The Social Bind

29/08/2024

It might not seem fair, but in a world that demands immediate answers you want to be sure your business can solve their problem.

Your marketing should directly reflect that!

Stumped on how to approach that creatively? I can help you 🖤🤗

Help a friend out 🖤

Supporting your friends and family is one of the BEST things you can do!! When people start businesses they pour their heart and soul into them! It feels good when the closest people around them choose to support them

👍 like their stuff
💌 share their stuff
♥️ refer them to friends
💭 engage with them online
🤝 follow them

Have you heard? Follower count is OUT.

If I have learned anything over the last few months helping clients apply for different social collabs it’s that follower count just doesn’t pack the punch if used to. In the age of buying followers, it’s ENGAGEMENT that tells the tale.

I encourage my clients to engage, engage, ENGAGE. The algorithm is even picking up on the trend.

Best times to engage?
• Right before & after a post
• Within minutes of receiving a comment or DM** (the algorithm is really loving DM’s)
• Anytime you are mindlessly scrolling, throw your friends some ❤️

I was browsing Pinterest this week and ran across this post & then this article that talks about “best times to post”.

What did I learn?

I learned that a lot of these gurus are full of HOT AIR 😵‍💫

It’s hard enough to just be present on socials, much less stressing over the specific hour you need to post. Then I saw 3am and I about lost it 🫠

THREE CST!? Like why? I mean I get it, SOME people have insomnia…. But I can tell@you the majority of people are SOUND ASLEEP at 3 in the morning. Maybe it has something to do with being “first on the feed” but honestly I feel like the algorithm shows me posts from 1-2 days ago on my home page when I mindlessly scroll first thing in the morning 👀

Focus on this INSTEAD:
1) BE YOURSELF! No one wants to see anyone but you on your page! So don’t be afraid to embrace who you are.

2) Post consistently. Pick a day, a time frame & try and post in that window! It’s okay to switch it up HERE and THERE. But being consistent shows the best results.

3) Engage before and after posting! That drives up your views and the algorithm LOVES engagement. Take a few mins before and after posting to comment, like & reply to messages.

Do you know what time blocking is?

I’m considering trying out this method for my own business. 🕰️

Basically what it is you take your working hours in a day and a-lot so many minutes or hours to a single task you need to complete that day. Kind of like budgeting, every task will have its place in time.

Because like Jim Rohn says, “you run the day, or the day runs you”.

Unpopular opinion, but you COULD run an entire business all on your own.

It’s possible.

BUT is it exhausting? YES!
Do you get write off’s to help ease the burden of owning a small business? YES!
So why not take full advantage of hiring out exhausting tasks such as SOCIAL MEDIA…

You will do two things IMMEDIATELY by hiring out your socials:
1) You create a consistent platform. People know exactly when to expect you and how to expect you to show up in their feed. It takes the average person seeing something 7 times before they realize they NEED it. So posting once every 2-3 weeks just IS NOT going to cut it.

2) You free up your time! Less time spent on finding trends or worrying about editing reels, means MORE time is found in your craft. Some say time is VALUABLE, and I would agree. The more time you have to perfect your business, the better you will sell and grow 💜✨

Let’s chat about how it might look if I could help you. Message me and I will set up a discovery call or zoom with you ☺️

It’s better to try & fail then to never try at all 💖

You are capable of doing HUGE THINGS but if you keep yourself in a box, how will you ever do the things?

GET OUT THE BOX. 📦

One thing that will NEVER bite you in the butt, serving others 🧡

Im not saying make silly decisions and give your life away, BUT I AM SAYING that you will gain when you truly are in your craft to serve others.

People notice how hard someone works and how passionate someone is when they go above & beyond.

So go at your business with the game plan to FIRST serve others. Second, make money & third IMPACT people.

I don’t know about you, but anytime someone tells me “oh you can’t do that” I’m about 89% positive I’m going to test the boundaries 🤣

Look, there will always be someone out there to place or confirm your doubt. But what do you feel in your gut? What do you feel in your soul? Does it feel right? Do you feel passion? Are you seeing excitement? If you are, then I say GO FOR IT. If the cost isn’t greater than the reward, then I’m game ALL IN 🤪🤝🩷⚡️💕

Locking arms with people who are just as driven and supportive as you are WILL level you up.

