Whether you have streaming services with auto-renewal, or multiple small add-ons to programs, you could be paying a lot more than you realize.  Nick Wolny, Managing Editor with CNET, says Spring is a great time to review every subscription you have and get rid of ones you don't use very much or didn't realize the prices increased. Nick also says it is so much easier to buy things.  It only takes a swipe of a phone or a tap of a credit card and it doesn't hurt as much as when you write a check or pay with cash.  Not paying close attention to all your swipes and taps can cost you a fortune in a very short time frame.

After weeks of anticipating a government shutdown, the House and Senate were able to avert it — passing a last-minute spending bill that funds the government until November 17th. However, questions remain about whether lawmakers can reach a consensus on next year's spending by this deadline, especially as several hardliners in Washington strongly disagree on Ukraine funding. With the shutdown out of the way for now, House Republicans are focusing on their impeachment inquiry into President Biden. A hearing was held last Thursday…with Republicans saying they have evidence to back an impeachment. Democrats said no, they don't. On the Rundown, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) discusses how House Republicans plan to act wisely so a government shutdown is not a threat come November 17th. He also explains why there is talk of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's leadership role being in jeopardy despite his success in avoiding a shutdown and how House Republicans are “following the facts” as they investigate the President. Federal student loan repayments resume this month for millions of Americans after being paused during the COVID-19 pandemic. After the three-year-long pause, many borrowers fear that they won't be able to make their monthly payments due to high inflation and an elevated cost of living. Earlier this year, President Joe Biden announced a year-long grace period waving the penalties for missed payments as a way to ease the burden. Senior Editor for CNET Money, Nick Wolny, joins the Rundown to break down the benefits of the Biden administration's SAVE Plan, how people are relying too much on their credit cards, and what you can do to avoid common student loan-related scams.

Would having an article in a big outlet that was written by you give you credibility and clout?

8 Simple Steps to Catapult Your Business on Instagram (feat. Nicka Wolny)The power of Instagram in promoting your business is huge. Many people will find you on Instagram because a majority of people use their mobile phones. Instagram grew up on mobile phones, so the ubiquity of mobile phones gives you the opportunity to share your content with potential customers. Why would someone use a platform like Instagram for business? Isn't it for adolescent selfie-taking kids showing off their locations? Instagram has grown into much more than just selfies and photo sharing. The average business owner on Instagram stands to join thousands of businesses who are promoting products and services. More than 40 percent of all U.S. companies with more than 100 employees are utilizing Instagram. According to Hootsuite engagement on Instagram is 10 times higher than Facebook and 54 times higher than Pinterest and 84 times higher than Twitter. Steps to Building Your Business on Instagram 1.       Know Your Audience2.       Great Content3.       Focus on You4.       Have a Consistent Theme5.       Post Regularly6.       Use Live Streaming7.       Optimize with Hashtags8.       Promote Your IG ProfileKnow Your AudienceKnowing your audience is paramount in establishing a niche and pinpointing your market's needs. If you are a carpet cleaning business you will want to ask yourself, what type of carpet cleaning will you focus on? Will you be doing commercial, residential? If you are doing commercial are you going to be doing buildings, theaters, small businesses? If you are doing residential, will you be doing small houses, large houses, houses with pets, mobile homes, local or statewide? The more specific you can get the better your chances for success and the easier it will be to build or scale your business.Great ContentKnow the content you want to produce and try to make it look and sound as good as possible. The better the content the more likely people will find you credible and worth looking at. Your decision to use colors, filters, images, or videos is up to you. If you create something, make sure that it coincides with your audience. Take your time when producing content. Sometimes the more thought out content tends to be the best. Be reasonable with how much time you want to put into your content and if you find that there is some benefit to taking more time than others that do what makes the most sense. Consider your resources and utilize them to the best of your abilities. Focus on YouMany businesses will look at others and try to copy them. They are worried that they don't have enough followers, and how is it that they have so many and we don't. What are they doing that we are not doing and how can we do what they are doing? Focus on you and your business. Keep producing great content that works for your business and does not worry so much about what others are doing. If you remain consistent with your content you will start to see changes in your following and maybe even featured on others. Have A Consistent ThemeOnce you have your profile set up and you are working on your content you want to make sure that your content is consistent. Your theme could be anything from headshots to consulting but keep the theme the same. Do not start talking about headshots and detract with how the government doesn't do enough. Keeping the theme consistent corroborates your expertise in your niche market. Post RegularlyNow that you have your audience, great content focused on your business, and a great theme, you want to maintain regular posts. This will keep your profile fresh and lets people who are following you know that you are not only consistent with your posts but with your business as well. There can be situations where followers will leave if there isn't consistent content.Use Live StreamingUsing live streaming usually puts you at the top of the list and allows for people who are not following you to view your feed. This is similar to Facebook Live and YouTube Live. Instagram Live allows you to interact with your audience to help with branding and finding potential clients. With just over 700 million users, this is an opportunity to engage with followers and meet people from around the world. Optimize Your Post with HashtagsWhat are hashtags? Hashtags are what Instagram uses to hone in on your industry. So if you are a photographer, you can use #photography to find new clients or showcase your work. You can get even more specific by using the hashtag #headshotphotography or #headshotphoto. These niche hashtags allow the business to niche their hashtags for the right audience. Location hashtags are important as well. Let us say you are in a city or town where you want to showcase your work. Using a hashtag that represents your town or city may provide opportunities to find new clients or be discovered. This also falls in line with events, or holidays. Use https://all-hashtag.com/ to find some great hashtags to use in promoting your business.Promote Your Instagram ProfilePromoting your Instagram profile is important because it gives you additional visibility. Whether you are paying for it or just adding them to your business cards, giving people the opportunity to stay in content with you is a powerful tool when selling or promoting your products or service. There approximately 15 million business profiles on Instagram and advertising on Instagram is an option for companies that can afford it. This often helps your business grow in exposure and generate traffic to your website. Just to give you some perspective, approximately 60 percent of people discover new products and 75 percent take action after being inspired by a post.

