Community Agreements

Just Marketing® strives to foster an inclusive, diverse, supportive, and safe environment for all. As such, we reserve the right to take action including but not limited to hiding, deleting, blocking, and reporting any posts/accounts that violate our community agreements across all branded social media properties.

1. Be Kind, Courteous, & Welcoming

We value justice, equity, and diversity within our businesses and lives. We do not assume the race, class, gender, sexuality, or ability of anyone else. We will use inclusive and non-appropriative language including but not limited to gender-inclusive language (y’all, folks, people, community… we don't use tribe) and we collectively respect pronouns and use the names that people choose to be identified by.

2. Zero Tolerance For Hate Speech Or Bullying

Make sure everyone feels safe. Bullying of any kind isn't allowed, and degrading comments about things like race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, size, gender or identity will not be tolerated. Anti-blackness, homophobia, transphobia, classism, fatphobia, etc. will result in immediate removal.

3. Have Fun Building Community Through Participation & Engagement

Creating a community is dependent on ALL of us. Please introduce yourself, ask questions, share what you’re working on (challenges, wins, fun stories, etc), AND take the time to authentically engage and connect with other members.

4. No One Knows Everything, Together We Know A Lot

We are all at different points in our journeys when it comes to business, marketing, accessibility, and inclusion. We’re not expected to be experts. We’re committing to a lifetime process of learning and growing. As such, we avoid jargon, acronyms, and industry language – opting instead for inclusive language that is accessible for people with varying inside knowledge.

5. Address Debates & Disagreements With Respect

Not everyone comes in with the same set of experiences and knowledge. We assume that people have good intentions by giving the benefit of the doubt and asking questions.

Practice substituting “and” for “but” when speaking. This acknowledges and honors multiple realities, and supports creating spaciousness around our binary ways.

Please, always have positive intent yourself, and take responsibility for the impact of your actions and words on others. Denying our impact by focusing on intent can be more destructive than the initial interaction.

When presented with new information – we commit to listening, reflecting, educating ourselves, and being open to changing our opinions. We acknowledge that we all make mistakes AND can learn from them.

6. Honor The Confidentiality Of Others.

Authentic, expressive discussions make communities great, but may also be sensitive and private. What's shared within private communities should stay in the community. Do not share or make public the stories, identities, or situations of others without their explicit permission.

7. No Promotions Or Spam

Give more than you take. Self-promotion, spam, and irrelevant links aren't allowed. We reserve the right to delete posts that fall under this category. From time to time, we will make space for people to specifically promote their businesses.

Questions and/or Concerns?

Please reach out to meg@MegBrunson.com if you have any concerns about something going on in the community or across branded social media platforms.

Community, connection, and belonging are the found Community, connection, and belonging are the foundation of trust-based business. And yet, somewhere along the way, the online business world started treating them like a product.

You've probably seen it.
(Maybe you've even done it - no judgment, I've been there too.)

The client-only Slack channel.
The "exclusive" Facebook group.
The bonus Voxer access.

All framed as perks and locked behind a purchase.

It's often taught as a "best practice." But when we pause to ask who gets left out when community is conditional... the answer matters.

– The neurodivergent entrepreneur who needs more time and trust before committing financially.
– The solopreneur who's craving connection before they're ready to invest.
– The person facing economic barriers who deeply needs support - but can't buy in right now.

When belonging has to be purchased, we're unintentionally sending the message that some people have to earn their place.

That's a pattern worth questioning... and there are ways to protect your energy and create access without burning out or giving everything away.

I wrote a blog unpacking this, including what paywalling community actually looks like, who it tends to exclude, and some genuinely doable alternatives that don't require you to be everywhere for everyone.

Read it here: MegBrunson.com/paywalling-community

The offer itself is only half the story... You co The offer itself is only half the story...

You could have the most thoughtful, well-priced, genuinely transformative service on the market - and still lose people in the way you sell it. 

Not because they didn't want it, or it wasn't right for them… But because the experience of buying felt exhausting.

When you take the time to build offers with transparent timelines, flexible language, grace periods, and genuine integrity - you're not just being kind. You're designing an experience that actually fits the humans you're trying to reach.

That's Just Marketing®. And it's available to you right now, no overhaul required.

"I don't like social media." I hear it often. Ma "I don't like social media."

I hear it often. 
Maybe you've said it yourself.

