The Video That Stopped My Scroll
I was scrolling through Instagram watching random videos, listening but not really paying attention, as one does, when suddenly I heard a voice through my phone that formed a sentence that stopped me dead in my tracks.
I heard a woman talking about a necklace she was making where she was using a semen sample. Yes, you heard that right — a semen sample was sent to her that she’s going to now put into this necklace.
Of course, with my interest piqued, I had to go look at her profile and learn more about who she is and what she does. And I learned that this is, in fact, her business. She has customers sending in semen samples that she then turns into a powder that she will put into some clay and create different shapes with — necklaces and keychains and other things.
The Business That Made Me Do a Double Take
Now, my first thought was the same as I’m sure anyone else’s, which is whoa. This is such a weird business.
How did you think of this?
Who is sending in their samples?
Who is she selling this product to?
Who’s actually going through the process of collecting a sample and putting it in the mail to create this one-of-a-kind, very unique, and extremely personal necklace?
Well, apparently lots of people. And that’s proven because she’s been able to take this idea and turn it into a business and create multiple different videos without repeating the same necklace over and over again, as she is making different types of jewelry.
All because she found an extremely unique niche, which — kudos to her.
The Real Lesson in How to Get Attention for Your Business
But also, she is not afraid to talk about something interesting online.
She shares her business online. Sure, she could be afraid of the trolls. I’m sure she gets so many negative comments every day, but she shows up.
She is catching attention and, whether people love it or hate it, she understands how to get attention for your business. You might be reading this article right now and thinking so many different things in your head, but guess what?
You were thinking about her business.
The Question Every Business Owner Should Ask
And I want to ask you:
How many people are talking about your business?
How many times do you show up online to talk about your business?
And if the answer is not very often, then I have to ask you why?
What is stopping you from showing up online and talking about your business that you believe in? Because I don’t think you would start a business if you weren’t passionate, if you didn’t believe in the purpose of it.
When she is not afraid to get up there and talk about how she is literally taking this semen, having men do some scientific arts and crafts with it, and then sending it to a girlfriend, a wife, a partner — whoever.
Attention Is the Currency
In my opinion, it’s better to have people mocking you and making fun of you because at least they’re talking about you.
If they’re not talking about you, no one even knows that you exist.
