{E62} Facebook Graph Search, Insights and What Really Matters with Jackie Johnstone

This week I chat with fellow digital strategist and Canadian, Jackie Johnstone and we dig into Facebook graph search, the pain and reality of Facebook engagement and what you should really be paying attention to.
We also discuss social media ‘addiction’ and how to manage your time better online.

Key Takeaways:

  • Facebook isn’t out to get you- they’re just trying to make the best user experience for everyone..your content needs to be good!
  • Set your settings to US English to use Facebook Graph search (and make sure to use your Profile)
  • Find more groups by doing a graph search “Groups of People Who Like ____”
  • Pick 3 to 5 groups to join and spend time listening and observing how things workThe best online marketing strategy is to show up and provide value. People will find you.
  • Pay it forward Friday: answer questions for your community
  • It’s not helpful to have people who aren’t your ideal client to like your Facebook page since they won’t engage
  • Make sure your profile is linked to your business page so people can find you!!

{E56} Uplevel your business with a mastermind

This week’s episode I talk all about masterminds: what they are, why you should join them and how they can help you move your business forward.

I first heard about masterminds back in 2011 when I first read Napolean Hill’s book, “How To Think And Grow Rich“. I didn’t know exactly what they were but I had a feeling that they were important and something I needed in my business.

Key Takeaways:

  • How masterminds can help you get unstuck in your business and move forward.
  • The importance of surrounding yourself with entrepreneurs who have been there/done that.
  • Why you should create a mastermind group if you can’t find one online.
