employee is a scary step, but it's eventually an essential one if you want to scale and grow!

You need to be optimizing Facebook. Instagram. Twitter. Pinterest. You need to have a newsletter. Sales funnel. Lead magnet. You need to be posting content constantly. Guest posting. Posting to Medium. Posting to LinkedIn. We would argue that all these "need tos" can be distilled into one REAL need: the need to cultivate a community. After that, the decisions are simple: go where your community is and provide what that community needs. So what does that look like in practice? Here to talk with us this week about cultivating community to grow your business— and the tools that can help you to do that effectively— is Nicole Culver. A former food blogger, Nicole started her own food company, Blissful Eats, in 2011 and grew her company to over 6 figures in revenue using non-traditional methods like Facebook Ads and email marketing. As she had more success, bloggers and influencers came to her asking for help. Now she focuses on supporting bloggers and influencers so they can grow their reach, get paid what they’re worth, and be the go-to expert in their niche. Nicole shows them how they can work less with the time they have and increase their income by being smart with their growth strategy, by using tools like Facebook Ads. In this episode, you'll hear about: * Nicole's evolution from teacher to blogger to food business owner to podcaster to blog business coach * the value of Facebook groups to build relationships * the stumbling blocks that get in the way of building a strong influencer business * the importance of forming a strategy from the start * one sentence that all bloggers need to eliminate from their conversations * a huge untapped opportunity that many bloggers and influencers are missing out on * Nicole's recommendations on optimizing Facebook (Facebook ads vs boosting posts) * one (not so sexy, sorry!) tip to use RIGHT NOW to grow and scale your influencer marketing business.

Conflict is a fact of life—when everyone is the same and no one is challenged, nothing changes and nobody learns or grows. It's an easy concept to understand, but a more complicated one to put into practice. Many of us see any sort of confrontation as being adversarial, and will do pretty much anything to avoid having those difficult conversations. That's an unhealthy habit for anyone, but particularly for entrepreneurs and small business owners! When the buck stops with you, you need to develop those communication skills to help achieve satisfactory resolutions for all parties. To help us identify and work past our triggers when it comes to conflict and difficult communication, we're joined this week by Lara Currie: coach, speaker, and the author of Difficult Happens. With over 25 years of experience in high conflict positions, she has a unique and intuitive understanding of why people act—and react—the way they do. She is passionate about helping business owners make honest and meaningful connections, live with less stress and anxiety, and establish strong boundaries. We are all very unique, but with a theme. We bring our own history to any conversation, any interaction, and along with that our expectations and our assumptions. In this episode, we discuss: * reactionary stances and the compulsion to defend ourselves * common difficult conversations small business owners encounter * different styles of handling conflicts * the emotions we tend to bring to difficult conversations and how to keep them in check * why we should seek out difficult situations * how to prevent a difficult conversation from escalating * tips on preventing (not avoiding!) conflict and stress * Lara's recommendations for those who struggle with boundaries in their business Again, conflict is a fact of life.

While Facebook's use of user data has taken center stage, there's another important piece of privacy news influencers and businesses need to know about— and take action on, soon. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) takes effect on May 25, 2018, and non-compliance can carry sizable fees: up to 4% of annual global turnover or €20 million. Are you ready? The GDPR is an European Union law that expands protection for an individual’s personal information by: * placing more stringent requirements onto companies that possess personal data of EU data subjects * giving these data subjects more control over how their personal information is collected, stored, and used. Even if you are not located in the EU or specifically marketing to EU citizens, the GDPR's strict consent requirements have implications for U.S. based businesses. If you collect any sort of personal information through your website— think email addresses, Google Analytics, names on comments, IP addresses, etc.— you'll want to listen in on this week's episode of the Businesses Influencer Marketing Podcast. We provide an overview of what the GDPR entails, and what website owners need to do to become compliant. In this episode you'll learn: * how and why the GDPR applies to businesses in the United States * exactly what is considered to be personal data, protected by the GDPR * what businesses need to do for compliance, step by step * how this new regulation affects businesses in the online marketing space * about our downloadable GDPR Checklist for Influencers (which includes plugins to simplify the process). It's a pretty sexy subject, so enjoy! We're anticipating follow-up questions, so don't hesitate to share those with us in Businessese HQ. That's our private Facebook group for influencers and online entrepreneurs, and we'd love to have you join in. And don't forget, if you need to purchase a privacy policy that has been updated for GDPR, you can get one in the Businessese store.

