ℹ️ IntroductionOn this episode of Frugalpreneur, we dive into the world of business strategy with our guest, Kendra. Kendra emphasizes the importance of avoiding distractions and unnecessary tools in business. Instead, she believes in focusing on the basic foundations of successful business. One of the foundations she highlights is email marketing, which she views as a cost-effective way to reach a large audience and build relationships. Kendra argues that email marketing is more effective than fighting with algorithms or trying to be flashy. In fact, she mentions that successful businesses all have email lists and see it as a strong marketing strategy.To help our listeners get started with email marketing, Kendra shares that there is a free email marketing starter kit available. This kit provides guidance on how to start and grow an email list. The first part focuses on the technical setup, while the second part explains how to attract people to join the list using a lead magnet. The third part dives into building connections and creating effective email sequences. Kendra believes that this free guide can help establish an email marketing foundation for any business.But how did Kendra become an entrepreneur in the first place? Surprisingly, she did not initially intend to start her own business. She followed the traditional path of becoming a teacher after graduating college. However, after experiencing burnout and restlessness, Kendra started exploring photography as a hobby, which eventually turned into a side business. She fell in love with building a business, marketing, and seeing the puzzle pieces fall into place.While growing her business, Kendra found creative ways to make things work without spending a lot of money. She built connections with a videographer and collaborated on various projects, offering her services in exchange for a video trailer to advertise her business. She emphasized the importance of building connections in various industries and helping each other out. She even worked with local businesses, sometimes offering discounts or favors due to friendships, just to make things happen.Throughout her journey, Kendra developed a mindset of determination and finding a way instead of making excuses. She viewed failures as opportunities for learning and did not consider them as true failures. This attitude fueled her success in both teaching and entrepreneurship. Kendra shared her experiences and advice on managing finances, avoiding distractions, and staying focused on goals when resources are limited. She emphasized the need to stay on track, even when social media tempts us with other people's success stories and product offerings.When reflecting on her own business journey, Kendra realized that her biggest failure was not investing in the education side of her business quickly enough. She regretted spending money on things that didn't actually help her business and wished she had started earlier to see growth sooner. However, her biggest success came when she started investing in learning and education, knowing that it would greatly benefit her business.Join us on this episode of Frugalpreneur as Kendra shares her insights on building a business on a budget, the importance of knowing your numbers, and the power of staying focused on your goals. Whether you're a budding entrepreneur or looking to take your business to the next level, Kendra's story will inspire and motivate you to embrace a frugal yet determined mindset.❇️ Key topics and bullets- Importance of avoiding distractions and unnecessary tools in business - Focusing on the basic foundations of successful business- Email marketing as a cost-effective way to reach a large audience and build relationships - More effective than fighting with algorithms or trying to be flashy - Successful businesses have email lists as

"You're either a creator or a consumer." This is what Kendra Swalls said toward the end of our conversation about Instagram, and it's really stuck with me since we first spoke. Before you even begin thinking about what to write on Instagram posts (which, yes, is the point of this episode), let's talk about that dichotomy for a moment. The entire reason I hosted this enormous social media series on the podcast was because I wanted my audience to think about how they use social media in their business. There may be platforms where you are more of a consumer—or a voyeur even. And that's totally fine. But if you want to use social media as a marketing asset, you need to step out of the consumer role and into the shoes of a creator. And this episode will help you do just that. In this episode of Talk Copy to Me, Kendra Swalls shares her social media knowledge and delivers big time. We talk all about what to write on Instagram posts, reels, and stories, and how to grow a community on the platform. ______________________________________________ Read the show notes and view the full transcript here: https://erinollila.com/what-to-write-on-instagram-posts-kendra-swalls/ ______________________________________________ Meet our guest expert, Kendra Swalls Kendra is a mom of 2, photographer and educator.

