Earlier this week, we shared part one of this conversation, all about how to generate sales from your social media accounts. And it seems we hit a hot topic as y’all have been all up in my Instagram DMs!
Now, if you haven’t heard part one, go back and listen to that one first. But if you’re ready to continue on, let’s pick back up here with my conversation with Mike Yan as he simplifies how to generate sales from social media.
Here’s how.
Contents
We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:
- What’s changed with social media marketing nowadays, due to the pandemic or how people use social media now
- Why he believes that Instagram is the one to focus on and build right now
- He defines chat marketing (as in, focusing on DM messaging as a marketing approach)… and how to create a chat marketing strategy that will generate sales
- How to track the metrics to ensure your efforts are converting social media fans into paying clients
- …and ultimately, if you’re feeling like, “ugh… not another new thing to learn!” – here’s how to overcome any resistance to learning new technologies.
We are going strong with our new way of podcasting, splitting the weekly episode up into two parts… so we are going to keep it that way for now!
If you haven’t heard yet, we are releasing the first half now and part two on Friday this week. That way, the content is in a smaller, bite-size portion for you to listen to now, simmer on this entire week and be intentional with integrating what you learn into your everyday life.
We are simplifying our episodes to be shorter in length, easier to listen to, on-the-go.
I know we all are on-the-go these days and our old ways of listening to podcasts (either on our commute or at the gym) have changed since the pandemic began… let us know if you like this new way of listening to The Simplifiers Podcast. Shorter episodes, split into two for simpler learning.
It’s time to #DoTheThing!
