Debunking the Myths Behind Makers Scaling Their Business

We all want to know that we can make a million dollars, so we're debunking outdated myths around the makers' business model to help you feel inspired to build and scale your company to its full potential. 

As a business, you need to figure out how to make money from your trade.  

First off, makers do not have to make everything they sell. Outsourcing does not depersonalize your connection to the brand or dilute your product's value. 

Secondly, makers can be millionaires. It's all about surrounding yourself with the right people and seeing real-life maker-to-rich stories you can relate to. Tune in to hear about just a few of our incredible self-starters who turned their maker business into a well-oiled product machine. 

Still don't believe us? Join our free Makers Guide to Scaling Workshop to uncover the secrets to uplevel your business and reach your dream goals. Let's MAKE it happen!

Why We Spent 100k on the Small Business Shopping Directory and Shop 1 in 5 Pledge

Last year, consumers’ values and shopping habits transformed drastically. As brick-and-mortar establishments were put on pause and the world went online, we reached out to our community, evaluating their needs during these unprecedented times. Our mission was to find a solution that made a real difference to small businesses. 

The seed for the Small Business Shopping Directory and Shop 1 in 5 Pledge was born – and it took shape fast! Within 48 hours, we had 600 subscribers and excellent press coverage, which gave us the confidence (and the rankings) to invest $100,000, elevating the Small Business Shopping Directory and consumer experience to the highest of standards, boosting member benefits – not to mention their bottom lines – in the process. 

We launched the Small Business Shopping Directory and we had 600 businesses sign up within 48 hours

In this episode, we reflect on our journey, from premise to promotion, and how we brought our most significant professional projects (yet) to life!

What to Do if You Want to Improve Your Discoverability on Google

TPB Podcast Ep. 214-263 (3).png

After a short and sweet hiatus, we’re kicking off the summer season with more super-valuable content for your growing business. Today, we’re diving into the backend of Google and exploring the different ways you can improve your visibility as a small business on Google search results. 

Most of us have a vague idea of what a keyword is. We use them whenever we’re searching for the latest must-have on Google. However, fewer people are fluent in keyword manipulation and how to climb up the rankings on Google, sidestepping the big brand coverage to be seen on the first two pages of search results.

Backlinks are not created equal: the goal is to get as many backlinks as possible while focusing on “quality vs. quantity.”

This episode breaks down search word relevancy, the boosting capabilities of quality backlinks, and why featuring your business on The Small Business Shopping Directory could help your Google visibility. You’ll step away with the actionable steps (and words) to elevate your rankings online RIGHT NOW. What are you waiting for!?
