Welcome to the Grow with Laura podcast where we talk about building income online as a beginner without confusion, pressure, or pretending to have it all figured out. My name is Laura, and this podcast is for digital beginners who are curious about online business, digital marketing, and using social media as a tool to build something meaningful. If you are learning, exploring, or trying to find your footing in this space, you are in the right place. In the last episode, we talked about why you do not need a lot of tools to start and how simplifying things is actually what helps you move forward. Today, we're stepping into platforms, and the first question is where should you even start? So let's get right into it. Okay, this is one of the biggest questions beginners have. Should I be on Instagram? Should I start TikTok? Should I do YouTube? Should I start a podcast? Should I be on LinkedIn? And the truth is, this is where many people slow themselves down. Because instead of choosing one, they try at the beginning to do everything. And when you try to do everything, you end up doing nothing well. So let's simplify this. You do not need to be everywhere to start. You need to be somewhere consistently. That is the difference. Every platform works, but no platform works if you are not consistent on it. So how do you choose? Um, so I broke this down a little bit. Okay. There are three simple things to consider. First, where do you feel most comfortable showing up? Do you enjoy talking on video? Do you prefer short-form content? Do you enjoy speaking more deeply? Second, where can you stay consistent? Not for a week, not for a burst of motivation, but consistently. I mean, there are always exceptions to the rule. Sometimes you've physically, or you know, for some reason you cannot be there. And that's okay. We talked about that. Give yourself grace. It could be whatever reason, you know, something personal that you know you really cannot show up, right? That's a different situation. But otherwise, you should be consistent, right? I wasn't able to be here for March. Personal, yes, I couldn't show up with my podcast for March. But I'm back again to give you some consistency, right? So so second, like I said, is uh where can you stay consistent? Right now, third, where is your audience likely to be if you're helping beginners? Instagram and TikTok are strong starting points. If you enjoy longer conversations, podcasting works well, just like we're doing now. But here's the key: you are not choosing your forever platform, you are choosing your starting points, and I mean you could end up staying there for a long time, forever, but when you start, it doesn't mean that that's where you have to remain, right? And that should feel relieving, right? Because you're like, okay, there's nothing that is scarved in stone that says I must stay here, right? Because you can always expand later or you can remain there, whatever you know rocks your boat, right? But right now, your goal is not expand expansion, it is consistency. So pick one, learn it, show up, and build from there. Because growth does not come from being everywhere, it comes from showing up in one place long enough for it to work. Now, in the next episode, we are going to start with Instagram and break down what it is really for beyond just posting content. Thank you so much for spending this time with me.
