10
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:26.519
I got them.
11
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:57.039
And here's why your content keeps getting This is so
12
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.600
inspiring as opposed to how can I work with you?
13
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.679
You're not just another business owner and you're an expert.
14
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:08.079
Your clients get insane results and your work changes lives.
15
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:11.959
But online your content's getting used instead of dollars. I
16
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.439
had a client who was posting great content, but she
17
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:18.480
was getting comments like you're so inspiring, this is so amazing.
18
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:20.920
I showed her what to say in her videos without
19
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:23.680
sounding sales y, and you know what happened next. One
20
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:28.640
video brought in sixty thousand weeks. The same thing happened
21
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.560
with Christina and she was booked up for two months
22
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:35.000
with discovery calls. Yes, it's the difference creating content that
23
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:39.599
sells mixed with Bible marketing secrets. Imagine your dream clients
24
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:42.719
finding you every day on social media and not just
25
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:46.599
through referrals. How would that impact your business? If you're
26
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:49.359
a coach or a business owner with five thousand followers
27
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:51.359
or more but you're not sure how to convert them.
28
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:53.560
Or you're a coach where you're cat at ten k
29
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:55.439
months and you want to know how you can scale
30
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.680
to thirty k months and beyond. Comment challenge accepted and
31
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:00.920
let me show you how to create content that sells
32
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:03.799
in the Convert Content to Cash challenge.
33
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.760

to something greater. By applying biblical principles to her content,
51
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:24.280

I'd like to welcome to the Successful Women's Show, miss

Shamara star Cox.
56
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.680
Hi, I'm so happy to be here. Thank you so much. Well,
57
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:49.560
you're reading my bio. I was like, who's that, lady?
58
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.400
I mean, such energy your video. I mean, I just
59
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:56.800
can't wait to find out all about that. But before
60
00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:00.280
we hop into that, I always ask I usually read
61
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.240
the standard bio on my guests. But then I'd like
62
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.919
to have the guests just to tell us. So tell
63
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.879
our viewers and listeners what you want them to know
64
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:14.520
about Shamara star Cocks.
65
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:18.879
Yeah. Absolutely, that's such a great question. So to what
66
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:21.319
to know about me is I'm really just a servant.
67
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:25.360
I'm here to really help people and business owners have
68
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:27.879
a platform where they can make an impact in this world,
69
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:31.439
using their voice, using their videos, using their messaging. That's
70
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:32.439
who I am in a nutshell.
71
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:33.879
Wow.
72
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:38.560
Wow, So now you've built a career as both a
73
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:40.759
TV producer and marketing coach.
74
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:42.319
Now that's phenomenal right there.
75
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:47.079
How did those worlds collide and how does that give
76
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.279
your clients an edge online?
77
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:53.000
Oh yeah, that's such a great question. So I'm gonna
78
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.040
take it back to when I was a kid. But
79
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:57.800
I was a kid about teenage years, I used to
80
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:01.279
write stories and composition notebooks composition nobooks, the black and
81
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.040
white ones. So I used to write stories in it,
82
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.079
I mean like handwritten novels. In these handwritten I had
83
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.600
nine total, and I would have my friends reading the stories.
84
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:13.360
They would love it, they would leave comments, and then
85
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:16.560
I'll just keep writing more. And one of my friends,
86
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:19.519
her father, his friend, heard that I was writing these
87
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:22.560
stories and he loved it. He read the stories, he
88
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:24.600
loved it, and he told me this is good enough
89
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:26.959
to be on television. And so he had me starting
90
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.399
to type the stories out and so from there, the
91
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:33.720
stories actually never made it on television, but he put
92
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:36.319
the seed inside of me that I started to pursue
93
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:41.199
the career in television. So yep, So after going to college,
94
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:45.240
I started to break into the television industry by interning
95
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.199
at different companies and then finally I landed a role
96
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:51.120
as a producer working at a plusing Networks and I
97
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.639
absolutely loved it doing that, But in my final year
98
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.120
at the company, I actually just got to a point
99
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:00.720
where I just got so tired of being overlooked and underpaid.
