Sharing my first "thought leader" post lol but this was on my mind so I had to 😆 I saw an analogy recently that really stuck with me: Starting content is exactly like joining a gym. We often talk about "building the content muscle," but there’s another part of the gym analogy that gets overlooked: The feeling of walking through the front door and being "seen". When you first go to the gym, that walk from your car to the entrance feels longer than it actually is. You’re aware of yourself in a way you normally aren’t. You assume everyone inside knows you’re new. You think they’re watching. Judging. Noticing everything. They’re not. But it feels like they are. That exact feeling is what stops most people from posting or going live. Making content is the PRACTICE of being seen and dealing with the FEELINGS that come up when you are. If you feel nervous every time you hit "record," that’s normal. You aren't just learning to edit or speak; you’re training your brain to be comfortable in the spotlight. But just like the gym, the more you walk through that door, the more normal it feels. And I can't tell you how much confidence making content has given me in my actual real life. (Especially as an introvert) Does the idea of being "seen" make you feel nervous?

What's your biggest problem right now when it comes to getting traffic?

Come hang out with us live!

Whats a traffic win you had this week? Got a new member? Got more views than normal?

I've found the best way to grow a social following is to talk about something polarizing in your industry. Not "rage bait" but being contrarian. This makes people REALLY love you or the opposite 😬 But it actually gets you followers/members faster because you are saying the thing that they are too scared to say. And fair warning, the haters might come out in full force and boost the algorithm with their comments too. So what's your hot take in your niche/industry? Something that most people might disagree with but you believe it with your whole chest.
