I’ve been receiving a lot of questions about how to get engagement on social media. People say, “Jasmine, people aren’t engaging with my content,” or “What can I do to get more likes, comments, or followers?” But here’s the thing: I’ve said it all before.

I’m sitting in my living room in front of a bright ring light, palms sweaty. My hair and makeup were done with extra care, and I’m wearing my favorite green dress that JD says is his favorite. #thanksbae Everything is perfect, the cameras are rolling… I’m ready to go live with Gary Vaynerchuk.

Have you ever wondered what you would need to start a monthly subscription for your business? As most of you know, every Wednesday I go live on Facebook and answer questions from my audience. In this week’s video (which I’m including at the bottom of this post if you wanna check it out), I was […]

I get countless inquiries in my inbox every week asking if I’m hiring. When they come in, I get a little defensive—like, I don’t know you.