100
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:04.800
And God had said to me, quit your job, and
101
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:07.639
I thought to myself, no one's doing that, Like it's
102
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:11.000
a scary thing to listen to God tell you this
103
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:14.240
thing where you don't know what's going to happen next.
104
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:18.160
But I remember thinking to myself, this can't be my life,
105
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:20.920
like I can't just be capped here. And so, listening
106
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:23.480
by faith, I actually quit my job. I took some
107
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.839
time to myself with God, and then he led me
108
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.399
to start creating content full time. So around this time
109
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.000
we're at fall twenty twenty, he led me to start
110
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:34.879
creating content full time. And at this point in my life,
111
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:37.800
I thought I was taking a step down from television
112
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:40.040
because as I grew up, all I kept hearing was
113
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:41.759
you want to get your stories on the big screen.
114
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.160
You want to get them on the television. Once you're
115
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.879
on television, you've made it. But here I was feeling
116
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:48.920
like I took a step back in my career because
117
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:52.120
now my content was on social media on a smaller screen.
118
00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:55.519
But my video started going viral and I started reaching
119
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:59.360
more people on their phones than I ever did working
120
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:02.839
in television. And so as my videos were going viral,
121
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.839
follower account was going up, so my bank account was not.
122
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:09.040
So I remember going back to God and asking it, Okully,
123
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.000
we're getting followers, but no money, Like, what do I
124
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:13.959
need to do? And that's when he led me to
125
00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:17.160
actually start my business. So I started my business, and
126
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.040
I was scared, and I'm pretty sure that there are
127
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:21.920
people here now where you're called to take a leap
128
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:25.040
of faith and you're afraid. That's where I was. But
129
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.560
I'm happy I did it anyway because where I am now,
130
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:30.959
I get to use the skills that I learned in
131
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:34.519
television in order to help people to create amazing video
132
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:37.240
content so they can reach their audience and make an impact.
133
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:38.720
So that's pretty much money.
134
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:40.920
Wow.
135
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:45.319
I mean just from doing those I guess journals of
136
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:49.120
you if you will, and someone saw them and plan
137
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:51.480
at that seed, and here we are.
138
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:55.199
Today exactly now.
139
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:59.399
A lot of six and seven figure business owners rely
140
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:00.800
on word of mouth.
141
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.680
So we all know that why do you believe that
142
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:06.199
strategy alone isn't enough?
143
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:10.000
Yeah, that's such a great question, and that's because of
144
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:13.600
how society has shifted today. Like there are so many
145
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:17.639
business owners and so many brands where they're called to
146
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:20.759
reach a larger audience, and in order to reach that
147
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.319
larger audience, social media and online really plays a part.
148
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.600
So oftentimes when I'm running into business owners who are
149
00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:30.839
doing word of mouth referrals in person networking, they can
150
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.840
only reach what so many people, right, maybe fifty people
151
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:36.639
at a networking event, if they're on stage speaking, maybe
152
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:40.039
three hundred people. But the power of videos in social
153
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:43.600
media allows you to reach thousands of people in just
154
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:45.919
a couple of minutes. And that's what I learned. When
155
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:49.159
I first started posting video content, I was reaching twenty
156
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:53.120
five hundred people in just thirty minutes. I would reach
157
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:57.759
five thousand people in one hour, and I'm like, oh wow,
158
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:00.440
just from one video, right, And then and then the
159
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.360
lead flow is so massive as well. I was getting
160
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.600
five to twenty leads in one hour just from one video, right,
161
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:09.679
And so I started teaching my clients how to do
162
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:12.240
the same thing. And what happens is if you have
163
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:15.080
a business that's built on water of about the referrals, congratulations,
164
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:16.559
I'm pretty sure it's doing amazing.
165
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:17.759
And if you're.