In this guest interview, I had the opportunity to connect with Nick Wolny, a successful content marketer and freelance writer about how he pivoted from an education in classical music (he has two music degrees!) to his now successful content marketing business. Why a Portfolio is Better than a Resume Nick believes strongly in putting what your passionate about out in the world and letting the work show for itself. Creating an online portfolio has allowed him to create a network for himself, where as he tells in the interview, has led to many job opportunities where he has never even had to apply first for the job!  How He Discovered Digital Marketing and It Opened Up a Whole World of Opportunity Nick found himself in position where he loved learning about digital marketing and content creation – but not only did he love it, he was able to apply those strategies to lead businesses to a higher ROI. Nick niched his consulting business by helping business owners discover new prospect opportunities through email and as they say the rest is history.  His Thoughts on Copywriting vs. Content Writing These two different types of writing are often confused one for the other.  Copywriting is oriented to sales and the job of each sentence in your copy is to get the reader to the next sentence. Content writing on the other hand is educating people on why their problem is a problem and why they should seek a solution.  How Music Taught Him to Be a Better Writer Having two degrees in classical music, might seem to some to have been a waste of time, but Nick attributes that to actually making him a better writer because it gave him a writing system that he can apply to each project: 1. Writing Fundamentals 2. Writing Repertoire 3. Write to Have Fun How to Build Your Online Footprint and Pitch Publications Nick believes in the ladder approach to building your digital footprint and this strategy has led him be featured in Entrepreneur and other huge media publications.  Start with smaller guest posts and outreach and build upon each successful pitch that then will lead to bigger publications and opportunities. When approaching editors, Nick advises first building a relationship with them and then offering to help them. It’s also wise to think of each rejection as building your prospecting ‘muscle’, it is a numbers game and don’t take it too personally if an editor brushes off your pitch.  Lastly, Nick gives these two pieces of advice to new writers: 1. Find your footing 2.

We are all in this together and while we may not be perfect, that doesn't mean we can't hone our skills and strive to reach our fullest potential. “Different is better than better.” - Ryan Lee Nick Wolny is the perfect example of a raw and unfiltered professional. He's learned that what grabs people's attention is not the heights of success he can reach but rather, it's his unique voice and story that draws them in. He learned from Ryan Lee that the best way to stand out in a crowded field is to let your freak flag fly and showcase what makes you unique. Discover how this insightful lesson can apply to your life as Nick dives deep on this exciting episode, you don't want to miss it! Ready, fire, aim - summon the courage to put imperfect work out there. You've heard the saying that “Practice makes perfect,” right? While that is absolutely true, the reality is too often we get locked into the idea that we need to put our best foot forward that we never leave the house! While you should absolutely hone your craft - part of that process is being bold enough to put yourself and your work out there to learn as you go. I know that sounds scary but it really can work, Nick Wolny is the perfect example! He was so hell-bent on perfection and excellence in his work that it paralyzed him with fear of failure. Once he was able to fully embrace a practice-based approach, Nick realized that in order to put out great content you have to put out some crappy content along the way. This allowed Nick to make the shift from “Ready, aim, fire!” to “Ready, fire, aim.” Since adopting this change, Nick has seen a profound impact not only on the quality of his work but in his enjoyment of his work as well. Learn more about Nick's approach and how removing the need for perfection has breathed new life into his creativity by listening to this engaging episode! Don't do what you love, pursue what you are! The common mantra in our society today is to follow your heart/passion and do what you LOVE. Is that the best advice? Should you really trust your instincts and listen to the desires of your heart? What if there was a better way to tap into your unique skills and abilities that didn't' rely on fleeting passions and desires? According to Nick Wolny, doing what you love is bunk. The better option is to pursue who you are, that may sound all “Woo, woo” but if you think about it, it really does make sense. If you embrace this idea that you need to let your freak flag fly and showcase your unique voice, then mining the depths of who you are to bring that to the world makes sense. The truth is, our passions and desires change and morph over time, but if you've committed to put down the mask and let your personality be your unique offering to the world and marketplace, you'll always have a clear path before you. Don't shackle yourself to a limited and narrow vision for your future, let the REAL you be the asset you build your life and business around! Hear more about what it takes to discover real you by learning from Nick's eye-opening journey on this powerful episode!

