Getting LinkedIn with Jennifer Corcoran

 

I’d like to introduce you to Jennifer Corcoran, a LinkedIn expert who I connected with through, yes, you guessed it! After we both won awards through Enterprise Nation’s Top 50 Advisers awards, Jennifer reached out, connected, and we got chatting. Following this, I completed one of Jennifer’s courses, learnt lots, and wanted to share.

On this week’s episode, Jennifer lifts the lid on this fabulous platform. We talk about how she found the platform to start with, why she decided to focus here out of all the platforms available, favourite parts, profiles vs pages, highs and lows, and some great tips from Jennifer that will help you make positive changes to your profile today. Enjoy!

Too many voices… how to cut through the noise to grow and thrive

rhea freeman equestrian social media

This episode’s working title was simply ‘the voices’ because that seemed the best description!

Too many voices… how to cut through the noise to grow and thrive

 

Over the last year particularly, there have been a LOT of free challenges, webinars, courses, downloads, you name it, promoted online. Have you noticed? And, often, these are created by people you don’t know and have never met (but you fall into their ads audience online).

This can be great as it can help you to discover people who have skills you don’t that you can learn from. But what happens when there are too many people offering these amazing things and you start to feel a bit overwhelmed? Maybe you’ve even signed up or downloaded some (all!) of these free resources, and instead of you feeling empowered and educated, you feel paralysed because you’re more confused than ever and don’t know what to do for fear of doing everything wrong?

Yeah- that’s what the voices can do to you! And on this week’s podcast, I’m talking all about them, how to find the right ones to listen to, why it’s really important to silence the others… and how you’re already pretty damn fabulous as you are- you’re simply improving on what you have!

Honesty is the best policy, with Flo Carter Eventing

Flo Carter Eventing

You know when you get an email at 9.28pm and you need to reply instantly? Well, that was how this podcast with the lovely, honest, and fun Flo Carter aka @flocartereventing came to be.

Honesty is the best policy, with Flo Carter Eventing


Flo has been a supporter of the podcast for a good while now, but it was one particularly episode that spurred her into action, the one all about how to pitch to be on a podcast. And my goodness me, the email was a masterclass.

As per the podcast, Flo ticked all the boxes, and shared why she felt that you lovely lot would like to hear from her. I agreed wholeheartedly with what she said, I wanted to hear everything about the journey.

Flo is a 19 year old event rider who, at the end of a disappointing 2019 season decided to turn to social media, to find others with similar experiences. But she couldn’t. She’d found a gap in the market for higher level equestrians to share their very honest take on the highs and lows of the sport.

In 2020, Flo decided that her social media accounts would lead the way.

In the space of just 12 short months, Flo’s social media quadrupled with over 25k Instagram followers and over 10k monthly views on YouTube.

In this podcast, Flo shares her journey to this place, but also what it’s like to have a social media account that explodes, what it’s like to work with brands, how she works with the algorithm, and so much else.

It’s a great episode- thank you so much Flo for reaching out!

How to use Instagram Guides

How to use Instagram Guides

Have you seen Guides on Instagram? This relatively new feature provides a way for users of the platform to organise and group together content by whatever theme or idea they like.

 

How to use Instagram Guides

In this podcast, you’ll learn all about the three different types of Guides you can create through Instagram, pick up some ideas about how you might be able to use them on your account, and how they can help content live for longer on the platform.

What are the three types of Guide (available at time of publishing, obviously!)

Places – great if you want to great a guide that collates information connected to a specific place. Maybe it’s a guide around great places to visit close to where your shop is based? Maybe you’re showing people your favourite places to hang out in your local area? Or how about great places to eat, drink and sleep close to events and venues?

Products – if you have a shop, this is a no brainer, but also, if you’re a brand ambassador, this is great too. If the brand you’re working with has an Instagram Shop, you’re available to share items from their Shop on your Guide. This could also work if you’re just a keen fan of a number of brands – you don’t need to be formally connected to them to make it work!

