How Going VIRAL Could Actually SUCK

Hi there Friend,

Before I get into the topic of discussion in this month's Newsletter, I'll start by expressing my appreciation for all the amazing feedback I got from my very first Newsletter last month.

I still can't believe that we have over 1000 subscribers already.

UNBELIEVABLE!!

The comments I get, DMs and emails I receive, sometimes make me emotional. You're the reason I do what I do. Thank, thanks and thanks.


Now back to his month's newsletter.

We're talking about how going viral could actually suck.

(I know it sounds like I went from happy to sad in the space of seconds, lol,

but this is actually a happy one, coz I learned so much from this experience)


My most viral post on LinkedIn really didn't get me the results I thought it would.

It was a post I did on my birthday last year and basically talked about what I'm thankful for.

It got almost 50k views, added more than 400 new followers to my community, but I did not generate any qualified leads from this post.

These are some lessons I learned from this experience;


1.) You could either get "lucky" or "unlucky" when you go viral.

If you're lucky, you get

  • Visibility, which increases brand awareness
  • Leads which increases sales
  • Collaborations which increases brand awareness and leads.

But if you're unlucky like I was, you'll get;

  • Visibility, but from the wrong audience
  • Followers who are not your target audience
  • A lot of weird text messages from spammers and weird men


2:) Having a lot of likes or comments doesn't mean you are reaching the right people, it just means you're reaching a lot of people.

What matters is WHO you're getting this engagement from. What are the conversations you have in the comment section and in your DMs?

The more you create content for the RIGHT audience, the more meaningful conversations you have which could turn into sales.


3.) You cannot control when you go Viral, so don't try to.

Going viral should never be your goal for creating content because you can almost never predict when your post will go viral. Most of the time, when you go viral, it is unexpected. So whenever you create content, always have your ideal client in mind, so if your post goes viral, you are going to attract the RIGHT AUDIENCE.


4.) Less is More.

The more focused & targeted you are with your marketing and your content,

  • the less people engage,
  • the more impact your create,
  • the more quality leads you generate
  • the more sales you make.

Your goal should always be to leave an impact with your target audience either by educating, inspiring, motivating or entertaining them.

Tired of not hitting sales goals? Together we can build a strategy, while focusing on differentiating, us, as humans from automation and AI, so we are exceeding quota. 2025 IS OUR YEAR!!!

Makes a lot of sense Laura ?? N. I don’t post to go viral but I won’t lie…it would be cool. But like you said…might not be the right people. So I will just keep doing my thang. :)
