And this works for virtually ANY business! 👇

⚡️ User-Generated Content (UGC)

UGCs not only foster a sense of community but also serves as authentic testimonials. Run UGC contests or challenges where people can showcase their experiences with your brand!

⚡️ Polls and Surveys

Want to get inside your audience's head? Conduct polls and surveys to know what they think of your content!

⚡️ Behind-the-Scenes

Show the people behind your business. Humanize your brand. They want to interact with humans, not your automation tools.

Keep in mind, my dear friends, your unique style and audience will determine which trends work best for you, so don't be afraid to experiment!

I'll be giving more tips here, so be sure to follow! ✨

Oh, the life of a realtor! It's a whirlwind of appointments, property showings, paperwork, and client meetings. Let's face it, your to-do list is already a mile long, and who has time to be glued to a laptop for social media posts, right? If you're thinking about bringing in a social media manager to save the day, you're on the right track!

But the real question is: How do you find the PERFECT social media manager for the job? 🤔

Well, I've got your back! Here are my top tips on how to choose the ideal social media manager for your real estate business:

✅ Ask the social media manager what their process is. It will give you an idea of how much attention and management you can expect from them in the future.

✅ Look at their portfolios. Do a vibe check and make sure their posts and styles match your brand.

✅ Last but not least, discuss the money. Be open about your budget from the get-go. But if in case their services aren't within your real estate budget, don't be afraid to negotiate. They might be willing to adjust based on your evolving needs and budget changes!

Finding the right social media manager is like finding that perfect home—you've got to ask the right questions and make sure it's a good fit!

Happy hunting! 🔎

Let's talk about STORY HIGHLIGHTS! 📲

Personally, story highlights are one of my favorite Instagram features! It's a fantastic way to give your audience quick access to your greatest real estate hits and say, hey, check out the best of the best in my world! 🏆

If you have evergreen content for your business (like property listings or client feedback), story highlights are perfect for showcasing these stories. And the beauty of it is that they're not just a one-time show; they're there to stay on your profile. So, when you've got some fantastic content that you don't want to disappear after 24 hours, that's where your story highlights come into play! 🗂

Just visit my page and see what I'm talking about! ❤️

Every now and then, I get to hop on calls with business owners looking for my help with social media management. They usually tell me they just need someone to handle posting of content, so they're just looking for someone to hire on an hourly basis.

And I totally get it—we all love a good shortcut! ⏱

While I'm happy to offer hourly services, I like to chat with them about the fact that there's more to a successful social media strategy than just hitting the "POST" button.

In its true essence, a well-thought-out social media strategy ensures your presence is CONSISTENTLY visible to your target audience, it allows your them to rely on your content and stay ENGAGED, and it helps builds trust, loyalty and ADVOCACY.

That being said, you can optimize your investments and definitely generate a better ROI when you have a good social media strategy in place. ✨

Do you agree? ❤️

Just the other day, we had a garage sale, a spur-of-the-moment attempt to declutter our closets and bid farewell to clothes that no longer fit us. Truth be told, we didn't have high hopes for it. I mean, it was just a bunch of used clothes, albeit brand-name stuff. Yet to our pleasant surprise, in under an hour, we had managed to rake in about $20. That's a far cry from the big fat zero I was mentally preparing myself for! ✨

This whole experience got me thinking... In a world teeming with brand-new, pristine clothing available for practically the same prices, it's fascinating to see people still opting to buy pre-loved stuff. What is it that makes people drawn to garage sales and thrift stores, even "ukay-ukay"?

I suppose it all boils down to the way people perceive the value of what they're buying. They spot an item in good condition that once sold for ten times its current price, and suddenly, it's a deal they can't resist. I guess it's all about the perceived value of the item.

So, here's a golden piece of advice for all you entrepreneurs and business proprietors out there: Elevate the perceived value of your products. Make your customers feel like they're getting more than their money's worth. And in the grand scheme of things, it's that sort of customer loyalty that can transform a humble garage sale into something far more significant.

Today marks the first year since I left my corporate job of 8 years to transition into freelancing full time.

When I started this journey, I was 32 years old, with a 10-month old baby in tow.

I guess this is for anyone thinking about doing a major career move and wondering if you can do it with a baby.

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: Not without adequate planning and support around you.

Here is a short list of who have been alongside me, and who I speak with regularly to help me at work and at home.

❤️ my amazing husband/teammate
🫰 supportive parents
💻 good working relationship with my ideal clients (emphasis on "ideal")
🥂 trusted friends in the same stage in life

I understand that not all of these things are available for every working mother, nor does everyone have the right support in place. So here's a big shoutout to all mothers out there, who manage to juggle professional commitments while raising their children. You inspire me, and your efforts deserve to be celebrated.

In case you're wondering what exactly I do, I help eCommerce businesses leverage social media to attract more customers into buying their products.

And if you or anyone you know can use my help, shoot me a message and we'll schedule a call.

