    2026/04/28

    Send us Fan Mail

    Your Instagram page might be costing you clients — and you don't even know it.

    In this episode, I sit down with Houston business consultant Mia Anderson for a live social media audit. We go through her page in real time — her bio, her content, her links, her highlights — and I break down exactly what's working, what's not, and how to fix it.

    If you're a service-based business owner and you've ever wondered why people are landing on your page but not reaching out, this episode is going to hit different.

    Here's what we cover:

    • Why your bio is too vague and how to get crystal clear on what you actually sell
    • The SEO trick most people miss in their Instagram name field
    • How to write a bio so clear a first grader can understand what you do
    • Why your link in bio needs a direction — not just a link
    • Why B-roll without context isn't converting and how to fix it
    • The social proof strategy that makes people pull the trigger on booking you
    • How to repurpose content you've already captured instead of starting from scratch

    Send us Fan Mail

    If you've ever boosted a post and wondered why nothing happened — this episode is for you.

    I sat down with Meta Ads strategist Jana Bishop for a full breakdown on how to actually use Meta ads as a small business owner. Jana has spent over a million dollars of her own money learning ads, has 17,000 students in her programs, and she breaks it ALL the way down — no fluff, no gatekeeping.

    Here's what we cover:

    • The real difference between boosting a post and running ads through Meta Ads Manager
    • The Meta Pixel — what it is and why you need it set up NOW, even if you're not ready to run ads yet
    • The best type of content that performs well as an ad
    • Which campaign objective to start with and why awareness is still queen
    • Realistic ad spend for beginners — and when you're actually ready to run a sales campaign
    • The most common mistakes people make that waste their ad budget

    If you've been sleeping on ads or too intimidated to start — this is your sign.

    Send us Fan Mail

    Q1 is DONE. And I'm not letting it pass without breaking it all the way down.

    In this episode of The Side Hustler Podcast, I'm doing a full Q1 debrief — the wins, the losses, the strategies that worked, and the ones I need to let go of. No fluff, just real talk about what actually happened and what I'm building on going into Q2.

    Here's what we're getting into:

    • A full breakdown of my Q1 goals — what I hit and what I missed
    • The strategies that actually moved the needle (and the ones that didn't)
    • My game plan for Q2 and how I'm approaching it differently
    • The launch of my new offer — the Content to Client Framework — and what that's going to look like

    If you're a side hustler trying to build something real, this episode is for you. Let's get into it.

    2026/03/31

    Send us Fan Mail

    If you’re tired of constantly chasing new clients, this conversation is going to shift something for you.

    In this episode, I’m talking with Kenniqua Lewter — client experience systems strategist and HoneyBook expert — about how service providers can turn one-time clients into repeat bookings and referrals without burning out.

    We break down the biggest mistakes business owners make with client experience, why offboarding is where most people lose repeat revenue, and the simple upgrades you can implement this week to make your client process feel more professional, personal, and unforgettable.

    If you want more repeat clients, better testimonials, and referrals that don’t require you to “post harder,” press play.

  • 64. How to Use LinkedIn to Get Clients in 2026
    2026/03/24

    Send us Fan Mail

    LinkedIn is one of the most overlooked platforms for service providers — and honestly, I get why. If you’re used to Instagram, LinkedIn can feel “corporate” and confusing.

    So I brought on LinkedIn specialist Molly Godfrey to break down how to actually use LinkedIn for lead generation in a way that feels strategic, simple, and sustainable.

    We talk about how to use your existing network (especially if you have a corporate background), how often to post, what content performs best, how to optimize your profile for conversions, and why relationship-building matters more on LinkedIn than gimmicks and hacks.

    If you’re a side hustler or service provider who wants to get clients from LinkedIn without posting every day — you’re going to love this one.

    Talking head videos are the #1 type of content so many business owners avoid… and I get it. But if you’re a service provider, you can’t skip them if you want your content to build trust and convert.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down how I make talking head content easier — what to say, how to plan it, how to batch record it, and how to batch edit it so your content doesn’t sit in a folder for months.

    I’m sharing my content strategy for coming up with ideas, my talking heads framework, and the practical tips that make your videos look and sound high quality — without needing fancy equipment.

    If you’re ready to show up confidently on camera and create content that actually moves your business forward, this episode is for you.
