This hack helps you build brand AND sales
Content Sliders, Explained
I recently invented a new idea.
Content Sliders.
I was explaining to my team the importance of knowing when to lean into a certain content style.
All of our client content falls into the PESTO Pillars.
Personal
Expertise
Social-proof
Trending
Opinions
This helps us balance building brand and converting sales.
So how much of each pillar should you create?
Think of it as %.
In NBA 2K (my favorite game was I was 14 years old) you could adjust the sliders to affect how the game would play.

Want all your players to run faster
Turn the slider up to 100%.
Let’s apply this to your Personal Brand.
Start with 20% for each of the 5 pillars.
If you go viral and need to focus on conversions?
Turn up the Social-proof slider to 40-50%.
If you’re low on leads and need to go viral?
Turn up the Expertise or Trending slider.
And so-on, and so forth.
This is my favorite way breaking down ‘What to Write’ when building a Personal Brand.
Interested in going in depth on this?
The PESTO Pillars course is currently in beta.
I’m personally emailing the next 10 buyers and building a custom module that you think would be valuable for you.
