Unlocking LinkedIn Success: The Power of Impressions02 Sep 202400:17:34

Are you pouring your heart and soul into creating content on LinkedIn, only to feel like it's not getting the attention it deserves? 😩

If so, it might be time to shift your focus to a crucial, yet often overlooked, metric: Impressions. But why do LinkedIn impressions matter more than likes, comments, or shares? 🤔 In our latest podcast episode, we pull back the curtain on LinkedIn's algorithm and explain why impressions are the lifeblood of your content strategy. Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll learn: 🎯 What Are LinkedIn Impressions? Think of impressions as the first step in your content’s journey. They represent the number of times your post appears on someone's feed. The more impressions, the greater your chances of reaching the right audience. 💡 Why Impressions Matter More Than You Think While engagement metrics like likes and comments are great, they can be misleading. Impressions tell the real story of how many people are actually seeing your content. Without a solid impression count, even the best posts can fall flat. 🔑 Strategies to Boost Your Impressions Learn actionable tips to increase your visibility on LinkedIn. From optimizing your posting times to crafting attention-grabbing headlines, we cover it all. Plus, discover how to turn those impressions into genuine engagements and valuable connections. Whether you’re a LinkedIn veteran or just starting out, this episode is packed with insights that will change the way you approach your content strategy. 🎙️ 👉 Ready to make every post count? Don’t miss out on this essential episode. Tune in now and start mastering LinkedIn like a pro!

The Benefit Of Growing Your Business Using Prizes, Giveaways, and Sweepstakes28 Sep 202300:31:10

Carolyn Wilman founded Imagination Edge Inc.* in 1994 as a small-business marketing consulting firm.  She created On-Demand and Relief Marketing services allowing small companies to obtain the experience and personalized services of a professional marketer without the financial commitment of a marketing department or adding additional full-time staff.


To date, her Online Contesting System has helped others win over $1,000,000 in cash and prizes. The 2nd Edition, How To Win Cash, Cars, Trips & More! was published in 2016. The 3rd Edition: Prizes, Prizes, Everywhere! will be published in 2021.


In keeping with her objective of teaching others how to have fun, From the Contest Queen is a blog about all things contesting, sweepstaking, lucky & fun, along with her tips, tricks, news, and rants on the hobby.  Additionally, Carolyn runs seminars and webinars: How to Win Cash, Cars, Trips … & More! and Attracting Luck for hundreds of people annually.


From 2005 until 2011, Carolyn produced The Winning EDGE, a free e-newsletter that included contesting stories, tips, tricks, and links to new contests.  From 2008 until 2010, Carolyn hosted an online radio show, With The Contest Queen, interviewing the movers and shakers in the promotional industry and sweepstaking community. Both were revamped and relaunched in 2013, with The Winning EDGE being sent out bi-weekly and With The Contest Queen only broadcasting special podcasts.  (NOTE: Archives for both the newsletter and radio show can be found online.)


After being a featured speaker at numerous promotional events and U.S. sweepstaking conventions, she formed Canada’s first contesting clubs.  Once several clubs had been firmly established, Carolyn co-founded the Canadian Contestors Association, which ran the Canadian Contestors Convention in 2007. Carolyn, her volunteer team, and the convention were filmed by the CBC for a Doc Zone documentary and written about in Reader’s Digest, both released in 2008. She is currently a lead volunteer for SweepsCon 2017, to be held in Orange County, CA, in July.


In 2013 Carolyn embarked on her first U.S. Tour.  The “Secrets to Winning” Sweepstakes Tour took her through 17 states, hosting workshops in 12 cities and teaching “sweepers” How To Use RoboForm Effectively along with How to Win on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest by giving away over $6000 in prizes over the course of 4 weeks.


In 2019 Carolyn decided to big up a gauntlet that was given to her in 2008. She bought the rights to all of Helene Hadsell’s work. After being out of print for over 30 years, the first book to be updated and re-published was Contesting: The Name It & Claim It GameIn Contact With Other Realms and Confessions of an 83-Year-Old Sage were re-published shortly after. Her final book, a work of fiction, A Man Called Friday, will be re-published in 2023.


Her efforts as a marketing expert landed her on the cover of Marketing Magazine in 2006; she was named by MORE Magazine as one of Canada’s Top 40 Women over 40 in 2007 and was featured in the premiere episode of High Stakes Sweepers on TLC in 2011.


Carolyn was nominated in 2006, 2008, and 2009 for the RBC Canadian Woman Entrepreneur of the Year and in 2006 for Entrepreneur of the Year with the Whitby Chamber of Commerce.

How Does A Pro Wrestler Become A Successful Legal Document Prep Business Owner21 Sep 202300:27:15

About Mark:

I am a Florida native, who enjoys adventure, growing tropical fruit and adding value to the lives of others. I worked in critical care for 15 years. I dabbled in pro wrestling for a season, learning under Steve Kerr at Florida Championship Wrestling.


2019 I quit my nursing job to start our own unique legal services business: Noble Notary & Legal Document Preparers and digital download site (ladybirddeed.net) that offers ladybird deed preparation. Which continues to thrive and grow. In 2022 alongside my wife of 15 year wrote the book "A Golden Pen" about our business model which is low overhead, low inventory, high demand, and high mark-up.


We released a follow up book at the end of January 2023 about remote online notarization called "A Digital Pen" as well as run Noble Notary Signing Service Agency, and extension of our legal document service that hires mobile notaries across the state of Florida.


We began coaching aspiring entrepreneurs to replicate our methods, eventually creating a course called Notary Prosperity Academy. We place an emphasis on letting profits drive you into new growth and expansion by adding additional "side-hustle" services to your business plan.


I have been on several interviews with popular YouTube influencers, live radio, podcasts like The Chris Voss Show, and more... telling our story and offering business advice and encouragement on my own social medial channels & podcast as well.


