Do you actually have the courage to change the way you’re growing your business? 👀 Because if nothing changes… nothing changes. And I know that sounds obvious 😅 But so many business owners are: - posting more - tweaking Canva graphics - overthinking hooks - refreshing analytics …while still relying on the SAME audience seeing them over and over again. Meanwhile, most of my sales right now come from my EMAIL LIST 💌 Which means at some point you have to ask: ➡️ How are new people getting onto your list? ➡️ Where is your visibility actually coming from? ➡️ Are new people discovering you consistently? Because “just keep posting” is not a growth strategy anymore in 2026. That’s why I believe so strongly in: ✨ collaborations ✨ bundles ✨ summits ✨ podcast guesting ✨ partnerships ✨ shared audiences Not because vanity metrics matter… But because new visibility matters. And honestly? A lot of business growth requires being willing to do things differently than the crowd.

I just saw this come through… “Social media actually feels harder” “Finding the right space” “Not easily connecting to collab” And honestly? What if the problem isn’t you… 👉 what if it’s the way you’ve been told to grow? Because a lot of people are trying to: – post more – be more visible – “stay consistent” In spaces that don’t even feel good to them. No wonder it feels hard. No wonder it feels forced. No wonder it’s not working. Because growth doesn’t have to feel like that. There ARE ways to grow your audience that feel: 👉 more natural 👉 more aligned 👉 more like real conversations (hello… rooms, collaborations, being in the right spaces 👀) So if things have been feeling hard… 👇 what if it’s not you… it’s the method?

You’re showing up in collaborations… Bundles… summits… partnerships… People are: → seeing you → joining your list → watching your content And yet… No clients. Yeah… it’s frustrating 😅 But here’s the truth 👇Visibility alone isn’t the problem. It’s what you do with that visibility. Most people treat collaborations like exposure… Instead of treating them like client pathways. And that’s where things break. Inside this blog, I break down: → Why visibility isn’t converting → What’s actually missing from your strategy → How to turn collaborations into real clients (not just subscribers) If you’ve ever thought…“Why isn’t this working for me?” This will hit 👇 https://juliecbutler.com/get-clients-from-collaborations/ ============== Curious… have you done collaborations before? What did you actually get from them — visibility or clients?