You tend to be a perfectionist, leading to issues with imposter syndrome or analysis paralysis. You look for "gold stars" from others to gauge successes. You have definite goals for your business, but shy away from setting solid monetary goals— and maybe secretly freak out when those monetary goals are broken down into monthly targets. You're sometimes not sure if your business is sustainable, or if it's a one way ticket to burnout. All of these mindset issues are extremely common in entrepreneurs, who are notoriously driven, ambitious people. But if you factor in balance, sustainability, and just a general comfort level within the chaos as measures of business success, maybe you need to take a step back and invest in yourself— invest in your self— and find the support you need to shift your mindset and go "from burnout to breakthrough." We're so excited to have Queirra Fenderson, the Ambition Coach, as this week's guest to walk us through that process. Queirra is a Professional Speaker and Certified Coach who helps successful leaders reinvent their relationship to their ambition. She's been through burnout, and she's using the insight gained from that experience to help others put out those fires before they experience burnout themselves. She has inspired business and professional women’s audiences with her dynamic keynotes, TED-style talks and interactive workshops to embrace a new style of ambition and step into their mogul mindset. Before becoming a coach, Queirra led teams as a Marketing Director for more than ten years. She not so secretly geeks out on productivity, personal branding and high performance. She holds the Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential from the International Coach Federation (ICF) and a B.S. in Marketing from George Mason University.

It can be scary. With patience, determination, a lot of elbow grease and a bit of luck, that leap pays off, but whoa. The time in the interim can be scary. As your business grows but the hours in a day most decidedly do not, it can become overwhelming. You might make the decision to relinquish some control and grow your team. That can be scary, too. We talk a lot about growing and scaling your business, and we talk a lot about how normal it is to feel scared at every stage. But it's important that you know this: it can also feel amazing. YOU DID THAT. YOU ARE AWESOME. Now it's time to reflect on what scares you, the obstacles you've faced and the things you've accomplished, the opportunities you've missed and the reasons why, your goals for the future of your business and the steps you need to take to get there. Never miss a chance to give yourself a mental high five, to wring lessons from missteps, and to adjust your goals as needed. That's your recipe for business success. In this episode of the Businessese Influencer Marketing Podcast, we're pulling back the curtain and discussing how we grew and scaled OUR businesses, and the highs and lows we met along the way. Tune in to hear: * background on both of our businesses * how one business grew faster than the other, and how we dealt with that * the mistakes we've made and the lessons we learned from them * one big goal for the year that we're re-evaluating * our advice for others as they wrestle with growing and scaling their businesses. It's critical to remember that all businesses are different and there is no one foolproof blueprint for success, but we hope this episode resonates with you and bolsters your motivation as you grow and scale your business.

]]> 1080 27: Growing and Leveraging Facebook Groups with Brandi Riley https://fearlessbusinesspodcast.com/2018/03/15/episode27/ Once upon a time, not so very long ago, the blogging community was much smaller and tightly knit. Blog posts tended to be more freewheeling and personal in nature, and bloggers and readers alike interacted within the comments section of each one. When you wanted to discover new blogs to read and follow, you either clicked on a commenter’s name to learn more about them or you perused a blogger’s prominently displayed blogroll. Things changed quickly as more and more bloggers entered the scene and social media— particularly the explosion that was Facebook!— allowed them to expand their platforms. Some quickly and intuitively learned to evolve and grow, embracing content marketing and turning their blogs into side hustles or full-time businesses. For others that started blogging simply as an unpaid vehicle for sharing thoughts with a like-minded, relatively small community, that evolution was and continues to be a challenge. Confidence comes from knowing you're not alone. -Brandi Riley Facebook groups are an amazing way to foster that sense of community, allowing you to interact with your readers or customers and just as importantly, allowing them to connect with each other. One of our absolute favorite groups for bloggers and influencers is Brandi Riley’s Courage to Earn community. Brandi is a blogger, blog coach, book author, and contributing writer to several sites, as well as the founder of the Mastermind group Courage to Earn More and the Courage to Earn More retreat.

