Prompt:
“As a [ROLE] serving [AUDIENCE TYPE] in the [NICHE/INDUSTRY] space, I used to think a large following on [PLATFORM] would automatically lead to sales.
But I noticed that even with [X NUMBER] followers, I wasn’t converting.
The truth? I had no clear value or positioning.
Once I focused on [SHIFT YOU MADE — e.g., communicating outcomes, building trust, storytelling], I started attracting actual buyers.
→ Are you creating for applause or conversions?”
2️⃣ No Clear Offer
Prompt:
“For the longest time, I was creating content around [NICHE] without a clear offer. As a [ROLE], I felt like I was just talking with no destination. At one point, I had [TOO MANY RANDOM OFFERS / NO PRODUCT / INCONSISTENT SERVICES], which led to confusion and zero conversions.
The game changed when I built [YOUR CLEAR OFFER TYPE: e.g., a signature service / 1 clear outcome-based program / 1 digital product] that aligned with my audience’s needs.
→ If your content doesn’t lead anywhere, why would they follow?”
3️⃣ Promoting the Wrong Things
Prompt:
“In my journey as a [ROLE], I once promoted [BRAND/PRODUCT/PROGRAM] because it seemed like a good deal. But it had nothing to do with my audience — [AUDIENCE TYPE] looking for [THEIR GOAL].
It felt off, and I could tell the trust dipped.
Now I only share [VALUES-ALIGNED PRODUCTS / TOOLS I ACTUALLY USE / BRANDS I BELIEVE IN].
→ Trust is your currency. Don’t trade it for a quick affiliate hit.”
4️⃣ Lack of Consistency
Prompt:
“As a [ROLE] in the [NICHE] space, I used to post on [PLATFORM] whenever I felt inspired.
But the problem? My audience didn’t know what to expect, and engagement dropped. I’d switch directions every few weeks: [EXAMPLES OF INCONSISTENCY].
Now, I’ve committed to [YOUR NEW SYSTEM — e.g., weekly themes, batching, showing up 3x/week].
→ Consistency isn’t about perfection — it’s about predictability.”
5️⃣ No System or Funnel
Prompt:
“I used to create a lot of content for [AUDIENCE TYPE] but had no real backend.
As a [ROLE], I realized people would engage… then disappear. There was no [LANDING PAGE / EMAIL CAPTURE / LEAD MAGNET / CTA] guiding them to work with me.
Once I built a simple funnel — [WHAT YOU IMPLEMENTED] — my content started converting.
→ If you don’t lead them somewhere, they’ll scroll right past.”
6️⃣ Afraid to Sell
Prompt:
“I used to avoid pitching my [OFFER TYPE] because I didn’t want to sound “salesy.”
As a [ROLE], I thought value alone would bring buyers. But not making an offer was actually a disservice — people were stuck and waiting for direction.
Now, I sell by showing [THE TRANSFORMATION / THE RESULTS / THE PATH], not the pitch.
→ Selling isn’t pushing. It’s guiding.”
7️⃣ Relying on One Platform
Prompt:
“I built my business entirely on [PLATFORM] as a [ROLE] helping [AUDIENCE TYPE]. But I realized — if that account got suspended, I’d lose everything. That fear pushed me to start building on [OWNED CHANNELS — e.g., Email, Website, Private Community].
Now, I’m focused on building [EXAMPLE OF DIGITAL ASSET OR SYSTEM] that’s platform-proof.
→ You don’t own your social media. Build what you do own.”
8️⃣ Burnout From Content
Prompt:
“I hit a wall trying to post daily on [PLATFORM] while serving clients as a [ROLE].
I felt like I was always chasing trends, never building assets. It led to burnout, low creativity, and resentment.
Now, I work with [SYSTEM YOU BUILT — e.g., batching, evergreen content, AI repurposing, monthly sprints] so I can rest and grow.
→ If your content strategy isn’t sustainable, it’s not scalable.”
