SEO essentials for a successful business ft Ryan Stewart & Alex Quin

Ryan Stewart is a digital marketing genius and a serial entrepreneur. He is a well-known and established marketing expert with a penchant for scaling online businesses. He has developed processes to escalate business growth and allow owners to step back after realizing the company’s potential. Ryan has more than ten years of experience in this industry and has done a lot during this short period of time. He is the founder of The Blueprint Training, an online platform that actively helps over 3,000 industries scale. He is also the founder of Capture & Convert WordPress plugin, and the owner of a successful YouTube channel with more than 1 million organic views. Currently, he is a mentor and teacher and helps businesses scale effectively with the help of the programs he developed for his previous venture WEBRIS. That company scaled to $1.1 million ARR in just 16 months. Ryan now helps other companies follow the same path.

Wisdom Nuggets

The marketing potential of authoring a book: The money you make on sales of a book isn’t very much usually. However, writing a book can be a huge marketing opportunity. When someone authors a book, it gives them a sense of credibility and trust as being experts in their field and places them in a position of authority. The true return on investment (ROI)
The difference between being a business owner and a hustler: It takes a while to truly become a business owner. For Ryan, it was a 15-year journey. Everyone starts off as a hustler that is creating opportunities and grinding daily. The true freedom in entrepreneurship comes when you become a business owner and you have a set of customers that are loyal to you and a company where your direct inputs are not needed for running the everyday operations.
Leveraging the power of SEO: Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the key to success for every business. SEO is what enables you to be easily discoverable online and for people to connect with you. Google now provides guidelines and design formats for how to build your website and establish authority and credibility. When you understand your customers and how they search the web, you can then design content in ways to match their search and make you more discoverable.
Information vs Implementation: Information in today’s world is a free resource. You can literally find anything you want to know and learn on google. The fact is that most people don’t do anything with the information they are provided. Content marketing is powerful because it creates avenues to implement for clients the information and knowledge you provide them. Implementation over information.

The Innovative Stage To Music Touring ft. Sahir Hanif with Alex Quin

In this episode, Alex Quin chats with Sahir Hanif, founder and CEO of Ghost Town. Ghost Town sets up and cleans up the pieces of a tour to help make musicians and artists successful. Making art is difficult, but touring shouldn’t be. With the current health and safety challenges of restarting live events, it can be incredibly difficult to manage the complexities and changing landscape of health and safety, education, and planning that goes into keeping artists, crews, and admirers safe. Their mission is to build the infrastructure artists need to connect, thrive, and grow with their audience.

A Southern California native, Sahir’s introduction to the music came from growing up with parents in the industry. His father is an award-winning composer, and multi-instrumentalist, and as a child, he would often play on his father’s recordings, and help pack up all of the gear when his dad would bring musicians from the Middle East to perform live and in the studio.

All That Goes Into Organising A Music Tour: There are so many moving parts that go into organising a music tour - travel schedules, budgeting, transportation of equipment, venue booking and licensing. What goes on behind the scenes is so important for making an artist have a successful tour and creating the best experience for attending a concert.
Ghost Town: From building your crew team, managing vendors, tech and production, managing logistics and travels, budgeting and financial tracking to health and safety precautions, Ghost Town does it all.

The best way to start working and connecting with people, especially if you want to get more clients, is to understand how they work and what problems they need to solve. Communicate in a way where you are bringing value to them and how you can help them rather than approaching it selfishly. Pride is the devil when you are trying to build a strong network.

Wisdom Nuggets

Work from the ground up: Never settle or feel entitled to something. Whatever your starting point was, you can put in the work in order to be successful. Start by learning the basics. Once you have that in place, you will continue to grow by making the most of the opportunities that may come your way.
You create your opportunity: You cannot wait for things to happen always. Sometimes it's about making things happen for you. Opportunities come to those who are looking for one. Many of your best opportunities are those that you made for yourself.
The good things come with the bad: Failure is a part of success. Adversity can be your best friend if you are able to learn and grow from it. Setbacks can be a stepping stone to moving forward.

Making Money Work For You ft. Kristin Lee with Alex Quin

In this episode, Alex Quin chats with Kristin Lee – a business manager who focused on intricate international tax and business structures for a myriad of clients throughout her career. Kristin has over 17 years of experience in the industry and has worked at some of the top business management firms in the world before starting KLBM, her own business management firm. She has since built a skilled team sharing her passion for supporting ambitious entrepreneurs looking to turn their dreams into fruitful and lifelong operations. In this podcast, she talks about her journey, what led her on this path, and some best practices you can use to make your money work for you.

Wisdom Nuggets

Risk vs Reward: There are instances in life where you might need to break away from the routine of what is comfortable and take a leap of faith. In times like that, it is really important to back yourself and make that jump. You may not have everything figured out, but if you really are willing to apply yourself, learn and work hard, things will work out and surprise you. Life is about risk and reward. Great rewards come with great risks, but you must be willing to take your shot, whenever that moment comes.
Empower your community: Use the platform and opportunity that you’ve been given to help others around you, especially your own community. Use your power and influence, to be a platform to help represent and empower diverse communities. We’re always better when we are working together and use the platforms we’ve built across our fields of influence.
Use Technology to ‘Think Big’: We so easily fall into the trap of having gadgets control and consume us these days. Technology is not inherently bad, it’s all about how we choose to leverage it. We have to make technology work for us - help create better processes, work more efficiently and, network and build new relationships. Always be on the lookout for the latest technologies available and how you can leverage it to level up.

Planting your Seed ft. Melitsa Waage with Alex Quin

In this episode, Alex Quin chats with Melitsa Waage – a transformational thought leader, fitness influencer, adventurer, thrill seeker, world traveler, author, and motivational speaker. Her extensive research and training has helped her create unique platforms for individuals who desire to experience their lives and minds at peak performance. She is author of the recently released book titled ‘Detoxify your Mind’ while also being CEO/Founder of Epic Talks Miami, a networking event which is geared towards connecting you to the right audience and equipping you to be the best you can be.

Wisdom Nuggets

You may not be able to control the bad things that come your way, but you can control how you respond to it. Your attitude determines your action, you can choose to feel sorry for yourself or you can use a situation as an opportunity to capitalize and move forward or create new things.
See how you can add value: In order to build meaningful relationships and networks, it's extremely important to always go in with an attitude of service. Seeking how you can add value first, not what you can get out of it. This will help you in being able to build lasting and healthy relationship networks.
Opportunity comes from anywhere, never let yourself limit what you can do. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, create it. Don’t forget that you can achieve anything if you are willing to put in the work. But remember being the best you can be and achieving success takes time, put in the work, stay the course and you will be successful in the end.

Wisdom Nuggets

● Success is a journey: It is not going to be all glamorous. Many times you will have to seize

an opportunity because it won’t always be handed to you. Unlike in college where the main

objective is to show up, in the real world you need to make things happen. Start out small

and keep learning and growing.

● Hacking and Adapting: Lessons from life in New York. Learning to build things your own and

taking something basic and making it cool. Meeting people and learning from them is so

important. It is really valuable to be able to work with people that are better than you and

glean from that.