]]> 1840 24: Tech and SEO Made Simple with Katy Widrick https://fearlessbusinesspodcast.com/2018/02/21/episode24/ Getting started with a website can be intimidating. We're not even talking about building your business and the marketing, financial, and legal considerations that go along with it— we're talking about the actual creating and maintaining of your site. Suddenly, you're faced with a whole new set of terms and skills to learn: the most reliable plugins to install, the best ways to optimize for site speed and user experience, and how to use search engine optimization (SEO) so that potential readers can find your site in the first place. Even if you've been in the game a long time, the backend of your site and dealing with SEO can be a challenge. As we've said so many times before, the digital landscape continues to evolve and change at a rapid rate, which means an influencer that started blogging in 2005 has over a decade's worth of material that might be out of date or under-optimized for today's algorithms. You may want to update, but are afraid of doing something to break your site (most long-term bloggers have experienced this at least once, and don't relish the idea of doing it again). I don't ever want someone to not follow through with something they're passionate about because they're scared of tech. -Katy Widrick Katy Widrick is one of our go-to people when things break. A self made, self taught influencer, Katy has a background in broadcast journalism and policy studies and was working in television news when she started a behind the scenes blog for the station. She's now a personal trainer and group fitness instructor as well as the owner of Make Media Over, a consulting and managed services company for bloggers. In this episode of the Businessese Influencer Marketing Podcast, Katy helps break down some of the tech side of maintaining a website. She also offers up tips for SEO made simple, so that influencers can stop worrying about those details and focus on what they'd rather be doing: creating amazing content. It's all about telling a story. It's all about communicating something with your audience, whatever audience that is, and trying to find a way to make it your business but still your passion. Give us a listen and you'll learn: * more about how Katy went "from hobby to jobby" * the things that every influencer should be familiar with when it comes to the backend of their site * the importance of backing up your site and knowing how to use your backup * the tools that Katy feels are underutilized by bloggers * what influencers don't need to stress about SEO— and the one thing they need to do to win the SEO game * how to get started with an SEO self-audit and Google Search Console What has you stumped about tech or SEO?

They say that a dream without a plan is just a wish. That a goal is a dream with a plan and a deadline. We're going to say that a business without a dream, a goal, a plan, and a deadline is a mess. A well developed brand strategy ties all of these essential elements together for your business. It refines your why (your overall vision and dream) and your what and when (specific goals on a specific timeline) before nailing down the how with a long-term plan that moves you toward achieving your goals. It can feel like an tremendous undertaking, but once your brand strategy is clearly defined it provides a framework to follow. Your day to day decisions and path to success will become easier and more clearly defined as well. For this week's episode of the Businessese Influencer Marketing Podcast, we were super excited to sit down and chat with Stacey Ferguson about building a digital brand strategy and so much more. Stacey has hit legend status for those who have been immersed in this space for some time: she started blogging in 2006 about being a working mom and attorney on Mama Law, before co-founding the Be Blogalicious conference and networking community celebrating diversity in social media. She's now an influencer coach, media personality, digital brand strategist, content creator, public speaker, and Chief Curator of the Be Blogalicious community and conferences. Listen in to hear us discuss: * how Blogalicious has evolved along with influencer marketing— and what's in store this year for its 10th anniversary * Stacey's "recipe" for running a successful event * what has changed the most in influencer marketing over the last decade * the importance of brand strategy for influencers, as well as knowing your audience * tips for crafting better pitches * how to give a full picture of the value you've provided a brand * something you probably should have done six months ago to boost productivity and revenue * the components of your personal brand that Stacey finds essential for a sustainable revenue stream They're hiring you, at the end of the day, so that they can show a return on their investment. That you're a great marketing resource for the brand. And so I want influencers to be extremely professional. -Stacey Ferguson There's a ton of topics to chew on when it comes to building your brand strategy—join us over in Businessese HQ on Facebook to share your questions, progress, and flashes of brilliance!

"What is my mission? What is my brand story?"

They say that a dream without a plan is just a wish. That a goal is a dream with a plan and a deadline.


We're going to say that a business without a dream, a goal, a plan, and a deadline is a mess.


