Have you considered these ideas? ☁️

Saving posts on socials can be used as a strategy for your performance in more than just one way! Here are 3 ways I use this strategy for myself and my clients.

☁️ First, use the save element to save inspiration. A big part of trending content is making high performing content relevant to your business. Every time you come across a post on social media and it inspires you, save it into a folder on your account.

☁️ Second, saving content can better help you understand your competition. Each time your competitors post content and it performs well, think about saving that post. It's important to be aware of what your competitors are doing well.

☁️ Third, consider this for boosting your engagement! Every time you post on Instagram, go ahead and hit the save button. That's right! You're saving your own post. It sounds silly, but it'll give you that initial boost of engagement. Plus, it's completely anonymous 😉🤍

Repeat after me...⬇️

Outsourcing. Doesn't. Mean. You're. Failing. 💪

Outsourcing means you are SUCCEEDING.

When you acknowledge you may need more hands in your business, you're making an investment in your growth and success.

As business owners, we can not do every aspect of our businesses to perfection 100% of the time. Attempting to achieve that will become overwhelming.

It's ok to recognize you need help! It's applaudable to take a step back and pour your focus into other areas of your business that need you.

Are you doing this in your comment section? 🫣⬇

Growing engagement is something we all strive for! After all, who doesn’t love a loaded comment section and rising likes or shares?

But are you risking good engagement with your responses?

Simply responding to your comments is the bare minimum. It’s essential to go that extra step to continue your engagement, and create an authentic experience and trust with your consumers.

You might think that as long as you respond at all to your comments that you are fine, but you are putting your business and it’s performance online at risk by not creating engaging engagement on your end.

What do I mean by this specifically?

The next time you go to respond with a heart emoji, put yourself in the consumer’s shoes and think about what you’d love in response to a comment instead.

Engaging copy is essential for social media success not just within your post put in response to your comments as well.

To create engaging copy, focus on using language that is clear, compelling and fits in with your audience. Most importantly, speak directly to their needs and desires.

In my example here, I show you exactly how to flip your response into something that is more engaging ⬇ ⬇ ⬇

In the first prompt we see this:

☕Emma: I love these!

☕You: Thanks!

“Thanks” is a nice response, but it is not ENGAGING. You left your consumer with nothing to respond back to. We want to create a thoughtful conversation with our consumers.

Try this instead!

☕Emma: I love these!

☕You: Thanks, Emma! Which is your fav?

We acknowledged your consumer’s comment with the same gratitude but made it a touch more personal by adding her name. We continued the conversation by following it up with a question to reel her in. This is engaging because she will hopefully respond in return.

Continue this in your comment section and I guarantee you will start to see a growth in engagement.

Always remember, each comment is a unique opportunity for you to connect with your audience. Never respond the same way twice!

What’s your favorite way to keep your consumers engaged?

Here's your Monday reminder to always stay inspired!

What media, books, podcast ect. have inspired you lately? Drop it in the comments ✨️⬇️

One task I have prioritized as a marketer is ensuring that I'm ALWAYS learning and staying inspired. Whether this be with staying up-to-date on all the latest marketing trends, or fine-tuning my own business processes. I take time each week just to focus on this.

I've noticed it keeps me excited about my craft, and helps create a better experience for my clients!

Not to mention it trickles into my personal life outside of work as well! I love investing in my business, but also in my life!

I hope your Mondays are amazing and full of motivation!

Is your Facebook account at risk? 😨

It's time to set up your two-factor authentication if you haven't already!

Drop a "🤍" in the comments if you have this on already!

Two-factor authentication sounds scary, but it's actually a very simple process!

I encourage (and almost demand lol) all my clients have this on to ensure their accounts are secure. Two-factor authentication protects your account by requiring a code if there's a login attempt from a device Facebook doesn't recognize.

