🌞 Starting the week with a full heart and a reminder of why I do what I do! 🌞🍂🍁

Yesterday, one of my followers sent me a message of their exciting news of opening a storefront and that I had been a huge inspiration to them over the past few years. 💖

To be honest, I had been questioning myself lately. Does any of this even matter? We all have had challenges and I’ve had to step back here and there, dealing with personal things and even removing my own scheduled posts. But this message was a reminder that there are people out there who need me to keep showing up.

So here’s me, walking with my Deiter Dog and my mom who snapped this pic the other day, feeling pure joy and gratitude. That’s exactly how that message made me feel. Thank you to everyone who supports and follows along. You all keep me going in ways you may never know. 💛🐾

Let’s keep inspiring each other to go after our dreams! 🌟

Truth 💣 Tuesday 😲

😒 Interrupted while speaking.🗣

😒 Pointless disagreements. Even if you're right, it's almost impossible to change someone's mind especially if they weren't listening. 👂

😒 Repeating myself. 🔁 Why weren't you listening the first time?

😒 Abusing boundaries and stolen ⏰️

I'm not going to sugar coat how frustrated I get from these energy 🧛🏽‍♀️.

I hear that's a Capricorn thing.
Either way, I'm self aware that I'm not an incredibly patient person, it still just drives me nuts.

*for those that don't know this is an example of a provocative post, written about a year ago so you know that nothing specific happened recently to provoke this thought. Another tell, hair is also purple. 😅💜
How does any of that make you feel? I'd like to know.

ENGAGEMENT DOWN? REAL TALK ALERT. 📢
Let me help to save your sanity a bit friend, some of these may sting a bit:

💫 Not eveyone that follows your business see all of your posts. What!? 🤯 I know tough to hear, nobody cares about you that much. 😭

💫 ALL CAPS don't make your points stronger, neither do emojis, those are fun.
BEWARE of bolds and italics as fb may not view that as text but unicode. It can also be a 🚩for potential spamming.

💫 CONSISTENCY doesn't mean posting everyday to simply share a post, consistent in what value or entertainment you bring to the table.
Where's that strategy at?

💫 The ORDER you post on your timeline doesn't matter! It isn't the order being shown on your followers or prospects feeds. Stop stressing about how your timeline looks.

💫 QUIT RESHARING the same posts over to the top of your feed, so Facebook knows what you've posted already. If it's not doing well resharing it isn't helping.

💫 Everyone doesn't LIKE, COMMENT, or SHARE on social media, most are scrolling SPECTATORS 👀🤳.

HELP ENGAGEMENT BY:

💫 Remaining as CONSISTENT as possible with your message and value you bring to the platform, look at your analytics for impressions and growth over time in increments of weeks, months, quarters you'll be amazed!

💫 TEST NEW IDEAS 💡, repurpose and REPEAT what works for you. What doesn't work rework, repurpose, repeat or scrap.

💫 Focus on ENGAGEMENT. Views, increased followers, comments, likes and shares, time spent viewing and total impressions over incremental time blocks. Months and quarters.
If your engagements are up overall, the right message is connecting with the right prospects.

TRUE STATEMENT Several business owners have shared they FOLLOWED me for YEARS before hiring me.
Not one like or comment from those folks until they called me. I've got to be more careful about what I say since I never knew they were watching in the first place.
You never know who is. 👀

I hope this serves you well today.
Now get that content out and make it a great week!

CATCHING THE RIGHT AUDIENCE 10 TIPS TO BOOST YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA

1. Layout your goals and objectives for who you want to reach and what your pages are to do.
Research your audience so you can connect with them. Do surveys online, ask questions.

2. Post engaging content consistently. Consistency is key in everything.

3. Make sure you're on the correct platforms for your audience and your content is for that platform.

4. Run a contest or promotion to boost engagement, do a giveaway people love free stuff!

5. Respond to all messages and most comments. (Not all comments need response)

6. Keep sales talk to a minimum, most of the time no one cares about what it is you're selling. Constantly pushing your brand and your products without anything else to connect turns people off.

7. Captivating Visuals- Utilize Video! Reels for real. Interesting photos to capture your targets attention.

8. Relevant hashtags and tagging on appropriate platforms.

9. Use the right tools and if necessary get some assistance.

10. Connect with your audience. Tell stories.

💥BONUS- Engage with other businesses! Share, follow, comment and like posts.

🌟 SUCCESS OVERALL 🌟👩‍🌾

They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover—well, don’t let my cozy farmgirl coveralls fool you! Behind the scenes, I’m all about making things happen. 💪✨

Over the past few years, I've had the privilege to work with some incredible businesses, helping them reach new heights. From Fortune companies to small local businesses, here are just a few of my favorite results:

✅ Led a marketing campaign for a locally owned bank that resulted in a successful $15 million promotion and branch expansions.

✅ Helped a restoration company double its capacity and revenue to around $6 million annually.

✅ Guided a seasoned construction company to 4x its business and double its staff—even in this challenging economy!

✅ Boosted a home service business's growth by 20% in new clients in less than a year.

