SUMMARY:The Anti-Viral Strategy: Why Chasing Views is Making Your Business Sick
DESCRIPTION:Instead of brainstorming from scratch\, you will learn a simple\, repeatable\, low lift routine. \n\n\n\n\nAfter burning out on the unnecessarily aggressive demands of the algorithm\, Brenna Elise realized that treating a business like an “influencer” account is a recipe for exhaustion and no consistent revenue. This workshop helps overwhelmed entrepreneurs break free from the pressures of chasing trends and the illusion that “going viral” guarantees profitability. \nInstead of brainstorming from scratch\, you will learn a simple\, repeatable\, low lift routine that turns what you’re already doing everyday into content that has the best chance to drive sales. We are shifting the focus away from vanity metrics and onto your bottom line. Best of all\, you’ll have a post that has conversion potential before the end of the session. \nEvent Details \nDate: Tuesday\, September 29\, 2026\nTime: 2:00PM – 3:OOPM \nLocation: Launch SA
