A big part of making money online is taking money online, and that requires an e-commerce solution – whether it’s a simple buy button, a shopping cart, or a full-blown online store. But there are hundreds of those available, so which one should you choose? Well, every business is different, but a few things apply to everyone who’s trying to get paid… Your digital shopping cart should: accept multiple forms of payment, work with both digital and physical products, and easily scale as you make more products to sell and sell more of what you make. Bonus points if the cart is affordable and integrates with your website👍🏿 In this episode #51, we talk about some popular digital shopping carts and highlight a solution that does all of that and more! Listen in to learn: the difference between a single item buy button and a full blown shopping cart that allows for you to purchase multiple items at a time, how WooCommerce can get expensive even though it’s free, why PayPal should never be your only payment option, why physical products are a bigger deal these days, and how to stand out from the crowd with your next #virtualevent. ————— #thedbapodcast #Marketingcoach #Brandindaccelerator #Podcast #Podsofcolor #inboundmarketing #digitalmarketingstrategy #smallbusinessmarketing #digitalmarketing #brandmarketing #personalbranding #socialmediamarketingtips #digitalmarketingtips #branding101 #marketingguru #smallbusinessmarketing #facebookmarketing #webmarketing #onlinemarketingtips #prcoach #instamarketing #brandingaccelerator #brandingsuperstaru #contentmarketing #podcasts #digitalbusinessaccelerstor #blackbusinessowner #blackspeakersnetwork https://www.instagram.com/p/CEs2J89MFNx/?igshid=iexpd1qo0xpf

Have you noticed the shift that’s been happening? Because of the pandemic – and thanks to smartphones and fast internet access – more and more of our interaction is happening online (although it’s been like that for a while now, you just can’t ignore it anymore – it’s a way of life). This pandemic has been a boon for some businesses and created fresh opportunities for others, even as it’s wrecked entire industries. If you take a close look, you’ll see that the people who are thriving and surviving are the ones who have gone digital. Here’s the truth: Whether you have a digital business, a brick-and-mortar business, a regular job, or have retired to the beach, you have to take some part in our world’s digital transformation or you’re going to get left behind. It’s time to pivot, change, level up, transform, adapt, and lean in with the right mindset and a strategy for moving forward. Check out this episode #50 for stories about people who successfully pivoted their businesses to thrive and survive despite the pandemic, the key to keeping up and leveling up in our digital age, what digital is all about when it comes to business, when to hire someone versus learn how to do it yourself, book launch ideas for the pandemic era, the very first thing you need to do if you’re going to have an internet-based business … and more! If you’re ready to discover the next move for your digital transformation, schedule a Private Deep Dive Session with us, and we’ll help you get on the right track for your specific situation. #thedbapodcast #podcastersofinstagram #positivevibes #podsincolor #podcast #digitalbusiness #digitalbranding #digitalpr #readysetgo #speakers #blackspeakers #business #entrepreneur #businessowner #motivation #entrepreneurship #smallbusiness #success #entrepreneurlife #marketing #womeninbusiness #prcoach🎬 #entrepreneurs #businesstips #businesscoach https://www.instagram.com/p/CES0u13st2q/?igshid=91fkmzz0armk

If your business is dependent on Facebook groups, we’re here to tell you that: 1) you’ve built your business out of straw, and 2) it’s just waiting for the Big Bad Wolf to come blow it down. We’re not trying to hurt anyone’s feelings, but we’ve heard true stories about businesses brought to a halt when a Facebook account is suspended, and we’ve experienced what it’s like to have content removed or an account blocked. It’s alarming and confusing, and there’s no number you can call for help! It can take months to unblock your account so you can get things back on track. Do you really want your income dependent on a platform like that? Of course not! So, listen in to our episode #49 and take note while we trade true stories, including someone whose Facebook account was suspended for a full year, someone who pulled their multimillion-dollar business off of Facebook and built their own thing, and our own situations (and frustrations!) when we supposedly violated a social media platform’s policies. You’ll also hear about what digital business was like before social media, what business was like before the digital era, how launching a digital business is like opening a restaurant, and four alternatives to Facebook group communities (including 2 you can host yourself for complete control). It’s important to start out right with your digital business, or you’ll be stacking one mistake on top of another. Schedule a Private Deep Dive Session with us, and we’ll help you get off on the good foot.🎧 podcast #publicity #thedbapodcast #prcoach #digitalbranding #digitalmarketing #Amazon #socialmediamarketing #womensupportingwomen #onlinebusiness #digitalbusiness #entrepreneurshiptips #onlinecourses #GravityForms #speakersofinstagram #Authorpreneurs #MemberPress #publicspeaker #ThriveArchitect #WordPress #speakersmagazine #brandingaccelerator #podsincolor #pamperry (at National Speakers Association) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD2otw-sDBY/?igshid=xew194spwd4

I always say, “Before you sell something, you’ve got to say something,” and you need to be crystal clear on who your audience is and what they want if you’re going to find sweet success. We mention your target audience in just about every episode because it drives your whole business. What you sell, what you say, and where and how you say it – they all depend on who you’re talking to. When you know who you’re selling to, it’s easier to attract them with solutions, ideas, and advice that are a perfect fit – and it’s easier to find them and connect with them, too. If you’ve already leaped into action for August, we encourage you to slow down, back up, and think things through. Take time to listen to and observe your audience, notice what they want, and reflect on your experiences to uncover your “secret sauce” – the thing that only you can do especially for them. In this episode #18, listen in for key questions to focus your business planning for the remainder of the year, why you need to let your prospects and leads hear your heart, our simple formula for success, why it’s essential to have a business coach, and other ideas for getting and staying focused this quarter. 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧 #linkinbio👆 #podcast #thedbapodcast #prcoach #digitalbranding #digitalmarketing #Amazon #socialmediamarketing #womensupportingwomen #onlinebusiness #digitalbusiness #entrepreneurshiptips #spiritualawakening #masterclass #IngramSpark #LeadPages #Authorpreneurs #success #publicspeaker #WordPress #speakersmagazine #brandingaccelerator #podsincolor https://www.instagram.com/p/CDcclh4pF45/?igshid=4i01m9v50ryu

Your knowledge and expertise can be worth a fortune IF you know how to package and market them, and you know precisely who you want to market them to.

If your business doesn’t have many (or any!) sales or clients, that’s definitely a challenge, and the issue is probably in your marketing – and it may also be your mindset. 😳 In this episode #45, we continue with last week’s topic by addressing more of your marketing issues and concerns. We have technical suggestions and strategic corrections as always, and we also dig into the fears that are holding you back.👩🏾‍💻 We heard from folks who are afraid of failure and also a few who are afraid of success. Either way, it’s a fear of moving forward, and we have straightforward suggestions for managing both. Folks also had concerns about marketing budgets, which brought us to ask more questions and offer practical answers about business start-up money, both where to get it and where to spend it. So, if you want to bring in more business, listen in for: how to handle the fears that are holding you back, what a prima ballerina can teach you about confidence, where to find clarity about your ideal customer, whether or not you need to hire a #publicist, why media people are deleting your emails, and your entire digital marketing plan boiled down to one sentence … and more! ..... #podcast #thedbapodcast #prcoach #digitalbranding #digitalmarketing #Amazon #socialmediamarketing #womensupportingwomen #onlinebusiness #digitalbusiness #entrepreneurshiptips #ClickFunnels #IngramSpark #LeadPages #Authorpreneurs #publicspeaker #WordPress #speakersmagazine #brandingaccelerator #podsincolor https://www.instagram.com/p/CCznexQMIiY/?igshid=1rc8wu7q8m6ep
