Melissa J Scott - Branding, Connection & Online Marketing

Is your fear of speaking to camera holding you back? Do you think things like “nobody wants to hear from me” and “who am I to speak in front of all those people?” And the big one… “what if somebody says something negative about me!” The sad thing is, a lot of business owners live in fear of looking foolish when the reality is, we spend a whole lot more time thinking about ourselves than what anyone else does!

And this punishing lack of self-belief is really holding us all back in personal and business growth. Imposter syndrome… no confidence… whatever you want to call it, you can do your head in with all of the negative talk. So how about you stop it now and push out of the comfort zone and take our 5 days of training to actually start believing in yourself a bit more and creating the kind of compelling content your audience will really relate to.

Here’s what one of my clients said about getting past her fear of creating video and getting personal in her marketing:
“The turning point for me was how Melissa was able to help me really understand my message and my why and how my services can help people. She really helped me to understand how connecting with my audience, and in particular, addressing their pain points and being authentic and open and honest is not only an incredible way to make more sales and have people sign up to my email list, but it also made me feel incredibly good doing it, like I was really helping people and connecting with them.

Under Melissa’s expert guidance I have now gone from someone who avidly would avoid the camera to someone who can star in and produce my own marketing videos, send them out to the world, engage with the public and be proud of what I am doing. I have noticed such a jump in my overall confidence... now that I am consistently delivering video content.”
Kellie Wright, Dairy Free Store We can do this for you too.

You will be:
• Far more confident in your own skin
• You’ll get really clear on what to say so you don’t waffle
• Tips on how to deal with nerves and self-limiting beliefs – we’ll get you out of your head and far more comfortable in front of the camera
• And show you easy to execute presenter tricks that will make you look like a pro, but still be likeable, and even more important, create a genuine connection between YOU and your audience

And it will only take 5 days to implement. But first you have to sign up and commit. Are you ready to do that for your personal and your business growth? We start on Wednesday so you literally have hours to take the leap and do this. www.connectionmarketing.online/video-confidence ... See MoreSee Less

Thanks to everybody for your wonderful support on Thanks to everybody for your wonderful support on my music single release this week. Your comments and shares have been wonderful. The music industry is BRUTAL, it’s age-ist, overcrowded and fickle, so I get right now I’m in a nice safe love bubble on this page! The goal is to get maximum exposure, build a loyal fanbase and to keep releasing our music to a worldwide audience - all while running my creative agency of course! It takes a bit of bravery to openly wish for that, putting myself right out there when the traditional expectation is that I’m a chick approaching 50 who gave up singing a long time ago, so haven’t I left my run a bit late?! Nope. My mantra has always been you’re as ‘old’ as you choose to be. And I feel better now then when I was 30! There are so many people of all ages creating wonderful things, so here we go!! This is a pic of my favourite people I out celebrating Wednesday night after I became a bonafide Spotify artist. Usually I forget to celebrate myself. I just move on to the next thing and don’t make a fuss over me. Well I’m turning over a new leaf there too! So what’s on your list of things that you’d always wished you’d done? (Maybe my posts might even be triggering you a bit.) Pull that list out, dust it off and go for it. I had no clue I’d be doing this 6 months ago. I love how life just creates opportunities and reminds you what’s important to you... And to just have a go x Ps, if you haven’t subscribed to our YouTube channel, it would help us greatly with the algorithms. The link is on the bio. Plenty more coming out in the coming months! #over40andfabulous #leadsinger #collabrats #alternativerockmusic #businessowner #personalbrand #personalbranding #liveyourbestlife
NEW MUSIC VIDEO OUT NOW, LINK IN BIO Just wow... I NEW MUSIC VIDEO OUT NOW, LINK IN BIO Just wow... I'm now a music creator (with the genius of my co-writer/composer James Lopes and producer Tim Grose), a published artist on all the major channels and have our first music video out so I guess that makes me a recording artist! What I set out to do at age 17 when I came to the 'big smoke' from the bush has finally happened at age 49. Pretty grateful for this opportunity and pretty damn impressed with all the songs we've written which we'll release over the coming months and our album Sirens Calling in early 2021. So please have a listen - we're a symphonic rock kind of vibe (the link is below!) and if it's your thing, I'd love you to take the time to help us grow an audience as music is a brutal business. Subscribe to our channels, pop us into your playlists and even share with your mates if you think it's to their liking. We love the love so thanks so much for all of the wonderful support we've already received and so many kinds words. I really hope this inspires so many people that are hitting the 50 mark in age that want to get out of their cocoons and give life a good shake. We're not here for a long time, so make your mark and make it wonderful! (Many thanks to Gervais, Olli, Liberty and Dane for your expertise in shooting the video) x #over40andfabulous #leadsinger #femalevocalist #symphonicrock #hardrock #alternativerock #alternativerockmusic #womenofrock #liveyourbestlife #liveyourdreams #collabrats

