This week, I’m going with a theme — self-promotion. On Monday we talked about what’s not working, and on Friday, we talked about what good self-promotion looks like (links below). Today, though, let’s focus on getting comfortable with it. If promoting yourself makes you slightly uncomfortable, you’re not alone.
In this episode:
- This week’s episode is brought to you by QuickBooks Self Employed.
- Even after all this time, self-promotion still makes me nervous. I blame imposter syndrome and the fear of spamming people.
- Start small.
- Schedule it — it gives you the feeling of being slightly removed from it all.
- Only push stuff you believe in and will defend.
- Talk about it as part of your life. If it feels like “bragging,” you’re not alone. But it’s not, and your audience gets curious about what you do.
