Sharing all the stuff we quit over the past year (and made more money)

from The Branding Fix

Everyone in this space tells you to do MORE! So post more, add another platform, launch another product, buy another tool. We did the opposite. Over the last year, we quit a whole list of "best practices" and tools everyone swears you need and our income went UP, not down.In this live coworking session, we're not adding to your plate; we're handing you the list of things you can put DOWN today and probably grow faster because of it. Then we're going live in the chat to tell YOU what you're allowed to quit.⚠️ This isn't lazy advice. It's the difference between being busy and being paid.WHAT WE GET INTO:→ Why "do more" is the default advice (and who profits from it)→ The 8 things we quit: batching, keyword chasing, daily posting, 5 platforms, paywalls, the "brand voice," the course treadmill, comparison→ What actually happened to our traffic and income after each one→ The test for what YOU should quit vs. keep→ LIVE: drop the thing you're most exhausted by and we'll give you a verdict; quit it, tweak it, or keep it 👇 What's ONE thing you're quitting after today? Tell us in the chat.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Do Less Earn More01:27 Letting Go of SEO02:44 Poll What Exhausts You04:36 Why Everyone Pushes More10:18 Stop Over Optimizing21:20 Things We Quit List22:32 Ditch Quiz Lead Magnets25:41 Cut Platforms and Posting27:41 Kill Popups and Freebies36:47 Stop Buying Templates Gear43:24 Start Simple Promote Later46:04 Name Brand Pricing47:12 Duct Tape Creator Hacks48:39 Search Traffic Comeback50:25 Quit Paywalls Gatekeeping51:55 Opportunity Income Stories57:47 How To Know Quit58:28 Podcast Cut Example01:01:18 Stress Tools Analytics01:05:22 Trim Platforms Focus01:07:34 75 Hard Check In01:10:50 Fall Content Planning01:12:39 Million Dollar Myth01:14:17 Virtual Assistant Reality01:18:30 Decision Fatigue Advice01:29:46 Wrap Up Next LiveWatch Next (links):▶️ Fix Your Brand Challenge▶️ We Stopped Batching Content (Here's What Happened)▶️ We Stopped Chasing Keywords▶️ We Removed All Paywalls👇 JOIN THE FIX YOUR BRAND CHALLENGE:https://youtu.be/M8ZPlEzd_90💼 ABOUT THE BRANDING FIX:We're two solo bloggers documenting how we rebuild and future-proof our content and brand.🔔 New videos every Friday!
