6. The dichotomy between the so-called "fraud-casters" and legitimate podcasters is the focal point of our discourse today. Fraud-casters are individuals who embark on the endeavor of creating podcasts without possessing a genuine understanding or appreciation for the medium; they often fail to engage with existing podcasts and neglect the fundamental elements that constitute a true podcast, such as an RSS feed. In contrast, authentic podcasters invest time in not only producing content but also in immersing themselves in the intricate dynamics of audio storytelling and audience engagement. I draw from personal experiences and observations within the podcasting landscape to elucidate the significance of valuing the listening experience, which is paramount for anyone aspiring to host a podcast. Ultimately, this discussion serves as a clarion call for those entering the podcasting realm to cultivate a deeper respect for the craft, ensuring that their contributions are both meaningful and enriching to the listening community. A profound exploration of the distinctions between the terms 'fraud-caster' and 'podcaster' reveals critical insights into the integrity and authenticity of the podcasting medium. The dialogue elucidates how individuals who aspire to host podcasts, yet possess no genuine engagement with the medium, undermine its value. This discourse posits that true podcasters exhibit a deep respect for the auditory experience, investing time in both consuming and creating content that resonates with listeners. The episode further examines the concept of the fraud-caster, individuals who may produce visuals and claim to host podcasts without providing an authentic audio experience or an RSS feed, thereby diluting the essence of what a podcast ought to be. The discussion highlights the necessity of understanding the podcasting landscape, emphasizing that aspiring hosts must appreciate the nuances of the genre to contribute meaningfully to the community.

   You'll always hear that if you want to make money as a photographer or videographer you should stop shooting buildings, animals and nature, and shoot people. This is why most photographers and videographers look to go the corporate route.
   
   My guest, Brandon Everett, doesn't see it that way.
   
   Check out a video segment!
   
   He chose to leave the corporate realm and focus on creative photography.
   
   My biggest question for him was, "isn't corporate where the money is?"
   
   This interview was filmed at a networking event with my video podcast booth.

What's Better Than Having a Big Retainer Client?Send us a text

   Believe it or not, there is a con to having retainer clients for your videography business. It happened to me, but I don't want it to happen to you. In this video I encourage you to adopt a system that is more reliable than relying on videography retainers to grow you business.
   
   WATCH THE VIDEO
   
   A retainer client that brings in a large percentage of your revenue, can make you feel a false sense of security. Having that money coming in might make you forget about investing in stuff that is important for growing your videography business.
   In this video I present something that may be more important than retainer clients.
   
   In this episode I talk about:
   Did I get lucky with my first retainer?
   What did I spend the money on?
   What should I have spent the money on?

   In this episode of Show Up Better I speak with Reasons Brown to discuss his role in crafting creative futures and the business of owning an art gallery.
   
   His art gallery is unlike what you think of most art galleries. Yes, there's art in the form of painting and drawings. But he also hosts showcases for another form of art; music.
   
   watch a segment on YouTube: https://youtu.be/A1NEvU7Q4uM
   
   He, himself, is a former collegiate basketball player and artist. He uses his gallery to showcase his own musical talents as well as others. 
   
   In this, part one of the interview, I ask him about the business of owning an art gallery. I want to get an idea of what it takes to get into the space he's in. The gallery is in a mall in a space that was once occupied by a Hollister's clothing store.
   
   I also ask him what his mission is with the space.

   This episode is for you if you are an event planner, event coordinator or just looking to host events.
   
   How did the Big Hat and Sundress Brunch start?
   
   It started as a brunch with close friends and was hosted at a church. It begin to grow as more and more people were interested in attending.
   
   Do you need to already have an audience to host events like this?
   
   All you need is the believe that you can do it, and just do it.

   They are women, mostly between the ages of 45 and 65 and seeking community.

   Some sites say there are 3 million podcasts available now. Some say there are 4 million. Either way, there are a lot of them.

   Ms. Kristina Blake is making a name for herself. But it may not all be for good reasons.
   
   Who is she?
   
   Watch Part 1 Video
   
   She's a "content creator", or aspiring content creator, who at the time of this interview had been unemployed for nearly a year. To add to that, she resides in one of Uptown Charlotte's premier residential towers. 
   
   But while most people in her situation would just go and seek full time employement, Ms. Blake has a different plan.
   
   After her first successful campaign raised $6,000, she decided to go back to the well, or her followers, to ask for a substantial donation. She wants $30,000.
   
   In this interview, I ask her just who the f#@k she thinks she is. I also ask what type of jobs is she willing to do.
   
   One of her reasons for requesting donations is to buy equipment needed to create the content she wants to create. Equipment such as a camera and a laptop. My response, just use your phone. In my opinion, the good content creators work with what they have. Not having equipment shouldn't be the reason you're unable to create good content.

After her first suc...Is Instagram Really Bringing You Qualified Leads or Are You Wasting Your Time?Send us a text

   In this episode of Show Up Better! I talk about how much time has been wasted over the last 2 years with leads that come through Instagram. These leads have come in the form of DM's from posts or paid ads, but none of them have panned out.
   
   Instagram is the Worst ----> YouTube video
   
   By "qualified", I mean people willing to pay full price.
   
   So, it could be the content. It could be the frequency in which I post the content. It could be that my followers don't really represent my ideal client.
   
   Are you having a similar problem with Instagram?
   
   I recently made some changes to how I deal with, not just leads from Instagram, but all leads I get for my video production business.
   
   How I send proposals to clients ---> YouTube video
   
   If you're dealing with a similar issue, what are some things you can do differently going forward?

   Welcome to the first episode of Show Up Better! This first episode happens to be a content coaching session. In it I meet and speak with a friend, and client, Lillie Norfleet. Lillie is the co-founder of FindHer KeepHer shoe line.
   
   Watch a segment of this episode on YouTube
   
   I've had the pleasure of working with Lillie to create social media and YouTube content, as well as a podcast. So having the content hasn't been an issue. But Lillie as been struck by several big setbacks in her personal life as well as her business.  These setbacks have lead to delays with launching her shoe line.
   
   Her biggest now issue is what direction she should go in with her content as she recovers from the setbacks. She is unsure about how much of her story and recent struggles she should share with the world as content.
   
   Not only do I suggest sharing everything she can that makes sense, but I also share the story of my biggest failure as a video producer and how I'm working to recover from it. By sharing this with her, she begins to understand that she is not the only entrepreneur going through some really tough times. And that some of her best content for growing her brand might be sharing her ugliest moments.