As a social media manager, the number one portion of my job is to be your BEST hype woman. Your success means just as much to me and it does to you. You may lead, but I am just half a step behind you.

If you don't have this for your brand, you should. Especially in the world of social media. It can be overwhelming to keep up. BUT if you trust me to ease that burden, WE WILL see success.

Ever been in a place where you knew you needed change? But fear crept in and kept you paralyzed. OR comfort grabbed hold of you and kept you right where you were?

I have.

If you are not willing to grow, you will get behind. I am not saying change things that work, but use that as leverage. Try new things. Test the waters. If nothing changes, well then my friend, NOTHING CHANGES.

He isn't here! He is risen!

Praise The Lord. Blessed be the believer & may all who are weary, come.

Happy Easter.

Now, I am not a betting girl. But if I knew you were operating outside of consistency, I would put money on you not seeing substantial growth or impact in your business/influence.

I know that sounds harsh, but sometimes harsh needs to bring you back to reality.

I tell every single client I work with that consistency is where we see the MOST payoff. Could you go viral? Absolutely. Could you get recognized by a larger business or influencer, SURE! BUT without showing up, you decrease your chances of either happening.

Consistency builds trust. Trust builds community. Your community WILL support you.

Every dream started with a vision. It takes trial, error, more trial and even more error to build a foundation. The best thing you can do is LEARN.

The more you pursue your passion, the stronger you get through every trial and tribulation. Write down your BIG GOAL. When your eyes are set on the prize, NOTHING can tear you down.

Go for the goal. Stop worrying about qualification. If God gave it to you, He will give you the tools to make it happen. Have faith and MOVE 🫶

Your words hold power over your accomplishments. Fill your mouth with negativity, and surly negativity will follow. Fill it with courage, and you will stride in strength. Strides forward only add value. ☁️YOU WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN☁️

Next time you want to be negative, flip the script. Only you can make it happen and I have faith you will. Waiting on luck is like waiting for rain in the desert, it can happen, but it is too rare to waste time waiting.

A day to reflect. To give thanks. Hosanna in the highest!

You have got to get your head out of the mud. A little improvement is better than not moving at all. Yes, rest is good, but have a plan ahead of your rest. With tools like Meta and scheduling, you have NO reason to not show up.

Pre-plan your content. The best way to do this is to work with a social media manager you can trust. You want a week off? Schedule your week with me, and let me take the reigns for you. Business doesn't sleep, but YOU CAN.

There is nothing more painful then hearing a cherished one discredit the work you have put into your craft.

In a world where it could be so easy to support one another, many are quick to throw labels on your hard work. "She's so lucky"... heard that before.

Little do they see how much you have worked, sacrificed, & taken high risks to get the "fortune".

But YOU know your roads traveled. You know the tears shed, the fears faced, the prayers answered (and not answered), you persevered through the loss and you pushed until you MADE IT. Be proud. Stand tall & next time you hear someone mention luck, be bold and remind them that they too could chase and work for their dreams

I can hear the church lady now, "Honey, if God called you to it, He will carry you through it".

And she's right. If you have been called somewhere you will be equipped to get past the trials you will face. Don't let the fear of failure, keep you from putting your shoe in the game. Trust your gut, and pursue your passion.

13/03/2024

I know you have heard, authenticity is in.

If you don't share your story, how will anyone get to know you?

There is a reason you have this passion. There is a reason you push with purpose. Let us know, what drives you? What made you take the risk? What keeps you motivated?

I'd love to know!! Drop some comments below

Often we get caught up in moving product, and while YES we need to move product, problem solving SELLS better.

Does your client need an outfit, quick, for the weekend?

Does your product solve a solution of time saving?

Do you sell something that will help someone get healthier?

Whatever passion drove you to start your business, look first at the problem you started this business to solve. When you figure it out, SELL THAT.

The first thing I tell most clients when I meet with them, "If you push for perfection, you will never get on first".

Life is full of risks. Taking action may not guarantee a win, but I can tell you what will guarantee a loss, NO ACTION. Be okay with the mundane days. Be okay showing up even on the days when you feel like "you just aren't your best". It will pay off, I promise.

06/03/2024

If you are not consistent in showing up, you will NEVER earn someone's trust.

People need trust in order to buy from you. People need trust in order to hire you. People need trust in order to believe you.

The definition of Trust is "firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something". You are looking to establish THAT with people. Don't underestimate the power of being present.
