If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “all the right things” with your content but it’s still not converting, this episode might explain why.
We’re calling out five pieces of content advice that sound logical, popular, and even proven—but were never designed for coaches, course creators, or service providers who sell through trust. Influencers monetize attention. We monetize transformation. And when we follow influencer-style advice without adjusting for our business model, we quietly build audiences that don’t buy.

In this episode, we cover:
- 03:17 The “post like an influencer” myth and why building a relatable business brand matters more than building a personal fan club
- 08:02 The obsession with going viral
- 10:42 Why using social for your entire funnel (including constant DM selling) is risky and exhausting
- 17:33 “Just be consistent” isn’t a strategy
- 23:08 Repurposing the right way (not copy/paste everywhere without context)