Are you ready for today's podcast?! This topic is asked among my students often. We're talking about how leveraging socials to grow your biz can be done! I've got special guest Kendra Swalls and who is an EXPERT when it comes to social media. She's a business and marketing coach with https://girlmeansbusiness.com/ (Girl Means Business). As moms, business owners and all the things in between I know social media can fall to the back burner, but that doesn't mean there isn't value in social media. Why Social Media is NecessarySocial media acts as proof to your business. We all use it to some extent. When you're searching for a new dentist, daycare or pediatrician you examine them online before ever stepping foot inside. Social media is the first impression. People aren't just looking at websites anymore, they're looking to social media to give a glimpse inside the day to day workings of a business. Depending on who your audience is really determines which platform(s) should be your emphasis. When it comes to the amount of interaction - it's best to be consistent. Be reliable and something people can count on. Find a way to be consistent with your own schedule. Do what works for you so you aren't facing burnout a month from now. Utilize social media to be sustainable! You Don't Need to be EverywhereTrack your return on investment. This isn't just monetary investment, but time! As photographers Instagram is such a go to because it truly is an online portfolio. Take the time to do a little research about your own business. When clients find you, where did they find you? You'll be surprised to see which platform is benefitting your business. It can help you make better choices on where you're investing your time. A great way to hear from your clients is by using a Client Questionnaire. This can give you a pulse on your audience. Here's the golden rule: Be where your current and future clients are. Biggest Tip for Utilizing Social MediaGet very clear on your intention of what you expect to get out of social media. Too many times people go in blindly thinking if they post a promo they will automatically fill all their dates. Rather, go into social media to build awareness around my brand. Maybe funnel people back to an email list or just build connections with people. You can leverage socials to grow your biz, but through a different perspective. People don't go to social media to book a session right away. They go to be entertained, inspired or educated. Appeal to Your AudienceIf you're a family photographer, you're not trying to appeal to the dad of the kids, you're appealing to the mom. She's the one who is going to be booking the session. She's the one who's doing the research. Next address questions and concerns your audience has. What are some frequently asked questions? Using a photo caption to educate your audience is leveraging your socials to grow your photography biz!  Lastly, remember to engage with your audience. This doesn't just mean commenting on your own posts and responses. You should be going to other feeds, group, etc. and engaging. Don't "post and ghost"! You do need to give a little engagement to get a little engagement.

As promised, I've brought on an expert on all things email marketing. Kendra Swalls is a mom of two, photographer and educator to help women get out of survival mode and into success mode, very similar to me! I feel like you're going to jive with her so well. In 2012 Kendra started her photography business, Paisley Layne Photography, and that changed everything. What started as a hobby alongside her teaching career quickly turned into a successful business, and in 2017 she left her teaching career behind to run her photography business full time. So in addition to photography, she now helps women, like you, take their business from survival mode to success-mode using the same relationship marketing strategies that have been the foundations for her business success. Email marketing gets overshadowed because it's not as shiny or flashy as social media and you can't see how many subscribers you have on your email list like you can see followers on Instagram. But the potential to build relationships and make sales, turn emails into customers is way more powerful. That is just a fraction of the gold in this episode all about why email marketing is still relevant for your business!

Chances are that if you're building a business (or even THINKING about building a business) you've done this ideal client exercise before. And yet, I know how frustrating it can be to feel like you've done your homework, know what she watches on TV, can explain in detail what she eats for breakfast, and yet still feel like you're zero steps closer to actually GETTING that ideal client. That's why today we're discussing the mindset shift that is going to help you understand how to use this ideal client exercise in a way that actually GETS you clients and cash. We talk about how to narrow down who your person even is, get clear on how to connect with them in a way that gets them excited to buy, and let go of the fear that marketing more directly to your ideal clients is going to hurt your business or eliminate potential clients. If you're ready to shift your mindset and attract (and convert!) more clients who are excited to work with you, this episode is for you!Check out the full show notes for this episode here: https://amandajoyceweber.com/one-simple-shift-all-episodes/166-kendra-swallsBook your free Sincere Sales coaching call here: https://amandajoyceweber.com/sinceresales See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I recorded this episode a few months ago with Kendra Swalls for her 'Girl Means Business' podcast. Kendra is a mompreneur, photographer and educator who started her podcast (and the 'Girl Means Business' brand) to help women build their own life-changing businesses. Kendra launched her own membership program twice and failed, so she wanted to know what she did wrong, what she could do differently and what the foundation pieces should be for launching a successful membership. Although this interview has already been published by Kendra, I wanted to share it here as I thought it would be a useful way of giving you ideas and hope for creating your own membership schemes. We talk about launching membership programs and the problems she encountered when launching her own scheme. Thanks to Kendra for being so open in sharing the issues she faced.

Hello there gorgeous! Today I'm joined by the wonderful, Kendra Swalls. Kendra is a former elementary school teacher turned photographer and entrepreneur who is helping women let go of the notion that perfection equals success. Her first business was a portrait photography business based in the Dallas area, Paisley Layne Photography, that specialized in helping women feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. She is now the founder of the Girl Means Business business education site and podcast, and is on a mission to help women not only launch their dream business but to show them all of the marketing and social media tips and tools she's learned on her own journey.

In this episode, we have Kendra Swalls who is an elementary teacher turned photographer slash entrepreneur. She advocates for women not to aim for perfection as it doesn't necessarily mean success. Her childhood dream of becoming a teacher was a success. She worked as a full-time 2nd Grade teacher and spent about 5 to 6 years in this field. She took her Master's degrees but felt like something is still missing. It was a perfect job but there's something nagging her. So she started her photography business in Dallas, specializing in bringing out confidence in front of the camera. It was a "Jump first, learn later." kind of business strategy, therefore, allowing her to see everything including the ups and downs of starting a business. It was when her precious daughter came that she decided to leave her teaching job and focus on her photography business full-time. Through time she found herself doing blogs, mentoring women, and even starting a podcast. She started her Girl Means Business podcast last 2019 and now has 77 episodes to date. She was big in email marketing as she believes that it is more of a personal approach to engage with your clients.
