I have been thinking about the difference between hoping to be discovered and becoming someone people seek out. When our videos live mostly in social feeds, we are often competing for a few seconds of attention. People are scrolling, multitasking, and moving quickly from one notification to the next. There is another kind of viewing experience, though. When someone settles into their living room and watches on a larger screen, they are often more relaxed, more focused, and more open to really hearing what you have to say. That is one reason I love exploring streaming opportunities for creators who have already done the meaningful work of building a message and a body of videos. Your proven videos may have more life in them than you realize. And when your expertise shows up in a place where people are ready to watch and listen, it can change the way people experience your authority. There's still cache' of being on TV!

For me, it was pan-fried steak. Grandma always had dinner going at 3:30pm sharp, and on steak night it sizzled until it was complete leather. But man, did it smell good! Maybe yours smelled like coffee, or even mothballs 😂 And it’s never just the smell, is it? It’s the card games at the kitchen table. The candy dish you’d steal from. The porch swing in the evenings. The way they said your first AND middle name! Those are the kinds of memories 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗮 helps grandparents create with their grandkids inside 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿. The problem many of today’s grandparents face is trying to make those memories from three states away, over FaceTime, with toddlers who wander off mid-call and teenagers who have more important things to do. That’s when the miles between you start to feel like a different kind of distance. Maybe you’re the one sending birthday gifts and never hearing back. Or watching the calls get shorter as they get older. Or wondering if you’re doing enough, or doing it right. You’re not the only one. Not even close! If you’re craving more closeness with your grandchildren, 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿 is where grandparents swap ideas that close the gap, whether your grands are in diapers or driving. Whether you’re nearby or miles away, Anna helps you find a way 👉 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆. It’s free. But before you go, what’s your fondest memory with your grandparents? Or what’s the most fun memory you’ve made with your grandkids so far? @Anna Murrietta

Finish this sentence: 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺: “Sounds great. I just need to talk to my partner first.” *gulp* 𝗬𝗼𝘂: “________” What do you say? Drop it below. 👀 We’ve all heard it more than we care to admit. Somebody finds you, clicks your link, reads your stuff, and even books the call. Thirty minutes of nodding. “Love it! Love all of it!” Then the partner line. Oy vey, here we go! Before you can stop yourself, you say, “No problem!” as you watch the sale walk out the door, waving, muttering “maybe next time” under its breath. Getting seen got them to your table. It didn’t get them to yes. That second part is where 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 comes in. Chris runs a UK sales team and has taken hundreds of people from zero sales experience to six figures in their first year… and he’s pretty direct about who 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆 is for: anyone who sells for a living and hates the selling part. Coaches, freelancers, creators, business owners. The rule inside is 𝘚𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘓𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧, 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘓𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘚𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯. So if your scripts make you sound like a timeshare, it’s time to throw them out the window. (Oh hey, he happens to sell those too 😉) Ready to stop letting deals walk out the door? Start with his free course, 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳, then grab a coffee and come to 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗢𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 at 9am Central. Chat with people who sell and find out what’s working, and what’s not! 👉 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆 free 🎮 So, what’s your line? Word for word, the way you’d actually say it out loud. Chris will be in the comments picking his favorite and showing you what he’d say. @Chris Suckling

This is an opportunity I thought you might appreciate. 💙 For those who don’t know this side of my business, I’m The Tech Gardener. I help people explore ways to give their content and message more room to grow. Streaming TV is one of my specialty gardens, through the BloomingVoices Streaming TV Community. 🌱 eZWay TV is one of the networks I represent. For an author, that can mean bringing the ideas behind a book to life through a televised conversation, presentation, or launch. 📺 On October 20, The Authors Channel is launching on eZWay TV, with opportunities for authors to take the stage and share their message on television. There are also opportunities for: - A televised book launch - An author spotlight interview - A book promotion What interests me is the chance to introduce the person and purpose behind the book. Instead of simply saying, “Here’s what I wrote,” you can help viewers understand why it matters and who it can help. If you’re actively promoting your book and are ready to invest in reaching more readers, I’d love to help you explore which opportunity fits your message and goals. Explore The Authors Channel launch opportunities here, then comment below so I can help make a personal introduction. If an author in your world comes to mind, please pass this along or tag them. 💙 For the authors here: What would you most want viewers to take away from a conversation about your book?

Drop whatever you’re working on below: your one-liner, graphic, CTA, About Page, offer, sales copy… whatever could use a few fresh eyeballs. Then scoot through the comments and help a few other people with theirs. 🔴 RED LIGHT — It’s vague, confusing, missing the hook, or simply isn’t landing yet. 🟡 YELLOW LIGHT — The bones are good, but something is getting in the way. 🟢 GREEN LIGHT — Clear, compelling, and ready to roll! 📋 Having your About Page reviewed? Paste the wording or add screenshots—no links yet. Once you receive two green lights, edit your comment to say: "✅ UPDATED after receiving 2 green lights" ... then you may add your direct link. And remember: give feedback before asking everyone to give it to you. We’re not posting and ghosting around here. 😉 🏆 Last round’s winner is @Jennifer Rassbach from The Guild! Jennifer didn’t just tell people whether she liked something. She explained why it worked, or didn’t, and gave specific feedback they could actually use. She also stuck around for the revisions and helped people take their work from yellow to green. Jennifer wins a 24-hour pinned post, which she can claim anytime within the next 30 days! Every round has a winner. Who’s coming for Jennifer’s traffic-light crown this week? 👑🚦
