054 3 Tiny Audience Warm-Up Tricks That Convert Better Than a 10k Follower Count

Hi, I’m Sarah Almond Bushell, and if you’ve ever wondered why people are watching your stories, liking your posts, but still not buying, then you’re in the right place. Today, we’re diving into the real reason your audience isn’t converting. Spoiler alert: it’s not your offer or content. It’s because you’ve skipped the most overlooked step in marketing strategy.

In this episode, I’m sharing how to build trust in teeny tiny ways that quietly but powerfully warm up your audience to work with you. These micro conversions are simple, quick, and perfect for busy business owners juggling life, work, and reheated coffee.

Episode Summary

You’re showing up online, sharing tips, posting stories, and still… nothing. It’s not you. The issue is your audience hasn’t been warmed up enough yet. Selling straight from a hello is like proposing marriage on a first date. Micro conversions are the gentle breadcrumbs that build trust and connection over time, helping your audience feel seen, understood, and ready to say yes.

Key Takeaways

1. Micro conversions are magic: Small actions like polls and questions create big results.
2. Actionable content is key: Add tiny calls to action to every post.
3. Use Instagram stories daily: Polls, sliders, and question boxes make engagement easy.
4. Start conversations: End posts with fun, low-stakes questions.
5. Trust the process: You don’t need a big audience, just the right actions.
