18 Jun 2024The Journey of Personal Branding and Empowerment with Urmi Hossain00:39:31

Send us a text

Joining us today is Urmi Hossain, a vibrant force in the world of finance and a passionate advocate for women’s education. In 2020, Urmi founded a blog specifically aimed at empowering women and girls by offering financial education that’s often less accessible to them, challenging the status quo and providing essential tools for their financial independence. She is currently writing her second book and shares her insights on building a personal brand and overcoming the unique challenges that come with it.

The Birth of a Blog: Empowering Women:

Urmi's journey into personal branding began in 2020 during the pandemic. Motivated by a desire to help women and girls, she founded a blog focused on financial education. This blog was born out of her own personal experiences and the challenges she faced growing up. She wanted to create a platform that provided valuable information and empowered women to achieve financial independence. Starting the blog was a trial-and-error process for Urmi, as she had to learn how to build a website and maintain consistent content. Despite initial insecurities and the fear of sharing personal details, Urmi realized the importance of connecting with her audience by being authentic and sharing her story.

The Future

Looking ahead, Urmi envisions continuing her content creation journey, growing her YouTube channel, and expanding her blog's reach. She has two major goals: self-publishing her second book and delivering a TED talk. These aspirations reflect her commitment to personal growth and her desire to share her message with a larger audience. Urmi also expresses interest in exploring podcasting and enhancing her audio quality to further diversify her content offerings.

Urmi's journey is a testament to the power of personal branding, resilience, and the importance of authenticity. Her story highlights the challenges and rewards of building a personal brand and the significant impact one can make by staying true to their mission. As she continues to inspire and empower others, Urmi's message resonates with anyone looking to create a meaningful and fulfilling career.

27 Jun 2024Avoid These Common Marketing Mistakes in 2024 with Beverly Cornell00:07:41

Send us a text

Welcome to the latest episode of the Spark & Ignite Your Marketing Podcast, hosted by Beverly Cornell. Today, we're diving into a crucial topic: avoiding common marketing mistakes in 2024. Whether you're in health and wellness, the pet industry, or tech, these insights will help you sidestep the pitfalls many businesses encounter. Grab your coffee, settle in, and let's get started!

  1. Ignoring Data Analytics: In 2024, data is more accessible and valuable than ever. Yet, many businesses still rely on gut feelings rather than solid data. For example, a tech startup launched a new app without tracking user behavior, missing out on crucial insights. On the other hand, a pet grooming service used data analytics to identify that their Facebook ads drove the most bookings, leading to increased appointments.
  2. Inconsistent Branding: Your brand is your identity. Inconsistency can confuse your audience and dilute your marketing messages. Consider a candle-making business with a beautifully designed website but inconsistent social media branding. This disconnect can make potential customers question the professionalism of the business. In contrast, a dental practice with consistent branding across all platforms builds trust and recognition.
  3. Not Engaging with Your Audience: Social media is a two-way street. Engage with your audience through comments, messages, and reviews to boost trust and loyalty. For example, a holistic pet clinic that interacts with pet owners on social media builds a strong community and positions itself as a trusted authority in pet care.
  4. Neglecting Mobile Optimization: With more than half of web traffic coming from mobile devices, a non-mobile-friendly site can turn potential clients away. A wellness spa noticed a drop in online bookings and realized their site wasn't optimized for mobile. After redesigning it, they saw a significant increase in mobile bookings. Conversely, a tech service provider that ignored mobile optimization struggled with high bounce rates and low engagement.
  5. Failure to Adapt to New Trends: The marketing landscape is always evolving. Sticking to outdated methods can leave you behind. Embrace new trends and technologies, like video marketing, to stay relevant. A doggie daycare using Instagram stories to showcase daily activities attracted new clients, while a wellness center offering virtual classes expanded their reach and client base.