Posts– this is the one I use the most. When you make a Guide of your posts, you’re grouping your own posts together in specific categories so people can browse these posts without having to search through your entire feed. It’s a good way to pull out things that are really important to you as a brand or influencer.

I hope you enjoy this episode. If you have a few moments and would consider rating and reviewing this podcast, I’d be hugely grateful!

Bags, bees and being bespoke with James Marshall from Will Bees Bespoke

James Marshall Will Bees Bespoke

Will Bees Bespoke is a well known British brand, based in Salcombe, whose beautiful bags are eye catching, easy to use, and have bespoke touches to make them extra special too.

Bags, bees and being bespoke with James Marshall from Will Bees Bespoke


On this episode, I chat to James Marshall, co-owner of Will Bees Bespoke, about growing brands, social media, the future, and so much more.

We discuss the transition between shows and the Salcombe shop to online, working with influencers, USPs, and a stunning new, exclusive collection that has the loveliest story behind it.

You’ll hear all about this incredible exclusive collection in the podcast, but just to whet your appetite a little, the stunning fabric designed used was created by a very talented lady called Emma Mawston. Emma was previously the head of design at Liberty Art Fabrics, so has a lot of form when it comes to amazing designs, but this project is something else and extra special to Will Bees Bespoke. To create these designs, Emma visited sites across Devon and Cornwall (so, very much in Will Bees Bespoke’s part if the UK) and drew bee friendly flowers to create a fab, exclusive design that keep bees at the heart of it all.

As you’d expect, there’s a great story behind the brand, a muddy low, soaring highs, a discussion about what’s to come from this fab brand, a lot of dogs(!), and some great tips for people starting out and wanting to grow a too.

How to pitch yourself to be on a podcast…

be on a podcast

Have you ever wanted to be a guest on a podcast? Or have you ever wondered how a podcast host decides who to have on the show, and who to say ‘no thank you’ to? Well, I am about to lift the lid on it… because I think, as with so many things, it’s useful to see it from both sides of the fence.

How to pitch to get on a podcast (and how NOT to pitch to get on a podcast!)

 

You might be surprised to learn that I have a LOT of requests from people to be on this very podcast here. And the vast majority of the time, the ‘pitches’ come from people who I’ve never heard of or interacted with before. And I can’t think of one of those people I have said yes to. It’s so important, always, to think of develop a relationship with these people, even in a small way, before you pitch to be on their podcast. Because to you, it might be a place you want to be featured, but to them it’s cost them time, money and a lot of energy to develop their podcast into something that gets those downloads, gets those reviews, and keeps its audience coming back week after week.

On this podcast, I share why that is, how to improve your chances of making the cut if you decide to pitch to be on anyone’s podcast, and some things that I always look for (and rarely see) when it comes to podcast pitches that I receive…

As always, if you tune in, please do screenshot and share to Stories. And if you’d like an extra gold star, I would LOVE it if you’d consider leaving a review. Thank you!

What 2020 has taught me…

What I learnt in 2020

I didn’t know how to end 2020, because it’s been a crazy year, hasn’t it? How do you end a year where we’ve had a global pandemic, had restrictions that we would have never imagined, and now get panicky if anyone gets within 2m of us?! Or is the last one just me?


But, with reframing front of mind, I wanted to talk about the lessons that 2020 has taught me. Because I have learnt A LOT. Some of it was surprising, some of it reinforcing, but I hope that all of the things I’ve learnt will be useful to you too.

And I also want to say, as we end this year, that even though we have all endured some very dark times, and there are no doubt challenging times ahead, there has also been some positives to come out of 2020. A huge number of small businesses have been founded in 2020 (yes, some from necessity, but still), what’s important (and I mean REALLY important) has been brought into sharp focus, the fact that we have all got through 2020 and found a new level of resilience we didn’t know we had, that we have incredible people- doctors, nurses, scientists and more who are amazing and on our side, and that geographical limits no longer apply thanks to Zoom and more.

So here’s to you 2020 – well, more here’s to the lessons you’ve taught rather than everything you’ve brought to the party.
