How Your Favorite Cartoon Teaches You About Trust

How a Childhood Cartoon Taught Me the Secret to Success

Let me take you back for a second today.

Remember that cartoon you couldn’t stop watching as a kid? The one that became your absolute favorite? You probably didn’t fall in love with it the first time you saw it. But after watching it over and over, it just clicked.

It became familiar. Comforting. Part of your routine.

That’s the power of the Mere Exposure Effect.

The more we see something, the more we feel connected to it. As kids, it was cartoons, toys, or songs. As adults, the same principle applies, only now, it’s your presence and message in the market.

From Familiar to Trusted

Here’s the deal: Buyers and sellers in your market are no different.

The more they see your face, hear your story, and experience your brand, the more they’ll trust you. It’s not about luck or posting something that goes viral. It’s about consistency. Showing up over and over again, so when the time comes for them to sell or buy, you’re the first person they think of.

But there’s another layer to this.

Just like your favorite childhood cartoon made you feel something, whether it made you laugh, excited, or just happy to watch, you message has to connect emotionally. That’s what turns simple exposure into genuine trust in your community.

Your Message Has to Resonate

It’s not enough to just show up. Your message has to mean something to your audience. It has to address their needs, their pain points, and their goals.

That’s the difference between being “just another agent” and becoming their agent. The one they trust, relate to, and remember.

Here’s How I Do It

When I work with agents, we focus on more than just being visible. We fine-tune their message to make sure every ad, video, and post hits the mark.

• We start with empathy: What does your audience need to hear from you?

• We fine-tune your message: What will make them feel understood and supported?

• We create consistency: So they see you often enough to feel comfortable choosing you.

With video , we craft messages that stick, content that’s memorable, positive, and builds trust. And one message hits well, we amplifying it through advertising.

Be the Favorite Show in Your Market

Just like that cartoon became a part of your childhood, your videos can make you a trusted part of your community’s story. When they see you consistently and feel a connection to your message, they’ll think of you when it matters most.

It’s not about being everywhere, it’s about being unforgettable and the one they believe in.
