Now in this video, it's gonna be like super helpful because you're gonna have all the tips you're gonna need to grow your business. So let's jump right into it right now and let's get going. Also, I wanna remind you at the end of this video, I've got a free course. You can opt in for that, no credit card required, just click and learn. Okay, so the first thing, the first thing is the one thing that most people don't wanna do, but you gotta do it, you gotta be a prolific content creator, okay? So what can you do with your brand that gets across to people that is going to actually resonate with them? Now, if you think of, let's say Dove Soap, Dove Soap is just soap, but what they've been doing is posting a lot of content that has to do with positive self-body image. So what can you do with your brand? Now, our brand has to do with Survival Food. I own a company that's a survival food company, so we post content that shows how to keep your family safe. What can you do with your brand? What kind of videos, what kind of blog posts can you do that are going to bring people in and have them resonate with your brand? Number two is build a content website or start some sort of blog already on your website. This is super important, guys. What can you do to keep them on your website? What can you do to keep them scrolling? What can you do to keep them reading? What can you do to keep them watching? These are things you're gonna have to do to grow your brand as the years go on. Number three, build your email list. This is something I didn't do in the beginning. It's so very important now. Had I have known what I know now, I would have been working on my email list. And email lists are easy to build, okay? It's not a matter of saying sign up for our newsletter because most people aren't gonna do that. But if you offer them free downloads, if you offer them free lists, free guides, if they give up their email, you will build your email list. And when you build your email list, you can market to that list and make a tremendous amount of money. You've gotta build your email list, guys. This is super important. Number four, create and grow a Facebook group. People are self-segregating into these groups, okay? They wanna be part of a group that talks about subject matter that they are interested in. So how can you facilitate that? How can you build a group around your particular subject, okay? So I have several different groups and some of them have to do with making money online. Some of them have to do with survival. What group can you grow? What group can you build to build this list of people that are interested in you and your company? All these things matter, okay? All these things matter. You may not be able to do every single one of them in the beginning, but building a Facebook group is a really great way to get started. Next one, number five, increase your organic traffic by using Pinterest. Now, I've always been a website person and a Facebook person, and I never use Pinterest much, but I tell you what, it's a great way to grow your business, okay? If you can post pictures in Pinterest that hold people's interest, then get them interested in your company. It works great. There's also an app called GrowGROW. You can check out, and that will help you in posting on Pinterest and does a lot of this stuff automatically for you. So check that out, build your Pinterest interest. Number six, and you're gonna see that this is dear to my heart, build a YouTube channel. I'm on YouTube right now. A YouTube channel, guys, is so very, very important. And I know some of you don't wanna make videos, but you just gotta get over that hump, okay? If you wanna grow your business in the coming years, you've gotta get over that hump. Having a YouTube channel can build your audience dramatically. And the thing about YouTube is it's free. It doesn't even cost you anything to do videos on YouTube. Why wouldn't you do that? I understand the fear of making videos. I understand the fear of getting in front of a camera, but once you've done it a few times, or in my case, over 1,000 times, you just kinda get used to it. You wanna build a YouTube channel, guys. This is one of the, one things that I think that every single business, every single individual for that matter should probably do is to grow a YouTube channel. Why not? Why not have a following? Why not have people watching your videos? Why not be able to speak to your audience through a medium-like video, and YouTube is the best way to do it. Number seven, run giveaways or contests. Oh my gosh, this is so important, guys. Now I want you to think about this. We sell survival food, and if we put up a prize like some survival food, some freeze-dried or dehydrated meals, or some of our canned meats, and people apply or people enter that contest to win that product, they have an interest in that product, okay? So I'm not gonna have somebody who doesn't care anything about food storage entering my contest. I'm only gonna have people who are very interested in that particular product. Now here's the cool thing you can do. Once you've run your contest and you've done your giveaway, you can take the list of people who actually entered for that particular drawing and send them a coupon for a discount on that particular product. Think about it. They already like that product, and if you send them a coupon or a discount code for that product, odds are they're gonna buy some of it. So not only have you run a really cool contest and given people stuff for free, but you also can sell to that audience of people who actually entered the contest. Number eight, host a quiz. Yes, a quiz, okay? We have different quizzes, but one of the ones that was really successful for us was are you a true survivalist? Are you a true survivalist? Now think about this. People who are buying survival food, which I own a survival food company, they wanna know that they're prepared. They wanna know that they are the kind of like top group of people who are prepared for this type of thing. So they would love to do stuff like quizzes like that. And once I do a quiz like that, I'm gathering all those names and emails and I can put them on my list and actually market my product to those particular people. And it's kind of fun too. When they do one of these quizzes, they see what their score is, they see how well they did, and you can build your list. So do some sort of quiz around your business. It's so easy to do. Number nine, partner with brands and businesses that are in your niche. Now think about this. We own a survival food company. So I could partner with somebody who sells some type of survival tools. I could partner with somebody who maybe has bunkers that are underground. I could partner with people who have maybe gun rights. All of these things kind of match together. And those people, those people are also looking to partner with you. I know there's that internal fear where like I'm gonna contact somebody and they're not gonna be interested. So what? Some people won't be interested. But here's the cool thing. If you contact enough people, some people will be interested. So just find people within your niche. Let's say you're in the exercise and fitness niche, okay? And let's say you're a big bodybuilding guy and you're a big tough guy. You may wanna partner with some type of female out there that is teaching women how to be in shape. You may wanna partner out there with some type of nutrition company that sells vitamins. You may wanna partner out there with some types of exercise equipment companies out there. There's so many possibilities, no matter what niche you're in, but you need to partner with other people that are similar to your brand and your products. Number 10, reach out to influencers. Now, you may have thought in the past that an influencer was gonna be way too expensive. You're thinking Kim Kardashian or something like that. But that's not what you need to look for. All you need to do is find somebody who has about 1,000 followers or maybe 5,000 or maybe even 10,000 followers. You will be surprised how inexpensive it is for them to do a shout out to their audience. Somebody who has 1,000 or 5,000 followers, if you got a 5% sales or 2% sales off those people, you'd be doing pretty darn good. So you wanna check out these influencers out there. They don't have to be big names anymore. As a matter of fact, it's more trustworthy if it's an individual that people can relate to. Some of these smaller groups, some of these smaller influencers have a much bigger reach and a much better influence over their audience than do somebody who have millions of people. Somebody who has millions of people, quite honestly, they can't connect with all those people. But somebody who's got 5 or 10,000 people following them, they can. And you'll find that some of the expense of having them do a shout out is well worth it. Sometimes it's 50 or 100 bucks or 200 bucks. And that's well worth it to get your name in front of their viewers who are already interested in your niche. So that concludes the first 10 things you can do.
