Selling a high ticket service? 

In this episode, I’m breaking down why traditional content marketing doesn’t always work for high ticket offers, and what to do instead to create content that converts. 

We’ll talk about why trust building is non-negotiable for high ticket services, the three types of posts that create real client connections and drive content that converts, and how to shift from shouting into the void to a soul-centered engagement strategy. I’ll also share what I learned from helping a grief coach land clients, without changing her offer, and why relationship marketing is the secret weapon for sustainable lead generation.

If you're a coach, consultant, or creative with a high ticket service, this episode is your permission slip to stop chasing trends and start building real relationships. 

So grab a cozy drink, open that notes app, and let’s turn your content into conversations that convert.

You’re posting consistently, showing up in stories, maybe even trying the latest Reels trends. But still, nothing. No DMs, no sales, no real conversations. Just silence.

In this episode, I’m sharing what most marketing experts rarely talk about: why great posts alone don’t lead to conversions and what your strategy might be missing. We’ll unpack the importance of proactive engagement and having a real plan for relationship marketing.

If you’re a service-based business or high-trust brand, this is your turning point. Because visibility without connection is just noise.

You’ll learn why social media engagement is more than just likes and shares and how to make it truly meaningful. We’ll dive into how to turn your online presence into a powerful lead-generating machine, what content that converts really looks like (and why most entrepreneurs miss the mark), and how to stop chasing vanity metrics in favor of strategies that drive real small business growth. Most importantly, you’ll discover how to build real connections and trust with your audience without feeling salesy or burning out.

We’ll walk through a new way to show up online. One that’s rooted in trust, strategy, and actual results. You don’t need to go viral. You need a plan that turns followers into buyers and content into conversations.

So if you're ready to trade burnout for aligned lead generation, hit play. This might just change how you do business on social.

Does your content get seen but never seem to connect? You’re posting, you’re showing up, you’re even trying Reels… but no DMs, no sales, no real conversations.

In this episode, I’m sharing the truth that most marketing experts don’t talk about. Creating more content doesn't automatically mean you'll get more clients. The real issue?

You’ll learn what social media engagement really means (it’s more than just likes), why client engagement is the new marketing currency, and how to build real relationships without feeling salesy. We’ll talk about the surprising role of organic reach, how to stop chasing vanity metrics, and what it takes to create content that converts. Plus, we’ll talk about how to use relationship marketing and intentional engagement to turn your profile from a content library into a conversion machine. And the best part? It won’t drain your energy or require you to be online 24/7.

So if you’re ready for a digital marketing strategy that’s rooted in connection and actually gets results, this episode is the right one for you!
