Everything is going interest based, and people are not interested in being sold.
They want to be educated. They want to be entertained. And occasionally they want to click something and find out how they can get more from you.
Scroll your own feed and you will see it. You are not seeing many of your friends. You are probably not even seeing businesses you follow. You are seeing groups and interest based content that the algorithm feeds you based on what you interact with and spend the most time on.
Social media has been dubbed interest media, and it is worth looking up. The algorithm thinks it knows what you like, so it shows it to you.
Which means your clients may never appear interested in your business, because your business is posting things that are not aligned with it, or for lack of a better word, salesy.
People want to buy from you. They do not want you to sell to them.
I found the same thing selling in person. Beard products and granola at the markets. Even face to face, people do not want to be sold to. They want to buy, and they want it to be their decision.
So how do you make it their decision? You give them the information they need. Like I am doing now.
I am not telling you to hire Dino Gnome and listing off reasons. Truthfully, you probably should not hire me. You can probably do all of this yourself.
