My Strategy? Simple: Swing from the mightiest vine, make the loudest banana-good noise, and be the biggest, baddest Ape in the jungle! For those who missed my previous chest-beating posts, I’ve built up quite the local news outlet here in my jungle. But soon, my family and I are swinging to a whole new jungle! 🦍 Now, I need to shake up the local brand scene and get the party started for the local business monkeys! I’ve already named my sweet new brand (tastier than a bunch of ripe bananas 🍌), and now it’s time to introduce my Skool group to the local biz monkeys. Yep, helping small business owners in the U.S. stand out, collect more bananas (money), save time, and climb to new heights in their businesses is what we are going to do! Here are the 8 Branches to Reach the Tree-tops! Branch 1: The Mail Chimp Pro (Because silly monkeys need emails too!) - 🦧 Set up SPF for 4 domains (2 Gmail, 2 Microsoft) - 🦧 Set up DKIM for those domains - 🦧 Develop a cold email strategy to swing into inboxes with style - 🦧 Write a cold email template that’ll make ‘em go “Ooooh Ooooh Aaaah Aaaah!” - 🦧 Build a juicy prospect list for cold emailing (setting myself up for some ape-sized success here) Branch 2: Go Bananas, It’s Game-Time! - 🦍 Build the main landing page for the local community newsletter (with extra banana-flavored fun) - 🎮 Kick it off with a local video game to make the other monkeys curious (general locals) - 🦍 Add ways for business owners to connect with me (because every ape needs a troop!) - 🦍 Add ways for visitors to connect with the group (community’s everything in this jungle!) Branch 3: Get the Swinging Party Off the Ground! - 🦧 Develop content for the group in Google Docs and record some “ape-solutely” awesome videos - 🦧 Set up automation (so my banana-gathering can run while I swing through the jungle)\ Branch 4: Massive Grunts and Gorilla Roars! (Ooooh Ooooh Ahhh Ahhh Time) - 🦍 Engage with the Facebook community, getting ‘em to join the troop! - 🦍 Launch “What’s Your Favorite Food Place?” posts (because even apes gotta eat) - 🦍 Begin the brand-building process on Facebook – let the banana talk spread far and wide!

Teachable Moment: Capture the Home Field Advantage... (I've built this right into the APES model for you. You're in the right place 😉) Hello to my Apes fans! In this video, I share a teachable moment about taking control of relationships and gaining a home field advantage using social media. I discuss the importance of capturing relationships, automation for building lists, and engaging outside the platform. No specific action requested, but valuable insights shared.
