“People want to know that you're a real person because they want that authenticity. They want to buy into that authenticity and know who you really are behind the curtain. So show the process, show what you do behind the scenes, on the ups and downs of your life and your business. Show all of it!” ~ @avanimiriyala

Four Ways To Get Over Promoting Yourself Online 1. Find conviction

You need to sell yourself on what you’re selling. The best way to do this is to find the evidence from past clients that proves you’re providing value to everyone you work with.

2. Document, don’t create

People want to know that you're human. Show the process, show what you do behind the scenes, on the ups and downs of your life, and your business. Show all of it. People want to see it and it can lead to great business opportunities.

3. Engage and interact

Use your social media to be social. Get out there and actually interact with your followers or friends. This reminds them that you exist and that you have expertise, which keeps you top of mind.

4. Be consistent

You need to do this every single day. As you interact, people are watching and keeping you top of mind, especially if you’re talking about industry topics. This can definitely lead to revenue. Consistency is where the magic happens.
