After speaking with hundreds of people inside this space, I’ve noticed the same three patterns showing up again and again.They look harmless, but they’re silently destroying your conversions.
Let’s break them down so you can spot them and fix them fast.
1. You’re describing your offer instead of solving a real problem
Most people talk about their offer…But they never speak to the actual tension their audience is living with.
When your content only says what your offer is, the brain has nothing meaningful to latch onto.
No urgency, no emotion, no curiosity.
And when nothing disrupts your buyer’s thought pattern, they keep scrolling.
Strong content shows people the tension they’re stuck in and why it matters.
2. You’re trying to educate people into buying
This one is a big trap.
Many believe that giving more information will convince people to buy. But teaching too much actually has the opposite effect.
When you overload someone with knowledge, you remove the tension they need to feel before taking action. Your job isn’t to teach everything. Your job is to make the problem unmistakably clear so the next step feels obvious.
3. You’re posting, but you’re not creating “buying moments”
Plenty of people share tips, stories, and value… but none of it leads the buyer toward a decision.
A buying moment happens when your audience realizes:
“I can’t keep doing it this way.”
You create that moment by:
• Highlighting a pattern they’re stuck in
• Showing the cost of staying there
• Pointing to a better path they can take
When your content does that, your audience becomes invested.
And invested people buy.
