SUMMARY:Social Media That Sells: Build Traffic\, Leads & Online Funnels
DESCRIPTION:Most business owners chase followers. The ones who win chase engagement\, because followers don’t buy. Engaged communities do. \n\n\n\nJoin Jocelyn Ho of Rare Plant Fairy\, Jason Brown of The Brown Report\, and Brian and Alexis Cole of The Cole Life for a no-fluff learning event built to help you turn attention into revenue. \n\n\n\nJocelyn Ho did over $1M in organic sales before she even had a website. No ads. No funnel. Just Instagram and private Facebook groups\, where customers typed “sold” in the comments and she shipped from her guest bedroom. She grew an audience of 250\,000+ followers\, was invited by Meta to share how she did it\, and will tell you why followers were never the point. She’ll teach you how to build a real community\, drive engagement that converts\, and turn an audience into buyers\, without paying for reach. \n\n\n\nJason Brown of The Brown Report will take you behind the scenes of a million-dollar funnel and ads strategy. He’ll break down one of his highest converting online funnels\, how to turn strangers into customers for just $5 a day\, and why every business should have a 24/7 automated sales rep. \n\n\n\nBrian and Alexis Cole of The Cole Life have built a community of 1.8M+ followers and partnered with major brands including Amazon\, Walmart\, and Disney. They now help businesses elevate their digital presence through intentional strategy and storytelling. In this session\, they’ll share how to use authentic content and storytelling to grow brand awareness\, connect with your audience\, and convert them into loyal customers. \n\n\n\nTogether\, they’ll show you how to: \n\n\n\n\nBuild an audience that actually buys\, not just scrolls\n\n\n\nMove past vanity metrics and focus on what drives revenue\n\n\n\nUse organic content to create trust and demand\n\n\n\nLayer in paid ads and funnels to scale what’s working\n\n\n\nConvert attention into leads\, customers\, and revenue\n\n\n\n\nThis event is for entrepreneurs\, creators\, coaches\, consultants\, and service-based business owners who are done guessing and ready to use social media with a clear\, proven strategy. \n\n\n\nCome for the tactics. Leave with a system.
