During her presentation, Kaelin takes you behind the scenes of her 8-Figure LadyBoss movement that is impacting more than 1.3 Million women.

McDonalds Is All In On Mobile, How About Your Business?


One of the most successful business franchises in history is in the middle of a dramatic shift to mobile. McDonalds announced that they are adding self-serve kiosks and mobile order technology to 1,000 stores every quarter for the next 2 years. They want to give their customers greater variety when it comes to ordering and paying for meals. McDonalds is all-in on mobile and staying relevant to their customers by expanding the use of mobile technology throughout their business.
Perhaps SMB’s can take some cues from McDonalds shift, and stay ahead of the curve with your product and service offerings. Check out this article that breaks down this dramatic change that will change fast food forever:
“In a very short time, this restaurant has transformed into one of the most innovative and modern restaurants in the U.S.
I’m speaking, of course, about McDonald’s.
Don’t believe me? McDonald’s mobile app is currently ranked #3 in Apple’s app store,with an average rating of 4.5 stars (out of 5) and over 56,000 ratings. (Compare competitor Burger King’s app,which has only 443 ratings for an average of 2.7 stars.)
But it’s the store’s most recent transformation that is sure to change the future of fast food: the placing of self-serve kiosks in every McDonald’s store in the U.S.
In a matter of months, customers will be able to go to any McDonald’s around the country and order directly from one of these kiosks, after which they can then pick up their food at a counter or wait on an employee to bring the meal directly to the table.
“It’s a dramatic change,” McDonald’s CEO Steve Easterbrook told CNBC in a recent interview.
Easterbrook claims the kiosks, which are already in about 50% of U.S. stores, work well on numerous levels. “If people want to just dwell, have a little bit more time, they can go to a self-order kiosk, they can browse through the menu…they can start to see the broader ranges perhaps or they may want to customize the food they’ve got. Then, you can pay clearly on credit [or] debit there as well.”
When people have more time to dwell, explains Easterbrook, they tend to buy more, boosting the average check.
McDonald’s customers in international markets served as a test ground for the kiosks. McDonald’s confidently moved forward after a full rollout in the U.K., Canada, and Australia, where leadership deemed the project a success. To catch up, the company will be adding the kiosks to 1,000 U.S. restaurants per quarter–an average of over 10 per day.
But there’s a reason these kiosks are so successful.
Why these kiosks are a game-changer….”
How To Create A Social Media Plan For Your Business?


Social media plays a monumental role in engaging and communicating with your customers. In fact, a recent study showed that Facebook and Instagram are the top 2 channels that SMB’s use to stay in touch with their audiences.
However, nearly 50% of SMB’s are missing out on engaging their customers through any social media platforms, and this is a big mistake if they intend to grow their customer base and their businesses. Now there’s only so much time in a day, so if you do intend to start using social media to communicate with your prospects and customers, how should you go about customizing an effective strategy to do so?
Here is a great article by Tim Fitzpatrick of Rialto Mobile that breaks it down for you…
“Social media for small businesses can be really effective, but it is still a huge challenge for most business owners.
According to a survey by Netsertive, 49% of the small business survey respondents don’t have a formal social media marketing strategy in place. This number is low, especially with the range of amazing technology to help manage social media.
Is it really that surprising though? Not really.
Many small businesses don’t have the budget, time, or skills to take advantage of social media as a marketing channel.
I hope to change that! This article will help you start to manage social media like a pro.
It all starts with creating a social media marketing plan…”

Mandatory only if you want to remain relevant. Video is not only the dominant medium of the future, but it is the dominant medium of Right Now!

This Year, 2018, Mobile Ad Spend Will Overtake TV Ad Spend


That headline alone is astounding: That this year, 2018, mobile ad spend will overtake TV ad spend for the first time ever! And there is no going back folks! Digital Marketing is a beast, and it is only getting bigger! Check out the stats in the article from Mobile Marketer below…
“Mobile commerce is some of the fuel that’s driving the strong growth in the ad space as mobile conversions are expected to surpass those for desktop computers. Mobile commerce sales grew 29% to $153 billion in 2017 from the prior year, making up one-third of online retail revenue, Forrester found in a separate study. The researcher forecast that the U.S. will add 53 million smartphone shoppers in the next five years to make up 82% of online shoppers buying through a mobile device. The significance of e-commerce to mobile advertising is a key opportunity for Amazon and Snapchat to grow their ad revenues.
Google and Facebook, which are frequently called the “duopoly” because of their dominance in the digital ad market, will only strengthen their hold on the market with nearly unsurpassed ability to target personalized ads to massive global audiences. Google, which has a near-monopoly on mobile search, targets ads based on consumer browsing history and how people research products and services…”
Should You Start A Podcast To Help Promote Your Business?


