are known authorities / resources in your niche

you have carefully curated and only sharing

selectively, taking great care to ensure No

garbage / NO spam / NO yucky

And people buy from folks like that!

Page 29: Getting your posts heard on social media is about getting these things right

The Secret Reason(s) You Want Folks

To Hang Out Online With Your Brand

They can ask questions because they have

access to you two-way conversation

They get answers to their questions / you

handle their objections as they interact with the

steady stream of AWESOME content you are

sharing on your SMP

They get to see your ‘bedside manner’

This is why it’s imperative that you’re

authentic and transparent and offline =

online

There is usually a better ‘fit’ between them and

you

You’re ‘right there’ when they are ready to buy

This is why you must have funnels in place

to capture and keep nurturing leads
