Lately, I've noticed a common trend on social media – many of you are struggling to grow and monetize your platforms, yet feel hesitant to invest in a social media manager.
Let's chat about why investing in your business is crucial for reaching its full potential, especially when it comes to managing your online presence.
Here's the deal: without investing in your business, it's tough to unlock its full potential. Sure, you might be able to handle your social media on your own, but think about all the time and effort you're putting in without seeing the results you want.
Time is money, right?
That's where a social media manager comes in. They're like your secret weapon for success! Here's why investing in one is a smart move:
🎯 Social media managers know the ins and outs of the online world. They stay updated on trends, algorithms, and strategies to help your business stand out in a crowded digital landscape.
🎯 Let's face it – managing social media takes time. A social media manager frees up your schedule so you can focus on what you do best – running your business. No more stressing about posting schedules or content creation!
🎯 Want to attract your ideal clients? A social media manager knows how to target your audience effectively. They'll create content that resonates with your followers and helps you grow your online community.
🎯 Turning followers into customers can be tricky, but a social media manager knows the ropes. They'll develop strategies to monetize your platforms, whether through sponsored content, affiliate marketing, or product sales.
🎯 Consistency is key on social media. A social media manager will ensure your platforms stay active and engaging, keeping your audience coming back for more.
Investing in a social media manager isn't just about spending money – it's about investing in the future success of your business. Think of it as giving your business the boost it needs to thrive in the digital age.

🌱 Why I Believe Organic Marketing Beats Paid Ads:

🎯 Organic marketing allows you to build genuine connections with your audience. Instead of just reaching out with ads, you engage with people through valuable content and meaningful interactions.

🎯 When people come across your content naturally, they're more likely to trust it. Organic marketing lets you earn trust over time by consistently delivering value and demonstrating expertise in your niche.

🎯 While paid ads can deliver quick results, organic marketing offers long-term benefits. By investing in building a loyal audience organically, you create a sustainable foundation for growth that can withstand changes in algorithms and ad platforms.

🎯 While paid ads require a continuous budget, organic marketing can be cost-effective in the long run. Once you've built a strong organic presence, you can maintain and grow your audience without constantly spending money on ads.

🎯 Organic marketing fosters community engagement and brand loyalty. When people feel connected to your brand through genuine interactions, they're more likely to become loyal followers and advocates.

🎯 Organic marketing allows for greater flexibility and creativity. You have the freedom to experiment with different content formats, strategies, and approaches without the constraints of ad budgets and targeting options.

🎯 By focusing on organic marketing, you invest in sustainable growth that's built on real relationships and valuable content. While paid ads can provide a temporary boost, organic strategies lay the groundwork for continued success in the long term.

In my opinion, organic marketing offers a more authentic, sustainable, and cost-effective approach to building a loyal audience and growing your brand.

Attention Coaches and Consultants!

It's time to recognize the true value of your knowledge and expertise.

You're not a freebie – you're offering years of hard-earned wisdom and guidance.

Before giving away your valuable insights for FREE, let's talk about qualifying your leads.

Here's why it matters:

🎯 Your knowledge is valuable, and you deserve to be compensated for it. By qualifying your leads, you ensure that you're investing your time and expertise where it truly counts.

🎯 Time is your most precious resource. By qualifying leads, you avoid wasting time on individuals who may not be ready or willing to invest in your services.

🎯 Establishing clear boundaries from the beginning sets the tone for your relationship with potential clients. It shows that you value your time and expertise, and you expect the same level of respect in return.

So, how can you qualify your leads? Here are a few simple ways:

1️⃣ Identify the characteristics of your ideal client, including their goals, challenges, and budget.

2️⃣ Dive deep into your potential client's needs and objectives. Ask questions that help you understand their situation and determine if they're a good fit for your services.

3️⃣ Be upfront about your pricing, process, and expectations from the beginning. This helps w**d out individuals who may not be serious about working with you.

4️⃣ Schedule a discovery call to further assess your potential client's needs and determine if there's a good fit for collaboration.

