And, quite honestly, building first Superfans is so much more fun than search engine optimization." 08:10 "I think building for those magical moments in your business, in your following, no matter how big or small it is, is the key to growth and success and future-proofing your brand." 08:36 "Focusing on creating Superfans is more important than any other activity in your business. It"s more important than getting more traffic, more followers, more views, or more subscribers. It"s even more important than building your email list and acquiring more customers because, when you focus on this as a byproduct, you"ll get more traffic, followers, views, and subscribers." 13:23 "That"s your advantage being small, you have the opportunity to give some extra care to those initial subscribers, the initial traffic that"s coming to your website. If you have 20 people on your email list, go reach out, have a phone conversation with each of them." 14:48 "When you find the problems, you find the profit." 23:34 "With any of your Instagram followers, for example, and it doesn"t have to be Instagram, it could be anywhere, but send a direct message to somebody who"s following you and instead of just texting it, shoot a quick video. And I"ll tell you, the response is going to blow you away." "We all have the ability to become someone"s favorite."
