Stop Chasing Followers and Start Building Your Business Where It Actually Matters

If Instagram deleted your account tomorrow, how many actual leads would you lose? 🚀

Most course creators are spending hours creating content across multiple platforms, but here's the uncomfortable truth: you're probably just keeping yourself busy instead of building your business. I've seen too many brilliant experts burn out trying to be everywhere at once, only to discover they're not making real progress anywhere.

After seven years of helping course creators scale their businesses, I've learned that the most successful ones aren't the ones with the biggest followings. They're the ones who've mastered turning social media attention into email subscribers who actually buy. In this episode, I'm sharing exactly how to figure out which platforms deserve your precious time and which ones are just giving you empty dopamine hits.

“You don't need more views. You just need more qualified leads on your list. Social media isn't your business—it's the front door to your business.” ✨

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Discover the one question that reveals if your social media strategy is actually working
  • Learn why being on five platforms is sabotaging your business growth
  • Get my platform-by-platform breakdown of what actually converts followers to customers
  • Master the difference between content that gets attention vs. content that drives action

Pop in your earbuds and get ready to revolutionize your social media strategy—you'll want to take notes for this one! ☕️

💚 💚 💚