What I've noticed is that most people actually hate a specific experience of it. 
And we can change that experience...

Three things that have actually helped my clients shift this:

1. Reframe it as networking.

One of my clients loves meeting people face-to-face... conferences, coffee chats, local events. When I pointed out that social media is basically that same thing (building relationships, starting conversations, staying visible to people who might want to work with you), something clicked. The platform is different. The purpose is the same.

2. Pair it with something you already enjoy.

If you only ever open Instagram when you have to, your brain starts treating it like a chore. But attach it to your morning coffee, queue up a playlist, let yourself engage while you watch TV... suddenly there's a positive association baked in. You're not tricking yourself. You're just designing the experience so it doesn't feel like pulling teeth.

3. Have a clear plan before you click.

A lot of people open social media to "do marketing" and end up 45 minutes deep in someone else's drama with nothing to show for it. Know what you're there to do - respond to comments, post your content, engage with a few accounts - and then do that thing. If you're on a computer, I love recommending the Chrome extension, Newsfeed Eradicator, for this. It removes your newsfeed entirely so you can't get pulled in, but you can still access everything else.

Where does social media feel like the biggest drag for you?

Ahh, July - the month of sunny skies and sizzling Ahh, July - the month of sunny skies and sizzling barbecues...

Whether it’s gathering with loved ones, reflecting on history, or simply soaking up summer vibes, July is packed with opportunities to honor progress and create connection.

Here are some of the standout moments to celebrate this month:

Disability Pride Month (All July) - July marks Disability Pride Month, a time to celebrate the contributions, resilience, and strength of the disability community. It’s also a moment to reflect on accessibility and inclusivity, ensuring everyone has a seat at the table - because true freedom includes everyone.

Independence Day (July 4) - For many in the U.S., July 4th is about fireworks, flag-waving, and grilled everything. But it’s also an opportunity to reflect on what freedom truly means - and who still fights for it. This year, consider celebrating not just with sparklers but with meaningful action toward justice and equity.

Nelson Mandela International Day (July 18) - This global observance honors the legacy of Nelson Mandela, reminding us all to take action and inspire change. Whether it’s through acts of service, education, or reflection, it’s a call to live out his message of equality, dignity, and peace.

Now, let’s talk marketing…

July is about freedom, connection, and celebration - so let your content reflect that! Share stories of resilience and progress, highlight the importance of accessibility, and celebrate the diversity that makes communities thrive.

The Inclusive Holiday Content Bundle is here to help you celebrate this month and every month. It’s packed with holidays and observances to keep your marketing aligned with your values and impactful for your audience.

Slowing down your sales process might be the most Slowing down your sales process might be the most strategic thing you do this year.

It may sound counterintuitive - especially since marketing culture has spent decades telling us that speed equals success - but, when you build offers that give people room to breathe, the people who find you feel safe. 

And safe people are more likely to buy, come back for more, leave reviews, and refer friends. 

The way you structure your offers is a values statement, and your ideal clients are paying attention.

What if your next promotion felt like an invitatio What if your next promotion felt like an invitation instead of high-pressure?

You can absolutely have timelines, deadlines, and structured offers without building them on urgency and panic.

Just Marketing isn't about removing all boundaries - it's about designing those boundaries with actual humans in mind.

Here are five ways to do that:

1. Transparent timelines with context.
Tell people when your offer opens, when it closes, and why there's a time limit.

2. Grace periods.
A quiet "need a little more time? message me" signals that you see people as humans, not conversion opportunities.

3. Urgency through bonuses, not penalties.
Instead of punishing slow deciders with a higher price, reward early action with added value. Nobody gets left behind, they just get a slightly different version of the offer.

4. Gentle, human language.
"This offer is available through Friday - come back when you're ready" hits completely differently than "buy now before it’s gone." Same deadline, but a totally different vibe.

5. Re-offering with integrity.
If you plan to run the offer again, say so. Don’t pretend something is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when it isn't.

Accessible marketing is still strategic… You're building the kind of long-term trust that actually sustains a business.

Have you ever felt manipulated, belittled, or gasl Have you ever felt manipulated, belittled, or gaslit by someone with more power or influence?

Me too…

These aren’t just “bad vibes.”
This is what happens when systems reward authority without accountability.

At Just Marketing®, we do things differently:
~ Leadership without bullying
~ Strategy without shame
~ Boundaries and consent

Because business should never cost you your self-trust.

