Good morning. I’m Stephen Woessner, the CEO of Predictive ROI and the host of our daily podcast for business owners called Onward Nation.

I hope you’ve had a wonderful week.

However it is that you’ve come to our website, I want to thank you. Listeners of the Onward Nation Podcast know that I say this often — and if you’re a listener, I cannot thank you enough — but I am so grateful that you would spend some of your valuable time with us by listening to Onward Nation — and — reading this blog post. We all have the same 86,400 seconds in our day — and I thank you — from the bottom of my heart — for spending some of your time with us.

Normally in these Friday blogs I focus on a lesson that one of our guests shared with us — but today I’m going to something a little different. Today I’m going to be talking to you about my solocast from this week. If you’re not familiar with my solocasts — these are episodes where, instead of interviewing a guest, I go an inch wide and a mile deep on a topic.

In this week’s solocast, I talked about how and why you need to build a digital platform. Why is it so important to build a digital platform? A digital platform is necessary for growing revenue for your business.

In the episode, I dive deep into lessons I’ve learned from Gary Vee. Gary is the founder of Vaynermedia and a social media expert — but he didn’t find success quickly. The episode contains the story of how he worked tirelessly for years to get into the position he is today.

And — I also share the steps that you can use to build your own digital platform:

1. Find out where your customers hang out.
2. Create a content strategy.
3. Ignore the Imposter Syndrome.
4. Execute your strategy — push the launch button!
5. Don’t stop.

And you can listen to the full episode here for a much deeper dive into these strategies.

Thanks for reading.

Onward with gusto!