FINDING YOUR VOICE IN ALL THE NOISE Something craz FINDING YOUR VOICE IN ALL THE NOISE Something crazy happened in 2020. When we were forced into lockdown and my friends did jigsaws, binge-watched Netflix and learned how to cook exotic dishes... with all the spare time I literally found my own singing voice again through an amazing musical creative project with co-writer and composer James Lopes. What you probably don’t know is that 30 years I was a wide-eyed young girl at 17 who jumped on a train from Temora in the Riverina and came to Sydney to begin an exciting new independent life, and my main goal was to become a singer in a band! 6 months later that dream was realised and I played gigs most weekends up and down the east coast around Sydney, but by the age of 19 for a whole stack of personal reasons that dream was squashed and I let it go. What followed were 2 decades of voice problems, nodules and severe huskiness (so no, that husky voice I used to have isn't actually normal!) Fast forward 30 years and quite accidentally, James and I were jamming for fun one lockdown weekend with my new keyboard and his new guitar, and we wrote a song… and another and the creativity just flowed out of us! And the #musicproject @collab_rats_official was born. So why am I telling you this? Because: a) I’m passionate as hell about anything creative! b) I'm still a designer/marketer/speaker/podcaster... so don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. You can just add singer/songwriter! And c) I have spent the past few months really diving deep into myself and my psychology to understand how I literally lost my voice for all those years, and learning what I needed to do now to make sure I kept it. FINDING OUR VOICE is so relevant to so many of us 'busy business owners'. We are great at what we do, we are applauded for working our arses off to the point of burn out, and we keep ourselves extremely busy in execution mode and the day to day of what we do. But how many of us actually realise that we have the potential to have an influential voice in our industries? It’s more important than ever to be heard right now. #over40andfabulous #businessewoman #findyourvoice #personalbrand #connectionmarketing #tellyourstory #findyourself
Weekends are for... Trying new things! My friend h Weekends are for... Trying new things! My friend has been encouraging me to try pole dancing for a while now (she’s damn good at it and so fit!) so I figured I’d give it a try. It’s so athletic and very feminine. I loved it! If you want to check out my short clip, you can see it in my stories! Turns out I’m pretty good at spinning!

