Show Notes
There's a difference between having followers and having people who genuinely *follow* you - who open every email, watch every story, and think of you first when someone asks who they love online. In this episode, I'm sharing real data from the business owners in my Light Up Your Movement sprint, who collectively named over 85 creators they're obsessed with - and more importantly, explained exactly WHY. Spoiler: not one person mentioned content strategy. What they talked about instead is going to reframe how you think about showing up online.
IN THIS EPISODE Why "getting followers" and "becoming someone worth following" are two completely different things The 8 themes that came up again and again when people described their favourite creators What "radical transparency" actually looks like - and why showing your working beats showing your wins The permission slip effect: how the best creators make their audience feel like they can do it too Why your content feeling flat might be a joy problem, not a strategy problem The one question to ask yourself: are you talking to your audience, or AT them?

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.
