What would you post if you already had the followers you want?

I want you to imagine that you have just woken up with the number of followers that you are craving. Maybe that's 10k, 50k, or 100k… whatever it is for you, sit with it for a second. Then ask yourself: what's the content that got you there?

If we're honest with ourselves, most of us would say the same thing: that we would've been bolder and braver than what we're currently posting. Not hiding behind the perfect hook or worrying about the timing of the video, but saying what we really think.

In this episode:

  • The follower-number exercise to run on yourself before you post again
  • Why 3-4 posts a week with real depth beats mediocre content posted daily
  • The two questions to ask if your growth has felt slower than you'd like
  • What's eating your content-creation time
  • Why one person disagreeing with your post doesn't mean you change direction

If this one resonated, come inside my DMs because I love to chat about this stuff!

And if you want help getting your hooks and content ideas out of your head and onto the grid, that's exactly what we work on inside The Plotting Shed and with Planting the Seeds.