And you never have to tolerate abuse in the name of “professionalism,” “mentorship,” or “getting results.”

You deserve to feel safe in your work. Period.

Ever dealt with adult bullying in business spaces? 

You're not alone.

Let’s talk about what healing, justice, and safer leadership can look like… 💕

When bullies go unchecked they grow up to wear suits and sit in corner…' In response to a graphic with: ‘Bullies aren’t just teenagers in high school. They are also adults in offices with nice titles who think they have the right to break the spirits of others so they can feel better about their miserable lives.’

Limited-time offers aren't inherently wrong, but t Limited-time offers aren't inherently wrong, but the way they're typically structured can be problematic… Especially for buyers whose brains, bodies, and lives don't fit the mold that most marketing was built around.

Here are three ways the classic countdown offer quietly excludes people:

1. They assume fast processing.

Not everyone can read a sales page, weigh the decisions, regulate the emotions that come up, and pull out a credit card in 24 hours. For many neurodivergent folks, that's just not how their brain works.

2. They ignore diverse schedules.

Different time zones… Unpredictable chronic illness flare-ups… Caregiving responsibilities that don't pause for your flash sale… Real life is not optimized for tight deadlines.

3. They can trigger shame or freeze responses.

When someone wants to buy but can't move fast enough, the offer doesn't just pass them by - it can feel like a personal failure. That's definitely not the experience we want to create for people.

The goal of Just Marketing is to build structure that considers the full range of humans on the other side of the screen.

I’m sharing five values-aligned alternatives to the traditional limited-time offer at MegBrunson.com/limited-time-offer

Which of these three resonates most with your experience - as a buyer, a business owner, or both?

ID: 'Limited-Time Offers Often Miss the Mark' appears in bold purple at the top, with 'Miss the Mark' underlined. Three color-coded banners each pair an icon with a key point: a pink stopwatch: 'They assume fast processing,' a purple calendar: 'They ignore diverse schedules,' and a blue warning triangle: 'They can trigger shame or freeze responses.'

When someone is neurodivergent, navigating executi When someone is neurodivergent, navigating executive dysfunction, or carrying past experiences with high-pressure sales tactics, urgency doesn't feel exciting - it feels threatening. 

Then the nervous system does what it does: shuts down, checks out, closes the tab.

And when your offer runs on urgency alone - you lose those values-aligned buyers. Not because they weren't interested - but because your sales experience wasn't built with them in mind.

There are other ways to structure your offers… Ones that creates momentum without manufacturing panic. 

I go through five of them on the blog: MegBrunson.com/lmited-time-offer 

What's your gut reaction when you see a countdown timer on a sales page - does it motivate you or make you want to close the tab?

Urgency-based promotions aren't just potentially m Urgency-based promotions aren't just potentially manipulative — they're often inaccessible by design.

They assume everyone can absorb information quickly, make fast decisions, and take action inside a narrow window. 

But that's not how a lot of brains work. And when your offer only works for fast deciders, you're quietly (and probably unintentionally) closing the door on some of the people you want to serve.

You don't have to choose between effective marketing and accessible marketing. There are ways to create offers that feel inviting instead of pressured - and they actually build more trust in the long run.

Accessibility can feel like this enormous, never-e Accessibility can feel like this enormous, never-ending audit of everything you've ever created… but let's skip the overwhelm and go straight to the doable.

Here are six relatively easy places to start:

1. Use Larger, Legible Fonts
16px minimum for body text. Skip the ultra-thin weights and decorative scripts for anything important.

2. Prioritize High Color Contrast
Run your next design through the WebAIM Contrast Checker before you post it.

3. Swap Jargon for Plain Language
Read your copy out loud. If you stumble on a phrase or find yourself mentally translating an acronym, rewrite it.

4. Add Alt Text and Image Descriptions
If the image contains information (a price, a date, a process), that information belongs in your caption or post text too.

5. Reduce Overwhelming Visuals
Less sensory chaos means more people actually absorb what you're sharing.

6. Use Descriptive CTAs
"Click here" tells people nothing. "Download the free guide," "Book your discovery call," or "Read the full post" - these tell people exactly what they're getting and where they're going... Clarity converts.

The goal here isn't a perfect, fully accessible website by Friday.

It's one intentional change this week.
Then another next week.

Progress compounds, and every shift you make opens your work up to someone who needed to find you.
