DONT BE ALARMED!!! this isn't some "make an extra $10K in 10 minutes" scheme BAHHAHAH no thanks. we talk A TON about a human-first POV to content and the same thing goes with selling. my first big launch of 2024 was a digital course, SOCIAL STAND OUT 2.0, and because of that launch, i hit my highest sales month YET: $60K. we luv a "passive income" moment but WE EXTRA LUV "live-time" collaboration. the YOU-CODED minimind was an offer i've been sitting on for 1 year and i  finally brought it to life in 2024 aka THE BEST GIRL GROUP EVERRRRRR <3. something about sales gives slimy car salesmen, not to mention the endless scams online, so in this episode i'm breaking down the strategies + tactics + mental notes i used to:  * sell out my first minimind ever on mainly IG stories * launch WITHOUT a formal launch plan or overly "selling on feed" * sell WITHOUT any ads * have the most fun, "light-weight", vibeyyyy launch ever that brought $20K in sales BUT WAIT...there's MORE! LOL i'm no sales expert BUT i'm linking my episode with Natasha Zork, business mentor and sales queeneeeen, so you can get her expert take on selling without the ick (the perfect step 2 after tuning into this one!)  POD EPISODE WITH NATASHA  [https://open.spotify.com/episode/7dg2zSltbfcNvxjVhBgEwO?si=lPsOJi3UR2K8_QY1xeZl2Q] LET'S VIBE: Instagram @inspiredmedico [https://www.instagram.com/inspiredmediaco/] TikTok @inspiredmediaco [https://www.tiktok.com/@inspiredmediaco] RESOURCES: NOW BOOKING for social media management [https://management.inspiredmediaco.com/] Opt into SOCIAL STAND OUT 2.0: the social strategy blueprint [https://socialstandout.inspiredmediaco.com/] Pre-Book your 1:1 Social Strategy Intensive [https://intensive.inspiredmediaco.com/home] Join the Waitlist for 1:1 Social Strategy Coaching [https://coaching.inspiredmediaco.com/] SHOP (affiliate link) : Fave content + life recs [https://www.amazon.com/shop/inspiredmediaco?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsfinspiredmediaco_XD34QCB0BPC48BAPF6CS]
