Wed, 11 Sep 2024 - 36min - 71 - 69 - My 5 Tips for Reaching Page 1 of Google!
We are talking about one of my most favourite topics to talk about today and funnily enough that is SEO!! One of the pivotal things that I did very very early on in my business was I invested a lot of my time into learning about how to reach those top pages of Google. I managed to spend over 10 years at the top pages of Google and today I'm spilling the tea on exactly how I did that with five of my best tips that will elevate your status and page ranking on Google.
We also have a little segment on Instagram because as we all know Instagram has now become a giant search engine in itself. Reaching those top pages of Google was pivotal in my career because it enabled me to book celebrity clients, book top billboards and commercials, and of course become insanely more visible to my ideal client brides. If you're not getting any bookings, I guarantee it's because you're not visible enough and this episode it's gonna show you how to rectify that.

You guys enable me to do what I do and this is my thank you AND this year we are turning it into one giant party, as I deliver three live training is over three days with a bunch of surprises in store all centred around gaining bookings, upping those quality and how to absolutely smash it.

Wed, 27 Mar 2024 - 34min - 45 - 45 - Branding for Makeup Artists - Mini Mentorship 3
Welcome back to this weeks episode and it's part 3 of our mini mentorship! In this episode (which is usually 1-1 week!) we are looking at branding. Usually in my 1-1 sessions with students, we break down their website, their instagram and their practises, to see if these are aligning with their ideal clients from week 1. A huge part of that lies with their branding, which is very often, the OPPOSITE, of what will attract their ideal client. That's the focus of this week in our mini mentorship.
I break down what branding is, what it encompasses, and how we can brand better to attract our ideal clients instantly. We could be the perfect makeup artist for them - but our branding might be telling them otherwise. Let's align them in todays episode!

In today's episode, we are starting an exciting new series!! Every year, alongside my mentorship programme, I also do a mini mentorship series where I go into each module of my 12 week course, and create a mini version for our community! Well this year, I thought - let's bring her to the podcast. In this mini series, every week you will be learning tidbits, tools, teachings and strategies from my mentorship programme. Each week will follow the modules I teach - and we are starting with IDEAL CLIENT.
Ideal client is so so important, and forms the basis of almost every decision within our businesses. If you don't know your ideal client, how do you know how to market, how to talk to your customers, how do you make decisions if you don't know your WHO! Well today, we talk about it, including how I came to find my ideal client, who she is, why it's so important, what small hints you can get from your ideal client. We also look at the difference between soul mate clients, just clients, and unideal clients.
It's a jam packed one - grab those notebooks!
