Chris Ducker on Mastermind Communities and Personal Branding Fueling Business Growth – MPAF85

Running a small business or a one-man band can be lonely.

Without the support mechanisms that come from a corporate environment, you may miss the motivation of others or the accountability they bring.

In this episode, I talk to serial entrepreneur, Chris Ducker, and we chat about mastermind communities and how they can fill those motivational and accountability gaps.

Whilst running a number of large companies, Chris also built a strong personal brand of his own online. We discuss how personal branding combined with masterminds can catapult boost your business growth.

That’s all right here in episode 85 of the Marketing Protection and Finance Podcast.

Making the Complicated Simple – Live on the Jonathan Tripp Show

You may have seen my recent eBook – Business Writing Tips for Simpler Copy.

I wrote it as a response to all the bloated copy complicating business communications I see out there.

But it’s not just communications. Everything seems so complex now. Processes. Strategy. Planning. We pile layer upon layer of complexity on top of complexity. And Jonathan Tripp, host of a daily Marketing Show in the USA invited me on to talk about “Making the Complicated Simple”.

Find Related Hashtags Instantly Without Having to Experiment

Do you use hashtags in your social media posts?

Hashtags let you tag your posts with keywords, making them easier for social networks to organize and other users to search.

For example: #Marketing #Business #BusinessStrategy

So when you add a hashtag to a post or tweet, the social media immediately indexes the keyword so it’s searchable by other users. If someone clicks on that hashtag, they’ll find a page that lists all the posts with the same hashtagged keyword. If a keyword becomes popular it’s known as “trending.”

Including hashtags in your social media means more people can see your content and might follow or interact with you.

If you use one or two related hashtags you might find your “reach” extends even further. But it’s time-consuming searching and experimenting with related hashtags. Which is why I was delighted to find this invaluable resource.

http://hashtagify.me finds related hashtag keywords without having to experiment.

All you do enter in a keyword and the site will tell you the top ten related keywords. Then you can include the most related in your posts or tweets.

So now you can find related hashtags instantly. Give it a try. Add in a few related keywords (though don’t over do it and become a hashtag spammer) and see your social media interactions increase.
