If you are looking for your weekly dose of energy and good advice - you’ve come to the right place! 

Diversify your channels!

If you’ve been around the TAS community for very long, you know that Scott is passionate about helping sellers like you put your business in the best for long-term success. One of the best things you can do for your businesses future is to make sure your brand is not dependent on any one channel. Too often, businesses build a robust following on Facebook only to find their Facebook account flagged or suspended for a week or longer! If you follow Scott’s advice - that scenario is just a blip on the radar not catastrophic. To hear more about this critical topic, make sure to listen to this episode of The Amazing Seller! 

Know your audience

Do you know your audience like the back of your hand? Too often, business leaders are so focused on getting the right product that they fail to understand their target audience. Time and time again, Scott has championed the strategy for sellers to drill down and get to know their audience. You can follow Scott’s advice by joining Facebook groups and following influencers on Instagram and YouTube. Take it another step further by partnering with those influencers to expand your brand’s reach. Tune into this episode of The Amazing Seller to hear more!
