In today’s ever-changing landscape of quick dopamine hits on social media and a LOT of ‘noise’ amongst creators, keeping our audience engaged is more important than ever. People reflexively skip ads and run away from blatant sales pitches, but what do people lean in and listen to? Stories. Think about how tired YOU are of seeing the same ol’ buzzwords come across your screen. Your customers are, too! Akua Konadu is a storytelling strategist and social media educator who helps business owners lean into their gifts and create stories that engage with their audience and drive meaningful connections on social media. She is also host of the Independent Business podcast, powered by HoneyBook, where she breaks down the science of self-made success! In our conversation today, Akua is teaching us how to become our business and brand’s best storytellers and captivate the attention of our target customers. They can’t like and trust your offers until they know YOU. ‘Storyselling’ techniques aren’t just for the brands with big stories to tell — they’re for you, too.