On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Nick Wolny joins me to discuss Facebook ads. Nick Wolny helps small business owners and online entrepreneurs leverage Facebook advertising, Facebook live, and content marketing to attract more clients and make more revenue. His passion for the health industry comes from a personal transformation, having lost 105 pounds and keeping it off for 14 years. Nick has been featured with SUCCESS Magazine, Yahoo!, LeadPages, the Houston Chronicle, Ramit Sethi’s I Will Teach You To Be Rich, and VICE. He studied classical music at Rice University. In this episode, we discuss: -Facebook ads and what they can do for your business -How to maximize the effectiveness of a boosted post through ad manager and your subscriber list -Different ways to target and reach warm traffic, cold traffic and the look-a-like audience -How to know when it’s time to outsource your advertising responsibilities -And so much more!   The ubiquitous and consistent use of Facebook worldwide provides you an incredible platform to promote your content to an ideal audience. Nick reassures, “The people that need your help, that need your product, program or service, it’s a very, very high probability that they are on Facebook.”   Nick recommends targeting ads to your current subscribers first and foremost, because he has found that, “Cold traffic is the hardest sandbox to play in.”   Images have historically dominated social media, but Facebook has publically stated their intention to move towards video content and even prioritize Facebook live. Nick recommends, “Whenever possible you should use video.”   Crafting advertising content that strikes a balance between connecting with people and promoting your product can be difficult. In Nick’s experience, “The ads that do best are the ads that feel like regular posts.”   For more information on Nick: Nick Wolny helps small business owners and online entrepreneurs leverage Facebook advertising, Facebook live, and content marketing to attract more clients and make more revenue.

Art of Paid Traffic listener, Nick Wolny, joins me on the show today for a Facebook ads case study. Nick helps boutique fitness and yoga studios in the Houston, Texas area and he’s been using what he learns from the podcast here to get some incredible results for his clients. Today we dive in and break down two campaigns: One where he generated $15,000 in class sales on a Facebook ads spend of just $50 and another campaign that brought in over $58,000 in revenue with a spend of just $330. He reveals the strategies he used for each of these campaigns and how he’s been able to successfully grow his Facebook ads business. Nick also talks about how he gets his clients, how he’s charging for his services and what exactly he’s helping them accomplish in their local markets. Nick’s success is a result of his having a great mindset.  Not just because he listens to the podcast and implements, but he learns and doesn’t stop there -- he takes action. And, he’s just one example of living proof that what we talk about on the show works ;) . On the Show Today You’ll Learn: The strategy he used to generate $15,000 in class sales on a Facebook ads spend of just $50 He he then repeated that success, but even bigger, bringing in over $58,000 in revenue with a Facebook ads spend of just $330. The significant gaps that Nick has noticed local business owners are facing as they scale to multiple locations What the relationship with his typical client looks like What Nick’s clients really want and how he knows he’s doing his job well How he’s niching down to his ideal client and why this should feel uncomfortable to do Why Nick isn’t working with brand new businesses and those under a certain threshold for monthly revenue The ways he’s been able to use Facebook Live videos in his client’s launches – and why everything doesn’t have to be sophisticated and “perfect” to work! Coming up in the next episode, you’ll hear an interview with a local business owner who’s here in San Diego, and he shares how he’s been burned a few times by local marketers promising amazing results (at a cost of thousands of dollars). He opens up about how he’d like to be approached by somebody to locally market his business, and how he’d like to work with that person. Excited to share that one with you as I interviewed him on the fly in his business.

Join Anna K. as she interviews guests weekly about what makes them GLOW...inside and out!  Every Friday, 10am EST. Nick Wolny loves generating and planning creative solutions, which is why he pursued classical music performance at Rice University and with mentors of Juilliard. That said, something was missing in his music career. He found empowering people face-to-face (and encouraging interaction) more satisfying than performing from a stage. So he took a break, pursued teaching yoga, and built out the community relations program in Houston for grassroots-focused retailer lululemon athletica. Nick teaches a mindful, intentional vinyasa designed to elicit depth and self-inquiry in your practice. He recently founded philanthropyLIVE, a set of consulting services designed to help people with big ideas commingle for charity. For more information, check out www.philanthropylive.com.
