Beyond the Numbers: Why I Keep Posting on YouTube

Beyond the Numbers: Why I Keep Posting on YouTube
Ever wondered why I keep posting on YouTube, even with such lackluster results? In this episode, I dive into the reasons behind persisting in the face of minimal traction.From my humble beginnings on this channel over a decade ago to the present day, I've only managed to gather a modest following, despite hundreds of videos and years of effort. So why do I continue? Let's explore.Firstly, YouTube isn't my primary platform. I'm primarily focused on short-form content and refocusing on Facebook. YouTube is more of a supplementary platform for me, a convenient place to host video versions of my podcast episodes.While I've made some tweaks over the years, I haven't dedicated much time to studying or improving my YouTube strategy. SEO, for example, is an area I could pay more attention to, but my bandwidth is maxed out with other priorities.However, despite the lack of immediate results, there are valuable reasons I persist:Processing Thoughts: Sharing content on YouTube helps me organize and understand my thoughts better. If I can explain it to you, I understand it myself.More Content: YouTube provides additional content that reaches a few more people each week. Plus, I can repurpose videos for other platforms, maximizing my reach.Continuous Improvement: Most importantly, showing up regularly, regardless of results, makes me better. It improves my ability to communicate and refine my content creation process.Sure, my YouTube channel isn't exploding with views, but the benefits extend far beyond metrics. It's about the journey of improvement, the practice, and the growth that comes with persistence.Join me as I discuss why showing up, even when the results aren't what we hope for, is key to long-term success. Whether you're struggling with YouTube, a business venture, or personal goals, remember: progress often comes in small, unseen steps. Keep showing up, keep improving, and success will follow.Tune in to this episode for insights, motivation, and a reminder that consistency pays off in unexpected ways.===============================Lewis Howes and Alex Hormozi on the School of Greatnesshttps://youtu.be/WK-d4H7xtvQ?si=pmzQVqbHO8_TkDTg=============πŸ”—Join our Facebook communityhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Learning How to Rock Social Media: Marketing vs. Making Friends
Hey there! In today's episode, I want to talk about some cool stuff I've been learning on social media lately.πŸš€ Two Paths, Two GoalsI'm on two learning journeys right now. First, I'm learning digital marketing for platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Second, I'm figuring out how to make more friends and connections on Facebook. So, a path of Networking and a path of Marketing.πŸ” Different Social Media, Different VibesLet's talk about the big ones: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and even Pinterest. These platforms are great for connecting with others and sharing cool stuff, like videos and pictures.πŸ“ˆ Getting Found on YouTube and PinterestYouTube and Pinterest are like treasure hunts! You've got to make sure your videos and pins are easy to find when people search for stuff. So, pay special attention to SEO when you're creating for these platforms.🀝 Making Friends on FacebookNow, Facebook is a bit different. It's not just about posting cool stuff; it's about making friends and talking to people. I used to just post stuff and focused more on trying to "market" on Facebook, but I realized it's more effective to chat with people and make new friends.πŸ’‘ Finding New Ways with Predictive Social MediaSo, I found this awesome thing called Predictive Social Media.

The Dark Side of Digital Marketing: Flash vs. Substance

The Dark Side of Digital Marketing: Flash vs. Substance
Hey there, it's Ronnie! Today, we're diving into the world of results-oriented marketing and why it might not be the best long-term strategy for your business.Results-oriented marketing is all about showing off the results and enticing people to buy your products or services based on those results. It's like the old-school advertising we used to see on TV, radio, and in print media. Remember those days?In this video, we explore how this approach is prevalent, especially in the digital marketing space. From income claims to extravagant lifestyles, marketers often use flashy tactics to grab attention and elicit impulsive reactions from their audience.But here's the thing: while it might work in the short term to get attention and make a quick sale, it's NOT SUSTAINABLE. Why? Because it lacks depth, substance, and authenticity.I share my observations on how this approach is saturating the digital marketing space and how audiences are starting to tune out. Instead of focusing solely on immediate sales, I advocate for building genuine relationships with your audience.Social media offers us the opportunity to connect and engage with our audience on a deeper level. By delivering value, being authentic, and letting people get to know who you are, you can develop trust and rapport that lasts.In this video, I discuss why authenticity and value are key to building a sustainable marketing strategy, even if it means a slower build initially. Trust me, it's worth it in the long run.So, if you're tired of the flashy tactics and want to build a thriving business with a loyal audience, this video is for you.If you resonate with what I'm saying, make sure to rate and leave a review and follow the show for more episodes on digital marketing and business growth.Until next time, be well, be safe, and I'll see you in the next episode!=============πŸ”—Join our Facebook communityhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/redefinecommunity

Understanding the Impact of Social Media: Echo Chambers and Feedback Loops

Understanding the Impact of Social Media: Echo Chambers and Feedback Loops
In today's video, we discuss the intricate workings of social media and its impact on our mindsets. As a prominent figure within my network marketing company, I feel compelled to share insights into the complexities of social media dynamics and how they influence our perceptions -- all this in light of what's been happening in my business.Over the past weeks, the public exits of key individuals within my company have reverberated across social media platforms, sparking widespread discussion and speculation. Despite my initial reticence to engage publicly, I recognize the importance of offering clarity and perspective amidst the digital noise.Social media serves as a double-edged sword, offering instant validation while perpetuating echo chambers of like-minded opinions. The algorithm curates content and creates feedback loops that reinforces existing beliefs, often at the expense of diverse perspectives and critical discourse. We can, if we're not careful, become more narrow minded as a direct result of how we engage on social media.In this video, I urge viewers to exercise mindfulness in their social media interactions, recognizing the power they wield as both consumers and creators of content. By fostering a culture of intentionality and responsible sharing, we can mitigate the negative effects of social media echo chambers and empower others to make informed decisions.Join me as we navigate the complexities of social media and strive to be conscientious stewards of digital discourse. Your engagement and thoughtful consideration are vital in shaping a more inclusive and constructive online community.Stay tuned for more insights and discussions in future episodes.
