Are Promotions really worth it?

I’ve been playing around with Facebook and Instagram Ads the last few weeks. When the ads are running, traction is high, Likes are coming in, maybe a few Followers. If you want another dopamine hit of Likes and Followers you can pay more for a larger reach and keep it going. But then what? How long to do you keep going? Until your wallet runs out? For a period of time? Until you’ve converted X new leads to customers? It’s called an Ad campaign but really it feels like a short-lived promotion aimed at getting the word out that you

We Pose Too Much

In our photos. On LinkedIn. On Facebook. On Instagram. Everywhere. We take too much time to get the perfect shot, post or article when what everyone is really interested in seeing is how you got there. How many outtakes did it take to create that LinkedIn video?

As a Freelancer that is always trying to define their niche, this is no easy task.  On a recent podcast by Seth Godin, he mentioned that if you can find 1,000 people to define your niche you are in great shape. One thousand people… One thousand people… I’m stuck on trying to get past ten right now (okay maybe more than that but you get the idea). Defining a niche is easy (this is who we serve), finding them, getting your message to them, having them acknowledge that your message aligns to their problem is a whole other problem that

This Is How we’ve Always Done It

Sounds good. And now that you’ve said it, now that you’ve uttered that most sacrilege of statements, it sounds like what you are really trying to say is… “This is How we’ve always done it, and it looks like we’ve always been doing it wrong” Challenge accepted.
