Okay, putting this out loud so I actually do it. 😅 I'm starting Shoot Your Shot Wednesdays. Every Wednesday I'm going into my DMs on Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook, even here on Skool and actually talking to people. New followers, people who've been around forever, fellow marketers. Just saying hi, introducing myself, and asking how I can support them. Not cold pitching. Not selling. Just connection, which is the whole thing I always preach anyway. Time I practiced it. Here's the kind of thing I'm actually sending: "Hey [name]! Thanks for the follow. Always fun when someone in the space lands in my world. I'm Stacey, I run Stacey on Social and The Content Shift Skool community and live in the anti-hustle content corner, mostly trying to talk people out of posting more 😅 Who do you love working with?" That's it. No pitch. Just a real hello and a question that actually invites a reply. I'm going to document how it goes and report back, the good, the awkward, all of it. Because most of us avoid our DMs and I want to show what happens when you actually use them. Anyone want to shoot their shot with me this week? Drop a 🎯 and let's hold each other to it.

A comment @Katie Day made on my week one homework gave me an idea for a reel and that reel has already got me TWO book sales today!!

Spent most of today travelling, so I've been pretty quiet online. Funny how a day away from the feed doesn't actually break anything. The world keeps turning. The content I'd already planned is still doing its job. That's kind of the whole point. What did your Saturday look like? Were you online or fully checked out?

Gather 'round the campfire, everyone! It is time for our first weekly check-in. This is where you earn your participation points toward our grand prizes. Drop the link to your Week 1 re-introduction post in the comments below. Once you have dropped your link, click on at least two other campers' links and leave a genuine comment on their post. (I am giving points for a comment there and here). Let's build that engagement momentum together!

You’re in the right place — whether you joined today or you’ve been here a while. This community is about connection over perfection and building content that actually supports your business, not drains it. As we grow, I want onboarding to stay clear, calm, and human. So consider this a collective reset and a chance for everyone to reconnect. 👉 Start here (3 easy steps) A) (Re)introduce yourself Tell us: Your name What you do One thing you want help with around content right now If you’ve shared before, think of this as an update. Businesses evolve. So do people. No polished bio required. Real > refined. B) Drop your Skool link (if you have one) Yes, you’re allowed to share your Skool here. This is a supportive space, not a spammy one. If you’re building, dreaming about, or refining a community, we want to see it. C) Engage with 3 others Say hi. Leave encouragement. Ask a thoughtful question. Community grows when we talk with each other, not at each other. ✨ That’s it. You’re officially in (or re-in). No algorithms to impress. No pressure to perform. If you ever feel stuck, unsure what to post, or need a second brain — that’s exactly what this space is for. Glad you’re here. — Stacey 🤍
