EP 298: 3 Powerful Ways to Show Up REAL, Unedited & Raw on Social Media
Wed Feb 04 2026
Are you struggling to grow your direct selling business because some social media strategies just don’t feel like you? In this powerful solo episode of the Direct Selling Accelerator Podcast, I’m breaking down why you’re not selling a product - you’re selling yourself. Plus, with so much AI-generated content around now, platforms like Instagram and Facebook are prioritising real, raw, and relatable content more than ever.
In this episode, I share three essential strategies to help you show up authentically on social media, build trust with your audience, and grow your business without pretending to be someone you’re not. We talk about why perfection is hurting your results, how sharing the messy middle creates connection, and why simply hitting record can be the most powerful move you make.
If you want more engagement, stronger relationships, and sustainable growth, this episode is a must-watch.
