Why people buy (and what that means for your content)

Have you ever found yourself thinking “Why isn’t my content converting?”  In this episode of The Powerful Content Podcast, Mel Daniels dives into a question that can shift how you approach every single piece of content you create: Why do people actually buy?

She’ll walk you through the three core reasons you decide to hit that “buy now” button and more importantly, how those reasons apply to your content. She explores why connection, ideas, and belief play such a big role in the journey with you, and how you can use them to create content that not only feels aligned, but actually moves your business forward.

You’ll also hear about how these three reasons map beautifully to the client journey, plus, as always, there are some reflection questions to help you apply what you learn straight away.

This one’s part strategy, part mindset shift to help you feel more confident in the way you’re showing up.
