The 3M Strategy by Miko

00:01:00
Speaker
What's your motivation and message to your audience?
00:01:03
Speaker
Everyone watching right now, Miko, start now with Miko.
00:01:07
Speaker
It's hard to think.
00:01:09
Speaker
World peace!
00:01:10
Speaker
Okay, so this is what I always told me about my mentor in relation with podcasting.
00:01:20
Speaker
He told me, just remember the 3M.
00:01:24
Speaker
Sabi ko, what is 3M?
00:01:26
Speaker
Hindi naman manok or adobo manok.
00:01:30
Speaker
Sabi niya, remember your 3M.
00:01:33
Speaker
The first M, your message.
00:01:36
Speaker
So who is the people?
00:01:37
Speaker
Yung inahanap pong people.
00:01:40
Speaker
So ano yung message mo para sa kanila?
00:01:44
Speaker
And then you find the market.
00:01:47
Speaker
So which is, ano yung mabibigay mo sa kanila?
00:01:52
Speaker
to solve the problem, the pain of your audience.

Importance of 'True Fans'

00:01:56
Speaker
So you find your own market.
00:01:59
Speaker
You find your niche, your message.
00:02:02
Speaker
And the third one is the media.
00:02:05
Speaker
So which means, where do you see your target market, your audience, ito ba sa TikTok, ito ba sa podcasting, ito ba sa YouTube.
00:02:15
Speaker
So find the good target market, media.
00:02:19
Speaker
Doon mo sila puntahan.
00:02:20
Speaker
Yun ang lagi sa akin sinasabi na nag-motivate sa akin na find yung 3M.
00:02:25
Speaker
Kasi pa is yung get your just one true fan na that tell you stay and refer.
00:02:37
Speaker
Just one true fan na pay, stay and refer and then do it again.
00:02:44
Speaker
Do it again.
00:02:45
Speaker
do it again.
00:02:46
Speaker
Which means, goes to 100,000 true fans.
00:02:48
Speaker
Yun yung blogging sinasabi sa akin.
00:02:52
Speaker
Engage and educate yung audience may understand.
00:02:57
Speaker
Yun.

Family Motivation and Collaboration by Eloy

00:02:58
Speaker
At syempre, motivation is yung every time sa morning, pag gumagawa ka ng podcasting mo yung content mo, feel mo na nakakatulong ka sa iba by your content as well.
00:03:11
Speaker
Ate Eloy.
00:03:13
Speaker
Ako, simple lang motivation ko.
00:03:15
Speaker
Family lagi para sa akin.
00:03:18
Speaker
Family to me is everything.
00:03:19
Speaker
Alam niya, Nese.
00:03:20
Speaker
Pag malgolo yung loob ng bahay namin, ano ako?
00:03:24
Speaker
Hindi mo ako ma-involve.
00:03:27
Speaker
I cannot find my superpowers.
00:03:29
Speaker
And then, yung message ko sa audience is, this is also the same thing yung kanina, yung pinag-uusapan na yung sa competition.
00:03:37
Speaker
Sabi ni Miko, it's mas masaya ngayon kasi parang collaborative, not really siya as...
00:03:44
Speaker
competition, the opinion of your partner, podcast producer, podcast manager, podcaster, etc.
00:03:52
Speaker
You do not look at them as a competition.
00:03:55
Speaker
Right now, I

Brother Bo's 'Co-opetition' Philosophy

00:03:56
Speaker
didn't like that.
00:03:56
Speaker
I heard from a keynote of a brother Bo's wife's husband,
00:04:04
Speaker
They also gone through that specific challenge na nagtataka sila bakit Brother Bo is allowing other book author to promote yung books nila doon sa loob mismo ng fees.
00:04:17
Speaker
Eh, kalabang, deretso kalaban to nila Brother Bo.
00:04:20
Speaker
And then, sinabihan lang sila ni Brother Bo because that's not how we do business.
00:04:25
Speaker
How we do business now is not because we wanted to take down the competition but because we wanted to
00:04:33
Speaker
pull it up and look at it as a co-opetition.
00:04:37
Speaker
So, cooperation and competition, pinag-combine nila.
00:04:41
Speaker
Kasi, mas magandang magawa ng business na hindi ka magpapababa ng ibang tao para tumaas yung ano mo, yung kagandahan ng servisyo mo.
00:04:52
Speaker
So, yun ang aking message sa audience.
00:04:55
Speaker
Take it

Kai on Working from Home and Community Building

00:04:56
Speaker
away, Kai!
00:04:56
Speaker
Okay, so motivation, of course, hindi mo mga wala.
00:05:01
Speaker
Yan syempre yung family, diba?
00:05:02
Speaker
Kasi ako, personally, one of my reasons talaga kung bakit pinush ko na mag-work at home is
00:05:13
Speaker
Kasi before, diba, parang minomotivate ako, tinatanong ako, wala ka bang plans na mag-abroad?
00:05:18
Speaker
Kasi yung ate ko, nag-abroad siya.
00:05:20
Speaker
Actually ngayon, nasa abroad din siya.
00:05:23
Speaker
Pero it's a long story.
00:05:24
Speaker
Pero ayun nga, I'm not against going abroad.
00:05:27
Speaker
Pero if you can build your own
00:05:30
Speaker
If you have a family, why not?
00:05:32
Speaker
For example, these instances of the pandemic, I don't want to be a member because they are with us.
00:05:40
Speaker
You don't think what's going on.
00:05:42
Speaker
I have to still provide, but I'm not a bad person because they are not with us.
00:05:46
Speaker
Another thing is, one of my goals for Podcast Warriors, and of course, the community of podcasting is for us to build an empire of world-class service providers.
00:05:58
Speaker
Because there are still, in other countries, there are still a stigma of Filipino.
00:06:04
Speaker
You just need to have a great rate.
00:06:05
Speaker
There are those things.
00:06:07
Speaker
But that's one of the things that I'm also going to be the motivation.
00:06:11
Speaker
That's why I'm doing what I do.
00:06:13
Speaker
Because, you know, we're world-class.
00:06:17
Speaker
That's it, right?
00:06:19
Speaker
And another thing about that message, what is that?
00:06:23
Speaker
At your audience.
00:06:25
Speaker
Okay, to your audience.

