Show and Tell, Don’t Sell: How to Go Live and Grow Your Circle Without Feeling Salesy
Many people have reached out to me asking the same questions:
“What should I say when I go live?” “How do I talk about the platform if I haven’t made money yet?” “How do I get people to take me seriously if I’m just starting out?”
These are fair questions. The truth is, most people aren’t sure how to begin because they’re trying to do something they were never meant to do: sell the platform.
Here’s the reality—you don’t have to sell Resell Circle to succeed here. In fact, trying to “sell” is what’s stopping many people from making progress.
Instead, the best thing you can do is show people what you’re doing and tell them why you’re doing it. That’s it. No pitching. No pressure. Just honesty, visibility, and consistency.
That’s what this post is about. If you’ve been waiting to go live—or you’ve gone live before but didn’t get much engagement—this is going to help.
The #1 Mistake Most People Make
Too many members are trying to sell the platform like it’s a product on a shelf.
They jump into their live or story saying things like:
“You need to join this platform right now!”
“This is the best place to make money!”
“You’re missing out if you’re not in this group!”
And while your excitement is valid, most people don’t respond to that. It sounds like a pitch. And when people feel like they’re being sold to, they scroll right past you.
But what if, instead, you just showed them what you're doing?
What if you invited them into your world without trying to convince them?
That’s where the phrase comes in: Show and tell. Don’t sell.
Why “Show and Tell” Works
Because people are naturally curious.
When they see someone sharing a real story, showing something that looks interesting, or mentioning how something is working in their life—they lean in. They start asking questions.
And when people ask questions, that’s when you’ve got real engagement. That’s when they start asking for your link. That’s when they start trusting what you’re about.
So how do you do this?
Let’s break it down into four simple steps.
4 Steps to Going Live Without Selling
STEP 1: Let People Know What You’re Doing
The very first thing to do—whether you're posting, going live, or talking in a story—is this:
Announce that you’re in the digital marketing space.
Don’t overcomplicate it. Say something like:
“I just started promoting digital products online and I’m building my brand.” “I’ve been working on a new income stream that’s all about selling digital downloads.” “I’m learning how to resell eBooks, courses, and tools—and it’s actually fun to build.”
Even if you haven’t made your first sale yet, this introduction builds credibility and context. It tells people you’re serious about growing something, and they’ll respect that.
You don’t need results yet to position yourself. You just need to be visible.
STEP 2: Show What You're Using or Learning
Now it’s time to pull people in.
Pick something—any product, feature, or tool on Resell Circle—and show it.
You can do this by:
Share your link-tree page and explaining how easy it was to set up
Flipping through a digital product you downloaded and pointing out a cool page or quote
Talking about a bonus offer you’re building or what’s inside the free library
Showing your store, even if it only has one product in it right now
Here’s the key: You don’t need to “explain” everything. Just show it.
Let them see the tools. Let them watch you do something. That’s how interest builds.
STEP 3: Tell Why You’re Doing It
People connect to purpose more than products. So now, tell them:
Why you joined Resell Circle
Why digital products make sense to you
What you’re hoping to build
How it fits your goals, lifestyle, or family
It doesn’t have to be deep or emotional—just honest.
Here are some examples:
“I wanted something I could do from home that didn’t require a huge investment.” “I’m tired of starting over every month—I wanted a way to earn consistently.” “I’ve always shared things I liked. Now I’m learning how to turn that into income.”
The story makes it real. The “why” makes it relatable. This is what turns viewers into potential partners.
STEP 4: Mention, Don’t Pitch
Here’s where a lot of people get stuck. They feel like, “If I don’t sell, how will they know to join?”
Simple: Mention where you’re doing all this. That’s it.
Don’t beg. Don’t pressure. Just say:
“Everything I’m showing you right now is from a platform called Resell Circle.” “I got this from Resell Circle—they’ve got tons of stuff like this.” “If you want to check it out, let me know. I’ll send you the link.”
That’s all you need. Now you’ve created curiosity. You’ve given them a reason to ask. And you didn’t sound like a salesperson.
That’s how you win with content—especially on lives, TikToks, reels, or stories. What If You Don’t Have Results Yet?
That’s okay. Most people starting out don’t.
The good news is—you have access to a community full of results.
That means you can share:
Screenshots of others earning on the platform
Testimonials you’ve seen in the forum
Progress made by your referrals or uplines
Features you’ve used, even if you haven’t monetized them yet
You can literally go live and say:
“I just joined Resell Circle last week. Haven’t made anything yet, but I saw someone yesterday post that they made their first $50. That’s inspiring—and it shows what’s possible.”
That’s authentic. That’s credible. And it makes people lean in instead of tune out. The Bottom Line: Keep It Simple
To wrap this up, here’s the big takeaway:
You don’t need a script. You don’t need pressure. You don’t need proof.
You just need to:
Show what you’re doing
Tell why you’re doing it
Mention where you’re doing it
Stay consistent
If you do that every week—even just once or twice—people will start to watch. Then they’ll start to ask. And soon, they’ll start to buy.
So the next time you go live or get ready to post, remember the golden rule:
Show and tell. Don’t sell.
Let people in. Let them watch your journey. Let them decide to come along.
We’re building something special here—and people are paying attention. Now it’s your turn to show what’s possible.
Thank you for those gems! It really does make sense! Just be our real authentic self. Show & tell from a truthful place. I've found out in my seasoned life that Most wholesome individuals really does honor a genuine heart!
