Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve completed more than 20 content audits.
These included free Instagram Post Audits and in-depth content reviews for my clients. And one thing kept standing out...
There are common mistakes showing up again and again – mistakes that are costing people sales.
As we head into Q4 (aka peak selling season), you want your content to actually help you make sales.
So in this two-part series of the How I Do Content Podcast, I’m breaking down the biggest mistakes I’ve uncovered in my content audits, plus how to fix them.
In this Part One I’m going to start with the most common mistake I’m seeing right now – not creating urgency in your content.
