Do Likes = Cash?
The harsh truth you don't want to hear....
The other day I was checking my email inbox.
I read an email by GlennWrites going over a viral X post he experienced.
He managed to get 900k+ impressions when Naval Ravikant reposted one of his content pieces.
However, guess what these 900+ impressions did for him?
$0.
A fat zero in sales.
As JK Molina likes to say;
Likes ain't Cash.
This reminds me of my ecom journey from 2 years ago.
I managed to get 3M+ views on a TikTok video.
I managed to get 2k+ followers.
I managed to get thousands of eyeballs to my website.
But guess what it did for me?
2 sales.
Sure, it wasn’t zero.
But it’s horrible when compared with the product awareness I got.
It goes to show, virality isn't what you're looking for.
Forget what the gurus tell you.
It won't work.
As Glenn said in his email...
"Going viral is like owning a pizza joint & waking up to 10,000 homeless people invading your store."
Meaning an audience doesn’t mean anything if they’re not a fit for your offer.
So, stop chasing virality.
Focus on building a tribe of people who’d be interested in your services.
Focus on genuine connection.
You'll have an easier time attracting leads & clients.
Anyways, that's all for me.
Until next time,
P.S; if you’re interested in building a brand that will give you freedom of time & a cure to your content creation stress, I’d be glad to help you out.
I’ll be writing your content, positioning your brand & scaling it to attract inbound leads without the old cold DMs.
So, if you’re a high-ticket service provider with existing clients & you’re tired of spending hours creating content.
Respond to this email with “LEADS” & I’ll give you more details.
