That's the other thing too.

Our followers always know what's best.

They're so smart.

They're so brilliant.

They've got so many great ideas.

And so I think that it's about bringing them into the conversation, asking more questions, asking them their thoughts, asking them what they want more of.

And if you're someone that's listening to this and you're like, but Julie, I do ask and no one ever responds to me.

Don't have it be an open-ended ask.

That's what I mean by you've got to be really strategic with what you're asking.

You want to make sure that you're asking them a very specific question so they can give you a yes or no answer.

And I think a lot of times we'll ask a question, but it's very general and open-ended, which doesn't make it feel personalized enough for someone to engage.

So that's really huge.

And then I think, too, there's also so much power in peer collaboration that I don't think people really invest enough time in.

And when I was first starting out, this was way back in...

2013, 2014, 2015, I would collaborate with other, at the time, creators and online entrepreneurs that were similar to me.

They had similar audiences.

They were kind of on a similar path.

Back then there wasn't Instagram stories or anything.

So it'd be like, hey, let's do a, we would call them like a Instagram swap where I would go on their page for a day and they would come on my page for a day.

And we would just figure out ways to get in front of other people's audiences.
