How To Build Your Social Media Brand (with Jake Rushton)

"There's no reason you can't make content.There's no excuses. Just get started. Because it could open opportunities you don't even know." - Jake Rushton Jake and I can both honestly say that we would not be where we are in our careers today without social media, but for many of those who tune into the show, getting started with producing content can be super intimidating. How do you film reels or podcasts? Do you need a bunch of super expensive equipment right away? And, if you put the time/money in, what’s truly the ROI? Jake Rushton is a 401k and retirement planner who in recent years has also started social media strategy consulting through his company Zeke Digital. He’s mastered the art of starting a social media presence, creating content catered to your goals, and turning your likes and followers into clients. Of course, in the social media world, ROI isn’t immediate; social marketing is a marathon, not a sprint. But, if you invest your time and energy wisely, you can open up opportunities in your career you’ve never even thought of. Chapters: (00:06:01) Running A Marathon At Twelve (!)
