PRO SOCIAL MEDIA BUSINESS TIP ✨
Just because it worked for them, doesn't mean it will work for you!
I see small businesses saying they give up and that they are doing exactly what the influencer they follow said to do and it's not working... let's be honest for a minute ⬇
You and your business are unique and the more you understand what makes you unique the better you can market your brand on social media... You will have to go through trial and error until you find the right strategy for your brand.
Most of the time trying something new can take up to three months to show results - I know it might not be what you want to hear, but it's better than telling you lies about how you can "grow fast on social media"
If you are curious on what the first steps you should take to research your audience... MESSAGE ME! I would love to help.
Just wanted to say Hey 🙂 and that I want to follow your business ⬇
I hope you all had a good week and will have an even better weekend! I know I will be busy making content for some of the best clients ever.
I love working with small businesses and seeing their passion for what they do! If you own a small business tag you business profile below and I will give it a follow. I love supporting you all in any way I can.
Does your dream happen to need social media content to help it grow?
Of course it does, we live in 2024 and social media is an essential marketing tool now. Starting off on social media can be overwhelming, especially if you aren't familiar with the platforms or how to create content. KEEP READING ⬇
I will give you a rundown of the basics:
- Write down what industry you are in.
- Write down who your audience is.
- Write down 4 themes that your audience is interested in. (ex. Fitness, Protein, At Home Workouts...)
- Write down your goals for your social media.
Now use TikTok or YouTube search and type in one of your 4 themes... Read the suggestions that YouTube or TikTok come up with, and BOOM you have a list of content ideas that people are searching for RIGHT NOW!
SMALL TIP: before you try this, keep track of how many followers you have or the average amount of likes or views. Then try it out for 3 months and look at how much you have grown!
Just posting on whatever platform you feel like is not a strategy...
Define your target audience and meet them where they are! They won't specifically search for you, so you need to specifically search for them.
Let us know which platform works for you in the comments - help others in all industries gain some knowledge from you experience.
Here is what you should know about SEO:
SEO, or search engine optimization, is the process of optimizing websites so that they rank well on search engines through organic (non paid) searches.
For you to show up organically on search engines you need to optimize specific parts or your content so that Google can help people searching for content like yours find you. Here are the basic things to optimize so that Google can work with you:
- Titles
- Captions
- Image alt text
- Keywords in headers and paragraphs
Start with this as step one into the world of SEO - it can get overwhelming, but soon it will be a habit of yours.
PRO TIP 😎
Don’t be afraid to recycle content strategically!
Repurposing your top-performing content saves you time and energy. Yes, you can use reels on TikTok or Youtube. Each platform reaches a different audience.
I get this question a lot ⬇
