Day 22: Are your posts getting ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ?
Are you out of ideas for encouraging engagement and captivating your audience?
Here are 5๏ธโฃ QUICK content ideas for your next few posts!
๐จRemember to tailor these to YOUR specific niche and audience and then be sure to include YOUR answers so you can adapt this content to showcase what you are offering AND allow your audience to get to know, like and trust you more.
1. The good ol' FILL IN THE BLANK. (ie: Fill in the blank....My favorite social media platform is ___________.)
2. Let them pick a spot on the scale. (ie: On a scale of 1-10, how confident are you with your copywriting?)
3. Let them choose! (ie: Would you rather spend 15 mins a day on Instagram and see dramatic follower growth throughout the course of a year OR have one reel go super viral?)
4. The "Show Me" prompt. (ie: Show me the last photo you took to advertise a good or service you provide. I want to see what you've been up to!)
5. What is your...anything! (What is your biggest goal for this week?!)
๐Let me know below which one YOU will try first!
Day 16: Business Owners often ask me: Should I be on Pinterest?
The answer is YES!
Pinterest USED to be another social media platform -- and while it's still technically filed under that category, it actually functions as a SEARCH engine!
You should be on Pinterest if you want your products or services to be found. Period. End of the sweet little story.
๐You can pin without blogs and you can pin without videos (although I totally recommend having those as they definitely sweeten the deal and help to increase exposure.)
๐You can pin even if you don't have products to sell! (What about pinning service-based pins?! People want/need those, too.)
๐You can pin with just an Etsy shop
...or with just a website
...or if you have both
...or even if you only have an Instagram account and no other landing page *yet. (You definitely want to work on obtaining a shoppable site for yourself that isn't another social platform.)
๐ฅYou know the saying, "If you wait until the perfect time you will be waiting forever?" Well, consider this the saying for Pinterest. Of course having all your ducks in a row to propel your Pinterest account is IDEAL. BUT...you can start with what you have and grow from there, one pin at a time. Don't be intimidated! Pinterest and your ideal consumers WANT and NEED your content. So let's get it out there!

Day 9:
How to make sure your story backgrounds stay consistent with your brand colors on Instagram.
Statistics show that presenting a brand consistently across all platforms can increase revenue by up to 23%...๐คฏ
You brand colors help your audience identify information that comes from you --- and there are a whole slew of studies that explain how different colors impact peoples' thinking, emotions and even actions (think: shopping habits) -- so, my point is -- using your brand colors matters. ๐
Here's how to make sure your story backgrounds match your brand colors (if your brand colors are not included in the preset colors.)
๐
1. Upload a saved photo into your story from your camera roll that includes the color of the background you want.
2. Choose the pencil tool.
3. Click the color selector and hover over the color you want to "grab."
4. Press and hold on your screen with one finger. The color should appear on the entire screen.
5. Now go back to upload a photo from your camera roll, select it and then voila!
TIP 4: REPURPOSE that content!
It's SO important to watch what has worked for you in the past and then COME BACK TO THAT.
Sure, new content is great, but your audience will tell you what they want and need from you - don't be afraid to listen to them for the sake of newness.๐
Watch your high-performing content and consider repurposing that in several ways.
For example: one high-performing live (or youtube) video can translate into:
๐an IG story
๐an IG reel
๐an IG photo feed post
๐a TikTok
๐a blog post for your website
๐an email update
๐a Pinterest still pin and video pin
๐a Facebook still photo post
๐a Facebook short video....just to name a few. ๐
