Building your seven-figure brand using YouTube and Facebook

 

“When you love what you do, you never work a day in your life.”

 

Michelle Cunningham

 

 

In today’s podcast, Brooke has a discussion with Michelle Cunningham who is a  full-time network marketing coach who serves people all over the world and helps them enhance and build their business using video.

 

Michelle and her two brothers were raised by a single mom. She comes from very humble beginnings and so much of her early life defined who she was. She was super shy, introverted and never wanted to stand out. She paid her way through college and landed her dream job out of school as a pharmaceutical sales rep., but didn’t love it. When she was 23 she signed up with a network marketing company, but didn’t do much with it for six years.

 

“Anybody can be broken and stuck and get unstuck.” - Michelle Cunningham.

 

Michelle found a lady that lived in her town who sold for the same company and asked her if she could show her how to do the network marketing thing. She was not her upline, she was just a nice person who didn't get paid on Michelle’s success, but she mentored her. Six months later, she went from a team of just her and no customers to a team of 50.

That lady was her mentor and cheerleader and that changed so much for her. Sometimes you just need someone to show you what to do. 

 

Michelle was an introvert and was always so worried what people thought about her, but she now runs by the saying, “what other people think about me is none of my business.” She believes we should all think like that, but there are different levels of self-esteem that we have as we're moving up the ladder. What she uncovered is that You Tube is super safe because nobody knows you have a You Tube channel unless you tell them.

 

Another super cool thing about YouTube is you can create a video, sound really dominant and then edit out your dumb parts. You don’t have to have elaborate equipment to do a video, just use your laptop and add some music in the background.

 

Creating a You Tube channel is another tip for success. You may not know exactly what to do on your channel right away, but just get started. And then after six videos evaluate and be like, this is not my thing. If it’s not your thing, ust switch it up to what is.

 

“It doesn't have to be perfect. It's sometimes throwing spaghetti on a wall, just get it out there, see what happens.” - Michelle Cunningham 

 

Some people think that it needs to be perfect and everything needs to be polished before it puts out there because no one's going to take you seriously if it's not. That's really not the case because people  fall in love with your message and they're going to fall in love with you and they love the vulnerability.
