Easy Holiday Content Ideas
Welcome to The Spark Show! In this episode, we’ll be covering:
- My top tips on creating holiday content
- How to get brands to work with you during the holidays
- How to amplify the reach of your holiday content
Who’s already creating holiday content? Thanksgiving is coming up in a week and Christmas is just five weeks away.
My first tip is to plan and shoot ahead of time. A lot of companies start creating their holiday content in September. That’s when the press and media start sourcing for their holiday articles and stories.
The second tip is to repurpose content. I’ve used photos from previous years and so when you’re planning shoots, know that you can repurpose your content and use them over and over again.
My third tip is to go to places that have holiday themed decorations and lights like malls, buildings with a Christmas tree, museums and plays so you don’t have to create a whole holiday set.

How to Find Your Focus
Welcome to The Spark Show! In this episode, I’ll be covering:
- How to find your focus as an influencer
- What you should be focused on depending on what stage you’re on
- My top tips to keep your focus when you get distracted
How to find your focus as an influencer:
- Know your priorities
When you know what’s important, you will prioritize what you need to do first. This comes with planning and preparation. One thing I like to do is to break down my goals by year, then by quarter, then by month, by week and then by day.
If you know what the priority is for that day, then you can plan your day and you’re not spending your time figuring out what you’re supposed to be doing.
- Focus on one thing at a time
Multi-tasking is NOT a good thing. Someone somewhere said it was good to do as many things as you can at a time. But what that does is it takes away the focus from the ONE thing that you’re supposed to be...

How to Be Your Own Producer
Welcome to The Spark Show! On this episode, I'm sharing some of my favorite tips and tricks for producing your own photoshoot.
I know it can seem like a lot, and sometimes you wonder HOW you'll ever be able to create the beautiful content you see online, but I promise, everyone can do it.
Even if you're just starting out, or doing this on your own, you can be a producer.
Here are the things you need to consider:
Concept
First, you have to think about your concept. Usually I do this around whatever product I am posting about for the campaign. Let's say it's yoga pants. So the concept is me going to a yoga class. With that, I made sure to take a pic of me in the yoga pants, with a sports bra, my yoga mat and my water bottle.
The concept of a photoshoot is really just the story behind the shoot. A great place to get ideas is Pinterest! You can pin your ideas onto a page (kinda like a mood board) and then you can show that to your photographer (or your...
How to Run Your Business While Traveling
Welcome to The Spark Show! In this episode, I’m going to talk about how to run your biz while traveling. I just got back from a month-long trip to Europe where I was in Paris, Southern Spain, and Southern Italy and it wasn’t a vacation. I was working while traveling and let me tell you - it was quite a challenge. I wanna share with you the challenges, what I wish I should have done differently and what I would do the next time that I’m traveling over a longer period of time.
First of all, let’s just talk about what I mean by traveling and working at the same time. As influencers, we’re content creators so wherever we go, we’re creating content. We’re still showing up every single day on social, on stories, making sure our weekly content goes out. If you have a digital offer, you’re still showing up for that unless you’ve planned it out where you’re not at the time. But in my case, I was still doing weekly...
To Video or Not To Video...That Is the Question
Welcome to The Spark Show! In this episode, I’m going to be talking about if you should use video or not as one of your platforms. If you’re like me, you’ve been hearing this a lot.
“You’ve gotta use video.”
“Video is where it’s at.”
“Video is the future.”
And I get it, video is awesome and it’s everywhere and it seems like everyone is doing it.
But I also see blogs still out there. I still have a blog and do research online through blogs. And I also see a lot of people doing podcasts. I've got one as well!
The problem is, someone is always going to be saying something and you don’t really know who to listen to and what to do. And maybe you’re like me where you’ve tried to do everything - the Youtube, blog, podcast, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest and all the things and you get so overwhelmed that you don’t end up doing anything.
I don’t want you to...
