Johanna Renoth - 📣 Tell a Friend to Tell a Friend
Hi,
it's Johanna, Queen of Logging Off and marketing yourself without socials (among other things).
This is your weekly tip for marketing yourself without social media.
This week, I challenge you to
Tell a Friend to Tell a Friend
Does this make you cringe? If so, great! There's the edge of your comfort zone.
Think about how businesses grew in the pre-social media age.
There was advertising - and there has always been word of mouth.
One great way to leverage word of mouth is to nudge the people around you here and there to help you by sharing your work. I know this can feel super uncomfortable and you definitely don't want to turn every conversation with a friend into a sales pitch.
This is a great exercise to get your sales muscle going and practice talking about what you do with the people around you.
If you're shy or feel stupid doing this, you could frame it like this:
Often, the people around us don't even know it's okay or helpful for them to connect us with others. Help them help you.
And if you don't like the experience of asking for a referral or recommendation, at least you've tried it once and now know it's not for you.
Win-Win.
Hit reply and let me know how it goes.
See you in your inbox next week with a new tip for marketing yourself without social media.
Sending glitter,
Johanna 💎
