QUOTABLES: “You can talk about a multitude of different things as long as what you're talking about serves your ideal audience, serves your ideal buyer, and it also reflects and goes back to what it is that you specialize in." — Julie “Attraction-based marketing is actually positioned to collapse the purchasing time and to attract the people that are ready to buy today. Because it's designed around the “I'm done” moment. It's designed around…“I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired…I'm so tired of not having an answer to the solution…I'm so tired of being frustrated.” — Julie “At the end of the day, our followers don't care about us.They care about themselves. No one cares about what we're doing or what we're thinking or what's happening because they're too busy thinking about themselves or too busy caring about themselves. And so when someone comes on your page, the first thing that they're thinking of is not you. They're thinking, how does this help me? How does this support me? How does this make me feel better?” — Julie RESOURCES: [FREE] Are you a content creator ready to take your brand collaborations to new heights?
