Show Up If You Want to Grow –

My Buzz Blitz Strategy.

Growth doesn’t come from perfection. It comes from showing up. Here’s the behind-the-scenes of my Buzz Blitz — the posts, the ads, the misses — and the business growth strategy lesson I walked away with.

Organic engagement from ham cob post

Behind the Scenes: What I Actually Did

1. Organic reach with a ham salad cob 🍞🥗

One of my most active posts wasn’t slick or polished. It was a simple question: “What do you call a ham salad cob where you live?”
The responses poured in. People love sharing their local quirks. That activity boosted reach and showed Meta that my audience was alive and kicking.

👉 Sometimes, sod it, be bold. Don’t overthink — post the thing that sparks conversation.

Consistent ad theme with Invisible Man design

2. Paid ads with a consistent hook 👻

I ran ads with an Invisible Man theme. Why? Consistency. Each time the ad popped up, it built recognition. People might not always click, but they’d seen it before — and that counts.

This wasn’t about being flashy. It was about being visible.
👉 Stop being invisible.

Live updates from National Entrepreneurs Convention

3. Live updates from the NEC 🚆🎤

At the National Entrepreneurs Convention, I posted live updates — countdowns, snaps, moments from the floor. Imperfect, yes. But it gave urgency and momentum.

What Didn’t Work ❌

Not everything landed.

  • Some ads flopped. I switched them off quickly. No big deal.

  • Instagram and TikTok looked more promising for engagement. Next time, I’ll shift energy there.

👉 Don’t guess — test. What doesn’t work tells you just as much as what does.

The Big Lesson

My Buzz Blitz wasn’t powered by one magic post. It wasn’t “the perfect ad.”
It was about showing up — consistently, in different ways, with an end point in mind.

  • Consistency beats cleverness.

  • Visibility beats perfection.

  • Rhythm beats random.

That’s the business growth strategy I’ll take forward.

Thank You 🙏

To everyone who liked, commented, shared, or messaged during the Buzz Blitz — thank you. It made a real difference. Growth isn’t a solo sport, and your support helped me keep showing up.

FAQs :

  1. Why is showing up more important than a perfect ad?
    Because consistency creates visibility and trust. A single “perfect” ad is short-lived. Regular, visible activity compounds over time.

  2. How do you test what works in marketing?
    Try different formats, track engagement, and cut what doesn’t work quickly. Don’t guess — test.
