We also discuss the role of social media in your business and how to use it efficiently. Join us for actionable insights to boost your business presence and resilience.

1. Create a “Pick Me” List

- Step Out of Your Comfort Zone Every Sunday, create a list of 15+ people to contact during the week to promote your business. Examples of outreach include - asking to be on a radio show/podcast, writing for a blog, participating in events, or delivering a masterclass. - Consistent Outreach Send three messages or emails daily without overthinking. Get comfortable with hearing "no" and persist in promoting your business.

2. Nurture Your Own Real Estate

- Ownership and Control Your newsletter and website are platforms you own, unlike social media platforms which can change algorithms or reach. - Mailing List and SEO Manage your mailing list effectively and optimize your website for SEO. - Regular Maintenance Dedicate at least one hour a week to maintaining and improving these platforms. This can be divided into two 30-minute sessions or as fits your schedule.

3. Consistent Social Media for You

- Strategic Use Determine which social media platforms are most effective for your business. Avoid stress by selecting platforms that align with your business message. - Content Delivery Share the same content across chosen platforms with tailored strategies for each. Repurpose content to maximize reach and efficiency. - Persistence Remember that even if you feel repetitive, new audiences are constantly discovering your content.
