Conference Theme

Grow Your Biz Without Social (virtual event)

Make social media marketing optional in your business for faith-fueled entrepreneurs

Target Audience:

Christian entrepreneurs in the online business space at all different stages who want to create, grow, and/or scale their businesses to make both an impact and an income while allowing God to lead their steps.
Who are tired of trying to market their business on social media and want to gain back those hours to intentionally work on more long-term ways to grow. They aren’t excited about social media anymore, maybe they want to get off entirely, but they’re concerned it will hurt their business.
Who are ready for deeper relationships and connections rather than fleeting ones in their scroll.
Who are tired of doing things the hustle culture way and want a more simple path.

The Vision:

The vision for this event is to give faith-fueled entrepreneurs permission to get off social (or limit it) for their business and to show them there is a better way. I want to give attendees a plethora of other viable options to market their business effectively, gain visibility, and grow. My mission is to help others avoid getting sucked into the social media rabbit hole, spending all their time creating content there, when there are so many other wonderful ways to collaborate with other entrepreneurs and connect with their target customer.

The Transformation:

Attendees will feel empowered to spend intentional time where they want to in business and will have the tools to either 1) get off social media for good or 2) limit it to what they actually want to do on social rather than all the “have-to-dos.”

Topic Ideas (meant to be suggestions/ideas only):

Get off social and grow (topics based on mindset shifts and overcoming obstacles)
Connection through collaboration – summits, bundles, JV partnerships, freebie swaps, guest podcasting, guest writing, live events, networking events
How to get great testimonials/case studies and what to do with them
Using direct connections or word of mouth without feeling salesy
Nurturing with email marketing
Grow with SEO – strategies for blogging, podcasting, or YouTube
Goal planning and strategy for marketing without social
