If you think your audience is paying attention to everything you do, you’re wrong.

Your customers and prospects are over stimulated from an onslaught of information. Sadly, to keep pace we need to deliver our messages over and over again and in multiple different ways.

Here’s a quick take from Dickie Bush on X…

For those of you paying close attention to Freelance Friends (likely only a few, and we don’t blame you if you’re not) - we’ve been publishing the same content in different ways across our socials, blog and in this newsletter recently.

If you didn’t notice - then this highlights the point on why you need to distribute your content more freely. Not everyone is checking every area of consumption (socials, blogs, emails etc…).

Get comfortable repeating yourself.

Anyway, that was just our mini FSA (Freelance Service Announcement). We’ll continue to post this type of content across more platforms in the future + our newsletter subscribers will get a bit extra from time to time. Like this PSA.