I love shooting podcast episodes for my Connected I love shooting podcast episodes for my Connected Podcast because I learn so much! If you're outwardly successful but inwardly not feeling it... this is for you. It's a really honest discussion around choosing the life you want. It’s true that most business owners and high performing humans are either stressed out, maxed out, burnt out or just trying to keep up with where they believe they SHOULD be in life, not where they actually WANT or CHOOSE to be. And if you were to ask most people what actually makes them happy… they most likely couldn’t even tell you because they don’t allow themselves to have those deeper conversations because it’s too confronting to admit for all your ‘success’, you aren’t actually happy in a deep or authentic sense. It almost feels wrong to say that something is missing when you outwardly have so much. “All these things that trigger us are actually gifts from the universe saying if you really truly want to be happy, let go of what’s stopping you right now. It’s not some future destination, all those things are nice and when it happens you think, cool, that’s the answer! But it’s not. True happiness resides within and it’s an energetic state of being and it can only be realised and experienced when you let go of the personal self.” Phil Lee If you want to listen in or watch, check it out in the bio. #consciousbusiness #consciousawareness #businessowner #businessowners #personaldevelopment #connectionmarketing #worklifebalance #smallbusinessowner
QUESTION... ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT YOU DO? QUESTION... ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT YOU DO? And if you are, do you let that passion and excitement show through in your marketing? Because that is what people connect with. I spent 2 hours on a marketing coaching call yesterday with a client and he absolutely loves what he is doing for his clients. His services change lives. He works with tradies and he’s giving them back 12-20 hours a week to be more productive. That’s helping relationships (maybe even saving marriages!), definitely helping mental health which is a huge problem for many guys and helping people to just enjoy their businesses again. Tel me that’s not exciting and worth talking about! And yet nearly every business has a story like this where they know their services really makes a wonderful impact on another human’s life, but we’re too modest to share. How do you touch peoples lives and make them better? Market around that. Tell that story. Are you an accountant that has recently pulled somebody out of financial despair? Are you a lawyer that protected somebody from a great injustice? Are you a health professional or a Counsellor or healer that helps people to live a better life every day?! These are the stories that people connect with and remember you for. And of course, if you need help trying to unravel these stories and show them in the best possible light, you know how to get in touch. #marketingstrategy #connectionmarketing #relationshipmarketing #businessowner #businesswoman #smallbusinessowner #personalbranding #over40andfabulous
It’s been a wonderful couple of days of deep con It’s been a wonderful couple of days of deep connections and checking in with great business women. Today I met up in person for the first time with my business mentoring group that the wonderful @suzyjacobs created in her program Activator Academy. If you want to start living more consciously and create the kind of life and business you want by design and not chance, you should check it out. The nicest thing about the program is that it’s all about you. If you’ve paid tens of thousands of dollars already for coaching and it didn’t give you the results you wanted... maybe you need to work on yourself first. We all have unconscious blocks that can cripple you and any kind of growth until you work through them. It really has changed my life.

When business friends become solid girlfriends. Oh When business friends become solid girlfriends. Oh how I’ve missed our regular lunch meetings! (Zoom catch ups just aren’t the same as in person.) It’s so easy to get caught up in the day to day of your business, particularly in the middle of a pandemic and now a recession. It was so great to catch up and share the pivots we’ve had to make, how we’ve adapted and grown in other areas, and all the things that make us richer for knowing each other. When we met all those years ago at a business workshop I had no clue the greatest gift from that event would be our friendship and all the support we’ve given each over the years. What a ride it’s been, so proud of how far we’ve come and how big the next few years are going to be! - was this seriously the only photo we took of us?!

It’s so cool to be aiming for the stars with you It’s so cool to be aiming for the stars with your own dreams, and to be able to share that with your kids. Isn’t that what life is all about?

Long weekends are awesome for catching up on podca Long weekends are awesome for catching up on podcasts and reading... So thought I'd share my recent podcast episode about working around self belief, your mindset and manifesting, in particular marketing your business through your personal brand. So many confident people freeze up when the video camera presses record, or if they have to write a blog about their opinion or a personal social media post... Here are some tips that might make it a bit easier for you and to gain some understanding around what is going on for you when you freeze. Chances are, you have a belief from early childhood that you don't even resonate with, so it's high time to let that stuff go!