P.S. If you've reached this far, I'm so thrilled to announce that my website is now LIVE! ✨

You know how sometimes brands just push their products down our throats like it's the latest fad diet? ❌

Now, imagine a sales approach where the focus is not on the product, but on the customer's needs. ✨

It's like a long-term relationship, where you're not just in it for a quick sale, but for the happily ever after your product provides. ❤

This is why it's important to KNOW your target market in and out, their goals, fears, and languages they speak.

Just the other day I had a conversation with a practitioner/business owner who said he didn't want to outsource social media services for his business because he 1) found my rate expensive (compared to what, he didn't answer), and 2) he claimed he can just do it himself.

So I guess here's what I can say to every business owner...

We all have 24 hours a day, right? As an expert in your field, how are you going to spend them?

As the primary decision-maker in your organization, you undoubtedly possess the skills and knowledge necessary to drive your business towards success.

However, in order to take your business to the next level, it's essential to focus on the things that will scale your business, such as developing new products or services, streamlining your processes, and improving overall efficiency.

It involves taking a step back from the day-to-day tasks and responsibilities of running your business.

Because let's face it, you need to free up your time and energy to focus on the big picture.

Remember, as the expert in your field, your TIME is a valuable asset that should be leveraged to drive growth and success of your business.

So, take the time to work on your business, and delegate tasks whenever possible.

Treat it not as an EXPENSE, but an INVESTMENT. ✨

Do you agree?

NEWSFLASH: Not every social media platform will work for your business.

Just because other businesses are active on Platforms XYZ doesn't mean you should be there too!

Truth is, you could end up wasting your time and money if you fail to choose the right platform for your business.

RULE OF THUMB:

✅ Understand the nature of YOUR BUSINESS
✅ Define YOUR GOALS
✅ Think about who YOUR AUDIENCE are

So, are you in the right platform?

In a highly saturated environment such as Instagram, optimizing your username is an aspect many of us completely ignore.

Although most people think special characters like "." or "_" can help separate the words in their usernames and make it look "cleaner", what actually happens is that they it harder for people to remember and search for.

PRO-TIP: Use words that most people are likely to enter in the search bar when looking for your products/services, that includes avoiding special characters! ✨

MY 2023 VISION BOARD ✨

I don't usually post things like these because I'm a very private person. However, I read somewhere that sharing them publicly helps keep yourself accountable. And then I thought, hey, why not?!

So here are the 3 main things I want to focus on for 2023 (in no particular order):

BALANCE

As you might already know, I am a working mom, so finding a work-life balance is something I've been working on since. I think I'm already pretty good at time management (totally not bragging here!) but since I plan to take on more clients this year, I have to be better at balancing everything.

CONNECTION

You probably heard me say I'm an introvert, but introverts do not mean anti-social! I do enjoy meeting people, so I'm going to focus more on building (and maintaining!) connections, personally and professionally.

GROWTH

And by growth I mean reskilling and upskilling. I vow to finish all courses I've enrolled to during the previous year!

So there, hold me accountable for these ! And by the way, if you are still thinking about your own vision, that's okay! Take the time to feel what you think is right for you! ❤️

Have you heard the news?

If you've been following Adam Mosseri on his socials, you probably have. But just in case you haven't yet, here's what he said about Instagram's plan to help its users grow on the platform! 👀

While he didn't give any more details, the goal is still the same — to keep people hooked on Instagram!

23/05/2022

If you’re still on the fence about getting a social media manager to handle your social media efforts, ask yourself if:

1. Do you have the TIME?

Managing multiple social media platforms takes time and effort. If you have a business to attend to, would you rather spend your time making content for Instagram?

2. Do you have the KNOWLEDGE?

The social media landscape is always changing. With the algorithms constantly being updated, will your online strategy keep up?

3. Do you have the PATIENCE?

In any social media platform, ENGAGEMENT is key (there’s a reason they’re called ‘social’ media. If you don’t have the time to engage with your audience, how do you expect them to know your business?

Hopefully, you can now see that you’d be far better off hiring a social media manager than not.

I’d love to know your thoughts! Share them in the comments!

Been getting a couple more eyeballs on my account lately so I thought I'd share a few fun facts to reintroduce myself!

1. I have a degree in Biology and I've been using my knowledge and 10+ years of corporate experience in helping my clients in the beauty, health and wellness business. ✨

2. My workspace has to be spotless. I refuse to work in a messy workspace and I will start tidying instead of working! 🧹

3. I love traveling and I've been to a lot of places pre-pandemic. My favorite city is Tokyo and my ultimate travel destination is Amsterdam! 👀

Now it's your turn! Tell me about yourself! 👇

If you’ve noticed a massive price differences from one social media manager to another, it may have to do with what they can offer.

While social media MANAGERS focus on the use of social media accounts and day-to-day management tasks (i.e. creating and distributing content, responding to queries, maintaining an active community around your social media platforms, etc.), social media STRATEGISTS focus more on creating and executing a marketing strategy to grow and expand your business, whether through organic or paid efforts.

There's nothing wrong with either way, and both of them are essential for boosting your online presence. However, as a business owner, it's imperative for you to know what you'll be getting when you finally decide to outsource social media services. Social media management and social media marketing are intrinsically connected, and you should be using both to reach different goals.

So next time you compare rates, it’s best to understand how they differ and what they can do for you.
