    They Call it Organic Growth or Is it Really Social Media Bots

    Explicit

    *****Please Tell Just 1 Friend About Our Podcast. We Really Appreciate the Support***** It is sometimes astounding when you see some of the number of "followers" some businesses and entities can have on social media nowadays. Hell, even some single person in the world can have 75 million followers, and you have to think that is a lot of people. Most of the time those examples just mentioned have marketing budgets and marketing teams behind them to help accomplish those goals. Everything is basically a popularity contest and how can you prove popularity on social media? Followers, subscribers, likes, and shares are what they use to give quantitative value to popularity and audience reach through their perspective platforms. The problem is that there are plenty of ways to "inflate" all these numbers on social media. Has anyone gotten this email or direct message? "I'll promote your podcast through social media pages like as ( Tw*******, Fa*******, Li******, or Go*****) and help you get more downloads and more subscribers in the iTu**** store. You will start to see results in your analytics. You will start to see results in your analytics almost instantly. From there your podcast/business will continue to grow and grow. I can do this for $500 USD monthly. Ready to start now?" This sounds too good to be true, but you sign up. For two months you see exponential growth and the first month after you have let it go, BAM back to reality. So, what did you really pay for? Tune in to this episode and see did you/them pay for the social media bots!!!! #algorithmbots #socialmediabots #socialmediamarketing #paidads #adsspin #followers #likes #subscribers #shares #repost #reshare #fakestats #views

    We Call it Job Hopping They Call it Climbing the Corporate Ladder

    *****Do us a favor and please tell 1 friend about our podcast. Thank you as always for your support. ***** If it doesn't make dollars, then it doesn't make cents. lol We all have bills to pay, money to be made, and goals to conquer in our lives. The one way those all happen is by earning the money you need as an employee or making the money you need as a business owner. I will us myself as an example and let everyone know, I am all about making as much money as I can to help provide for my family. So yes, I have not been at the same job for forever as some people may have thought. I average about 3 years with a company and thing I usually find greater pastures to explore. The old days of spending 20-30 years working for the same company are few and far between now. That is for a few reasons: corporate greed, the invention of the internet, and the change in the type of workers who are doing the jobs now. Loyalty has been replaced with hunger for adventure, thirst for more money, and the dissipation of not fearing the unknown. With African Americans still only being in corporate America about 60 years we have now gotten a better understanding about the "game" that is played around us. Why spend 10 years at a company with minimal increase in pay or status, when you can search for a better job (preferably while you have one). Once you find your better job, then you leave that old job behind you. It is ok to say I have worked for 3 different companies in the last 10 years. If you get questioned about it in an interview, your response is, " I found a better job or a better opportunity to support myself or my family". Don't feel bad either because other people call it climbing the corporate ladder but some of us may look at it a job hopping. Tune in to this episode to see if you are the one who is trying to climb the corporate ladder. #climbingthecorprateladder #jobhopping #jobhistory #workhistory #salary #wagescale #raises #401K #retirementfunds #corporatefilings #coporateamerica #jobsearching #jobtitles #qualifications #collegegraduate #collegedegrees

    You Deserve the Same Standard Business Practices as Everyone Else

    Explicit

    *****Please Leave Us A 5* Review on Your Favorite Podcast Player***** Business owners have a due diligence to perform standard business practices. The practices can be defined as practices that must be followed while working for an organization. We are using this to piggyback off of our episode of Using Other People's Money. Financial institutions or financial lenders have a standard way of conducting business and small business owners are entitled to be treated fairly and properly throughout the process of looking into borrowing money. The business practices we refer to are the methods, procedures, rules, or tactics that a company follows in pursuit in its objectives to provide information of what their lending process or processes include. It is imperative that especially minority small business owners like us demand we get the same treatment as those larger companies get from lenders. There should not be in hidden agendas, hidden rules, or pitfalls not made away to the potential borrower from the beginning of the lending process. We have been encountering some issues with our loan officer from our financial lender and we have demanded that we get the same treatment as other real estate investment customers. Tune in to this episode to see how we are holding them accountable to the standards of business set forth by the business areas they deal with on a daily basis. #fianciallending #businessloans #standardbusinesspractices #smallbusinessloans #predatorylending #businessminset #businesssavy #businessplan #businesstips #understandingbusiness