Here's how to set up your two-factor authentication:

🤍Go to your "Security and Login Settings"

🤍Scroll down to use Two-Factor Authentication

🤍Then click "Edit"

🤍Click the security method you want to add then follow the directions

You'll have the option of choosing between an authentication app, text message or another connected device. So anytime your account is being logged into from another device, it will prompt a security code entry from one of these.

Don't hesitate securing your account! Take 5 minutes out of your day to protect your Facebook, you'll thank me later.

Giveaways aren't dead, here's why ⬇️

Do you remember when giveaways used to flood our feeds back in the day? Every brand and creator was pushing out giveaways like crazy hoping to gain some traction and attract an audience. It almost felt like…spam. Which is exactly why present day we see giveaways less and less. Consumers are looking more for authenticity over feeling like they’re being sold something. Especially on social media.

Don’t let that stop you from considering a giveaway for your brand though!

There’s plenty of clever ways to tie a giveaway into your branding, and have it feel more genuine.

Here some strategy instances a giveaway would still be a great fit for!

1.To gain reach or new followers

If you’re strategies are currently focusing on widening your scope of reach to hopefully gain new followers, a giveaway could be a good option for you! Especially if you are encouraging consumers to share your post on their feeds.

2.To encourage post engagement

Looking to up engagement with your strategy plans? Consider throwing a giveaway into the mix. Give consumers ample opportunities with this incentive to interact with your content.

3.To promote a new business update

If your business is aiming to promote a new service, product, event or even re-brand a giveaway might be the perfect way to help that gain traction! A giveaway can get consumers excited for your new update, and have them feel a part of your journey.

I bet you’re making batches of holiday cookies right now! 🍪🎄

Have you considered batching your social media content as well??

It’s already easy to get overwhelmed with cultivating ideas for content. What should I post, is it good enough, is it engaging enough, is it relevant enough? Don’t allow the process of creating that content to burden you as well.

This is where batching comes in! Batching content forces you to nail down a schedule for your content process, from ideation to posting. When you batch content you dedicate specific time frames to each step in your process instead of cramming everything in at once. Like content research, creation, copy, scheduling and engagement.

What are the best benefits of this?

1. Content that is more aligned with your branding
2. Room for strategy in your content planning
3. More time

However, consider that this still takes time, dedication and discipline. If you lack the time to do this, consider reaching out to someone in social media management who can step in a take care of this process.

I’m gonna toot my own horn here, lol. I can be just that person for you! See the link below, let’s schedule a call to talk social media management and your business over some coffee today!

Is it just me, or does my background look like a screen saver??

I promise it's real! lol.

It's that time of year, when there's a chill in the air and the holiday mugs are out! I love getting to know my clients' favorite coffee or cafe beverages so we can enjoy them together during our calls. There's something about sipping away at your favorite beverage, especially when there's a nip in the air, to get you in the mood to get to WORK.

My current favs are actually not coffee at all (SHOCKER):
1. Peppermint Mocha Hot Cocoa - Starbucks
2. Chocolate Truffle Hot Cocoa - Sillycow Farms
3. Chamomile Tea

Let me know your favorite cold weather drink in the comments, I need some inspo!

You deserve to dream big with your business. ✨️

This is something I find myself saying a LOT with clients and potential clients alike. I've even had to remind myself!

It's so easy to get wrapped up in every aspect of your business, and to feel like you get lost in the mix tasks lacking the time to do them to the best of your ability.

If you're starting to feel this way, it's time to...OUTSOURCE! Outsourcing is no way a dig at you as a business owner. If anything, it proves you can confidentially allocate what in your business needs your most attention, and what needs help.

POV: You can’t focus on the view because you’re thinking about your client's social media strategies.

Not gonna lie, this is definitely me on the daily. I find myself daydreaming about things like strategies, design, content ideas, and social media trends. Not to mention, I love my daily cup of joe to help get the creative juices working.

This is exactly how I know I'm in the right industry. When it's something you can't stop thinking about, PURSUE it! If you're not passionate about it, there's a good chance you'll find it difficult to motivate yourself to push forward.

Are you pursuing your passion?? Let me know in the comments!👇
