Episode notes

The first trap of an Insta Bay business is I need to have X number of followers before I can have a business. The second trap is that your success is measured by vanity metrics. And then the third trap, how many followers you have are determined by your follower count. We'll go through each of those one at a time and talk about some of the ways to avoid these traps.

This episode goes out to anyone who’s ever found yourself sucked into a marketing funnel, watching yet another free webinar, desperately trying to unsubscribe from the dozen follow-up emails, and finally getting free just to find your head spinning from everything you “should” be doing to grow your business.

I’ve started thinking of this as the “insta-bae business phenomenon” AKA the way online biz influencers sell quick fixes, ten-step solutions, and easy results with pretty promises and even prettier graphics.

So in today’s episode, I’m unpacking what I think an “insta-bae business” is and the three insta-bae business traps I see too many small business owners fall prey to.
