In today's episode, Anna looks at why building your audience is one of the very first steps you need to take in your fledgling business.
I loved doing my coach training back in 2014 (shout-out to the International Coach Academy!) I even completed the two-year course in six months, doing the final oral exams at 3 am in Hawaii, where I was traveling at the time! I graduated with enthusiasm and passion for helping others and had my website and social media profiles up and running in a matter of days.
And then... nothing! Well, almost nothing. A handful of people visited my website... A couple of my friends followed my Facebook page... And just one person signed up to my in-person workshop that I had excitedly announced.
As it turns out, it's not enough just to create a website, pretty social profiles and a range of products and services. I learned the hard way that the crucial step that I had missed, that has to come before you start trying to sell anything, is building your audience. Attracting a community of fans who will be thrilled to buy from you when you do announce your services.
But how on earth do you build an audience from absolutely nothing when you're first starting out??
