Let me tell you

Let me tell you 3 stories that helps build communities that converts. Let me tell you 3 types of stories that has helped me build a community that's always shows up. That always takes action. And that always, always, always leads to sales. I'm not talking about gathering random people to follow you. I am talking about building a community. Three stories that has helped me build this community. With examples. Number 1. The before and after story. The before and after story. This is one of the most powerful types of storytelling. It simply shows who you used to be, versus who you are becoming. See, one of the things people love, especially on social media, is transformation. They love to see where you were before and where you are now. No matter how little it is. And this is why I always encourage people, especially business owners, to make sure to carry, even if it is the tiniest win, like it is something so big. Because people love transformation. For example, I remember 3 years ago, I never made a single sale online, but today, I have built a digital business that allows me to work from anywhere. Two years ago, I was terrified of speaking in public, and today, I just finished speaking at my fifth event. The key here is not to make yourself look perfect or to be boastful. The point is to show the gap between where you started and where you are now. That gap creates relatability. And relatable content builds community. Number 2. The open book story. Radical transparency storytelling. This is where you share things most people hide. Not for attention, but for honesty. For example, here are 5 things I have tried before 25 completely failed. Or something like, these 3 business decisions I made cost me so much money. Types of stories like this work because people are tired of polished perfection online. They want to connect with real life experiences. And when people feel like you are honest with them, they start trusting you. And trust is the foundation of community building. Number 3. The mirror story. This is what I call the mirror story. A mirror story is when you talk about your life in a way that it mirrors your audience experiences. It makes your audience quietly think, "Wow, this is me. I can relate to this." I am currently in this position. And this is not advice, it is not teaching. It is simply sharing moments of your life that reflect experiences that many people are going through. For example, these are 5 moments that changed the way I see life. And you share simple, powerful experiences that made you realize that nobody actually figured it out. Or even the moment that waiting for permission was holding you back. Example: 5 things I had to let go of at 24. And inside this story, you talk about letting go of the pressure to have everything figured out. Letting go of friendships that no longer felt aligned. And maybe letting go of the fear of starting over. These stories work because they feel like a reflection of your audience lives. People read them and think, "This person understands what I'm going through." So if you think about communities, strong communities are built on these three pillars. One, the before and after story, transformational story. Two, the open book story, transparency story. And three, the mirror story, which is the relatable story. This alone can completely change how people connect with your content. And this is why I have decided to put something very practical together. In April, I am going to be launching a 1 month hands-on community building program. And this is not about growing followers. One month, we're going to build, nurture and grow your community from scratch. We're going to create your lead generation system. We're going to design your content storytelling strategy. And we're going to take you through the process of nurturing your community properly. And most importantly, how to turn that community into real sales and real impact. Because the goal isn't to have people just watching you. The goal is to have people believing in what you're building. So if you know you'll love to be part of this, just comment the word COMMUNITY under this post. And I'll send you the link for the waitlist to get ready to get started. I hope you found this helpful. I'll see you on the next one.
