Show Notes
You’re mid-launch. You’re showing up, you’re sharing your offer, you’re doing all the things you see other people doing in a launch. And yet: ❤️🩹 The likes are low. 💬 The DMs are dry. 💭 The comments are so quiet it’s actually a bit embarrassing. So obvs, the launch wobbles set in: “Is anyone even seeing this?” “Every time I start selling, my reach TANKS” “Am I annoying people?” “Should I just stop now?” “Maybe I’ll go back to just sharing my cat on stories, then my views will go back up” I get it. That eerie silence feels like your launch is the most boring, annoying thing to happen to the internet. But, are you ready for this? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had launches where engagement felt quiet - but the sales were anything but quiet. I’ve had launches where my posts barely got any comments, but my DMs were lighting up with “I love your energy right now, you’re on fire!”, or “I love watching you show up for this launch!” I’ve had Threads that got two likes but landed me a podcast interview. I’ve had moments where I could have convinced myself no one was interested, and let it shrink me, but I didn’t, because I trust my launch system. And that’s the difference. 🚨 Silence isn’t always a bad thing. 🚨There’s a BIG difference between silence that sells, and silence that signals a problem.
In today's episode, I share how to tell if your launch is quiet because people are deciding whether to buy, or if it's quiet because they've disengaged - plus 7 habits that help me keep showing up and selling, even when I want to shrink back.

If you’re anything like me, or pretty much every client I’ve ever worked with, I bet at one stage, you’ve said the words “I think I’m just attracting the wrong people”. We’re taught that as long as we get the numbers, we can make the sales. As long as you can get x amount of people on your waitlist, or 10k followers, or however many leads - as long as you have eyes on your content, you’ll be able to hit your revenue goals. But UNFORTUNATELY it’s not always as simple as that, and if you're a business owner looking to grow and scale, you've likely come across this issue too. In this episode I share the four things to focus on to start attracting more ready to buy, action taking people into your audience with your content.
There's a massive difference from trying to get views and go viral on Instagram, vs content that creates demand for you and your work. In this episode, we're chatting about the magic combo of:
Growing an audience on your Instagram or other socials is often focused on how to get the most views, or how to go as viral as possible. And getting views is great, but what we reaaally love is content that builds your audience AND gets you the opportunities and business growth that you want.
We all know that growing a following online doesn't necessarily mean making the money you want to make - but WHY is that? What is it that makes some people with a relatively small audiences make way more sales than some people with huge audiences?
Being consistent with content is one thing, but what about posting content that gets you the opportunities you want? Whether it's getting a book deal, working with brands, growing your community or getting more sales, we need to reverse engineer your content world to bring these goals to life.
