The Evolution of Content and Social Media
Before we jump into the nitty gritty of content repurposing, let's rewind a bit and revisit my journey with content creation and social media. Recognizing the need to maintain an active presence across various platforms beyond Instagram while managing a full-time job was a challenge before I left corporate. This led to the creation of our #antisocial plan and content repurposing strategy, laying the groundwork for a groundbreaking approach to digital marketing.
Content Repurposing Strategy Unveiled
At the core of our content strategy lies the Crush the Rush Podcast. What initially began as a single podcast episode has evolved into a treasure trove of content, generating a remarkable 12 unique pieces per week. From YouTube to LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest, our content now spans multiple platforms, expanding our reach effortlessly. I have consistently released two episodes every week and love finding out more ways to repurpose them, most recently is our YouTube channel!
The Power of Personal Ownership
One common misconception about our content strategy is the belief that it's outsourced. Contrary to popular belief, I'm the driving force behind content creation. By embracing content repurposing, I've reclaimed ownership of our digital narrative, showcasing that effective marketing doesn't always necessitate hefty outsourcing fees. Our content creation process remains largely in-house, underscoring the simplicity and effectiveness of our approach.
Mapping out the content journey is crucial. Whether using tools like Planoly or Metricool to streamline the process, consistency is key across all platforms. Breaking down the numbers further highlights the efficacy of our strategy, with notable increases in engagement across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Even with minor setbacks, such as a decrease in Pinterest engagement, the overall visibility and impact have surged significantly.
Let's talk numbers. In the last 30 days:
- Facebook engagement surged by 46%, despite minimal use of the app.
- Instagram engagement skyrocketed by 76%, highlighting the power of consistency.
- LinkedIn remains a valuable platform, with two clients acquired in the last 90 days.
- Utilizing Chat GPT for hashtags has streamlined our social media strategy.
- While Pinterest engagement saw a slight dip, monthly views soared to 400K at its peak.
Launching Programs Without Social Media Stress
Transitioning to launching programs, we've adopted a pre-launch strategy focused on relationship-building and value delivery. By planning ahead and over-delivering through live events and pre-selling, we've managed to launch programs with minimal stress and maximum impact. And the best part? We're able to enjoy life's moments without the burden of constant social media management.
Welcome to the world of Anti-Social School School – a program designed to revolutionize how you attract clients and fill seats without relying on social media. Even if you're not initially drawn to the program, join us as we unveil our step-by-step strategy for success.
Debunking the Anti-Social Myth
First, let's clarify what being "anti-social" in business really means. Contrary to popular belief, it doesn't imply complete social isolation. Instead, it entails finding alternative methods to connect with clients beyond traditional social media platforms.
Step 1: Planning Ahead for Life's Surprises
Life doesn't pause for business endeavors. With unexpected challenges like family emergencies and personal commitments, launching a program can seem daunting. That's why we advocate for a pre-launch strategy that emphasizes relationships, networking, and tailored content to spark conversations. By planning our quarterly focus well in advance, we align all our efforts with our goals, ensuring a seamless execution.
Step 2: Engaging with Live Events
In a world saturated with webinars, we opt for live workshops to provide tangible value and foster genuine connections. These events not only offer actionable strategies but also introduce participants to valuable network connections.
Step 3: Pre-Selling for Early Success
One of our favorite strategies involves pre-selling program spots to existing clients. By offering exclusive access and additional benefits, we fill half the spots before the official launch. Leveraging real conversations and personalized outreach, we create a win-win situation for both our clients and our business.

Simplified Strategies for Building Your Business
Let's talk about keeping things simple in building your business. It's all about having a solid plan to attract clients. What does this mean? It's about how you bring new people, leads, and connections into your world every day. And guess what? It doesn't have to be overwhelming. You can do it in just one to two hours a week. Last week, I launched our summer version of Anti-Social School, a program designed to teach you how to run your business offline, with just a few hours a week. No excuses! But before you commit, let's dive into the basics of building your client attraction strategy.
Defining Your Strategy
Step 1: Identifying Pain Points and Using the Right Words Start by understanding your ideal client's pain points and providing solutions in your content. Here's a simple exercise: write down 30 pain points your client is experiencing, and on the other side, jot down 30 ways you can help. This exercise helps you focus on what's happening right now and the words your clients are using. It's a great way to generate content ideas and conversation starters that directly address your clients' needs.
Step 2: Create a Clear Help Statement Craft a clear statement explaining what you do and the transformation you provide. Keep it simple and easy to understand. For example, "I help [WHO DO YOU HELP] do [WHAT DO YOU DO] to achieve [SPECIFIC TRANSFORMATION]." This statement makes it easy to explain your business and engage in meaningful conversations.
Step 3: Create Your Home Base Choose a platform where your clients can engage with you and receive valuable content. Whether it's a podcast, email list, blog, or online community, your home base should be a place where you can nurture relationships and provide resources. Focus on the customer journey and consistently bring new people into your world through organic conversations, networking events, and valuable content.
Make client attraction a priority in your weekly schedule. Nurture relationships, share client testimonials, and offer valuable resources to attract new clients. Consistency and authenticity are key to building trust and growing your business.