The popularity of Podcasts are sky high with no signs of slowing down. Not only is it relatively inexpensive to start your own Podcast, but it’s pretty simple to get started. The questions really are, will it be worth it to you to have your own podcast, and will it make that big a difference in growing your brand and your bottom line? Here is a great article that will break down the best reasons for why you should start a podcast for your business.
“The meteoric rise of smart speaker technology means that having a voice strategy for your brand is no longer optional.
But if you aren’t convinced yet, consider this: JPMorgan Chase recently announced it had appointed an agency specifically to handle its voice marketing, as it seeks to “amplify” (intentional pun?) its strategy around voice.
Financial institutions aren’t known for being early adopters of new trends, so this may be an important signal that voice is here to stay.
The financial giant’s chief marketing officer, Kristin Lemkau, had this to say:
Voice is not only coming; it’s here. And in a multitasking world, it’s significant.
Uh, what Kristin said.
There are elements you should include in a voice strategy, including optimizing your content for voice search.
Another one is podcasting.
In fact, more and more savvy brands are turning to podcasting as a marketing tool.
Google itself has just announced a new podcast-specific strategy, which aims to double the number of global podcast listeners.
Let’s take a look at some of the reasons why.
Podcasts are Exploding in Popularity
In the United States, four-in-10 people have listened to a podcast.
Furthermore, 67 million Americans listen to podcasts monthly—an increase of 14 percent in just one year.
And because Europe tends to follow U.S. trends, podcasts are becoming hugely popular in the U.K. One-in-ten adults in the U.K. now listen to a podcast every week.
Lately, my friends and I are more likely to enthuse about our latest podcast discoveries rather than the latest Netflix box sets or Hollywood blockbuster….”
How To Keep Tabs On Your Competition


When you started your business you needed to know who your competitors were and what they were up to, and it’s the same story now. You must keep up with what your top competitors are doing, so you can stay one step (or more) ahead of them.
Competition is a good thing, it’s a healthy thing, and it can keep us all on our toes. Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the businesses that you go head-to-head with can offer insights into growing your business in a way you could have never thought of on your own.
Luckily, in the era of technology that we’re living in now, the internet offers a vast array of tools that can help you keep tabs on your competition. This type of strategic thinking can pay off big, so take a look at the list of tools to help you build a competitive advantage in your market…
“1. Google Alerts
No list of online monitoring tools would be complete without Google Alerts.
This tool is about as easy to use as it gets. Simply sign into your Google account to get started. If you don’t have one, it will take only a couple of minutes to sign up.
Next, input the names of your competitors. Google takes care of the rest.
You’ll get an email report every time a competitor on your alert list gets mentioned online. You can set it up for links and keywords as well.
It all depends on what you want to track.
Google Alerts is great because it’s free to use. You’ll get notified when your competitors are mentioned so you can stay up to date on the latest information.
2. Social Mention
We know 71% of small businesses use social media to engage with their customers. This shouldn’t come as a surprise to you. That’s why Social Mention is one of my favorite monitoring tools.
It’s super easy to use. Simply search for terms, keywords, or the names of specific brands, and the platform will show you what people are talking about across social networks and blogs.
The tool will tell you how often the brand gets mentioned as well.
This is a great opportunity for you to see what actual people are saying about …“
What Every Digital Marketer Needs to Know About GDPR


For those that don’t know, GDPR stands for (General Data Protection Regulation) On May 25th, these new laws will take effect that change the way personal data is collected and used online. These rules apply to anyone and everyone who markets online.
Navigating data regulations is never easy, so it’s understandable that becoming GDPR compliant may feel a little overwhelming, but we’re all in this together.
The folks at Digital Marketer have done a good job of summarizing everything you need to know about the new regulations…
“The new GDPR rules go into effect in less than a month (May 25th to be exact), and if you find yourself unsure how or if GDPR applies to you, you’re not alone.
GDPR is about processing personal data. For example, something as simple as having someone’s name and email address. If you have data from citizens of the EU, you’ll need to comply.
And failure to comply is NO JOKE.
Fines have gone up to €20 million or 4% of your worldwide turnover for the last 12 months.
Now, if you’re a small company, you might think, “Those fines are for big companies, like Facebook. Even if it’s a law, who’s going to find out if I’m doing anything wrong? Who’s going to enforce it, etc.?”
Even if you’re not being slapped with heavy fines, there will be reputational damage for not complying. And with all eyes on the commercial use of personal data right now,…”
Why Your Business Needs To Be On Instagram


Did you know that engagement on Instagram is 10 times higher than engagement on Facebook? Instagram has 800 million monthly active users, so I think it’s time to get your brand on the Gram and start testing some lead gen activities. The ability to generate leads on Instagram is more than just posting pretty pictures, you have to have a strategy. But even before we start going deep on Instagram lead gen strategy, I think it’s important to share the reasons why Instagram is a place where you should invest your efforts in promoting your business.
Here is an article that explores why your business needs to be on Instagram now, and in the future…
“In 2012, $1 billion seemed like an awful lot to pay for Instagram, given that the photo-sharing network had just 30 million users.
But, Facebook was weak on mobile in those pre-IPO days, and the purchase of Instagram allowed an immediate shoring up in that area.
Mark Zuckerberg was lauded for his commitment to keeping Instagram independent, and not just Frankensteining the technology into the parent Facebook app. Now, six years later, his quotes are even more interesting:
“For years, we’ve focused on building the best experience for sharing photos with your friends and family. Now, we’ll be able to work even more closely with the Instagram team to also offer the best experiences for sharing beautiful mobile photos with people based on your interests.
We believe these are different experiences that complement each other. But in order to do this well, we need to be mindful about keeping and building on Instagram’s strengths and…”
