The Pushy Pitch
Almost every post sells, and your audience has tuned out.
Diagnosis
What it is
Every post ends with a link, a discount, or "DM me." You mean well. You need sales. But your readers have learned to scroll past.
When everything is an ad, nothing is. People stop trusting the helpful parts because they know the pitch is coming.
The fix is not to stop selling. It's to earn the sale with posts that give first.
Common symptoms
- Most of your posts mention your offer or a link.
- Views have dropped over time.
- Replies are mostly from bots or other sellers.
- You feel pressure to make every post "count."
Why it happens
When money's tight, every post feels like it should earn its keep. But trust is the real currency. Giving posts build it; selling posts spend it.
30-second self-test
Look at your last 10 posts. If more than three ask people to buy, click, or DM, you've got The Pushy Pitch.
