LCL12: How to Get Paid As a Content Creator

Creating content is already a challenge in itself, let alone monetizing it afterwards! But, if you love what you do and can collect some reward along the way, why not? In fact, when you work so hard to build up your online presence, it only makes sense for you to go ahead and monetize off of your influence.

So, in this episode, I will share with you what I learned at Summit Live and some ways in which you can GET PAID AS A CONTENT CREATOR. Look, this is perfect for anyone looking to learn how and where to find sponsorships from brands like Macy’s, for fashion bloggers who are looking to take their content creation to a whole new level, and, finally, for anyone who is interested in monetizing their social media channels as a content creator.

Social Vid Con 2016 is Coming to San Diego!

Social Vid Con 2016 is Coming to San Diego!

Stop what you’re doing and listen up – If you’ve ever wondered how you could use video to drive more traffic, leads and sales to your website, then I have great news for you.

Social Vid Con San Diego is happening on Friday, October 21st and it’s about all things social video: live streaming, under 60 seconds, no sound, creating, storytelling, measuring and analytics, advertising, choosing equipment, hiring an outside production team, and so much more. I’ll be there showing small business owners, entrepreneurs and agency folks on how they can use Facebook Live to get back the engagement we’ve all lost from Facebook’s frequent algorithm updates.

Did you know that Facebook updated its algorithm to give preference to LIVE video?

“Now that more and more people are watching Live videos, we are considering Live Videos as a new content type—different from normal videos—and learning how to rank them for people in News Feed,” wrote Facebook product managers Vibhi Kant and Jie Xu. “As a first step, we are making a small update to News Feed so that Facebook Live videos are more likely to appear higher in News Feed when those videos are actually live, compared to after they are no longer live.”

Wouldn’t now be a good time to start sharpening your video skills?

Now if you want to be left behind, go ahead and sit this conference out. But if you want to be on the cutting edge of what’s happening in the social media landscape, grab your ticket now because seats are limited.

 

Early bird tickets are only $177, so register before prices go up.

Facebook Verified Pages and Why You Should Verify Your Business Now

Facebook Verified Pages and Why You Should Verify Your Business Now

A part of my social media audit for new clients includes making sure that their business is verified on Facebook. Facebook Verified Pages come in the form of grey checkmark badges and are available for businesses with a physical location in the US, Canada, Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand.

Why is the Facebook Verified Pages badge so important?

First off, it lets Facebook users know that this is the official Facebook Page for your business. And should that user try to contact you via your Facebook Page, she can be confident in knowing that she’s reaching out to the right Page. You don’t want your customers to accidentally message a fake account would you?

More importantly, businesses with the Facebook verified badge show up higher in search results. Yes, you read that right! Your Facebook Business Page will show higher in search results when a user tries to search for your business on Facebook. That’s a huge plus in my book!

Facebook Verified Pages

So how do you get your Facebook Business Page verified?

That’s easy—stick with me and I’ll show you how.

Go to your Business Page ➡️ Settings ➡️ General ➡️ Page Verification

Enter the phone number associated with your business publicly, receive a phone call with your verification code, enter that code and you’re done!

Don’t have access to the phone number listed for your business? You can also verify by uploading an official document like a phone bill.

All you have to do is follow the steps above then click “Verify this Page with documents instead” at the bottom left of the window that appears then upload a picture of an official document showing your business’ name and address.

After you submit your verification code or business document, they’ll go ahead and review the info to confirm it matches public records. If everything is a-ok, you’ll receive a notification or an email regarding your status.

Hmm, that’s a whole different story.

Deep down, you want the connection because you never know if it might lead to a new business opportunity but you also want to avoid potential stalkers.
