🤔 YOU Post Daily But Still Broke? Here’s Why

A few months ago, a friend told me they were starting to post on five different social media platforms every day. Last Monday, he said he was still not making sales after three months of work. I know how that feels. Trying to be everywhere feels like you’re doing the right thing. The truth is, it’s a trap. But when you focus ONLY on the right places, your energy finally goes where it counts. And that’s when people finally notice you and start buying from you. Use R.I.C.E. before you postR.I.C.E. simply means Reach, Impact, Confidence, and Ease. Ask yourself: Will this platform reach enough people? Will it make an impact on my goals? Am I confident creating content there? Is it easy to maintain? This helps you stop guessing where to put your content. If you want more help choosing the right platforms for selling, check out my guide here. There’s a section that walks you through picking the best ones step by step. Stick to 2 or 3 channelsFocus completely on them. Figure out how they work, try different posts, and build a solid connection with your audience there first. Cut what feels like a choreIf a platform wears you out and gives you nothing back, just let it go.

You just need to be in the right spots. Stay curious, Minosh. ​ |

But what he missed was telling people why they should choose him. In other words, weak positioning. He could have chosen who...
A friend once told me they bought a Kindle Paperwhite just because they saw a reel about how it changed someone’s reading habits. It’s not an ad screaming for attention, just a real person sharing their story. That’s the magic of user-generated content, it feels real. When someone sees real stories from real people, they’re more likely to trust and buy. Big brands know this, but it’s even more powerful for small businesses or creators like you. 👉 Ask for simple stories Reach out to your...
Last year, I made a 50-page free guide. I thought it was amazing. Guess what? Almost no one downloaded it. Then I made a 1-page checklist that solved one specific problem, a simple social media basics checklist. That simple thing got more downloads in one week than the big guide didn’t get in months. That’s when I learned, a good lead magnet, yes I’m talking about the free resource offered in exchange for users’ email address, doesn’t have to be big, it just has to be useful right now. #1:...