A well developed brand strategy ties all of these essential elements together for your business. It refines your why (your overall vision and dream) and your what and when (specific goals on a specific timeline) before nailing down the how with a long-term plan that moves you toward achieving your goals.


It can feel like an tremendous undertaking, but once your brand strategy is clearly defined it provides a framework to follow. Your day to day decisions and path to success will become easier and more clearly defined as well.

To help us ferret those out and address other questions we've seen pertaining to finding success with influencer networks, we've turned to Tiffany Romero. For those who have been in this space for some time, the name Tiffany Romero is nearly synonymous with the concept of influencer networking.

If you find that difficult to believe, it might be time for a fresh perspective and a change in approach. We feel strongly about sponsored content. Some items to consider if yours underperforms: The Biggest Myth About Sponsored Content Performance To tackle this topic, we turned to someone who consistently creates some of our favorite authentic sponsored content: Patrick Quinn from Life of Dad.

]]> 1907 18: Masterminds and Accountability https://fearlessbusinesspodcast.com/2018/01/10/episode18/ The life of a solo entrepreneur can be isolating, at times. Without the benefit of an office environment and co-workers to speak to about the day-to-day workings of your business, who understand the nuances of your common goal—building and selling your specific product or service—it's easy to become bogged down by overwhelm, paralysis, and feelings of inadequacy (we discuss these issues at length in our last episode, Mind Your Mindset). Another byproduct of being too much in your own head is being unable to see the forest for the trees, so to speak. When you're so close to all the mechanisms of your business, you may not see your way past a problem (heck, you may not even be able to see that there is a problem) or how to spark new growth. But those answers may be obvious from someone viewing your business from the outside, or who has faced a similar challenge in the past. We're not suggesting that you go looking for an office position, or even that you seek out coworking office space—although that's certainly a viable possibility for some entrepreneurs! What works for us, and what we recommend for anyone hoping to level up their online business this year, is finding and participating in a mastermind group. What is a Mastermind? To put it simply, a mastermind is a group of people working together toward a common goal. There are masterminds for all sorts of things, like finances and health goals, but here we are talking about business masterminds for entrepreneurial growth and success. We love masterminds for their ability to help with goal setting and accountability.

The life of a solo entrepreneur can be isolating, at times. Without the benefit of an office environment and co-workers to speak to about the day-to-day workings of your business, who understand the nuances of your common goal—building and selling your specific product or service—it's easy to become bogged down by overwhelm, paralysis, and feelings of inadequacy (we discuss these issues at length in our last episode, Mind Your Mindset). Another byproduct of being too much in your own head is being unable to see the forest for the trees, so to speak. When you're so close to all the mechanisms of your business, you may not see your way past a problem (heck, you may not even be able to see that there is a problem) or how to spark new growth.

]]> 1467 17: Mind Your Mindset: Interview with Don Jackson https://fearlessbusinesspodcast.com/2018/01/03/episode17/ Being a business owner can mean doing scary things that fall outside of our comfort zones. A lot. There's the insecurity that comes before launch, wondering if anyone cares about what you provide— whether that's a product, service or blog post: Why would anyone read this? I'm not an expert. There are other people that do this better than I do. Is anyone really going to buy this? People could make it themselves if they wanted. I really don't think what I do is good enough for "real" companies. Then there's the realization that you're the one in charge. You set the goals, the deadlines, the hours, the quality control and the accountability. There's no passing the buck; your decisions are your own, and you're the one dealing with the successes or issues that result from them. Add to that the fact that in order to succeed, you always need to be doing new things— seeking new clients, learning and implementing new marketing techniques or technical processes, developing improved products, figuring out how to allow room in your schedule for business growth while retaining a personal life. Sometimes, it can feel like you're just bumbling along and it's only a matter of time before you make a catastrophic, business killing mistake. And so you start delaying the things that you need to do. "You, most of the time, are the reason why your business succeeds and fails. A lot of times the reason why your business fails is because you don't think you belong in the game." -Don Jackson We are here to tell you that you are not alone. In this episode of the Businessese Influencer Marketing Podcast, we tackle three common mindset issues for entrepreneurs— imposter syndrome, a feeling of overwhelm, and the paralysis caused by the fear of moving forward— and how to navigate your business through them. Further reading: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome and Analysis Paralysis We're joined by the man that we affectionately refer to as Dr. Producer Don. Don Jackson is our producer on the Businessese podcast, and he really is a doctor: Don earned his doctorate in both Philosophy and Forensic Psychology from Harvard University.

