Lesson 5: Grow Your Audience (No Ads Needed)
Why Announcing Your Presence Matters. Don’t wait until everything’s perfect — just start. Early action builds excitement, trust, and gets your first enquiries rolling.
Step 1: Announce to Your Network
Start with people who already know you.Where:
- Personal Facebook & Instagram posts
- WhatsApp broadcast
- Email to old contacts
What to say (keep it simple & confident):“Big news! I’ve launched my travel business 🎉 Stress-free holidays, beach breaks, and family getaways — DM me to start planning.”
Step 2: Grow Your First 100 Followers
- Invite friends/family to follow your page
- Share tips or deals in travel/community groups
- Reply to comments & reactions → then hit Invite to Follow
- Make it a habit: check engagement daily, invite non-followers (see the videos)
👉 Warm leads (people already liking/commenting) are your fastest growth path.
Step 3: Boost Engagement with an Offer
- Giveaway: “Win a lounge pass! Follow + tag a friend — winner in 48h.”
- Limited offer: “7 nights Ibiza £499pp – DM to book.”
Step 4: Prep Your Page Before Inviting
- Welcome post + intro
- Eye-catching destination photos
- At least 1 value post (travel tip, insider info)
- Clear call-to-actions (WhatsApp / DM / link)
Quick Launch Timeline
- Week 1: Profile setup + 3–5 posts
- Week 2: Announcement + giveaway/offer
- Week 3: Consistent posting + engagement
