➡ I didn't need marketing. For years my service "spoke for itself" and I prided myself on being a word-of-mouth "barely needed a website" video service business. And that worked... ...until it literally just didn't anymore. You hear this often from people who don't put their faces to their business. ✔ It's not about me ✔I don't like talking about myself ✔It's about "the work" ❌ OK. Sure. ➡ But good luck having a sustainable business. Your shelf life isn't that long if you refuse to put yourself out there. ✅ Your amazing product might sell itself...until competitors come on the scene and they ALSO have a great story to tell. ➡Your sales will trickle I promise. ✅ Your service might be word-of-mouth but soon someone else who does exactly what you do will cut into your lane because they know how to tell awesome stories and decided to build a public-facing personal brand. ➡Your inbounds will trickle I promise. I don't know how you build a business in 2024 if you don't focus on your personal brand and telling connection stories to your audience. ➡There is nothing cute or soft about knowing how to connect, and connect quickly through personal storytelling, to an audience of future customers. ✅ I get it....it's not comfortable being on the front lines of your business on these platforms. ❌ But neither is having an unsustainable business. Do you need help on knowing what you should even be sharing to your audience? Next week I am running a pilot workshop at a pilot price of $47 that will answer that question. ⬇ ⬇⬇⬇⬇⬇ I've helped brands like Netflix, Lululemon, Afterpay and Amazon tell better stories.... Now I get to help you! https://lnkd.in/dnYyw4NS #personalbrand #personalbrandingtips #onlinemarketing #storytellingmarketing #enterpreneurship #vulnerability

Why do 𝗬𝗢𝗨 buy something? 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰: You buy that toothbrush because your dentist won't stop nagging you about it. It’s not glamorous, but it’s essential. 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘁: You desperately need a new phone—because apparently, your ancient one is now considered a museum piece. That latest model? It’s calling your name. 𝗘𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Ever seen a runner in Nike crushing a marathon and thought, “If I wear those shoes, I might just run to the fridge faster”? Emotional connection is real! 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Your friend swears by a new restaurant and suddenly, you’re booking a table there, without considering the price. Peer pressure, anyone? 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘀: A 50% discount on something you didn’t know you needed? Suddenly, you’re buying it in bulk, just in case. All these quirks in consumer behavior show why great marketing is so crucial.

Marketing minute ☕️ If consumers don’t trust your you or your brand, they will never purchase from you especially if you’re a small business, or solo entrepreneur that offers service based products. Raise brand awareness by showing how your product solves a critical problem. Show that you care about what you do! Don’t be afraid to talk about yourself, consumers want to know you. Build awareness, build trust.

It seems like every corner has an "innovation center," "hub," or "studio." But without a clear, unique value proposition, these initiatives often fall flat, leaving customers unimpressed. For solopreneurs, the trap isn't in expensive setups but in our language. Phrases like "transformation," "empowerment," and "cutting-edge" might seem appealing, but if they're just buzzwords, your audience will tune out. They're seeking authentic connections, not jargon. Resist the urge to mimic your competitors' buzzword-laden language. Instead, embrace your individuality and let your brand's unique voice shine through. 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱, 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 "𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶-𝗯𝘂𝘇𝘇𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱" 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱! 💪 𝟭.

Embrace what makes you unique and let your brand values and positioning reflect that and you'll attract customers who resonate with your unique value and build a brand that stands the test of time.