Don brings his expertise to the conversation as we discuss: * the characteristics of someone operating under a fear mindset * what to do and how to deal when you encounter a roadblock * how to avoid getting stuck in the research phase of a project * struggling with imposter syndrome, as a parent and as a business owner * active steps people can take to combat imposter syndrome * the most important quality in an accountability partner * what to do when you feel like no one is interested in what you have to say. "Sometimes I'll walk into a room and I'll most likely be the smartest guy in the room, but there's times when I feel like the dumbest guy in the room.

Being a business owner can mean doing scary things that fall outside of our comfort zones.

A lot.

There's the insecurity that comes before launch, wondering if anyone cares about what you provide— whether that's a product, service or blog post:


Why would anyone read this? I'm not an expert.

There are other people that do this better than I do.

Is anyone really going to buy this? People could make it themselves if they wanted.

I really don't think what I do is good enough for "real" companies.


Then there's the realization that you're the one in charge. You set the goals, the deadlines, the hours, the quality control and the accountability. There's no passing the buck; your decisions are your own, and you're the one dealing with the successes or issues that result from them.


Add to that the fact that in order to succeed, you always need to be doing new things— seeking new clients, learning and implementing new marketing techniques or technical processes, developing improved products, figuring out how to allow room in your schedule for business growth while retaining a personal life.


Sometimes, it can feel like you're just bumbling along and it's only a matter of time before you make a catastrophic, business killing mistake. And so you start delaying the things that you need to do.

"You, most of the time, are the reason why your business succeeds and fails.


A lot of times the reason why your business fails is because you don't think you belong in the game."

Brit and Maggie are the creators of Small Business Boss, which is designed to help service-based business owners navigate the finer points of growing a business with practicality and a profitable plan. They also run the digital marketing agency Scoop Studios, and are first and foremost service business owners: they don't just teach, they actually test and live everything they share with you. Between the two of them, they have over 25 years of experience in client services roles and are the co-hosts of the Small Business Boss Podcast.


Every small business owner is going to want to tune in to this episode of the Businessese Influencer Marketing Podcast to learn about:


* why it is that entrepreneurs struggle with goal setting— and why they need to flip their mindset for success

* the Supercharged Success framework for discussing and creating goals

* the importance of carving time out for your goals while prioritizing client needs

* how to hold your boundaries and keep a handle on your schedule when outside factors try to derail them

* Brit and Maggie's new, super actionable workshop that helps to you manage your time and be more productive


You'll also hear Brit and Maggie walk us through plotting out one of our 2018 goals, step by step (hint: our word for 2018 is OUTSOURCE).


Give it a listen and get ready to make 2018 a year to remember! 


What's your goal for the year to come? Let us know (and share your best goal setting and productivity tips!) in Businessese HQ, our private Facebook community.

It's the moment you've been waiting for! This episode is the final installment in our series, 4 Marketing Tools Every Influencer Needs. We've gone over the power of pitching, detailed mastering the media kit, broken down closing strong with campaign reporting, and now, at long last, we're going to make the case for case studies. What is a case study? We think case studies are one of the most underutilized tools bloggers have, and we want to change that.

They act as portfolio and proof in one visually pleasing, snackable package.

Now suppose the person works for the company that sells the product – or has been paid by the company to tout the product. Would you want to know that when you’re evaluating the endorser’s glowing recommendation? You bet. That common-sense premise is at the heart of the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) Endorsement Guides. The FTC’s Endorsement Guides: What People Are Asking The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and their guidelines for disclosure have been a hot topic for some time in the world of influencer marketing. Earlier this year, the FTC made clear that they were taking proper disclosure seriously, sending out a round of letters warning influencers who had material relationships with brands they endorsed that they could be fined (up to $40,000!) for non-compliance. That fine may be a drop in the bucket for top-tier Instagram celebrities, but it's significant motivation for influencers, networks and business owners to take the time to ensure they fully understand and are handling disclosures correctly. Another significant motivation: proper disclosure means that you are being honest with your readers, followers or customers. Quite simply, it is the ethical thing to do.

