Here's a question that'll make your head spin: How do you train MLM recruits who have zero sales experience to actually sell instead of just posting on social media and hoping for the best? That's the question Andrew Osborne from Pittsburgh brought to me. Andrew works in direct selling and network marketing, specifically health and wellness nutrition supplements. Like most MLM leaders, he's frustrated watching new recruits default to the guru-approved strategy of posting on Instagram and waiting for the magic to happen. Spoiler alert: The magic never happens. If you're nodding your head right now, you're not alone. The "social media is the new cold calling" myth is one of the most damaging lies being sold to new direct sales representatives today, and it's costing MLM organizations their best potential talent. The Social Media Trap: When Easy Becomes Impossible Remember that story in Fanatical Prospecting where I went head-to-head with someone who swore their social media guru had all the answers? I said, "Great, you do yours for a week, I'll do mine for a week, and we'll test it out." Guess who won? Here's the brutal truth: Posting on social media feels easy because it lets you keep people at arm's length. You don't have to face rejection. You don't have to interrupt strangers. You don't have to have uncomfortable conversations. But here's what actually happens. After two months of posting videos that get one view each and zero sales, your recruits quit. They're demoralized, broke, and convinced MLM doesn't work. The real problem? They were never taught how to actually sell. Why MLM Sales Training Is Harder Than You Think When Andrew recruits someone into his network marketing organization, they're making two types of sales: selling the product and recruiting new team members. Most of these people have never sold anything in their lives. They came from every background imaginable except sales. Something happened in their life that made them say, "I want more." That motivation is critical, but motivation without skill is just frustration wrapped in hope. The things they need to do are really hard. Nothing in their life has prepared them for what sales prospecting actually requires. They have to sacrifice what they want now (ease and comfort) for what they want most (their goals). That's why the first question I ask every new recruit is this: What are your top five goals in the next twelve months? Not company goals. Not team goals. Their goals. Because if they don't want something bad enough to go through the pain of rejection, nothing else matters. The Only Formula That Actually Works In MLM, there's one simple formula that works every single time: Go talk with people. The more people you talk with, the more you recruit. The more product you sell. It's that simple. Think about it this way. If you had a marketing strategy that could create all your product sales and recruiting automatically, you wouldn't need an MLM. You'd just have an e-commerce business. The reason network marketing exists is because a network of people can spread the word and sell better than online ads. But here's the problem. Talking with people means getting past your discomfort. It means interrupting a stranger in line at Walmart. It means seeing someone at church who mentions financial problems and saying, "Hey, what if I had a way to help you out?" Most people would rather post on TikTok than have that conversation. What to Teach Your MLM Team If I'm building an MLM sales training program for recruits, here's exactly what I'm teaching them, in this order: First, teach them how to open conversations. Not pitches. Conversations. With strangers and with people they know. What's the first question they ask? How do they approach someone in line at Walmart? How do they bring up their network marketing business with friends without being weird? Run drills on this. Practice it until it becomes muscle memory.

In this episode, I talk about mottos. Those little slogans or mantras that can actually keep you going in a business that is often messy, unpredictable, and overwhelming. A motto is not just decoration. It's a tool. It helps you: Stay grounded when the industry feels chaotic. Filter choices and make better decisions. Communicate your identity and values quickly. Build momentum through small daily actions. I'll share a quick history of mottos, what makes a good one, and a few of my favorites like: Grow through every no Truth over performance Consistent action, creative life Bring light to every role But here's the most important part. A motto has to fuel action. It should connect to something small you can do each day. Even five minutes counts. That could be: Sending one outreach email Researching a casting director Tracking your auditions Posting or reposting content Reviewing your goals When you tie your motto to action, five minutes turns into seven, then ten, and before you know it, you've built momentum. So, here's my challenge for you: Pick a motto tonight. Don't overthink it. Write it down where you'll see it. Tomorrow, spend five minutes on one business task that matches your motto. Repeat. Momentum comes from consistency, not perfection. Your motto isn't just a phrase. It's a compass. Find the one that makes your chest expand a little when you say it out loud, and let it guide your next step. I'd love to hear what motto you come up with. You can always reach me at mandy@actingbusinessbootcamp.com, or say hi on TikTok @AstoriaRed.

