🪩 the importance of owning your audience

I planned on writing about the importance of owning your audience in this newsletter and of course, the universe delivered with a perfect real-life example! My Instagram account was suspended this week, and just like most of you, I conduct some business in the DMs. I was lucky that the suspension was temporary and my account was restored the following day…but imagine if it was permanently shut down? Imagine if I (like many women) conducted 100% of my business in the DMs?

People, you need to own your audience!!!

Social media platforms are great for building brand awareness, but solely relying on them is risky. They are subject to algorithm changes, account suspensions, and shifts in user behavior that can significantly impact your reach and engagement. By building an audience on your own platform like a newsletter or a website, you maintain control over how you interact with your audience. This ownership ensures long-term stability and allows for deeper, more meaningful connections with your followers, without relying on the whims of social media algorithms.

The easiest way to start owning your audience is with an email list. Right now we like The Leap, made by the folks at Thinkific…and no they don’t pay us to say that! They have a very robust free tier which is great for experimenting with products and services.
