🎙️ THE BASIC B PODCAST RECAP: JUNE 2024 🎙️

My friend & podcast producer Leah Bryant recommended doing a podcast recap & I'm very here for this! So... Here's what happened that's podcast-related in the month of June.

---

✨ THE BASIC B PODCAST IS…

The Basic B Podcast is the weekly show service providers (solopreneurs AND supported CEOs) count on to bring them simple, organic marketing strategies—with a side of sass.

Hosted by SEO & case study copywriting queen Brittany Herzberg (AKA the Kevin Bacon of the online business world). She’s mastered the 3 S’s of sales:

• SEO (get the right people to your site)

• Storytelling (hook & engage them)

• Social Proof (give them the feeling of working with you before they actually do)

…and she wants you to master them too!

You’re sure to always walk away with smart strategies, a pep in your step, & a smile on your face!

✨ THE JUNE PODCAST EPISODES ARE AVAILABLE TO BINGE

🎧 How Justin *Finally* Got Headlines w/ Personality *and* SEO

(Writing SEO-friendly headlines doesn’t come easily to everyone. But! You do NOT need to sacrifice your personality or brand voice in order for headlines to “work” for SEO. I get into this big time in this case study interview w/ Justin Blackman! Psst, you know you can get an SEO Packet just like he did, right?)

🎧 The Best Way to Learn SEO in 2024 w/ Matt Diamante

(Let’s just say many people in my circles were STOKED to see an episode with Matt & me! I was so surprised by the reaction. But really? I shouldn’t have been! Matt has really made a name for himself in the online world. He’s made SEO fun, accessible, & approachable! I would know! I call him frequently to get his opinion or advice. That’s what this episode is all about, friend!)

🎧 What’s Possible When You Improve Your SEO

(When one of your friends points out that you haven’t really addressed something on your podcast—you listen! This episode is entirely thanks to that friend. (You know who you are 😉) Tune in to hear most—but not all—of the ways SEO can change your business & your life!)

🎧 Sitemaps & How to Find a Good SEO Expert w/ Samantha Mabe

(Recently, there were a string of posts on social media that inspired me to reach out to Samantha. Neither of us could believe what we were seeing or hearing regarding SEO pros, support, or advice. So… we brought that convo to the podcast! It does not need to be intimidating, costly, or confusing AF to get SEO help. Listen as we share what we mean!)

🎧 [Quick Win] How to Submit a Sitemap to Google Search Console

(This is another training I’ve teased for a bit! If you’ve heard the term “sitemap” but are scared $***less, don’t worry! I’ve got you. You can listen to the recording, check the transcript, or watch the quick YouTube video tutorial. Sitemaps don’t gotta be scary, friend!)

🎧 Copywriting: Business Basics + Best Practices w/ Sara Gillis

(Entering the world of online business & copywriting can… be a lot! In this episode, my business buddy Sara Gillis & I chat about starting a business from scratch, our marketing favorites (and flops), & some copywriting best practices! We even touch on blogging & SEO, so you know I was a happy girlie!)

🎧 Guided Tour of the Blogging w/ SEO Email Course

(I run this email course at least 3 times each year. And truthfully, I wanted to have a resource I could share with people all year long! In this solo episode, I take you through the entire course experience so you know who it’s for, what it’s like, & what results you can expect when you join.)

🎧 The Best CRM: HoneyBook vs Dubsado w/ Colie James

(*Warning* Fun times ahead! Colie & I basically created the funnest listening experience for our business owning buddies. Step 1: Listen to our episode about HoneyBook vs Dubsado. Step 2: Read the companion blog Colie wrote. Step 3: Listen to the Part-2 episode on her show. Step 4: Check out the completed HoneyBook setup case study—I wrote it & Colie brought it to life!)

🎧 Walkthrough of DFY Offers w/ Brittany Herzberg

(Since these cuties have gotten a facelift thanks to Colie, I figured it was time to share the updated client experience workflow with you! Have a listen & reach out if you’re ready to jump on the benefits SEO brings business owners!)
