🌟 Stories sometimes feel like that “fun place” where you can throw your puppy pics, weekend plans, and happy hour cocktail order. BUT if that’s all you’re using them for, you’re missing out!
📖 Stories are where your warm audience hangs out. They check in there to see what you’re up to, when you’re open, what deals you have next.
You should be sharing the details of your service, telling stories about client transformations, and making real connections. You should be using Stories to find out what problems your audience is having, what questions they’re asking, what they’d like to know about next.
You’re leaving money on the table if you’re not selling in your Stories!
Wish you could sell more of whatever you’re offering on Instagram? stories are a great place to start! I’m hosting my next Elevate coaching session on May 2 & it’s all about Selling in your Stories.
Want to join us? DM “elevate” and I’ll get you all the details, plus a special discount! 🤩
➡️ Those sounded like good advice, right? Here are the facts:
✔️ Being consistent is great! But it’s not the same as a strategy. Posting everyday won’t lead to actual results unless you have a strong strategy
✔️ Yes, post when you can. Don’t stress about ideal times or posting every day. But if all you do is post, you’ll never see the growth you want for your business.
✔️ Ok, you DON’T have to show your face! But your ideal client wants to actually know you and your brand - and showing your face is a great way to build trust. And, FYI, your logo is not your brand.
✔️ Yes, you can totally manage your own socials. (In fact, I’m running a group right now with women business owners who are doing just that!) But you need knowledge and strategy, otherwise you’re always going to feel like you’re throwing spaghetti at a wall.

😜 I couldn’t even think of ONE.
✨Social media is and will continue to be one of the best places to market your small business!✨ Organic social media provide a platform where even the smallest business can grow, reach new customers, and build connection and relationships.
If you’re not really seeing how social media is helping your business, it may be because:
➡️ You’re focusing on the wrong platforms. Has your audience shifted platforms? You may need to try something new!
➡️ You’re not consistently posting quality content. Consistent doesn’t mean daily- it just means posting on a regular schedule that feels sustainable for you. Ask yourself a few questions to check for quality: Would you want to spend time viewing the content you’re putting out? Does your content answer your clients’ biggest questions? Are you addressing real needs for your audience?
➡️ You’ve forgotten about engagement! Don’t post and ghost! Stick around and comment on your audience’s posts. Be sure you’re responding to EVERY comment and DM in a meaningful way. Post in your stories daily.
Need more personalized help? Shoot me your questions here and I’ll help you out! I also offer. FREE 30 minute consultation where we can do a deeper dive in to your social media and what you can try next!

Remember, people buy from people. 🤝🏼
So whether you're selling houses, a skin care regimen, healthcare services, online courses - or whatever you sell! - people will value your authenticity and connection with them over perfect feeds or a shiny marketing strategy.
Like if you agree! (And then go post the thing!)💙

DON'T create new content every single time you post!
Reuse content that:
✅ performed well in the past
✅ you think your current audience would enjoy
✅ new followers may need to know
✅ addresses a current situation/ problem/ issue that your audience is facing
🌟Not everyone saw the post the first time you posted it! So it's a good idea to reuse quality photos, videos, carousel posts, and graphics.
You can post content in exactly the same way OR rework the content to provide a slightly different experience and reach different parts of your audience.

It's easy to get distracted online... and not just by scrolling through reels. (👋🏻 Hi, it's me.)
Focusing on the WRONG thing is a distraction + won't help your business to grow.
We'd all like more eyes on our businesses - so more followers are great! But more followers don't always mean more sales. 📈
Instead, set goals and intentions for your posts. Track results based on those goals; then you'll actually know which kinds of content are growing your business - not just gaining you followers who will never become customers.
Do you track your content data? Let me know in the comments!
