Are you posting the right things to connect with your followers on social media?

One way to measure the success of your content strategy is to monitor your engagements! If you're trying a new content strategy and you see an increase in engagement, that means it's working. If you see a decrease in engagement, dig further into which post types are receiving less engagement and make adjustments as needed.

This one is a hard pill to swallow for most of us... including me! (Kameron)

Many of us start service-based businesses because we enjoy the process and outcome of what we can do for others. However, as your business grows, you take on more clients and more offerings, your ability to juggle it all dwindles to the point of overwhelm and overload.

If you're at that point... where you feel like there's not enough time in the day for everything and things like posting and interacting on social media are getting pushed aside for bigger ticket tasks, it might be time to consider offloading some responsibility.

Let us help you stay consistently engaged and showing up on your feed to attract your ideal customers.

5 BILLION. The number of active users on social media as of 2024.
Think about it... it's been 16 years since I (Kameron) created my first Myspace account. Shortly after, I moved to Facebook and then added Instagram. The rest is history...

Social media allows businesses to potentially be in front of their ideal customer multiple times per day, create a community and encourage real connections by interacting, and can serve as a means of communicating real-time updates about the business, merchandise, and more.

How do you use social media for your business?

In a blog by Metricool (New Social Media Trends in 2025) they mention "Building Strong Communities" as one of the top things for businesses to focus on in the coming year.

"In 2025, social media success won’t be solely about attracting new followers but about engaging your current audience on a deeper level. Community-building will be critical, as users spend more time in private DMs and stories rather than scrolling the feed.

Develop interactive content to engage your community, like live Q&A sessions, AMAs (Ask Me Anything), polls, or even virtual meetups. Adam Mosseri, Head of Instagram, has mastered this approach with weekly AMAs on his Instagram Stories. Here, he casually engages with users, and answers their questions about the platform."

While this isn't necessarily a "new" trend, it is one that often gets overlooked. We encourage all of our clients to either engage and interact with their followers themselves or we can do it for them. Creating meaningful interactions with your followers and community or prospective clients is KEY to developing lasting relationships and encouraging advocates for your business. Advocates will tell others about your business and send you referrals...they're the best!

So, what does "Optimize your social channels for search" even mean? Where do you start?

1. Include relevant keywords and hashtags in your posts and in your bio.
2. Create a username that is easy to search for.
3. Keep your username consistent across accounts to be easily found.

One other thing I need to mention is...
If you serve a specific location, make sure to mention that location in your profile or description on every social media account so people understand where you are located and if you can serve them. If your business has multiple locations with different social accounts, it's also a good idea to use the location/city name in your username or page name. Otherwise, people have to click through multiple accounts to find the one they are looking for.

12/30/2024

It's hard to believe that 2024 is almost over!
We will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday of this week to celebrate the new year.

If you need to get in touch, please email us at [email protected].

Happy New Year!

Just finished reading this book. As a business owner, especially those of us who are offering virtual services, getting lost in the abyss of ideas and opportunities is easy to do.

There are so many people sharing their tips, tricks, and ideas on how you should run your business and obtain new clients. Unless you have a very clear roadmap on how to get where you’re going and stick to it, you can easily go on a detour without even knowing it and waste time and money doing so.

The same thing applies to your social media strategy. There’s always something else you could try that someone said is the answer. There will always be a new platform, new trend, new quick fix that will present itself as the miracle cure for all of your business needs. And that’s typically not the case.

Staying consistent and on track with your strategy for at least 3 months (one quarter) gives you time to collect data, analyze its effectiveness, and make decisions based on facts about your own results before shifting your approach.

Have you read this book or other books for entrepreneurs that have helped you gain insight or perspective on your business? Let me know in the comments!

What kind of content resonates with small business audiences?

It really depends on the type of business, the brand, and amount of time to dedicate toward creating content. Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Localized - Try to tie your community or service area into your posts. Can you take a picture of your work vehicle in front of a city sign or well-known area near where you're working? Could you pop into a small local diner for lunch and tag them in your post or story? What about any local updates or events you could talk about? Get a conversation started and let your audience know you're just like them!

