How to Create Profitable Content (8 Must-Haves for Business Owners) If you want to get off the content hamster wheel that does NOTHING to grow your business - this episode will give you the roadmap.    Here are 8 Must-Haves for creating Profitable Content (*Which we're diving into in this episode!):   1. Stop creating just to create. Take a step back and look at what you’re creating - what are you seeing success with? What platforms? What types of content? 2. Focus on the platforms with the highest ROI: Instagram + YouTube you need a multi-platform strategy if you want to be able to post & attract leads immediately, Instagram is your jam - but the content has a shorter shelf-life. YouTube videos can attract new viewers for several months, or even YEARS - but it can take time to gain traction that makes a real difference in your business. Youtube is your long-game, expert-building platform, and your long-term strategy that attracts leads on repeat Instagram will give you more immediate results and sales growth. 3. Video is going to be your main driver of sales in 2023 and beyond Video increases trust Video builds your personal brand Video is the most popular way to grow an audience on social media (Forbes) Video makes you memorable 4. Stop niching down so much Don’t niche down to the point where you’re bored - include the things that are YOU. That way - your personal brand stays flexible. And you can use it to pivot to where you want to go next. 5. Get on YouTube. Focus on:  SEO Keyword Research Content Pillars Create these 3 types of videos Expertise (build your credibility + they’re highly searchable) Connection (show a more personal side of your business)

Oh hey, friend! Today, we're diving deep into the exciting world of authenticity - both in our real lives and on the ever-colorful realm of social media. Brace yourself, because who we are is like a captivating tapestry of growth and change! We undergo transformations as we grow and learn. The things we stood for years ago might not be the same today. But don't even fret, because in the middle of this beautiful evolution, there's always a little thread of authenticity that remains true to ourselves. Now, let's talk about getting to know the fabulous you! Here's a few Key Steps to Embrace Authenticity (and what we're covering in this episode): Get to know yourself through journaling and self-reflection. Define how you want to show up and be perceived by others. Embrace and celebrate your unique qualities; they attract genuine connections. Live and embody your authentic self in real life. Ensure your social media posts align with your true identity and values, avoiding excessive curation. Journaling is our superpower here - it lets us uncover our passions, strengths, weaknesses, and beliefs. Ask yourself questions: "What lights up my soul?" or "What am I absolutely terrible at?" It's all about understanding who you are and what you stand for, my friend! Once you've tapped into your authentic self, you'll discover your unique voice - how you want to be seen and show up in this wonderful journey called life. Now, let's embrace those quirks, my friend! Those delightful little things that make you uniquely you - they're the special ingredients that draw amazing people into your life. Whether it's your cute little crooked nose (adorable alert!), the way you unconsciously breathe when you're focused (own it, friend!), or the emoticon-like expressions you make, they all make you one-of-a-kind! (Spoiler alert - those are some of MY OWN quirks!) Alright, let's turn our attention to social media. When you're sharing your content, ask yourself, "Does this reflect the real, authentic me?" Remember, friends, people crave genuine connections. Forbes agrees - raw, unfiltered content is what sparks magic! And hey, if you're feeling a little camera-shy for your business, no worries, my friend! I've got your back! >>> Check out my free mini-course at shanayurko.com/confident It's the perfect confidence booster! So, my dear friend, here's the recipe for authenticity: Get to know yourself, define how you want to show up, celebrate your quirks, live your truth, and sprinkle that magic on your social media. Together, let's build a brand that shines with joy and authenticity! Oh, and one more thing!
