However, it is just this superhero mode that sometimes gives you the potential to become a kind of victim magnet.โ๏ธ๐งฒ In terms of your digital communication, you are a bubbling fountain of awesome solutions, impulses and just the right kick in the butt that your community and your customers need right now. ๐ชโญ But - well, your fanbase in particular, which hasn't yet invested in you and your offers, often gets used to it quickly and - to your frustration - is just satisfied with having listened to you.๐๐ง Uh, yeah, and that's all that's gonna happen.๐

The fact is: you are clearly seen as an authority and expert in your field.๐ This field is often quite broad because you somehow have a solution for every topic.โ๏ธ What's important: people come to you and they know that it's a privilege to have the opportunity to work with you and to get a solution to their problems. ๐ However, you are not even aware of these "problems" as being problems - simply because the solution seems so obvious to you and - attention! - not worth mentioning.๐ You are sometimes surprised yourself at how easy communication is for you and you enjoy the fact that it comes so easily to you.๐
At the same time, you know that exactly this thing that sometimes comes so creepily easy to you appears like pure magic to others.๐ฉ๐๐ช In general, you have none or very few of these enthusiastic "Oh my God! I've done it!" moments. Instead, you're just cool about it and - even if everyone is super excited about you - you don't make any drama out of it.๐ And with that, you're also cool. After all, yes, you are The Fixer. Of the eight digital communication archetypes, you're THAT type who is 100% committed to effortlessness.๐ ๐บ And do you know something - that's exactly what your customers love about you. ๐๐ฅ๐
Yes, I know, this thing about effortlessness and "it can be easy" is not really what you learned as a child.๐ Just because you get more recognition for having overcome and conquered something really difficult and, best of all, a well-known weakness of yours.๐คข But honestly, if you take a closer look at this development or education, it's pretty bullshit.๐ฉ
That's why it's best to take the next 30 minutes and write down everything that's easy for you in relation to your expertise and beyond - and what you are often asked to do.๐ Often these are even things that you do for free because you believe that they are things that everyone already knows and can do.๐ But that's where the mistake is.โ๏ธ With you and this digital communication archetype, you don't need any more strategy or complexity. It's about having your shoulders to the wheel that it's just easy for you.๐ช๐
So ask yourself: What is easy for me? What comes so naturally to me that I wouldn't even ask for money in return? What is so easy for me that it's almost quite ridiculous that I don't even dare to talk about it? - Little spoiler: talk about exactly that. ๐โจ๐
First of all: I love that you've read this far. ๐ฅ๐ชโจ
But maybe you're already wondering when you will get to the part where you find out what this has to do with your business and your long-term digital communication. ๐ดโโ ๏ธ๐ฎ๐
Well, let me put it this way. You're already in the game. ๐๐
Communication is ALWAYS a very personal component. This also applies if you are online as an entrepreneur, founder or even as an employee. It may sound strange at first glance, but this is precisely the point at which in many campaigns and strategies it is determined whether they work or not. ๐ฏ๐คทโโ๏ธ
That's exactly why I'm doing the personal part with you here in the test first - and also because no one else has really had it on their radar yet. (Fun fact: That's exactly what I always mean by "The Dark Side of Digital Communication". ๐๐)
The best place to start is by integrating your archetype and the insights you have gained from this test result into your existing corporate communication strategy.
And yes, you may feel like you don't know where to start or that you have to completely rebuild everything. But especially the second case is very rare. So feel free to use the foundation you already have to build your own kind of healthy and profitable communication strategy. ๐บ๐
However, if you'd like, I can also do this together with you in a 1:1 Integration Check-up, in which you not only realign your online communication strategically and with (the simplest possible) tools and methods (I love "simple".๐). You will also learn how to get the most out of your existing foundation and the aspects of your communication archetype in this game. ๐ฎ๐
With this in mind: Enjoy your ride on the dark side of digital communication! ๐๐ณ๐