• Customized - If you are hosting an event or attending a fundraising event, talk directly to the people who may also be going. Personalize your posting to the audience you're in front of that day, as long as it makes sense. If you have the ability to offer a free estimate in a location, you're already working that day, possibly runs ads targeting that small area a week of so ahead of time and see about getting some consultations scheduled while you're there.

• Freebies - It's a lot harder to turn something down that is free, don't you think? Hosting giveaways and offering freebies on your social media is a great way to attract attention, promote your brand, increase your followers, and encourage people to engage with your post. Give away something of value and find a way to make it an ongoing promotion where they have to continue to vote daily or do a couple steps to enter.

• Common Pain Points - What better way to win over a new customer or client than to listen, hear, and then relate or sympathize with their pain points?
For example: If you had to post something to your business page in the next 30 seconds, could you do it? Would the post be quality and on brand? If the thought of this scares you, you're not alone! Many business owners come to us because they struggle with what to post and how to stay consistently active and branded on the platforms. We help business owners, like you, succeed on social media daily, without all the stress!

• Behind-the-Scenes - It doesn't have to be perfect to be good. Share what you're doing. Day-to-day tasks might seem redundant and boring to you, but others watch hours of YouTube videos literally of people doing boring things. YouTubers and influencers are making BANK from videos of them cleaning their house, budgeting household finances, rolling marbles down tracks (my son pays someone's rent with this one!) or event just their daily lives as a (fill in the blank.) Your life doesn't have to be extravagant to be relatable and interesting.

• Success Stories - How has your business/service/product impacted someone? Talk about it. Get them to talk about it in the form of a review or testimonial and share that. Success is always more believable when someone else is talking about it. If nothing else, show them the metrics! Numbers are hard to argue.

• Tips/Education - If you are a service-based business, share some tips that your ideal client would benefit from. Make them easily attainable, not well-known to people outside of your industry, and very helpful. Sometimes, when working in an industry for a long time, it can be easy to forget that other people don't know everything you know. We get to a point where we think our knowledge is common and that we have nothing to share, but that's not the case! There is always some bit of knowledge that can be shared to help someone else.

Leave a comment if you found any of these ideas helpful! 😊

Find Your Ideal Audience on Social Media

How do you decide which platforms to be on when it comes to social media for your business? Honestly... you have to do your research. Before you ever decide which platforms to be on, you must fully understand who your target customers are, what they want/need, where they spend their time, which platforms they use for researching products/services, etc. Once you have that figured out, take that information and see how it aligns with each platform. Also consider how much time you have to dedicate toward making content for the platforms or if you are willing and able to invest in help with managing your social media accounts. Many platforms are leaning towards video, especially short-form video. Video is much more time consuming that photos or graphics. We'd suggest starting with two platforms and see how those do after staying consistent for a few months. Use that data to learn from your audience and understand what they like and respond to. If you get a ton of likes and comments on REELs but not on graphics, update your strategy to use primarily video content and possibly consider cross posting those videos to other platforms, such as YouTube, if applicable to your business.

Content Pillars for Social Media Success

One thing that makes batching content creation easier is the use of Content Pillars. Content Pillars should be decided based on your target audience and marketing strategy. Content Pillars simplify the process of creating content by having set boundaries to stay within and a structured schedule for when to post each type of content. Not having content pillars in place is like an author walking up to a blank piece of paper without any forethought as to what they'll write about. The first draft might be spot on, or it could take hundreds of attempts to come up with a decent idea. Writers typically outline what they write about before starting to write the first chapter. It's the same with using content pillars to guide the content for your business's social media accounts.

Don't forget to actually engage with the audience you've worked so hard to grow! #socialmediatips #socialmediamarketing #tylertexas #smallbusiness #tylertxbusiness #texasbusiness #easttexasbusiness #easttexasentrepreneur

Responding to reviews is crucial for showcasing excellent customer service! This is a great way for businesses to build trust and credibility with their customer base. #CustomerService #ReviewManagement #BrandReputation #tylertx
