On this weeks episode, I sat down with my very talented nephew, Alex Swetnam. Alex is the owner and creator of www.TheCreatorsFactory.com. Here Alex teaches people how to make social media a career. In his own words, "The key to success in social media and creative pursuits is building connections with your audience, balancing authenticity and playing the game, investing in education and business, focusing on long-term goals, and creating content that reflects your personality and purpose." Alex takes us on his journey from when he dropped out of high school to pursue online business, grew his girlfriend's Instagram account to 355k followers, and now teaches others how to do the same through his master class and management company (The Creators Factory), emphasizing the importance of building connections with your audience as a key to success. There is a wealth of knowledge in this episode and I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making this episode. #CommonCentsThePodcast #CommonCents #mytwocents #Podcasting #Podcast #Influencer #Creator #Success #Mindfulness #Gratitude #Influencerdigital #DigitalInfluencer #DallasTx #friscotx #Cigars #Spirits #Creator #TheCreatorsFactory #lifelessons #BrandAmbassador #Coach #SocialMedia #Education #Selfmade #Selftaught
