Positively West Virginia is a 501 (c) 3 Not-for-profit organization dedicated to equipping small businesses and entrepreneurs with tools they need to succeed in West Virginia.

At Positively West Virginia, we believe entrepreneurs and small businesses are the backbone of West Virginia. 

Since November 2017, Positively West Virginia has been on a mission to inspire and equip small business owners, leaders and entrepreneurs – by telling positive, inspirational stories about West Virginia businesses.

Each week we feature in-depth interviews (40-45 minutes) of the actual people leading companies that are doing great things for the communities they serve in West Virginia. We share their stories and the “secrets” behind their success. 

 

Our vision is to inspire people to start and build great companies here in West Virginia.  We encourage young people to stay in West Virginia, we encourage business leaders to move to West Virginia, and we invite those who left the Mountain State to come back and start a business here in West Virginia.

We share these inspirational business stories through our media channels.  We aspire to inspire, educate and promote our audience to do great things in our West Virginia communities.

Powerful multi-channel platform collaboration between InnerAction Media and NCWV Media.

A weekly blog leverages the audio and video content into a search engine-optimized news feature for the www.positivelywv.com web site. This blog is used in social media promotion and will help search ranking for the companies mentioned in the content. It also helps drive traffic to the www.positivelywv.com website, increasing the visibility of the mission.

 

Facebook LIVE video streaming

Each episode is recorded in a professional studio and is live-streamed from Morgantown, WV on the days of the recording.  This enables viewers to get an innovative, “behind the scenes” look into the interview in its raw, un-edited version before it is produced for the podcast channels.  Typically, each of these livestream events receives thousands of video views and significant social media engagement.

Positively West Virginia Small Business Mastermind

Every week, we gather like-minded people around a virtual ZOOM meeting room to help West Virginia small business owners and leaders – WIN.  It’s a chance for our viewers to eaves drop on some of the most relevant business topics of today.  Of course, we stream this 60 minute program LIVE on Facebook through our Positively West Virginia page as well as our entire statewide distribution network with our media partner WVNEWS.com.  The Positively West Virginia Small Business Mastermind video program reaches thousands of viewers on the Facebook video channel and is not part of the podcast channels.

Positively West Virginia is seeking sponsors/partners to help in our mission to advance and equip small business leaders in West Virginia.  We are also developing grant applications for funding purposes.

Future plans for Positively West Virginia include elementary and secondary education programs, entrepreneurial curriculum development, a video interview program concept, and increased video production and distribution capabilities.
