EP #49: How To Handle Going Viral as a Local Business

Going viral on social media can be a lot of fun, but have you ever thought about what would happen if you had THAT much local demand at once?

As a small business, you don't have enough availability or product to go around. So how should you handle all those disappointed people... and keep them happily coming back?

Learn from me... I had a viral snafu a couple years ago. Imagine 1000s of people showing up unexpectedly and not having enough room to get in the door. 

But I made a plan for the next time I went viral. And you should too before it ever happens. Because you never know which post will take off. 


Tune into today's episode to learn:

• How to create a simple plan to handle the local demand when you go viral as a service-based or product-based business
• The hard lessons I learned from going viral and how I prepared for it the second time
• How to communicate with your local audience in a stress-free way so they want to come back again