Instagram just unveiled two features that could completely change how you engage with your content and your audience. On this episode, Emma unpacks the biggest social media shifts of October 2025, starting with Instagram's deceptively small pinned comments update, which has the potential to transform audience engagement and even drive conversions. She also breaks down Meta's push into AI-powered holiday ads, sharing why these tools can help streamline campaigns but still require a human touch to get the best results. Over on LinkedIn, fresh data reveals that posting frequency now plays a bigger role in reach than perfectly polished content – a shift that makes consistent visibility more achievable. And for the headline update? Instagram is testing a new Reels feature that could dramatically increase watch time and keep your brand front and center even when users multitask. As always, our monthly breakdown is here to help you turn these interesting advancements into powerful, actionable changes you can implement to stay ahead of the curve. Listen in as Emma explains: Creative ways to use pinned comments for context, engagement, and conversions Why you shouldn't stop running Meta ads on December 31st How LinkedIn frequency is now a bigger factor than post “perfection” And much, much more!

How to Simplify Your Social Media Marketing and Attract Inquiries (without posting everywhere) I recorded this right after Facebook awarded me an “Emerging Talent” badge — and it got me thinking about how to use social media in a way that actually works for therapists. In this episode, I share how I simplify my marketing, why I only focus on one platform, and the exact approach I use to consistently attract inquiries without spending hours online. If you're tired of creating endless Canva posts that don't convert, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air. This one is for women in private practice — counsellors, psychologists, social workers, accredited mental health social workers, and play therapists — who want a simpler, calmer approach to marketing that still brings in clients. I talk about niching (and how it makes content effortless), why Facebook often works better than Instagram for our field, and how to “show not tell” your expertise so potential clients feel connected and safe reaching out. You'll walk away knowing how to pick one platform, post less but connect more, and create trust through genuine conversations — not algorithms. I also talk about authenticity, karma, and why giving freely online actually leads to more aligned clients.

Seriously in Business: Brand + Design, Marketing and Business
You don't have to be on Instagram to grow a business, but if your people are there, it's a goldmine.

They hire the one who feels like home.You'll hear:The mindset shifts doulas need to actually book clients (without guilt or pressure).Why time and money objections are keeping you stuck—and how to flip them.Real wins from doulas inside Sell to Serve who went from frozen at the money talk to confidently booked out.And I'll be real with you: waiting until you feel “ready” isn't a business strategy.

In this week's episode of A Millennial Mind, we're talking about the hidden dangers of posting kids online, the reality of online predators, and why the usual rules around screen time and social media safety don't really apply to modern-day children anymore. Catherine shares what's actually happening to kids' brains when they grow up in a digital world, how predators think, and why parents often get protecting kids online completely wrong (without even realising it). It's not about fear or banning tech; it's about learning how to raise kids who can thrive both online and offline. And honestly, some of this blew my mind. Let me know what you think in the comments! ✨ What You'll Learn Why posting kids on social media isn't as safe as you think The real ways online predators target children What screen time does to the brain and mental health The dangers of social media that most parents ignore How to talk to your kids so they actually open up Tips to balance tech and real-world life without constant battles Why attachment and consent matter in digital parenting

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Is hiring one of the biggest challenges you've faced when it comes to running your agency? How do you sift through hundreds of applications when most don't even read the job description? Today's featured guest opens up about the realities of building a team, the role that gave him his time back, and why finding the right people, not unicorns, but the right fits can make or break an agency's growth. Dan Salganik is the managing partner and CEO of Visual Fizz, a Chicago-based digital full-service marketing agency. He spent years working at agencies of every size and learning of the many flaws in their operations: bloated overhead, work designed more to win awards than to serve clients, and inefficiencies everywhere. Instead of sticking it out, he decided to try something different. With the help of a co-founder he met online, he turned his freelance gig into an actual business. Within nine days of their first conversation, they had their first paying client. Once they were at three clients, they decided it was time to make it official and started Visual Fizz. In this episode, we'll discuss: The digital nomad myth. Hiring as the biggest challenge for agency success. The unicorn problem. Why the big guys should be worried.

