Key Takeaways:

1. Get Clear on Your Niche
   • Lack of focus is a top reason creators quit. Having a clear niche simplifies content creation and attracts the right audience.
   • Use the free resource, Pinpoint Your Passion, to narrow down your interests, identify your strengths, and find your field of favor. [Link in show notes.]
   • Example: Kelly Radcliff niched down to zinnias and saw massive growth, building an Instagram following of 250,000+.
2. Commit to Consistency
   • Consistency builds trust and interest, two keys to audience growth.
   • Define what consistency looks like for you—weekly blog posts, daily social media updates, or monthly newsletters.
   • Apply consistency to your marketing strategy. Use three to five SEO keywords repeatedly across your content and branding to drive traffic and build familiarity.
3. Avoid Content Fade
   • Content fade, or burnout from constant content creation, is a major obstacle for creators.
   • Focus on creating impactful content that resonates with your audience, not just churning out posts to "throw spaghetti at the wall."
   • Don’t get lost “in the weeds” of endless editing and overthinking. Aim for "good enough" content and prioritize getting it out there.

Pro Tip: Perfect is the enemy of progress. Set limits on editing time and prioritize consistency over perfection. Your audience cares more about how you make them feel than every detail of your content.
