This week on the Business of Being Online pod, we took a deep dive into something super close to my heart and crucial for anyone building a brand online: storytelling. Who doesn’t love a good story?
First things first, we talk about why your story matters. In the online world, it’s easy to just be another face in the crowd, right? But when you share your journey, your struggles, and your triumphs, you’re not just posting content; you’re connecting. It’s about letting people see the real you, the person behind the brand. That’s what draws people in and makes them stick around.
In this episode, we went all in on how to craft that killer personal narrative. We’re talking about building a story with a clear beginning, middle, and end that shares who you are and where you’re heading. And it’s not just about what’s on your website or a single Instagram post. It’s about making your whole online presence a cohesive narrative that speaks directly to your people.
We’re talking about using each platform’s unique features to truly connect. Instagram isn’t just for pretty pictures; use your Stories to ask questions, run polls, and get real-time feedback. And live video is your stage for deeper dives—invite comments, respond directly to viewer questions in your videos, and create content that invites further discussion.
You’ll learn you can fit your story into different molds and make each platform an extension of your conversation with your audience.
We all hit that creative wall sometimes, right? I shared some real talk on how I deal with those dreaded creative blocks. Spoiler alert: it’s all about giving yourself space to breathe and not forcing it. Your creativity operates in cycles like the moon and menstruation, and that’s 100% okay.
The endgame here? Connecting your story to your business goals. Whether you’re looking to grow your followers, boost engagement, or convert fans into clients, your story isn’t just fluff—it’s one of your most potent marketing tools.
So, if you haven’t caught this episode yet, you’re missing out on some gold nuggets on how to use your personal narrative to not just tell but sell. Time to turn those personal experiences into professional gains.
