One of our members, @Karina Sharp , shared something this week that really resonated with me. As I was reading her post, I found myself nodding along because I've been there too... and if I'm honest, there are still days when I feel like I'm there. She talked about something that doesn't get discussed enough: "𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐦𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐫." 😐 I hear people all the time talking about buying their product & grabbing the affiliate link & promoting it for XYZ%.... My thing is.. who to? Who do I promote it to when I only have 200 followers & we know actually only 10% of those people will see it & of those 10% who actually trusts you enough to buy from you? 🤔 I've been racking my brain to try grasp this concept or is it their strategy? I know there will be the random buyer that just happened to be looking for something at that exact moment & buys from you 🥳 but is that enough to keep a beginner's hopes up enough to keep going? It's like the bathtub effect.. positive - negative - positive. You get a random sale, then nothing for weeks, then you buy another course (thing) to try fix what didn't work from the first thing you bought & you're off on a high till the next slump. .. anyway.. my point is.. as I get closer to 5k (& above) followers, the engagement has been crazy, like I can't physically reply to everyone like I have been. So, all the stressing about finding people has been in vain. I don't think anyone has actually said - IT WILL TAKE YOU 6 MONTHS TO GET ROLLING. So for the first 6 months just grow your page, grow your thing, don't worry about making, selling, all the things.. don't stress about it! Now, I have asked some skool owners directly how long it's taken them to get to 5k followers & when they honestly started making consistent sales. Some are very happy to tell me & some not so happy.🤨 I am also aware that there are some people that just get lucky so sure, its not a one size fits all. I just wish when I started my journey someone said to me : Karina, don't get to excited about making money, having a business plan or retiring for at least 6months. Geez it may have saved a few melt downs & moments of closing my laptop for good, screaming this isn't for me? Because now that i'm nearly 6 months in & finally getting people, people on my pages engaging, communicating with me & asking questions, like i'm an expert.. I can see the picture. Still have a long way to go because I have nothing to offer.. but I can see something!
