Description

What is the best way to grow your business and audience online? You might be surprised with my answer.

In this episode, I'm sharing with you the key to growing your business online.

This one thing helped me meet and exceed my revenue goals when I first started my service-based business. And it's something that many people overlook in the online space, especially when trying to achieve "passive income".

So, you may be wondering: what is it?? The best way to grow your business online is through people & relationships!

Real, authentic relationships are the key to growing your business online. Real relationships have the power to do things that marketing strategies, systems, and tools cannot do.

Relationships and people are one of the points of the Shine Online Framework that I discussed in Episode 2, and today I want to go a little deeper into how to actually build these relationships.

Building relationships online is truly a key factor in growing your business and your audience. One of the people who have I seen do this very well is my friend Christa Hutchins. 

She has a free workshop: Growing Together on July 16.

In this workshop, you will:

• Discover how to identify and engage with like-minded partners
• Learn to use the pitch email template that will make them jump to say yes
• Find out what God says about your fear of rejection (and other mindsets that keep you stuck, working alone)

She will also let you know about her course: Better Together: Growing Your Influence and Impact Through Collaboration.

I am an affiliate for this course as I know and trust Christa, and I know she will bring great value to you even if you just attend the free workshop.

So thankful for Esther creating this podcast! As a Christian solopreneur I almost cried when this week's episode (06/11/20) came into my inbox. It was a sign from God for sure and I'm so thankful He chose Esther to deliver it. Shine on, sister. ❤️
