They now offer cleaning services to homeowners with solar panels to help save money, maximize energy, and protect their warranties.

How can entrepreneurs leverage YouTube to grow their brand and business? Creating valuable content consistently and building a community are key. It takes time and effort, but can pay off significantly.Rich shares insights from his journey growing a YouTube channel to over 250,000 subscribers. He emphasizes the importance of creating quality content regularly, even if it takes time to see results. Building a community through email lists, Facebook groups, or Discord is crucial for nurturing relationships with viewers. Monetization can come later through products, courses, or brand deals once you've provided consistent value. Rich advises studying the platform, iterating on content, and being patient as it likely won't happen overnight. Overall, YouTube can be a powerful tool for entrepreneurs to grow their brand and business if approached strategically and with a long-term mindset.------------Where to find Rich:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HustleNinjasInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/rich_khunEtsy Training: https://6steps.marketplacemastermind.com/optin1699454877305 ------------EVERBEE WEBSITE: https://everbee.io/ EVERBEE BLOG: https://everbee.io/etsy-seller-blog/ EVERBEE YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@helloeverbee EVERBEE TIKTOK: tiktok.com/@everbee.io?lang=enEVERBEE INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/everbee.io/ JOIN OUR COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/416630082921388

Featured Event: Dec 3 West Knox County Gathering, Email Kerry for address and directions  Sponsor 1: FreeSteading.com Sponsor 2: Strong Roots Resources Livestream Schedule Monday at 4pm Central: My Interview with The Rural Report with Debut on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAAGcUEPzik  Tuesday, 12:30: Live with Evan Dixon of Radio Made Easy and John Willis of Special Operations Equipment. Friday, 9:30am: Homestead Happenings  Tales from the Prepper Pantry Processed 6 roosters for freezer camp (hand plucked them) Went to smoke our bacon and it turns out there is only 3lbs cured so I will be doing a series on curing bacon as we cure the rest of the bellies Been shopping at the grocery store for fresh veggies even though we usually do not do this “Shepherd's Pie” and “Stroganoff” to use up winter squash Hoping to find wild mushrooms this week Basing meals on odds and ends Weekly Shopping Report from Joe We made our usual three stops today. Dollar Tree was first. Though there is still a good variety there, the plastics area is again beginning to be depleted. We wanted a new trashcan for the bathroom, and we may have gotten the last one of its type. The coolers remain in decent shape for quantity and variety, but they're still not putting any energy drinks in them. Oh well; in this weather, room temperature is okay. I saw the first cloth face-diaper I've seen in quite a while on a woman in here. Home Depot was next, as I wanted a couple of things for a car toolbag. They have some "Black Friday" stuff out, so it might be worth a look. A 2x4x8 is still $3.18. They have good stocks of alkaline batteries, but still few lithium other than a normal amount of coin cells and CR123. I saw some deals on Ryobi and Milwaukee tool batteries as well. Aldi was last. We found everything we wanted, including my preferred 70% chocolate. Staple prices were: eggs: $1.23 (decent increase; I hear the parasites have forced the slaughter of millions more birds); milk: $3.02; heavy cream: $4.69; OJ: $3.19; butter: $2.99; bacon: $4.49; potatoes: $3.49; flour: $1.99; sugar: $3.09; 80% lean ground beef: $4.19. Untainted (i.e. no ethanol) regular gasoline remains at $3.899 per gallon. Frugality Tip from Will Last fall a friend of mine was processing turkeys for thanksgiving and she was overwhelmed and it was taking her far longer than expected. So she sent out a request for help. Having processed hundreds of birds I went over and helped get caught up. When we were done she asked "What do I owe you?" I pointed at her amazing garlic bed she has been growing for years and said a few of those. Well this fall I just planted bulbs I grew this year from that garlic. Not only did this help a fellow homesteader, but I now have a strain of garlic that I know grows here and it cost me nothing. As a bonus being 30 minutes apart if something ever happens to either of our garlic beds we can always help each other get restarted. Operation Independence Holler Repair Project on 2023, an update: Hearth being built this week for woodstove. No more electrical heaters! Main topic of the Show: People often as WHY - WHY should I go to an event? It costs so much. Poultry Processing with Joel If you missed this class, you made a huge mistake  Intro was amazing Always something new to learn - I am rewriting my processing book as a result of this class Took the fear out of the process Met a local farmer who is growing chickens that rival Polyface ones: Hoff the Grid Homestead We got praise third hand from Joel saying it was one of the best run classes SRF Best Team Ever! Things went so smoothly Every. Single. Talk. changed someone's life.