Ready to design faster and smarter? Go to wix.com/studio to get started. Inspired to Create Something Better After Working With The Big Guys Dan's path into agency life started straight out of college, working at agencies as a project manager. He saw how the big guys worked and was frustrated by the waste. Expensive office space downtown, teams focused on portfolio-building instead of client results, and layers of inefficiency that didn't make sense to him. After a layoff, he started contracting and freelancing. After a while, he figured if he was already selling his time, why not build a team and sell more than just his own hours? Partnering with a co-founder who brought SEO and paid search chops, he launched Visual Fizz for just $50 and a “crappy logo.” The Digital Nomad Myth At first, Dan thought the digital nomad lifestyle was going to be the dream. He traveled through Asia, working out of hostels, hopping on 2 a.m. client calls from rooftop hotels, and running projects with a global team scattered across South Africa, Kuwait, and the U.S. It sounded cool on paper—but the reality was brutal. Trying to serve U.S. clients while living 12 hours ahead was a recipe for burnout. As he put it, “If you're traveling to Southeast Asia and trying to hit U.S. hours, you're in for a rude awakening.” Over time, he realized international travel had to shift into more realistic time zones if he wanted to scale the agency. From Scrappy Start to Scaling Smart Visual Fizz didn't take off by accident. From the beginning, Dan and his co-founder knew they wanted more than just a freelancing partnership. She had the technical expertise, he had the business and sales skills, and together they leaned into that divide. Their first clients came on at around $2,500/month retainers, which felt big at the time. But what really set them apart was their willingness to sell the agency model—not just themselves as individual contractors. Dan admits the early days were DIY to the extreme. He designed the first website, created the brand, and hustled every step of the way. But over time, they shifted from being “just two freelancers” into a legit business with structure, processes, and a growing client roster. Why Hiring is Always the Hardest Part Dan didn't hesitate when asked about the hardest part of running an agency: hiring. In a business where you're selling knowledge and time, having the right people is everything. And finding those people can be tough, especially for smaller agencies. Posting a single job ad often results in 700 to 1,500 applications—most of which are noise. Dan prefers entrepreneurial-minded hires over candidates with perfect credentials. He values people who can adapt, who want to learn, and who bring a cultural fit to the table. That's how he's built a team that can handle change in an industry that shifts constantly. Like most founders, Dan has had terrible interview experiences with candidates who applied mindlessly as soon as they saw an opening and didn't bother to read anything about the profile required. People were showing up to interviews while in their card eating, not even knowing the company's name, and clearly not having the skills required. If you've ever found yourself in this position, overwhelmed by resumes and constantly interviewing the wrong people, bury a hidden instruction in your job post, like requiring a candidate to send a video with a specific subject line to a private email. The people who follow directions prove they're serious. The rest self-select out, saving you hours of wasted interviews Tired of the fancy resumes and disastrous interviews, Dan has turned to his contractors. He's hired people who had contracted with the agency for years, which of course had the advantage of already understanding their capabilities and knowing they were up to the task. Furthermore, Dan considers himself to be very fiscally conservative when it comes to hiring, so he prefers working with the person until he feels he can comfortably hire them to be a full time team member. The Hire That Changed Everything For Dan, the biggest game-changer was bringing in a project manager who grew into a project lead. Having someone who could take ownership of processes, build out SOPs, and even tell him to log off at 6 p.m. gave him the space to focus on the bigger picture, strategy, branding, and biz dev. The right project manager isn't just checking boxes. They protect your time. They let you walk into client conversations clear-headed instead of stressed about whether a deliverable is behind. When they can run the team and operations, you can finally do the job of a CEO: winning new business and setting the direction of the agency. Stop Chasing Unicorn Hires What's the next hire on Dan's list? A hybrid between a campaign strategist and a creative marketing manager. Someone who can think strategically, get hands-on with campaigns, and still spot when an SEO report doesn't make sense to a client. Sounds great but also sounds like a unicorn. As most agency owners eventually learn: unicorn hires exist, but you can't build a hiring strategy around finding them. Instead, hire clearly defined roles—project managers who love execution, account managers who thrive on client leadership. When you stumble across someone who can flex across lanes, great. But don't make that the expectation. How to Train Your Team to Sell Naturally Dan's agency doesn't run with a traditional account manager structure. Their PMs double as client leads, which means Dan had to find a way to make sales training part of the culture without turning his team into pushy salespeople. The secret to this training is storytelling. Instead of saying, “Hey, we can upsell you,” his team learns to connect client comments with relevant success stories. If a client mentions running a content audit, a PM can naturally suggest looping in the SEO lead, not because they're chasing revenue but because they know it will help the client. Over time, this approach builds trust and positions the agency as a partner, not just a vendor. Positioning in a Shifting Market Dan has seen client expectations are moving “down a notch” lately. Big brands that once chased Ogilvy or Leo Burnett are now hunting for mid-sized partners. Those mid-sized companies are shifting to smaller shops. And boutique agencies like Visual Fizz are landing $100–500 million clients who want to be a top priority instead of client number 142 on a massive roster. It's the boutique hotel effect. Clients don't always want the 3,000-room resort. Sometimes they want the place where the staff knows their name, treats them like the biggest deal in the building, and still delivers world-class service. For smaller agencies, that's a huge opportunity to win the types of clients that used to feel out of reach. Why Lean Agencies Have the Edge The future isn't kind to bloated agencies. What used to take 100 people a few years ago could now be done with 40—or even 15. Large firms with huge overhead and outdated models will struggle unless they pivot, merge, or find a vertical niche. Meanwhile, smaller and mid-sized agencies that can move fast, price smart, and deliver with a lean team are better positioned than ever. As Dan put it, even Fortune 500 companies are asking, “Why should I pay $50k a month for SEO when I can get the same expertise at $8k?” Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

