Last month I got to speak about the importance of having a social media strategy and showing up consistently on social media as a business or brand at the Palette Pro Talk! ✨✨🎙️

I love talking about social media marketing for businesses and brands. Some of the key takeaways included:

✨ If you're too busy running your business to keep up with or focus on social media, invest in some help!
✨ If you've been DIYing social media for your business and unsure if it's contributing to business growth, find a strategist who can guide you with a clear plan.

I studied journalism for 4 years in college and then went on to a get a master's degree in marketing. After college I have only ever had marketing jobs. Now, years later I've realized that I actually get to use so many of those journalism skills in my business and on a daily basis.

Some of the top skills of a good journalist include:
✅being an excellent listener
✅the ability to capture the most important details and facts, quickly
✅having a creative outlook
✅the ability to understand your audience and know what they want
✅the ability to tell an engaging story on any topic
✅telling the story accurately and succinctly.

The last one can easily carry over to caption writing in social media content. You only get a few lines of real estate on a social media post, you've got to make them count!

Are there skills that you have that you didn't think you'd ever use until you started your own business?

You'll notice that I use "best fit for your business" in my content a lot. This is intentional. It's because I know that all social media marketers are NOT created equal. There's no biggest is best mentality in this industry.

The social media marketer that charges the most is not automatically the best fit for your business. The best fit SMM for your business understands how to create authentic and relatable content for your ideal audience and who runs their business similar to the way that you run yours.

This is why I think it's so important to pay close attention when hiring a social media marketer instead of comparing prices and a list of deliverables. As any good service professional would do, I try to leverage industry partners and their expertise when I know that I'm not the right fit for a business.

It's really important to consider your business' needs and not only look for the freelancer or agency who is offering the most tangibles in their service offering. Choose the SMM that you admire their work, you align with their business practices and that you believe would be fun to work with! The more fun you have with social media, the better the results will be!

I've been out mingling and meeting new business owners and entrepreneurs lately! Through these conversations, I've gathered a ton of insight into what business owners are struggling with the most when it comes to social media marketing.

Here were some of the biggest themes:
✔️Lack of time to keep up with it.
✔️Lack of time and energy to keep up with current social trends, platform changes & coming up with strategic content ideas.
✔️A fear of delegating to someone else.

✨As a full-time social media marketer, I feel your pain if you relate to any of these common struggles. Truth is, once you have an established business with consistent income and revenue, it really doesn't make sense financially for you to continue doing social media marketing yourself. Yet, in today's digital world, it's a necessity for your service business to have an intentional and strategic presence on social media.

So, what is a business owner to do?! Scrap social media marketing entirely or find the right partner who understands your business, target audience and how to leverage social media to build a community of fans and buyers? I'll let you decide! 😉

Reach out if you think you may be nearing this next step in your business journey but want to talk it over to ensure a good fit.

Social media marketing for small businesses needs to be strategic and savvy! Although consistency is important, you should also be seeking one-off opportunities to get some more eyes on your content.

In this case, we used a large industry event that the business owner attended to generate excitement, collaborate with other brands and share live content updates to create buzz....and it worked. 👌🏽🤩🤗

The results?
-Non-follower reach increased significantly
-Increase in profile views
-Established new biz relationships

Social media strategies should include business goals, marketing strategy and platform strategy. Let me explain!

If your social media marketer isn't aware of your overall business goals, you won't have a social media presence that reflects those goals. So, it's vital to keep your social media marketer in the loop about all aspects of your business and anything that would help them craft content that aligns with the current state of your business.

Marketing is the piece of this strategy that is perhaps the toughest thing to nail down because it requires a deep understanding of who you want to reach and connect with (your ideal clients/customers).

The marketing strategy is based on research about your ideal client and customer as well as your competitors. Your social media marketer may also suggest creative ways of talking about your mission and vision using storytelling. Content strategy is closely related to marketing but it is the breakdown of the precise messaging that will be used to talk about your business and how to best communicate your services to your audience.

Last but not least - strategy for each social platform. This piece of the overall social media strategy is simply, the specifics of how you will use the features in the platforms. Think - number of Instagram stories, lives, reels and carousel posts weekly and throughout the month.

Having a social media strategy in place will save you time and energy and yield better overall results. 📈

I love being in a room full of women making history! 🥳🥂🙌🏻

Women's history month is almost over but I couldn't let it pass by without talking about why it's special to celebrate! I love helping female business owners and entrepreneurs grow their business with social media.

Working with like-minded ambitious and collaborative women truly inspires me. When we work together and are brave enough to take risks, we change not only our lives but the lives of the people around us by showing them what is possible.

I can't wait to see what new and exciting collaborations are up ahead this year!

Obviously I spend a lot of time on social media and on my phone for work, but over the last few years I've come up with a few tricks that help me stay focused during my work day when I can't waste time getting lost in the newsfeed and watching reels for hours.

Anyone else have a good focus tip to keep from getting distracted on social media? 🤔

There's a balance between spending way too much time on content and not spending enough time on it. ⚖️👌🏽

If you are creating content for your business on social media, then you know how much time it can take. Learning how to use features, how to design in canva, how to edit videos in various apps, how to plan out your ideas for a month takes up a lot of time and creative energy. I hear ya loud and clear! 🙌🏽🙃

I want to help you focus on the 'right' tasks within social media marketing so that you stop wasting time on things that aren't going to yield results. Scroll through to see my suggestions for better results! 📈

Maybe you're on a roll with posting consistently for weeks or months and you're wondering if what you're doing (or what your social media marketer is doing) is working. It's a lot of work to create that much content, I get it!

The more specific your goal is, the easier it is to track and measure your results. However, if this is your first time really committing to social media marketing and posting with a plan and consistency, here are some first clues that what you're doing is working!

Many social media marketers provide monthly analytics reports or insights reports with monthly service packages that evaluate the performance of the content and give you (and them) feedback on what to tweak and change to get optimal results.
