How to form an advisory board for your small business

Hi everyone, We haven’t released a full podcast episode in a while, but I want to tell you why. This has actually been a strategic decision, we realised that podcasts are a very competitive industry and it’s hard to get seen on those platforms. But the good news is we decided to pivot.We had started releasing the podcast on YouTube, because that’s SEO optimised. And then something happened… ….we got traction, we started growing our subscribers, we even got some sponsors! So YouTube is where we are continuing to invest our time. The good news is you get the same Candid content from us, the same business advice and arguably even more juicy details because we can show you all the visuals!If you have been enjoying our podcast so far, please support us by subscribing on Youtube - every new follower we get helps us gain sponsors so we can keep doing this content for you! And now for this episode. Of course it’s on YouTube but this one makes a juicy condensed podcast episode too. How to form an advisory board. We’ve done it for us - no investment, no equity given away, no payments. It’s all voluntary and incredibly helpful. You can make it happen for your business, it was the single best thing we did for our strategy this year.

You don't need an agency to make money on ads

Happy Candid Founders Friday!We give you a candid view of a growing business. This week are saying something that a LOT of agencies out there will not like (sorry), but we do not think you need an agency to make paid ads work. We have used multiple agencies and freelancers up until now, and the best results we get ourselves (and guess what, it saves us money). In this episode Lucy asks all the important questions a business owner might have about paid ads:* Facebook or Google? Which is better?* Should I just turn my ads off when they aren’t working?* What's happened to attribution?* How much should my ad budget be?* What types of ads should we run?* What other platforms should we be using?Andy has been successfully running our paid ads himself and so has all the answers for how any small business owner could run their own paid ads. Enjoy!
