Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: How to Grow and Monetize Your Social Media Channels

[1:47] – Zach shares something that he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.

• Many people think that you have to spend money to have money; however, Zach believes that the more time you put in, the more time you can learn.

[3:50] – How does one make their social media content go viral?

• With great content comes more growth.
• Everybody tries to go viral – the more you share, the more you are vulnerable and authentic. People can relate to your story.

[6:38] – What are some growth hacks and strategies to grow your social media?

• Organic growth is harder to achieve nowadays, but you can do a semi-organic growth with engagement groups.
• Engagement groups are a network of influencers or celebrities in your niche; liking and commenting on your content several times throughout the day helps you get more exposure
• Avoid using automation; use engagement groups and do it manually.

[8:49] – Zach shares a growth hack that he has seen work on social media.

• A lot of people do live content with big influencers and that drives traffic and followers.
• Figure out a way to pick interests from a celebrity or influencer who has a massive following in the same industry
• Offer them value and make a trade.

• Make sure that your profile and bio are optimized.
• Have a call to action – a link in your bio that directs your targeted audience to wherever you want them to learn more about you and your offer.

[15:45] – How can we leverage our following to connect with anyone?

• Numbers matters. The more followers you have on social media, the more influential and powerful people you will connect with.

[19:51] – Zach’s parting piece of guidance and call to action.

• Social Media is a way to grow and monetize your product and services and get your name out in the world. You can show people what you want to show on social media.
