Are you building your audience the smart way—or just throwing spaghetti at the wall, hoping something sticks? In this episode, I’m diving into one of the biggest challenges for online business owners: growing an audience without burning out. Whether you’re starting from scratch, pivoting to a new niche, or adding a new segment to your business, the key is strategy, not chaos!

I’ll walk you through the big mistakes to avoid when building your audience—like trying to be everywhere at once or switching tactics too quickly—and why consistency and patience are essential for success. Then, I’ll share my step-by-step approach, including how to craft a hyper-specific freebie designed to attract the right people, leveraging Facebook groups, running low-cost ads, and more.

Tune in to learn how to build a quality audience that’s ready to buy what you offer. And remember, it’s not about having the most followers—it’s about creating meaningful connections with the right ones. Let’s trade spaghetti for strategy and grow your audience the savvy way!