✅ Created marketing designs for industry giants like Citizen and Denso. You may have heard of them? 😅

When you hire me, you're not just getting someone who knows marketing; you’re getting a seasoned professional who knows how to drive growth, make an impact, and get results—whether I’m suited up or rocking my coveralls. Business is business. 😉

🌴✈️ Prepping for Vaca While Owning a Business.
Here’s How I Do It! 🖥️✨

These past few weeks have been a lot of work, travel, and prepping for some well-deserved downtime (well, kind of!). Between launching new projects, onboarding, and juggling new websites it’s been nonstop. As business owners, we know that sometimes the work travels with us and that's okay. I LOVE what I do and really enjoy working when I'm off, it feels like a cheat code to play catch-up.

Here's how I prepare for a productive "vacation":

1. Wrap Up in Spurts: In advance tackle what you can in focused bursts of productivity, and give yourself permission to take mini-breaks in between. Balance is key! 🙌

2. Early Bird Wins: My secret weapon? 🤫 Waking up before the world does (4 AM crew, where you at?!) and coffee. Mornings are perfect for knocking out content, responding to emails, and getting ahead before the day starts. ☀️☕️

3. Prep Clients: Before heading out, make sure to connect with all your clients so they know your availability. They know they can reach me in case of emergency, transparency goes a long way in keeping everyone in the loop! 🤝

4. Backup Support: Assign any backup work or tasks in advance so your team or clients have everything they need while you're away. It’s all about setting them up for success! 🎯

5. Set Realistic Boundaries: Don’t forget to carve out those moments for yourself, too. Whether it’s a coffee hour or a morning walk, give yourself a bit of downtime to recharge. 🍹🌅

And yes, I'll have my laptop with me! So whether it's raining, early morning, or while enjoying a cocktail, I'll still be there for my clients. It's all about blending productivity with play!

After a productive week up north visiting clients we're headed back to Sweet Home Alabama.
My husband Dave is a process guy, like the BEST in the country. We were able to partner together to help our client on this trip and it was one of my favorites yet! 😍 I always knew we were a great team in life but to work side by side and see him in action was something else.
No pics of me working, Dave usually get one but he was pretty busy this week. 😅

💻🔧 Bring on all the Website Projects! 🔧💻

It's been a whirlwind of non-stop projects over here, with a flood of new website designs coming in! From WordPress to Wix, Elementor to Squarespace, and every platform in between – we’ve been diving into it all. 🌐
✨ A reflection of my desk, if you look close you can read all the domains and see the devices not including my phone which I'm using to capture. Sites have to account for all sizes.

Building a site isn't just about the design. It’s about creating something that WORKS. Think content development, a seamless customer experience, powerful calls to action, and top-tier SEO.
Plus don't forget – relentless follow-through until your vision is reality.

Sure, the saying "the cobbler’s kids might not have new shoes" applies to me...my own site can wait! 😅 But YOUR website? Priority #1, no matter the platform. My clients can attest. Ready to level up your online presence? Let's make it happen. 🚀

🔑 Start Your Week with Knowledge 🔑
I usually try and start the week off with training of some sort the rest is all about ex*****on. Earlier I learned that what I was taught on a platform not that long ago, is again not that relevant today. Things change. That’s why staying sharp matters in social media and marketing – it's an ever-evolving game.
💡 Why hire me? I’m constantly re-educating and retraining to stay ahead of the curve. If you're not evolving, you're getting left behind.

🌟 Despite battling a nasty bug 🤧 all week it's actually been very productive, milestones included! 🎉
Projects delivered, training completed, clients aquired.

Came downstairs to check in with my associate but Deiter’s been enjoying some well-deserved doggo naps instead, he's cute that's all the help I get. 🐶
I may be here with him for a bit.

Feeling grateful and ready to tackle the end of the week— here’s to a productive Friday! 💪✨

I don't really care what my competitors are pushing or what they charge.
Like anything, you typically get what you pay for.
Meaning don't expect the same level of service and results from every service provider or social media manager you hire, like the difference in automobiles.
You wouldn't expect to win a race with an old Pinto when you have a new Hellcat 🐈‍⬛️.
Sure both have engines and wheels to get you to where you need. One's a heck of a lot faster, has more value and is not nearly as cheap as the other to run but at the end of the day you won't kill yourself getting to the finish line. 🏁

I'm really freaking good at what I do. I'm proud of that and I'm not sorry. Took me a long time to get to this point, it's just an unfair comparison.

Hire me if you need a Hellcat. 😉

A CLIENT'S COMPETITOR CALLED ME FOR HIRE!
Let me flex- One of the greatest compliments I've ever gotten in this business recently a direct competitor called me out of the blue and brought up SEVERAL BUSINESSES I work with by name! They raved about their BRANDING and their CONSISTENT PRESENCE ONLINE.
Full transparency I also shared that with my client. And that when you're judging yourself against others, so is eveyone else.
Not even realizing you're the "Belle of the Ball" or the focus of someone's social media envy. 😉

Consistency is everything! Even when you think no one's watching, they are and down the road what you share like your videos will bring you new clients. Happens to me all the time I tell my clients this is a never-ending marathon.