Discover the secrets behind building a content strategy that generates consistent, high-quality leads without burning out on endless posting. In this episode, the speaker shares his journey from running a gym to scaling an online fitness business, revealing how he shifted from chasing trends to creating a strategic content ecosystem that attracts, nurtures, and converts the right audience. You'll learn how to master messaging, structure your content cadence, and build a system that works even when algorithms change—so you can grow your influence, book more clients, and create transformation instead of just chasing attention.

Launch Your Box Podcast with Sarah Williams | Start, Launch, and Grow Your Subscription Box
Starting a product-based business, especially a subscription box, can feel overwhelming. There's so much to learn, so much to do, and so many voices telling you the “right” way to start. Building a strong, sustainable business doesn't come down to fancy strategies or big investments. It comes down to the small, steady habits you create from the very beginning. In this Friday Fuel episode of The Launch Your Box Podcast, I'm sharing the three habits I wish someone had told me about when I started my subscription box business. These habits don't cost a dime, but they'll help you build momentum, confidence, and subscribers. Habit #1: Consistency Over Perfection Perfection doesn't get you paid. Consistency does. Too many business owners wait until things are perfect before they show up. But your audience isn't looking for perfect. They're looking for YOU. Consistency means: Posting on social three times a week Sending that weekly email (even if you're not sure what to say) Talking about your product, even if no one seems to be listening yet Shipping your box on time, even if your insert card isn't exactly what you wanted When you show up consistently, people start paying attention. You learn faster. You build confidence. Done and shipped is always better than perfect and never launched. Talking about your product looks like: Behind-the-scenes footage while packing boxes Sharing customer reviews or unboxing stories Going live to show what's inside this month's box Reminding your audience when the waitlist or doors are open Take Action: Open your Instagram Stories and talk about your product today. Keep it casual. Keep it personal. It doesn't need to be perfect. Start by noticing: Which Instagram posts get the most engagement Which emails have the highest open or click rates How many people click on your waitlist link when you post it Tracking helps you stop wasting time on what's not working, and it shows you what to double down on. Something as simple as jotting notes in a Google Doc can completely change the way you grow. Take Action: Pick one thing to track this week. Maybe it's DM responses to a story, or clicks on a post. Write it down. You don't need to wait until you have it all figured out to get started. Build these habits now, and your future self will thank you. In this Friday Fuel episode of the Launch Your Box Podcast, I'm sharing three simple habits that will help you stop overthinking, start showing up with confidence, and build the foundation for a subscription box business that grows month after month.
