And we're off to an incredible start for the first episode of the new season as I welcome Joanne Clayton.

How do you find the right customers and, just as importantly, keep the good ones you've already got?

In this episode, I chat with Joanne Clayton about business growth, finding your ideal clients, telemarketing, direct marketing and why following up really matters.

We also talk about using AI as a tool rather than letting it take over, the value of good customer data and CRM systems, and Joanne shares some great advice for anyone thinking about starting their own business.

Practical, straightforward advice with plenty of laughs along the way!

Why are some posts met with silence while others start conversations?

In this short episode, I explore some of the common reasons people don't respond to your content and, more importantly, what you can do about it. From making your posts easier to read to focusing on one clear message and encouraging genuine conversation, I'll share a few simple ideas that can help you create content people actually want to engage with.

Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Online Entrepreneur Academy Podcast.

As always, thank you for joining me. If you're a regular listener, welcome back. If this is your first time here, it's great to have you with us. And if you enjoy today's conversation, I'd really appreciate it if you could subscribe. It doesn't cost a penny, but it really does help more people discover the podcast.

Today's guest is someone I think many business owners will relate to.

Whether you're a teacher, coach, consultant, creative or simply someone wondering if you could turn your skills into a business, this episode is packed with practical advice.

Jo Barber is the founder of Seeing Social, where she helps businesses take the stress out of social media. But this conversation isn't just about Facebook, LinkedIn or Instagram.

It's about recognising the value of the skills you already have, building a business that works for you, setting healthy boundaries, making marketing feel human again, and remembering that success doesn't happen overnight.

We also chat about why you don't need to be on every social media platform, whether hashtags really are yesterday's news, how accessibility can actually improve your marketing, and why keeping your followers happy matters just as much as keeping the algorithm happy.

And, as always, we'll finish with our Desert Island questions to find out a little more about Jo away from the business world.

So, make yourself comfortable, grab a cup of tea, and let's get started.