Things are taking their own shape: eg the onsite interview thing that happens, the nightly campfire TSP 1st time ever: no speech, just MCing Family Reunion and new people Do less Steven Reisner's session on growing plants Network of big brothers at a time when things are hard for me = healing Make it a great week!

Mark Webster, an entrepreneur with a flair for outdoor lighting and security, is here to unravel the story of how he transformed a simple idea into a thriving business, specializing in garden lights and sensors installation. Let's dive into the highlights of Mark's entrepreneurial adventure: Step 1: Identifying a Local Opportunity Mark kickstarted his journey by delving into local market research, gaining insights into homeowners' desires and preferences. This research unveiled a notable demand for elevating outdoor spaces while enhancing security.

Ultimately, he honed in on the idea of garden lights and sensors, recognizing their dual functionality in providing aesthetics and security. Step 3: Market Research Extensive market research became Mark's compass, validating his business concept. He analyzed the competition, identified his target customers, and remained attuned to the dynamic landscape of outdoor lighting and smart home technology trends. Step 4: Refining the Concept To stay ahead of the curve, Mark decided to offer a diversified range of outdoor lighting solutions, incorporating smart sensors and eco-friendly options. This strategic choice attracted environmentally conscious consumers. Step 5: Business Plan Development Mark constructed a comprehensive business plan that encompassed key elements such as well-defined goals, target market segmentation, a robust marketing strategy, financial projections, operational blueprints, and legal compliance considerations. Step 6: Testing and Prototyping Before the official launch, Mark opted for a pragmatic approach by conducting tests and prototypes with friends and family. Their valuable feedback allowed him to fine-tune his installation processes. Step 7: Marketing and Launch With a solid business plan in hand, Mark confidently launched his venture. He executed a dynamic marketing strategy encompassing both online and offline channels to connect with potential customers effectively. T o supercharge your marketing efforts, Mark suggests a selection of viral hashtags: #GardenLightingMagic #OutdoorSensors #BrightenYourNights #SmartGardens #SecureHaven #GreenThumbTech In conclusion, Mark's entrepreneurial journey is a testament to the power of identifying local opportunities and developing a well-thought-out plan.

Does this sound familiar? You've been told to cast a wide net and target everyone in order to maximize your business potential. But guess what?

And here's the good news... it's never too late! Isn't it time to end your endless search for new clients and "niche down" so you call the BEST FIT clients to you? Join Susan and her special guest Todd Howard, Founder of Grow a Niche Business as they discuss a proven framework for anyone to identify their niche easily.

What would you do if you had to pick yourself up from your bootstraps and start over again in business, all on your own? Ben Albert was in that position — and he's today's guest on TDM, talking with host Mark de Grasse about how he built a new marketing business using the podcast model. Ben is now the owner and founder of Real Business Connections, a marketing business involving podcasting. He found himself furloughed during the pandemic, and so he reached out to his high school alumni on LinkedIn and invited them onto his show. He grew an audience and a list of impressive testimonials, as well as providing himself with a salary, in one short year. His journey into the business of podcasting is a simple story about doing the work and being humble when you're doing it. And, if you do want a smart ‘cheat,' start local, and then grow from there. And when you look back and realize that you've done it all on your own, remember that no, you didn't in fact make the bootstraps, and there's a pool of knowledge always there for you to continue to tap into. Real Business Connections is Ben Albert's business – and the name of his podcast. He interviews executives, entrepreneurs, convicts, behavior scientists, sales trainers, wellness experts, and more.Ben believes it's his role to extract the best nibbles of wisdom from these experts so he can compress decades of wisdom into minutes for his listener.Key Takeaways:02:58 The benefits of local focus for podcasting and content creation04:40 Finding a Rochester business podcast niche06:00 Doing the work as a marketer when you're just getting started09:20 Why focusing locally is the easiest cheat you can do13:06 The benefits of a controlled environment (your podcast space)15:47 Ben's technique for collecting testimonials21:44 When to ask a guest for a review25:10 Are you really doing it on your own?27:53 How the Five Frameworks can help you30:30 Fun and fulfillment as core valuesConnect with Ben Albert:Website - https://realbusinessconnections.com/Be sure to subscribe to the podcast at: https://www.digitalmarketer.com/podcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/digitalmarketerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/digitalmarketer/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/digital-marketer/This Month's Sponsors:Conversion Fanatics - Conversion Rate Optimization AgencyGet 50% Off Monthly Blog Writing Service - BKA Content More Resources from Scalable[Free Guide & Assessment] 7 Levels of ScaleFREE EPIC Challenge More Shows You'll LovePerpetual Traffic - The #1 podcast for learning paid traffic and improving your...
