The Secret Reason You Want To Be
The Host/Hostess With The Mostest
(aka the one with all the answers!)
Because, by riding others’ content waves who
are known authorities / resources in your niche
and consistently …
Sharing Breaking news or other useful tips that
you have carefully curated and only sharing
selectively, taking great care to ensure No
garbage / NO spam / NO yucky

AHA! You become one too by association!
And people buy from folks like that!
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
