I want everyone to take away something from this podcast episode that will help them generate momentum and keep them moving forward in their business, regardless of niche.
1. Your future self doesn’t get to criticize what you are doing now
You should never look back on this time and feel disappointed about the decisions you made. Just focus on doing what you know to do, and let that be enough for you, now and in the future.
2. Find your community to help you rally when you’re struggling
This is where brainstorming has to happen. Share with your community that you are out of ideas and they will help you come up with new content ideas. There is inspiration and comfort in seeing other business owners creatively adjusting.
3. Serve your people where they are
Adapt to the changes. It probably doesn’t make sense to share travel deals right now, but you can share how to change travel dates or how to switch tickets around. If you don’t know what your people need from you, ask them.
4. Be really sensitive when it comes to the products that you’re selling
I don’t think you should stop promoting your products. You might need to put a new spin on how you package your products and the message you’re using to market at this time. You want to keep serving your people well. Instead of discounting your products, add more value to them.
5. Watch the monthly Pinterest updates and see what people are searching for
Every single month, Pinterest does a recap on search trends are for that particular month. We also recap these updates in our SPM email newsletter that comes out each week on Wednesdays. Keeping up with these trends enables you to see what people are typing in the search bar and what problems they to solve. That, in turn, will help you create content that serves the user well.
