Are you tired of posting amazing content that barely gets seen? Same. That’s why I created something totally different—a game. Yes, a real game to get your content out there in a way that’s strategic and fun. In this replay of episode 351, I’m walking you through the Viral Visibility Game—a free opt-in and a powerful method to flip the script on the usual “post and pray” strategy. I explain how I turned the frustrating process of content promotion into a point-based system you’ll actually want to stick with. It's not about gimmicks, trends, or exhausting engagement hacks. It’s about creating a real, repeatable plan to boost your visibility without burning out. Join the game >> Mentioned in this Episode Boldfluence Thrive Facebook Community Shift Viral Visibility Game

Listen in as I share what it really means to run a sustainable business as a creator, how to create long-term plans that work, and why your creativity can’t survive on scraps of leftover time and energy.
