The Secret Sauce to Social Media Success (That No One's Telling You)24 Jul 202400:12:51

In this episode, Michelle Thames discusses the secret sauce to social media success and reveals the three biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make on social media. The first mistake is content chaos, where entrepreneurs post sporadically without a plan. The second mistake is the 'me, me, me' message and mess, where entrepreneurs constantly self-promote without providing value to their audience. The third mistake is getting caught up in vanity metrics, such as likes and followers, instead of focusing on meaningful engagement. The secret sauce to social media success is authenticity, as people are more likely to connect and trust brands that are genuine.

Takeaways

  • Mistake #1: Content chaos - Posting sporadically without a plan leads to inconsistency and a lack of strategy, which turns off the audience.
  • Mistake #2: 'Me, me, me' message and mess - Constantly self-promoting without providing value to the audience leads to disengagement.
  • Mistake #3: Vanity metrics vortex - Focusing solely on likes, comments, and followers doesn't provide the whole picture of audience engagement.
  • The secret sauce to social media success is authenticity, as it builds trust and connection with the audience.

How Human Design Can Impact Productivity with Affiliate PR Agent Kaila O'Connor25 Aug 202300:23:31

Use affiliate marketing to scale your business. Host Michelle Thames and Kaila O'Connor discuss the benefits of affiliate marketing and why it's such an effective way for businesses to scale. They also discuss all things human design and how creators can leverage it to grow their businesses. 

Kaila has been called impulsive and told to “give it the 24 hour rule” her entire life — only to discover she is a 6/2 splenic projector with a soul’s purpose to instinctually move through life in a way that often shocks people. Shortly after discovering human design, Kaila founded KMO Consulting — an Affiliate PR agency that operates very differently with every decision guided by her and her team’s human design chart. 

Two years after starting KMO, Kaila understands the importance of how a person feels when they are doing the job. The feeling, the frequency is equally as important as the skill. Energy is the 50% that’s been missing from business strategies in the corporate industry. As an energetic business consultant, Kaila brings the energetic strategy piece using human design as a tool to articulate energy to CEOs and c-suite executives to ensure their employees feel happy, fulfilled, supported and productive.
