    #123 - Why I Am Not Buying Into The Fast Finish Mentality For Q4 AND What I Am Doing Instead

    #123 - Why I Am Not Buying Into The Fast Finish Mentality For Q4 AND What I Am Doing Instead

    There is no denying that Q4 is a time when there are sales to be made, BUT unless you have a clear strategy as to WHY you are running a sale or a launch then it can often lead to poor execution.

    It can be VERY easy to get distracted by the shiny lights of lucrative sales numbers, but the reality is for alot of social media managers and content creators, this may not be the right thing for your business.

    In this episode, I share how I am approaching Q4 this year, not with a flash sale on a digital product JUST to have one I can sell, but doubling down on my profitable services.

    And how you can do the same AND still generate leads and clients during the end of year period.

    Are you ready? Let's dive in.

    #119 - How I Increased My Stories Views To 83% Of My Audience

    #119 - How I Increased My Stories Views To 83% Of My Audience

    Stories can be a bit of a minefield for business owners, they only last for 24 hours so there is alot of fatigue around creating content for that part of the platform.

    And there is alot of confusion around WHAT to share, mainly when you have already put so much effort into your feed content it's like 'What else do I share there?'.

    In this episode, I share some insights from an experiment I have been running on my personal account that has resulted in views of 83% of my audience AND a significant increase in engagement.

    I didn't post stories daily, but I did post them consistently and I wasn't on camera all the time either, these were really simple strategies that anyone can implement even if you are time poor and don't like showing your face every day.

    If anything you have heard resonates with you and you want to talk more come and chat with my on Instagram, I would love to know what stood out to you.