Taking Action and Self-Care

00:06:28
Speaker
Okay, whatever it is that you think you like to do that, you know, is aligned to your goals and to your values, ganyan, gawin mo lang siya.
00:06:38
Speaker
Kasi, hindi ka makakakuha ng sagot if something is suitable for you, if you keep on thinking about it kung okay siya or hindi.
00:06:45
Speaker
Ang results...
00:06:46
Speaker
You need to analyze, not your thoughts.
00:06:50
Speaker
Because when you analyze your thoughts, it's not going to happen.
00:06:53
Speaker
So keep on doing what you do.
00:06:55
Speaker
And analyze if it's something that you are happy doing.
00:07:00
Speaker
If your results are okay.
00:07:02
Speaker
Plus, take care of yourselves.
00:07:04
Speaker
Take care of yourselves.
00:07:05
Speaker
I know that freelancers are really hard working because
00:07:11
Speaker
We want to really build our own business and to acquire more clients.
00:07:15
Speaker
Lalo sa panahon ngayon, we have to remember na kailangan natin iprotect yung sarili natin.
00:07:22
Speaker
Kasi kahit na gano'ng kadaming clients meron tayo, pag tinamaan talaga tayo ng pag-test ng life, we don't want ourselves or our bodies to give up on us.
00:07:34
Speaker
We want them to be our friends, not our enemies.
00:07:37
Speaker
So, yun.
00:07:39
Speaker
And magkatawag ba ako?
00:07:40
Speaker
C,

RA's Work-from-Home Motivation

00:07:42
Speaker
RA.
00:07:42
Speaker
Okay.
00:07:43
Speaker
Motivation.
00:07:45
Speaker
Same din, family din.
00:07:46
Speaker
Since I started working from home full time,
00:07:52
Speaker
I can look after my daughter.
00:07:55
Speaker
So that was 2018, I think.
00:07:59
Speaker
So it was just a continue.
00:08:02
Speaker
But maybe find something that align with values.
00:08:07
Speaker
That's right.
00:08:09
Speaker
Because if, for example, you choose to be a podcast VA, but then you don't want to listen to a podcast,
00:08:19
Speaker
Like, you're burning out, you're editing a show.
00:08:23
Speaker
So, the motivation is money.
00:08:27
Speaker
Maybe it's not a long time for your journey.
00:08:31
Speaker
Because podcasting is more than monetary.
00:08:33
Speaker
I was able to say earlier, you learn.
00:08:35
Speaker
And maybe you'll be able to take care of your business.
00:08:43
Speaker
I'm not a podcaster because I'm a lot of people in their show.
00:08:49
Speaker
So, provide quality and provide solution for your clients.
00:08:54
Speaker
And maybe as a podcaster, I'm not a podcaster because I have a lot of people in life.
00:09:00
Speaker
So, as a podcaster, maybe listen to your audience.
00:09:06
Speaker
And maybe survey or survey on email list because that's what I'm doing with clients.
00:09:11
Speaker
Who really surveyed their audience or subscribers.
00:09:14
Speaker
What is the topic they want to hear so that they have sustainability of the show.
00:09:20
Speaker
So that they continue to listen to their listeners.
00:09:24
Speaker
And they will be more mistaken to share your episodes on their network.
00:09:30
Speaker
That's it.
00:09:31
Speaker
I hope that's right to answer that.

Starting with the End Goal by Mice

00:09:33
Speaker
You know, Mice?
00:09:35
Speaker
Oh my God, hirap na hirap akong sunday yung mga sagot nyo.
00:09:39
Speaker
Hirap na guli.
00:09:40
Speaker
Copy-paste na lang kaya ako.
00:09:42
Speaker
Ayan, copy-paste na lang.
00:09:46
Speaker
Pero hirap talaga, promise.
00:09:48
Speaker
Parang lahat ng sinabi niya, yun din yung motivation.
00:09:52
Speaker
At the same time, yung message ko dun sa mga nandito ngayon.
00:09:55
Speaker
But...
00:09:55
Speaker
If there's one thing, especially nasa Podcast VA Philippines tayo and yung mga members natin are also aspiring podcast producers, siguro ang message ko sa kanila is start with the end goal in mind.
00:10:08
Speaker
So if you're someone who wants to start to be in this business ng podcast production, start ka muna dun sa one step na dapat mong gawin...
00:10:18
Speaker
to move your service forward.
00:10:20
Speaker
Because if you think about it right now, that you have money, that you have a team that you will only get overwhelmed and maybe later you will get the analysis paralysis.
00:10:32
Speaker
Just like right now, assess if you're already there and you think about what is the next step I should do for me to move from this stage to this stage.
00:10:41
Speaker
What are we?
00:10:42
Speaker
Like baby steps so we can do more actions towards our goal.
