About this episode
...Lead magnet, website, funnel, email list, newsletter, Substack, social media presence?
When it comes to all these things your business supposedly "needs", a lot of it is just unnecessary pressure to be everywhere. Doing all the things, creating all the optins and freebies and video content can lead straight to exhaustion, a diluted message, ineffective strategies, and more overwhelm.
Success doesn’t require omnipresence.
More platforms/places/spaces/faces ≠ more clients.
Burnout kills businesses faster than "not being on TikTok".
In this week's episode, we get into whether or not your business really needs a [insert thing you've been told you need here] and how to evaluate what's for you and what's not with some simple questions:
- The quiet quitting of social media
- Does your business need social media?
- Does your business need a podcast?
- Does your business need an email newsletter (and what about Substack!?)?
- Does your business need a lead magnet, nurture sequence, freebie, funnel
- Do I NEED to create video!?
- How to evaluate for yourself what you need and what you don't based on YOUR unique business model, clientele, energy, and current commitments
