If you’ve got a passion that you want to turn into profit, you have to take your business to a place where you can connect with your audience. This will only happen when you start thinking about that business as a movement.
A movement is about your passion and zest for life. It’s about the things you love. Therefore, the biggest thing that makes a movement is that sense of why.
To start thinking about your business as a movement, develop a why that’s about connecting with a group of people and creating a sense of belonging.
Digital specialist Duane Zingale has a ton of knowledge to share with you in this area. In our conversation, he shared that one of the first things he always does is try to lead with a story. He tries to make it personal.
Likewise, on social media, we must share what we’ve learned through personal stories. If we were to meet someone one-on-one, we’d start to hear each other’s personal stories. It’s clear that we all want personal stories and personal connections, not platitudes and rants. So, always just stop and ask, “What can I do as I write this social media post, as I share on this podcast, or as I write this blog to actually get a reply and create a connection?”
Once you begin marketing your movement, those who are a part of that movement will naturally refer you and build momentum in a direction of transformation. This will drive your traffic and get your business on the map.