As a Christian, I want to enrich the lives of as many others as I can by encouraging people to grow with consistency and by taking actionable steps, even if they are just baby steps!

Nancy and I have a truthful and honest discussion about "why you should go with what you know" in business.


If you want to be an "expert" and a great coach/leader, you don't need to know "all the things", but you should know what needs to be done to move the needle for someone else, but that truly starts with helping yourself first.


Gain the knowledge, get the results for yourself, and take it to the marketplace to help others do the same thing.

3 Ways To Stop The Spam Messages On LinkedIn14 Aug 202300:12:52

It has become abundantly clear that many business professionals and entrepreneurs have lost their way.

The 4 Main Ways To Get Blocked/Restricted On LinkedIn24 Jul 202300:10:58

When spending time on any social media platform, it is so important to "play by the rules", but we know how that goes....


There will always be "rule breakers", but what I will say is that if you break certain rules on LinkedIn, you can not only land in "LinkedIn Jail", but you could have your account permanently deleted.


Here are the 4 main ways to get blocked/restricted on LinkedIn:

Triumph Over Tragedy 15 Aug 202400:24:58

Jonathan's journey took a dramatic turn after the sudden passing of his mother just before his 21st birthday, followed by the heartbreaking loss of three close friends and a traumatic experience of sexual assault during a casting as an adult.


These events triggered a downward spiral spanning over a decade, marked by battles with alcohol and drug addiction, panic disorder, anxiety, and depression, impacting every facet of his life from jobs to relationships.

What Content Gets The Best Organic Engagement On LinkedIn10 Jul 202300:15:56

Of the types of content you can create on LinkedIn, each one produces a different result regarding engagement.
That is because we have different networks and connections that engage with different kinds of content.


From what I have found, there are 3 types of content that consistently get the most organic and meaningful engagement on LinkedIn, and therefore, you should be producing this type of content too:


1. LinkedIn Newsletters
2. LinkedIn Live Video
3. LinkedIn Polls

Why It's So Important To Have A Podcast06 Jul 202300:24:18

Phyllis Nicols:

"Audio content makes it easier than ever to share your story, gain trust and connect with those who are looking for you and your products/services.
I help clients (B2B primarily) create effective audio content (and repurpose with video, blogs, and images) that serves their tribe. Podcasts, audio training courses, Alexa flash briefings and soon audio feedback are part of the services at SoundAdvice.
We handle the technology so you can focus on creating meaningful content. We'll help you map out a content strategy and content plan that brings in sales, grows a loyal client base, and raises the profile of your business.
Content is the voice of Strategy. That's a John Jantsch quote that is as relevant today as it was the first time I heard it.
Marketing evolves and changes but there is one constant; meaningful connections matter. All consumers want good information delivered in a way that's easy to find, easy to consume, and relevant to their needs.
If audio content is on your to-do list, let's connect. You can reach me at pnichols@soundadvicesales.com"

The Reason Why Entrepreneurs Fail03 Jul 202300:29:59

In this episode, Nancy and I dive deeply into the biggest reason why entrepreneurs are failing in the businesses they want to grow and scale. It's not an AI problem. It's not a funnel problem. It's not an email list problem. It's not a lead magnet problem. It's an application problem. If you don't apply what you are being taught or what you are learning, how do you ever plan to succeed?


Here are 3 tips on how to move past analysis paralysis and get into action:


1. take a breath/digest and apply

2. Focus and apply

3. Have a plan- and apply

What Exactly Is A Fractional CFO29 Jun 202300:38:22

Staci Millard

"Over the last decade, I have helped hundreds of businesses understand their numbers and increase their profits. These people and businesses became my friends and my community.

Knowing it was families’ hard-earned money being invested, I was pulled to focus on making ALL the pieces fit together and less on financial statements and taxes. As a small business owner myself, I had a deep and intimate understanding of their struggles. I knew exactly what it meant if they stayed stuck on the treadmill, overworked, underpaid, and feeling like they have no control.

More importantly, I also know how freeing it could be if they were to overcome the invisible things that were holding them back, regaining control of their time and money, and freeing them up to experience all the joys in life.

With that on my heart, I went all in with my time and energy, committing to shifting that small business statistic from failure to success!

I give business owners simple tools to gain control and understand their whole business. With perspective, they can shift from keeping their business alive to helping it thrive.

When I’m not busy connecting with small businesses, you can find me with the other half of my heart - my family. I have two beautiful little girls and the most helpful husband. We enjoy camping or being in outdoors. I practice yoga and I love chasing the sunshine. No matter where we are, you will also find a stack of books just waiting for me to dive into them."

Aby Blum Sudds is a Business Systems Coach and Online Business Manager, who designs time-saving business operation systems for visionary entrepreneurs who need their businesses to work around all the #lifestuff, instead of getting derailed by it. With years of firsthand experience designing bespoke business operations systems and project plans, Aby specializes in helping overwhelmed entrepreneurs simplify and systematize the many moving pieces involved in running a business.

Aby has been creating spreadsheets and making lists for fun since she was a kid. After she had a child and developed multiple chronic illnesses that kept her from working outside the home, she began working with online business owners, helping to organize and systematize their businesses for greater productivity.

Today, she serves business owners through private coaching, and her systems programs: Profit by Numbers™, 30-Min Metrics™, and The A.B.Y. Method. As a neurodivergent entrepreneur living with multiple chronic illnesses, Aby’s mission is to help simplify and systematize running a business for folks like her, so that they can build something for themselves, and share their gifts with the world.

This got me thinking about some other ways to show your personality on LinkedIn in regard to your profile and content.


Here are my top 3 ways to bring out your personality on LinkedIn without the use of emojis:
