It’s so easy to get caught up in vanity metrics😟

Social media metrics are important because they prove you can measure how successful a campaign is, how well your social strategy is performing, and if you will have an impact on your overall business.

Here are the metrics I pay attention to🔻
~engagement ratio, impressions and reach, share of voice, referrals and conversions and response rate and time🌺

Having trouble with your CONTENT STRATEGY 🎃 🫣

Do you have one?

Having a strategy around your content helps answer your target audience's pain points by serving up relevant content.

The roadmap (content strategy) is one of the most important components of your marketing strategy because it tells the who, what, where, when, and how you plan to connect with your audience.

Post engagement metrics:

✔️Likes
✔️Comments
✔️Saves
✔️Shares
Other engagement metrics include:
✔️DMs
✔️Link clicks/swipe-ups
✔️Mentions
✔️Hashtag usage
✔️Stories sticker interactions

My biggest 🚩 story 🔻🔻🔻🔻
Last year I was in a meeting with a small business owner. He told me he wanted maximum social media exposure; content, content, content he said, with 4 posts a day.

I sat with a polite smile and asked if he had a strategy behind the volume of content he wanted to create. He scoffed, "it's social media, there is no strategy"🤦‍♀️.

🚩RED FLAG, Thank you, good luck and goodbye✌🏽.

Other red flags
🚩 No boundaries (👉🏼 the client that would always want to chat at 4 pm).
🚩Poor communication skills
🚩Being disorganized

Let me tell you a story ☕️

Over the last ten weeks, I have been at home enjoying the summer with my two wonderful kids.

Although I wasn't taking on new clients, so I wasn't insanely busy, I still had four existing clients to serve.

HOW DID I DO IT? ☕️ Lots of this ☕️

I worked 2 hours every day, time blocking as needed.

✔️ Prioritizing what was most important
✔️ Daily to-go list
✔️ Batched similar tasks together
✔️ Used my time wisely

HAPPY WEDNESDAY 💫 Here are a few post ideas ↴ Your social media doesn't have to be complicated, remember, consistency is key 💕

💫Recent Project | If you have a visual product you’re handing off to clients and customers, you would be crazy not to share it with your followers on Instagram. Share bits and pieces of your work in an Instagram post and point people to a blog post with a more in-depth look at your process and
finished product.

💫Goal | is there something you're trying to reach in your business? Humanize yourself and allow your audience to relate.

💫Hack | Do you use something differently than the way it was intended? sharing a hack is a helpful way to build trust and authority with your
audience.

To my business owner friends, first things first, your profile NEEDS to be a business account.

Why⁇⁇

📊You get insights and statistics about your followers. You also get data on impressions, reach, website clicks and can see viewer trends
without leaving the app. And you get additional information about your posts and your stories and how they perform for free.

🎯You have a contact button on your profile so people can get in touch easily. And when you’re a local business, you might also have the
option to add your address or phone number.

✏️You can schedule your posts with a tool like for
example later.com and it posts automatically on Instagram for you (when you have a personal account, you can still schedule your posts,
but you will have to manually post them on your phone).

📉Ad creation is seamless with the promote feature and you can set up promotions directly in the app, similar to a boost on Facebook. If you
have a personal account you can still set up ads, but you need a Facebook business page.

HAPPY WEDNESDAY 💫

Check out two of my favourite kinds of content They provide your audience with social proof (that's the idea that people copy the actions of others).

Tuesday Tip - swipe ➡️ for the best advice I can give you as a social media manager. 💕 double tap if you started doing this!

Schedule your week before it starts.

If you struggle with regularly updating your social media, setting time aside to schedule your posts can:

✨Saves you time

✨Can help you look more consistent to your followers

✨Keeps you organized & can reduce spelling errors & typos!!

If you aren’t planning your content in advance and need a hand, send me a DM. We can chat about planning a content calendar & let’s get you organized✨

08/17/2022

This is a hard one to hear because gaining a lot of followers feels great, but it doesn’t mean that you are selling or booking out.

Instead of focussing on the feel-good vanity metric of likes and followers, build your social media strategy to get your content in front of the right audience. Your ideal audience IS your customer.

Instead of:
❌Focusing on the follower count
❌ Aimlessly posting
Let's to this:
💫Identify your ideal client
💫Demonstrate how you can help them
