In today's episode, Micah is joined by Josh and Chelsea Vatter of Vatter Hauling, a local New Holland business that handles junk removal of all forms. Since starting the company, Josh and Chelsea have seen most of their business come from Facebook, so they take this opportunity to share what DID work for them with Facebook and what DIDN'T work for them with other forms of marketing. They discuss their misadventures in print marketing and marketing on Instagram as well as the importance of posting consistently, utilizing Facebook groups, and learning your business's market.

This week on the #IHateSocialMedia Podcast, Micah chats with Pastor Matt Meservy of Christian Fellowship Church about his thoughts and experiences surrounding marketing for a church or any other non-profit. Matt shares the importance of marketing and being present on social media as a church or non-profit as well as the need to be authentic on social media and focus on the things that make you who you are as an organization. He also discusses the great opportunity to preserve authenticity that addressing negativity on a public forum provides.

In this week's episode, Micah moves to the interview seat while his wife, Rebecca Durling, takes the role of interviewer to ask him questions about his experiences as a small business owner! Micah covers the whys and hows of starting and running his own video production company as well as the many obstacles he's encountered along the way, such as customer acquisition, buying a second small business, and navigating both busy and quiet seasons. He also covers a topic that most certainly has NOT been an obstacle: being business partners with his wife. 😉