Contact Hashtag Legal to set up a consult to assist with your questions about influencer marketing contracts.  When we talk about intellectual property, we are speaking of products of the mind: ownership of work or content that has been born out of creativity, whether it's an invention, an image, or a literary piece. It might be easier to think of this as ownership of something intangible; while I might own a Harry Potter t-shirt, Harry Potter and his wizarding world belongs to J.K. Rowling, a character and universe of her own creation. As the owner she has the legal right to transfer that ownership if she ever so desired (assignment), or to license its use by another party on a limited basis (for instance, to make Harry Potter t-shirts). Seems simple enough, right? Well, hang on a second. The three main intellectual property areas are patent, copyright, and trademarks. Not every creation can be patented, copyrighted, or trademarked; there are certain rules surrounding each that govern whether the creation in question can be exclusively owned. Also, there are times where someone may be allowed to use your copyrighted material without your giving permission— this falls under the umbrella of fair use and includes instances of parody, commentary, and criticism. For a quick crash course in copyright and trademarks: Intellectual Property: All About Copyright Trademarks and Blogging: What You Should Know In this week's episode of the Businessese Influencer Marketing Podcast, we cover the two areas of intellectual property that we deal with most in the influencer marketing space—trademarks and copyright. Listen in as we discuss: * what can or can't be trademarked or copyrighted * how trademark and copyright rights are acquired, and when they should be registered * licensing and the boundaries of fair use * how to go about protecting your work * and when to involve a lawyer. We also include some hard-to-hear truth about using those free online stock photo sites.

Every single time. Every. Single. Time. If the other party doesn't offer you a contract to sign, it's perfectly appropriate to request one or to be proactive and volunteer a contract of your own. You can download our Content Sponsorship Contract or Independent Contractor Contract to get started. Easier said than done, you may be thinking. We understand that legalese can sometimes feel like a different language, one that is designed to confuse and ensnare. And what is omitted from a contract can be just as important as what has been included— a daunting realization for someone who doesn't have the experience to know what they should be looking for. Contracts are far too important to be intimidated by. Let's work on translating that legalese so that you understand what you're signing, before you sign. In this episode of the Businessese Influencer Marketing podcast, we detail what influencers, brands, networks and agencies need to know when drafting or reading influencer marketing contracts.

And even after a successful launch, there's plenty to keep you occupied as you maintain or begin to grow that business. The last thing you probably want to think about is the legal side of your business. For many this is intimidating ground to tread at any time, let alone when you're dealing with all the moving pieces of entrepreneurship. You may think that your business is still so small, no one is going to notice your legal corner cutting. In reality, dealing with the legal side of your business is the last thing you want to put off until some "more convenient" time. Legal mistakes can be costly, time consuming, and confidence shaking. One thing that we absolutely hate is that they can be devastating to a small business. There are some legal concerns that all businesses have in common, and there are some legal mistakes in the influencer marketing world that we see with regularity (and it's not just the influencers that are making them). In this week's episode of the Businessese Influencer Marketing Podcast, we're discussing the six most common mistakes we see in the world of influencer marketing and how to avoid or fix them: * not forming the right entity at the right time * not having the appropriate website policies in place * not getting it in writing * not disclosing * not understanding intellectual property rights * ignoring the legal side of your business Give us a listen and subscribe on iTunes to ensure you don't miss future episodes.

For many this is intimidating ground to tread at any time, let alone when you're dealing with all the moving pieces of entrepreneurship. You may think that your business is still so small, no one is going to notice your legal corner cutting.


In reality, dealing with the legal side of your business is the last thing you want to put off until some "more convenient" time. Legal mistakes can be costly, time consuming, and confidence shaking. One thing that we absolutely hate is that they can be devastating to a small business.


There are some legal concerns that all businesses have in common, and there are some legal mistakes in the influencer marketing world that we see with regularity (and it's not just the influencers that are making them).


In this week's episode of the Businessese Influencer Marketing Podcast, we're discussing the six most common mistakes we see in the world of influencer marketing and how to avoid or fix them:


* not forming the right entity at the right time

* not having the appropriate website policies in place

* not getting it in writing

* not disclosing

* not understanding intellectual property rights

* ignoring the legal side of your business
