🔹 Create Once, Use Everywhere – A podcast, blog, or video series can be turned into social posts, emails, and more. This saves time and keeps your message clear.

🔹 Start with a Small Paid Offer – A low-cost service, like a strategy session or project review, helps clients get to know you. It builds trust and makes the next step feel natural.

Key Takeaways...

Creating Excitement with FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)

May King Tsang talks about using FOMO to build excitement around your business. You can do this in three ways:

• Before an event – Create anticipation and get people talking.
• During the event – Keep the energy high by sharing updates and engaging with your audience.
• After the event – Keep the buzz going so people stay interested and don’t want to miss the next one.

Showing Up Consistently & Being Yourself

Being active on social media isn’t just about business. Sharing your work, personal stories, and daily life helps people get to know, like, and trust you. The more real you are, the more people will want to connect and engage with you.

Keeping It Simple & Taking Action

You don’t need fancy equipment to make great content—your phone is enough. The most important thing is to start posting. When you show up regularly, even silent followers (the ones watching but not commenting) may turn into future clients.

Know Your Ideal Client

To grow your business on LinkedIn, you need to really understand who you want to reach. Think beyond job titles and locations—what problems do they have? What do they want to achieve? When you know this, you can create content that speaks to them.

Get Involved

Don’t just scroll and like posts—start real conversations. Comment, ask questions, and join discussions. The more you engage, the more people will notice you, helping you build stronger relationships and new business opportunities.

Share Helpful Content

Your posts should help, not just sell. Share tips, insights, and solutions to your audience’s problems. Mix it up with videos, images, and case studies to keep things interesting and easy to engage with.
