It’s a wild and crazy world out there in the land of social media and everyone is always asking us, “How do I grow my following?”

And while there are a million different ways to grow your brand and increase your following, we believe in the power of one simple truth. 

You must be authentic.

Stay true to who you are and what you have to offer without looking at others and replicating their actions. People need to be able to connect with you in order to buy into your product and service and they need to know they are getting the truth when they hear from you. Buy in comes from trust. Trust comes from authenticity.

So how can you stay authentic online? Great question. We just so happen to have some pointers. 

1. Share your story. Who are you? Where have you been? Where are you going?
2. Show up consistently. Even on the hard days. Even when your hair is crazy and your clothes aren’t clean. 
3. Give glimpses into your daily life. What is your morning routine? What are your weekend plans? Share little snippets of you outside of work. 
4. Connect with others and cheer them on. Join in community with other entrepreneurs and celebrate their work. You can join our favorite community HERE!
5. Be honest. When something doesn’t work, share it. When something blew you away, share about it. 

And we get it; this isn’t all you can do to be growing your audience or remaining authentic, but it’s a great start. Especially if you’re just beginning your business journey. Start with an authentic heart and your audience will be hooked right from the beginning.
