Don't Make It Weird

The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Being Human on the Internet

By: Colleen Nichols

Narrated by: Colleen Nichols

Being an entrepreneur is hard, but being an entrepreneur on social media is even harder.

Have you ever actually engaged with someone’s lame dance video on Instagram? Probably not, if you’re being honest. Gimmicks just don’t work, but the pressure of having an online presence can make people do weird things.

Eventually, you have to call bullsh*t. The good news is that when you cut out excuses and ditch the self-sabotaging performances, you can learn to be a real human on the internet.

In Don’t Make it Weird, Colleen teaches you how to bring your whole personality—the messy, awkward, and mundane—to your online presence to create true connection and community. And, of course, to sell to people without making it weird.

Whatever it is you want to do, you can. Just Don’t Make it Weird.

My afternoon with Colleen …

Let me be clear, I don’t ACTUALLY know Colleen Nichols but I’ve followed her for years. We’ve had scattered conversations about the loss of a parent, mental health, the craziness of toddlers who don’t sleep and how quickly your children can humble you. I’ve been around long enough to know that the poop knife WILL come up on a QBS, but not long enough to know what a poop knife actually is (and no, I will not be googling it Colleen.)

I listened to this entire book today and now I’m convinced that not only is Colleen someone who is incredibly great at creating relationships and getting me to spill my deepest darkest secrets every Sunday while I sit on the couch and watch Football (Go Bills, sorry Corey… but the Giants ?!) but she’s an incredible teacher and story teller. I cannot wait to apply everything I took away from this book and I can’t wait to listen to it again, and again and again.

Love the vibe

It's like she's talking to me. When I hear her say how to just be me it's like Duh. 😄

Finally spoke speaks to me

Absolutely fricken love this book! What exactly what I was looking for! Someone to get me outside my comfort zone without feeling weird about it!

One of the unicorns in our space 🦄

Colleen has such a BFF way of teaching, training, and story-telling that makes you simultaneously wanna get your crap together and also makes you feel like you DO have what it takes to succeed. And you deserve to.

She doesn’t push, she takes your hand and says let’s GO. I love the tactical tips in this book, combined with the dose of motivation while she teaches.

It’s an honor to consider her a friend, and I am suggesting this book to my entire team as part of my onboarding system! 🦄

Gold mine for social media entrepreneurs.

This book took me longer than I expected, simply because of the amount of time I spent going back and re listening. The tips and prompts are so good! Highly recommend for anyone trying to monetize social media.

This is the book for you!

if you want to have a normal, everyday, presence on social medial without being or feeling like you are being pushy or bothersome to people, YOU. NEED. THIS. BOOK. Colleen has a way of saying the hard things that need to be heard by all sales people without coming off as a know it all! This book was worth every penny and I will definitely be reading it over!

REAL-LIFE on social media

The author REAL and shares real-life examples and analogies that can apply to many different scenarios for real humans interacting on social media.

You NEED this book!!!

So damn good. I could have devoured this book in one sitting. I purposely forced myself to pause a few times and truly soak it all in. Finished it this morning and have already launched a book club with my teammates. This book is FULL of golden nuggets. 10 outta 10

The best friend I needed.

I loooooved listening to this. And to be perfectly honest, I listen to a few books simultaneously, but I just stayed on this ONE alone and finished it. Now, please give me the gummy link 😂

Phenomenal Writer

Seriously, if she writes anything other than social media self help put me down on the waitlist bc the way this woman writes is mind blowing.
While being read to it felt like she was sitting right in front of me. I highly recommend the audible version.
This book made points that make you think outside the box, yet did so in a way that was easily understood and actually do-able.
Definitely, going to be re-listening to it often.