166
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:19.960
Ready to accelerate, that's when you take it and you
167
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.519
put it online so that you can reach more people. Now,
168
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:24.600
there are some people where they just feel like, I
169
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:26.480
don't want to be online. I tried social media. It
170
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:29.480
doesn't work. The reality, it does work. You just have
171
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:32.440
to have the right strategies and the right content. Because
172
00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:34.399
what a lot of people don't realize is that social
173
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:37.759
media is marketing. This is just another Yeah, it's a
174
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.759
marketing strategy. And oftentimes some business owners when they're just
175
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:44.120
starting out online, they think, if I just go viral,
176
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:46.879
then I'll be able to reach my people. A lot
177
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:49.320
of times you don't go viral, right, but if you
178
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.559
are consistent in what you're doing, you can still reach
179
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:53.519
the right people in a short amount of time and
180
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:55.360
significantly increase your business.
181
00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:59.840
Wow. Now, when you talk about your videos did so well.
182
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:03.679
They did all listen an hour, and I mean, what
183
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:07.000
were you Was it something special you were doing?
184
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:10.159
Were you like dancing on your head or you know?
185
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:14.039
You know? And I asked that because you know, you
186
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:17.840
know these sometimes these people do these like these TikTok videos.
187
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:20.919
They're doing all this crazy stuff, and all of a sudden,
188
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.039
these videos go viral and I might be sitting there
189
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:28.080
reading something from a book or something that I've written,
190
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:30.879
and they're all like, I don't want to see that,
191
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:32.279
Let's slide to the next one.
192
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:37.480
Okay, Oh my goodness. That's so funny and so true.
193
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:40.200
And because of that, there are a lot of experts
194
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:41.720
where they're like, I don't want to be on Instagram,
195
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:43.039
I don't want to be on TikTok. I don't want
196
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.480
to do videos if I have the lipsync and dance around.
197
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:48.759
So I'll tell you right now, I did not dance
198
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:50.279
and I don't know how to dance on my head.
199
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:52.159
So that is those are not the videos that went
200
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:55.519
viral for me. But the videos that did go viral
201
00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:59.559
are the ones that I am authentically connecting with my audience.
202
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:03.000
Right So I was when I first started, I was
203
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:06.240
heavily using my editing skills, because as I worked in television,
204
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:08.519
I would produce and I would edit videos. So I
205
00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:11.279
would heavily edit my videos, and those are the videos
206
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:14.320
that did really well and people were gravitating towards that.
207
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:17.039
But the videos that made me money were the videos
208
00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:19.320
where I showed up as the expert. But here's the
209
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:21.559
thing about showing up as the expert. You want to
210
00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:23.919
show up as the expert and teach the thing that
211
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:27.919
people want to pay you for. And I think oftentimes
212
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:30.440
people show up and they just teach anything because they're like,
213
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:31.960
I'm the expert. This is what they teld me to do.
214
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:35.639
Put out educational content. I learned very early on that
215
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:37.840
it's not about teaching just anything, but you want to
216
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:39.799
teach the thing that people will actually pay you for.
217
00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:42.440
And so those are the videos that were able to
218
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:44.600
reach a lot of people in a short amount of time,
219
00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:47.399
but then also was able to get sales on top
220
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:50.639
of that. And so when I started doing that, yes,
221
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:53.320
I would do some extra editing, but what I really
222
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:56.399
recognized people or track the two, was my personality because
223
00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:59.320
I learned something a long time ago, right and actually
224
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:02.799
had learned from Jesus. Jesus said, my sheep know my voice,
225
00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:06.200
and another they will not follow where you go exactly.
226
00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:09.120
And so it's the same thing with us. Where there
227
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.159
are people who are attracted to our voice, there are
228
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.120
people who are attached to our voice. And if you
229
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:16.480
just show up in your authenticity, show up in your personality,
230
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:18.440
and you're teaching the thing that they want to pay
231
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:20.519
you for, then you don't have to worry about if
232
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:22.919
it's going viral or not. You really just focus on
233
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:26.279
creating those deep connections with their audience, and then from
234
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.399
creating the connections they want to work with you.
235
00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:29.360
Right.
236
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:33.480
You know, it's funny you said that because that very
237
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:36.440
scripture was on this morning as I was driving to
238
00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:40.519
my exercise class, and here you go and you bring
239
00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:41.480
it up again.
