    Building genuine relationships with content that connects

    How do you create genuine relationships with your content? In this episode of The Powerful Content Podcast, Mel is diving into what connection really means when it comes to your content. Being visible doesn’t automatically create connection. You can post consistently, follow all the advice, and still feel like your content isn’t landing. Genuine connection is what turns followers into true fans who want to be in your world. Mel explores the common mistakes that keep heart-led entrepreneurs stuck at the connect stage, like trying to be someone else, or diluting your message to appeal to everyone. She also walks you through what to do instead. How to share your values, beliefs, and perspective so your ideal client feels seen, understood, and safe. This conversation is about finding your rhythm and energy in content creation so that connection flows naturally and sustainably.   Timestamps: 00:00 The missing piece in your visibility strategy 00:40 Welcome to The Powerful Content Podcast 01:20 Acknowledgement of Country 01:33 The Client Journey: Understanding the connect stage 02:37 A personal story about connection in action 03:54 What the connect stage is all about 06:08 Common mistakes that block connection 09:59 How to build genuine connection through content 14:36 Reflection: Are you creating content that connects? 16:08 An invitation to join The Content Effect 16:54 Closing thoughts and ways to work together   Links mentioned in this podcast The Unboring Ideal Client Workbook The Content Effect   If you enjoyed listening to this episode, then you’ll also love: Episode 185 - Ditch the sales funnels to create content that feels good Episode 183 - How to stop socials from sucking the life out of you   Loved the episode?
