“Increase online sales” is a beautiful phrase to someone who’s been in ecommerce for over a decade.
Actually, it’s a beautiful phrase if you’ve been in ecommerce for like a day and a half! And when you add “by doing less work” onto it…holy cow! It’s like the heavens have opened and angels are singing, right?!
But…you might be thinking…is it a little too good to be true?
According to the amazing Elise Darma, it is NOT too good to be true and she’s back on the podcast to talk about all of the reasons why.
Wanna know what I think you’re going to be SUPER excited about? The fact that when it comes to using one of the latest—and hottest—social tools, you don’t have to have everything look so ding-dang perfect.
Yep—I said ding dang. But have you ever noticed that when you scroll through Instagram, so many images and videos look beautiful? In some cases…a little too beautiful to be believed.
But on TikTok? There, you can be a little less polished and a whole lot more yourself. How awesome in that?
Here’s the other thing that Elise underscores: batching work.
This is a concept I love—and that I love encouraging you to do. When you batch your work, your productivity can go crazy. You can get exponentially more work done, freeing you up to spend additional time on other aspects of your business.
