You Don’t Need More Posts. You Need a System.

It’s National Blame Someone Else Day—Let’s Use It to Build Your List (for real)

Yes, it’s actually a holiday—and no, we’re not just here for the memes.
We’re using it to do what most online sellers skip:
Turn relatable, scroll-stopping content into potential customers.

Because here’s the truth:

Most of your audience has been following bad advice—and it’s tanking their sales.
And if you’re not talking about it?
You’re missing the perfect chance to show them a better way (aka the one that builds your list and your biz).

Most people won’t say this part out loud, but I will:

Why That Advice Is Killing Your Conversions

Let’s break it down:

→ “Just post more” = more noise without a clear strategy
→ “Send the link” = zero follow-up, zero nurture, zero data
→ “You don’t need a list” = no way to re-engage people who aren’t ready yet

None of this builds trust.
None of this guides people toward the sale.
And none of it puts you in control of the next step.

👉🏻 That’s why content can go viral… and still leave you with one order.
It’s not more effort you need—it’s a better system.

Step 1: Call Out the Advice They’ve Been Given

If you want to grab attention, start with what they’ve heard 100 times… and gently burn it to the ground 🔥

Here are some examples by niche:

Health & Wellness:

• “Just cut carbs.”

• “Drink more water.”

• “Do more cardio.”

Skincare & Beauty:

• “Use coconut oil for everything.”

• “Just wash with cold water.”

• “Expensive doesn’t mean better.”

For Online Biz Owners, Creators, and Affiliates:

• “Just post more—consistency is key!”

• “Make a flyer and blast it everywhere.”

• “Just drop the link—if they want it, they’ll buy.”

• “DM everyone who engages. No excuses.”

Your audience is out here trying all the things...
And still wondering why no one’s buying.

Step 2: Flip the Script—Tell the Real Story

This is where your content gets powerful.
Use the P.A.T.H. method to turn bad advice into list-building, story-driven value.

Let’s walk through an example in the health space 👇🏻

“I used to believe I just needed to cut carbs. Everyone said that was the secret.” (Pain)
“Then I learned how to fuel my body with protein—without feeling deprived.” (Aha)
“I dropped 9 lbs, had more energy, and wasn’t thinking about food all day.” (Transformation)
“I turned it into a free grocery list + daily tracker—want it?” (Help)

That’s what shifts people from scrolling to submitting their email.

You’re not just giving advice.
You’re giving a quick win—and a reason to stay in your world.

Step 3: Give Them Something to Grab (Not Just a Link)

The biggest mistake most online sellers make?

👉🏻 They drop a link in the DMs?

👉🏻 Or say “link in bio” and hope for the best

That’s not strategy.
That’s a dead end.

Instead?
Offer something they want to opt into:

✅ “Grab my exact tracker”
✅ “Get early access to our summer drop”
✅ “Want the free sample guide that breaks it all down?”
✅ “I turned everything I wish I knew into a free resource—want it?”

This is how you move from attention to action.
From “link please” to actual customer notifications.
