Alyece Smith is an ADHD business coach, TEDx speaker, founder of Socially Ausome, and author of the brand new book Flow-First Thinking.

   How This Spa Owner Turns One Black Friday Promo Into a Full Year of Revenue

   What if one promotion could carry your business for an entire year? That's exactly what Sophie Bel, owner of Peak Bloom Spa in St. Petersburg, Florida, built and it didn't happen by accident. Sophie went from a solo esthetician with one room and a free booking system to running a multi-room spa with a full team, doubled memberships year over year, and a single Black Friday event that brings in $15,000–$20,000 in one day. While her house was flooded and she was displaced for eight months, her systems kept running. Her clients never skipped a beat. In this episode, Sophie breaks down: Why constant promotions are quietly killing your business (and what to do instead) The pre-order list strategy that builds anticipation before you've even finalized your offer How she uses text message marketing, email, and automation to run a high-volume sales day completely remotely Why memberships are the foundation and how she doubled hers every year What turns a first-time client into a loyal one (it starts before they even walk in the door) The one mindset shift that separates consistently booked service providers from the ones stuck in feast-or-famine This is a masterclass in restraint, strategy, and building something that actually holds.

   TikTok Views To A List of 10k Leads in 90 Days | Views Don’t Build Businesses. Infrastructure Does.

   What happens when your content goes viral… but your business isn’t ready? When Shannon first started creating content on TikTok, she quickly experienced what many creators dream of, a viral video. But with 800 comments overnight and no funnel in place, she realized something important: Views don’t build businesses. Infrastructure does. In this episode of How She Built It, Shannon shares how she turned social media attention into a real business engine, generating 10,000+ leads, thousands of orders, and a scalable system that works even while she’s offline. We break down the strategy behind her growth and the lessons every content creator and entrepreneur should understand about turning attention into assets. Inside this episode we discuss: • How Shannon generated tens of thousands of leads using TikTok • Why repeating one clear message beats chasing trends • The moment she realized “just sending a link” wasn’t a strategy • What happens when content goes viral but you have no system in place • How lead capture, funnels, and automation changed her business • Why social media attention alone doesn’t create predictable revenue If you’re using social media to grow a business, this episode will shift how you think about content, leads, and infrastructure. Because at the end of the day: Attention is rented. Infrastructure is owned. 00:00 – How Shannon Built a Multi-Million Dollar Business from Social Media 00:45 – From PTSD to Purpose: The Accidental Entrepreneur Story 03:30 – Discovering Network Marketing and Online Business 05:00 – Finding TikTok and Building an Audience 08:30 – Why Repeating One Message Built Her Authority 12:00 – The Viral Video That Changed Everything 14:00 – 800 Comments Overnight… and No System 16:00 – Why “Just Sending a Link” Isn’t a Strategy 19:00 – Building a Funnel to Capture Leads 22:00 – The Shift from Click-and-Buy to Nurturing Leads 24:30 – How Automation Handles 100–300 Leads a Day 27:00 – Delegating Tech and Building a Real Team 29:00 – What Business Owners Get Wrong About Content Connect with Shannon Boyle TikTok (https://www.tiktok.com/@opti.vet.solutions?_r=1&_t=ZP-94PzBEEEskp) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/shannon.boyle.9279) Opti Vets (https://linktr.ee/optivet) Connect with Karrie Augustine Boyle: Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/karrie.augustineboyle?igsh=bXpvMDRlYXFicXcx&utm_source=qr) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/share/1awyc1gwo6/?mibextid=wwXIfr)
