@Elias Rhodes i haven't figured that part out yet, unfortunately. My listens are pretty inconsistent on spotify and apple podcasts. However, I've noticed bumps when I've had decent guests on the show. I'm also working on building my youtube channel. For the past 30 something days, I started posting about 10 clips a day to youtube shorts, just to test whether or not the content worked. I went from low 30k views up to the mid 160k range. That was really cool to see, however, I have less than 1% of viewers converting into regulars. The strategy I'm starting to implement is to add the link to the long form content in the short description. That's the advice I've been given to convert shorts viewers into regulars, which then turns them into subscribers. I'm also quite weak when it comes to promotion. I don't do enough teaser posts about upcoming drops. I think that hurts a lot as well. My strategy is to churn content for now, find out what types of content works for my channel and then pound that....which reminds me! I had one video with 57 views but earned me 3 new subscribers. It was just a video of me talking about how we've switched our team meetings from accountability calls to more strategic problem solving. Since that was a hit, I'm creating new videos that breaks down every single problem I've faced when building a private lending business, how we thought through the different solutions and which one we implemented. I hope all of this helps.

@Elias Rhodes sure, would love to collaborate

Totally agree. When you're out there trying to genuinely help people...good things happen. Even if it's not something that's going to make you money, good things happen.

I've been having a post conversation with someone in a different group and thought it might be helpful to post here as well: Right now, I'm building a 12 module private lending course that's going to be my lead magnet. I also raise money for short tern real estate loans as my main line of work. On top of that, I record videos for youtube and blast 10 shorts a day in addition to the FB, IG, TikTok and LinkedIn posting as well. Once I've done all that, I either take my kids to their classes or help prep dinner. Once my lead magnet is done, I'm revamping my website, then will be updating my Youtube about page and continue to nurture my network to keep them warm for upcoming real estate lending opportunities. Everyday after I drop my daughter off at her school, I spend 20-30 minutes in the car talking to chat, strategizing about my fitness routine, business and social media content. The content creation isn't so bad, I think my trouble is that the effort tied to getting people to engage is what's draining. My content is driven by sharing my experiences and lessons from mistakes so that others can learn from them. The community engagement is definitely a weak point for me.

@Date Wise thank you so much. What are you working on?

Hi Jay, what are these interview for?

I'm trying to collaborate with people in my industry to do cool deals.