What an end to an awesome day celebrating Dane’s What an end to an awesome day celebrating Dane’s final days of school... my greatest achievement in life will always be creating and nurturing these three young men. It’s a bit strange being the Centre of their universe for decades and now knowing they need you less and less, but that’s the measure of realizing you actually did a really good job! And it’s also exciting to all be starting new chapters in our lives. I’m so proud of who they are and watching them grow and take charge of their futures. I love these moments when we come together to support each other and just know that no matter what life throws at us... we will always have each other. I never feel alone. So much love xo #graduation2020 #lovemysons #smallbusinessowner #businessmum
Proud mama-bears! Our youngest but tallest cubs ar Proud mama-bears! Our youngest but tallest cubs are graduating from Year 12 so we thought we’d re-enact the same brekkie together when they started kindy together! It was touch and go there at times for many years with these two. The school system as it stands isn’t for everyone and I have many opinions on how our current model stifles independence, true leadership and individuality but I’ll share for another day! Today is about celebrating a whole new chapter for them and us business mums who have at times held our businesses back because being present for our kids is so important. But... they’re about to fly off into the world so it’s only fitting I do the same! Looking forward to what the future holds for everybody.

It's a varied and fun life when you're in the crea It's a varied and fun life when you're in the creative industry! Last night we were fighting the crazy winds in front of the video camera in the city for a music video shoot (see @collab_rats_official if you want more info on that) and today I'm back behind the camera checking out a local spot for a client's video and photoshoot early next week. What we all have in common is the absolute need to get ourselves in front of our audience. And video is the best way to do it. Whether you're a musician, a performer or a business owner, how will people develop an interest in what you do unless you can find compelling reasons to get in front of them, entertain them and enlighten them with what you are an expert at? Being a business owner is really no different to being a rockstar. Next week we're shooting for a professional services business, because he recognises that most people in his industry just blend into one. And if you don't market yourself like a rockstar in your industry and stand out, you're just another faceless person in a crowded market. Want to talk about how video and developing a strong personal brand can help your business to stand out for what you're already very good at? #marketingstrategy #personalbranding #videoforbusiness #connectionmarketing
Location scouting is one of the many fun benefits Location scouting is one of the many fun benefits to running an agency. We’re always on the lookout for amazing new locations for ourselves and our clients. The next time you need to update your photos or video, think twice before heading off for the usual beach photos or boardroom shots. Take the time, really think about your brand, your audience, and what message you want to convey. If you really want to stand out and be memorable, it all begins with the images and footage you put out. They speak for you and when screen time is so precious, can paint a vivid picture of what your business and you are all about. If you need help with your next photoshoot or video shoot, you know what to do... #photoshootideas #videoshooting #creativeagencysydney #connectionmarketing #smallbusinesstips

Our first single Alibi is coming out towards the end of October. Lots of things to plan and execute before then, including a photo shoot, video shoot and some serious marketing and social media strategizing. Love being our own client and practicing what we preach!

DRUM ROLL PLEASE...!! INTRODUCING COLLAB-RATS A ye DRUM ROLL PLEASE...!! INTRODUCING COLLAB-RATS A year ago I was creating my Rockstar Personal Branding Marketing course… Fast forward a year and right now James and I are in the thick of musical creativity and recording our first album together as CollabRats – an orchestral alt rock outfit we created over the past few months. Talk about serendipitous! What you might not know about me is that before I went to design school, I was a singer (I sang around Sydney pubs and clubs with my band many years ago!), and now I’m a songwriter, collaborating with the genius that is my partner, James Lopes and writing some insanely good material that we are extremely proud of. James is already an accomplished musician, a guitarist/songwriter that has toured all over the US, Canada and England back in the day supporting major acts like INXS and Deep Purple. So… it seems quite natural that when time and space opened up to us, we went back to our first passion in life which is to create music. And here we are! Bursting at the seams to launch our first song in the next month or so with an amazing video clip and stunning sound production through Lord Tim, and then an album in early 2021 once it’s all recorded, produced and finalised. If you’re keen to watch our progress, come over to our official CollabRats page and you can enjoy the journey with us, because that is where I’ll mainly post about our music. @collab_rats_official We’ve been keeping pretty tight-lipped about this while we worked on our material, but it’s nearly launch time… so I thought I’d let you in on the excitement. We already have a major label interested in what we’re doing, so as they say… only the sky is the limit!!! #collabrats #altrock #alternativerock #orchestralrock
