In this episode, we delve into a fundamental yet often overlooked aspect of online entrepreneurship: ensuring that potential customers know about your products.

Especially for creatives, talking about and promoting our work can feel daunting, but it's crucial for achieving the sales and success we desire. Join us as we explore why staying top of mind is essential and how to effectively engage your audience without feeling spammy.

Five Key Takeaways From This Episode:

1. Visibility is Crucial:
- People can't buy what they don't know exists. To capture attention, you must consistently promote your work so that it stays top of mind for potential customers.

2. Content Creation Strategies:
- Content doesn't always have to be about direct selling. It should inspire and engage your audience, making them feel connected to your work without feeling like they are being sold to constantly.

3. Consistent Engagement:
- Post regularly on social media to ensure your audience sees your content. Posting once or twice is not enough. Frequent posting increases the chances of your content being seen by a larger portion of your audience.

4. Interactive Content Ideas:
- Share different aspects of your book, like a page or an inspirational quote. Use various formats such as videos, reels, written posts, and images to keep your content fresh and engaging.

5. Overcome Perfectionism:
- Focus on consistency over perfection. Don’t let worries about your appearance or production quality prevent you from creating content. Your audience cares more about the value and authenticity of your content than its perfection.

Additional Insights:
- Develop a content creation habit by posting daily for 30 days. This will provide valuable data on what types of content resonate with your audience and help you refine your strategy.

- Use engagement strategies like calls to action to build an email list and create a community around your work.

- If you're developing a book, share your journey and involve your audience in the process. This builds interest and anticipation before your book is even published.

Why Your Creator Biz Is Tap Dancing On The Brink Of Disaster If You Ignore This

Please Note: There's an accompanying written iteration of this special episode available if you'd like to read while you listen

That might sound rather dramatic but it’s true

What am I talking about?

I’m talking about not having an email list

There are so many creators both existing businesses or those launching for the first time not giving email list growth the attention it deserves and operating under the assumption that they're safe because they're a small fish which is why in the special edition episode of the podcast I talk about:

• Why it's absolutely imperative to get started list building immediately.
• I share a tragic example of a creator whose business was practically left in ruins after an untimely Amazon takedown but because they embraced list building early they managed to have a solid foundation on which to rebuild
• What we as creative entrepreneurs must focus on immediately to safeguard our hard work
• The special opportunity I've created to help you kickstart your list-building efforts

If you would be so kind, if you found value, please share this episode with a colleague or friend who's getting started creating, publishing and selling books, products, or courses.

This is must must-list episode no entrepreneur can afford to miss whether you're business is off or online.
