What's up, guys? Welcome to Made for Profit, a podcast where we talk business in the shop and help you monetize as a maker.

Each week we'll cover the topics most important to you from marketing and selling your products to winning on social media and everything in between.

I'm Brad Rodriguez, a part-time content creator running Fix This, Build, and my co-host John Mulecky is a full-time furniture maker running metal

and wood custom furniture.

Over the past few years, we've seen the value of bouncing ideas back and forth, and we

want to bring you into the conversation and help you grow along with us.

Welcome to episode eight. Today we're going to be talking about marketing your business online, what platforms you should be on, what do they give you, and how John and I have been using the different platforms for our own businesses. What is up, John?

Not much, brother, you know, just conquering another week. And I'm pretty pumped for this episode.

We've talked a ton about creating content marketing strategies for specifically Instagram for the most part.

And I'm pumped to give the people some insight on how to start winning on all the other places that you've got to start spreading your feet in.

Yeah, I know.

There are actually other places than Instagram, right?

Unbelievable. But yeah, the Internet's pretty vast.

Who knew? Who knew? Well, before we get going any further, I want to go ahead and take this time to thank our new members over that joined the made-for-profit tribe over on Patreon this week.

So we had several folks sign up.

We're actually getting a lot new folks.

We are super excited about this, loving the interaction over there.

And we'll talk a little bit more about that soon.

But we have had some new folks on.
