ABOUT TODAY’S SHOW On today’s show, Jennifer talks about hacking the social media algorithm and goes over some content repurposing tips.   ABOUT JENNIFER Meet Jennifer (Jenn) Neal – the CEO and Founder of Formula Done, creator of Content Activation and the Content Connection Academy, tech geek, marketing expert, wife, and Formula 1 racing fan all bunched up into one! Jenn’s extensive qualifications, paired with her magnetic bold personality, has attracted an array of driven business owners to see her as their reluctant hero. She’s since converted from an operator of her business to a successful entrepreneur. Jenn worked hard in her business and, over time, identified the patterns that worked (and the ones that didn’t) for the companies she’d previously worked for. She’d realized that the key was content and consistency. She knew that it is crucial to have the right CORE system in place to attract, direct, and retain the traffic once you find it. Jenn has developed, tested, and successfully launched products in and around content repurposing using her own method called Content Activation. She is now a well-known authority on traffic, content repurposing, and messaging. Jenn is a leader in the market and knows the roadmap to online success. She believes that small businesses are the key to strong communities and not only give back but create an upward growth cycle. Being a strong, influential entrepreneur herself, Jenn believes that entrepreneurs can change the world for the better through strength and determination. “As an entrepreneur, we start a business because we have a mission – a vision – and a known purpose in life – to help others. Content Activation maximizes our efforts and creates the momentum necessary to achieve that vision, help others and continue to serve.” – Jenn Neal   LINKS SHARED ON THE SHOW Facebook: www.facebook.com/thevirtualjenn LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/thevirtualjenn Twitter: @thevirtualjenn https://twitter.com/thevirtualjenn Instagram: @thevirtualjenn www.instagram.com/thevirtualjenn https://turningcontenttocash.com Program Details: https://turningcontenttocash.com?fpr=christie93   ABOUT OUR SHOW Mastery Unleashed (formerly Overcoming Mediocrity) is a podcast for success-driven women who want to empower their thoughts, design their dream businesses, and build beautiful lives that are aligned with their destinies—hosted by Bestselling Author and Business Strategist Christie Ruffino.
