Ashley Iaconetti got her Masters from Syracuse in broadcasting, but when she was cast on The Bachelor back in 2015 she didn’t know the show would turn her into one of the OG Instagram influencers and give her an audience that she’s still growing. Today, she’s built a business around her social following of over a million engaged fans by sharing raw and authentic moments in her life. She also co-hosts two podcasts.
Today, she joins us to talk about why she thinks living with a relatable image has been the key to her success. She shares how she recorded a unique audition tape for the bachelor and how she felt when she got the acceptance call. She talks about how she started building her brand and growing her audience after leaving The Bachelor. She discusses why she steers clear of showing a curated and polished image of herself on social media, as well as why it’s beneficial to say yes to everything when you’re just starting out. She notes the importance of asking, no matter how far-fetched what you’re asking for seems. She shares why it’s okay to do things for free, and she discusses big life transitions that are coming up in the near future and what is next for both her and Jared.
“There are two rules I live by when it comes to business: early on, say yes to everything; and just ask.”
