S2 EP26: Why Your Viral Content Isn't Growing Your Business (And What Actually Works)

From Overlooked to Fully Booked ®

Are you creating content that gets loads of engagement but struggles to convert viewers into followers and customers? You're not alone! After working with hundreds of entrepreneurs, I've discovered there's a massive difference between content that simply entertains and content that actually grows your business.

In this week's episode, I'm sharing my updated content framework that's working brilliantly in 2025. You'll discover the psychology behind content that makes people hit the follow button, why most "engaging" content fails to bring in new clients, and the strategic approach that transforms browsers into buyers.

This isn't just theory – these are the exact strategies I'm using to grow my own audience and help my clients become fully booked. If you've been posting consistently but not seeing the growth you want, this episode is a must listen for your content strategy.

Action Steps

1. Audit Your Last 10 Posts - Review your recent content and categorise how many created "saveable moments" versus "look at me" moments that only showcased your success.
2. Apply the Psychology Principle - Before publishing your next piece of content, ask yourself: "Will this make my audience feel smarter, more confident, or more capable?"
3. Develop Strategic Content Pillars - Analyse your last 10 discovery calls or client conversations. What problems came up repeatedly? Use these real conversations to inform your content themes.
4. Implement the Three Content Types - Create one piece each of problem solving content, insight sharing content, and behind the scenes content this week.
5. Plan Your Repurposing Strategy - Take your most successful piece of content from the last month and create a plan to turn it into at least 5 different formats.
