Unpopular opinion, but I actually *don't* think everybody is meant to build an audience on social media. *gasp*
Andddd this is coming from somebody who literally teaches people how to grow and monetize their social media, so I easily could lie – lol.
Whenever I hear somebody say they hate social media, it’s sucking their soul, they cannot stand it…
...I know they’re not going to be very successful on social media and it’s probably not for them...
Because it does 👏 not 👏 matter 👏 how great your strategy is.
If your energy is not in alignment with the thing that you are doing, it's not going to work.
But here’s the thing, there is a big “UNLESS”...
UNLESS that “hatred” of social media is coming out of fear.
Here’s how you tell the difference...
Fear can make us NOT want to take action on things or give up on things because the stakes are so high.
So like, we actually care about that thing *so much* and we want it *so badly*...
But it's new for us, it feels uncomfortable, so our brain is like: no, stay safe, don't do the thing, that's scary.
If you are looking at other people doing what you want to do + feel kind of jealous…chances are it’s not hatred – it’s fear.
If this is you: you need to stick with it. Being visible online is meant for you, it's possible for you, we just have to work out the "how" (and that's so doable!).
BUT (!!!) if you're genuinely the type of person who just does not like social media – then stop forcing a square peg into a round hole.
There's probably another way to grow your audience that sounds way more fun to you – so spend your energy figuring out what THAT is and go all-in.
(Think: networking, in-person events, direct DM outreach, etc.)
We've ALL been taught to outsource how we feel and our decision making to "experts" but no one is more of an expert on your life path and what is aligned for you than you are.
If you're a brand, business, or course creator who wants to learn how to grow on social media in an aligned way, I’m going to share that in a few scrolls…
And if not – know there is still SO much potential for your business, just stop forcing things that don’t feel aligned intuitively.
