Building My First AI App (and Why You Don't Need to Be a Developer to Do It)

I’m officially building my first Al app. No code. No hoodie-wearing co-founder. Just me, my idea, a no-code tool called Lovable.dev, and two years of quietly training an Al on everything I know about marketing, messaging, and digital products.

Do This Before You Pitch Your Business to Brands

You’ve been doing this business thing for a little while now, and you feel like you’ve finally found your footing. Everything seems to be going great, except for one thing.

You don’t have any features, collabs, partnerships, or PR opportunities in general!

Opportunities for exposure could be so many different things, but they all circulate back to working with another brand. This could be writing a guest blog post or being featured in a blog post, collaborating with another brand on an upcoming launch, being a guest on a podcast episode, having your story told in a popular magazine, landing an interview on a daytime talk-show program, etc.

Some of those examples seem far more reachable than others, but in order to land any of them, it all starts with the steps you take before and leading up to pressing send on that pitch (and don’t worry, we’ll be going over that, too!)

A few of these steps you might not even think twice about, especially if you’re DIYing this whole pitch-your-biz-to-other-brands thing, which is why we’ve made sure to give you a solid plan to put yourself out there confidently.

Top Tips to Boost Your Social Media Marketing Game

There’s no denying that social media came into our lives and completely took over. For both personal and business use, 7 in 10 Americans are on some form of social media platform.

Facebook has 2.5 billion active users every month.

335 million people are using Pinterest each month.

1 billion people are active on Instagram every month.

That’s a LOT of people and a huge pond to swim in that will only continue to grow , but that just means that nailing down your social media marketing game is as important as ever. Luckily for you, you have us!

If you want to learn how to boost your social media marketing game, we’re here to give you our top tips and a little surprise at the end!

The Right Way to Grow Your Email List with an Opt-In

We see you, babe.

You’re advertising the shit out of your products or services, talking them up on every social media platform that you can be found on, going live on Facebook and Instagram, spreading your business through word of mouth, and every other thing you can think of.

Still, you just aren’t getting the results you’d like to be, and you’re tired of repeatedly seeing the straight line creeping across your sales chart or– God forbid– a slow decline.

The last thing you need to do is give up. You may think you’re showing up everywhere you possibly can be. You may think you’re directly targeting your audience.

How to Give Clients the Ultimate First Impression

“Gaining clients” can be a foreign, uncomfortable phrase to most new service-based businesses.

It’s new territory– hell, a new world– trying to navigate how to gain clients. You almost feel like you’re missing out on something that everyone else knows except you.

The thing is, this isn’t like the krabby patty secret formula.

It doesn’t have to be difficult. If you’re finding that you aren’t getting any leads, what you could do is reevaluate what kind of first impression you’re giving, and it all starts with one thing:

Your client introduction packet.

How to Sell On Instagram Without Feeling Like a Slimy Cheeseball

If you’re a product-based business it’s probably no surprise to you that you can make sales from Instagram. You probably do it all the time and it feels natural. However, to those of you that are service based (with a potentially high dollar price range), selling on Instagram seems like a long shot. Who would’ve thought that after less than one year of being very intentional about our Instagram game that we’d see actual, real life, high-dollar clients from it? Well it happened for us, and it can happen for you too. Luckily, it’s not rocket science.

Followers Ain’t Nothin’ But A Number

So you own a business, startup or blog, or all of the above. You continue to push out social media post after social media post. And you keep praying that follower number increases. You obsessively check your phone to see who added you on Instagram and Twitter. You await new subscribers. And celebrate every time you gain a new follower on Bloglovin’. STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING! That number doesn’t matter. Whether it is 200 or 20,000 it is moot. Your focus needs to shift.

How to Use Instagram Stories to Get More Sales

Instagram Stories debuted and our biggest complaint is that we don’t know what to call them. InstaSnaps? Instants? Snaps? Insta Stories? #TheStruggleisReal.

Besides that, we’re in love.

We’re not here to debate whether Instagram stole SnapChat’s idea or any of that jazz. We love them, we use them and we know they’re going to help with engagement. If you want to figure out how to make actual sales from them then you’re in the right place. P.S. from here on out we’ll be referring to them as Story or Stories. You can call them whatever you want.