Remember, your knowledge and expertise are valuable assets. By qualifying your leads, you ensure that you're investing your time and energy where it will yield the greatest return – both for you and your clients.

🎯 Want to connect with your ideal audience on Facebook? Finding the right groups is the key!

Here's how to do it:

✅ Understand who your target audience is. What are their interests, needs, and preferences? This will help you identify the types of groups they're likely to be part of.

✅ Use Facebook's search feature to find groups related to your niche or industry. Try searching for keywords that align with your content or expertise.

✅ Some Facebook groups provide insights into their members, such as demographics and interests. Look for groups with members who match your target audience profile.

✅ Once you find potential groups, join them and explore their content and discussions. Pay attention to the type of content shared, the level of engagement, and the group's vibe.

✅ Assess whether the group's focus aligns with your content and goals. Look for groups where your expertise can add value and where members are likely to be interested in what you have to offer.

✅ Start engaging with the group by participating in discussions, sharing insights, and offering support. Build genuine relationships with members before promoting your own content or services.

✅ Respect the group's rules and guidelines. Avoid spamming or self-promotion, and focus on adding value to the community.

By strategically leveraging other Facebook groups, you can find and connect with your ideal audience in a meaningful way.

Happy group hunting! 🌟

How to grow your Facebook audience?
⏬

✅ Post the right content!

If you want to grow your audience, 1️⃣ you need to create content that’s authentically true and aligned to YOU and what YOU OFFER, 🛑 NOT a copy and paste from all those 6+ figure coaches you have on your Facebook Feed.

Always be truly unapologetically authentically 💃 YOU, because everyone else is already taken…

✅ The next step is, how and what do you need to post in order to get your IDEAL AUDIENCE to find you firstly and secondly to start sharing and recommending your valuable content?

Well… Today I wanted to share a few ℹ️ Facebook post ideas with you, that are guaranteed to help increase engagement with your IDEAL AUDIENCE!!

🗝️ Ask questions

One great way to start conversations with your audience is by simply asking questions. Think creatively about the types of questions you can ask.

Consider how you can also ask your audience relevant questions that are fun and easy to respond to. You may even generate future content ideas from their responses.

🗝️ Trending topics

One great way to increase reach and engagement is to post about trending topics people are talking about. Not only can this increase your chances of appearing in feeds, but people will be more likely to comment on and share your posts as well.

🗝️ Show your personality

Your business page doesn’t have to be all business all the time. In fact, it’s a great idea to show some brand personality off throughout your posts and post captions.

🗝️ Industry tips

Sharing tips and tricks of the trade is a great way to increase engagement and reach with your audience. They’re likely always after more intel, so the more you can provide, the better.
Share your own industry tips and tricks, and decide whether you want to share text-only statuses or create branded graphics or videos to accompany them.

🗝️ Post at optimal times

While this is less of a content idea, it’s still a good Facebook posting tip in general. Make sure you share your Facebook posts at times when your audience is online and engaged, or you could miss out on a lot of interaction.

🗝️ Test various posting frequencies

Testing different posting frequencies is such a good way to see what works for your business and your audience, and I always recommend trying out different frequencies until you find your happy medium of content creation and audience engagement.

REMEMBER, YOUR VIBE ATTRACTS YOUR TRIBE!!

Never trade your 💎 authenticity for others 👍 approval, likes or follows.

Stick to your WHY…

Why did you start your business, and why was it worth getting out of your comfort zone and 🎯 taking a leap of faith towards pursuing your 💭 DREAMS?

Be 🧬 YOU first and YOUR TRIBE will 🧲 FOLLOW!!

HOW TO FIND YOUR IDEAL GROUPS!!!

Today, I wanted to share a few TIPS with you on how to find the IDEAL type of GROUPS for your NICHE on FB….

👉 Always do your research to see what’s important to your Ideal Client, in regard to their PAIN POINT.
👉 When you found a group that looks like a perfect fit, first scroll through the group and check out the MOST RECENT ACTIVITY (posts and comments) from different members, inside that specific group.
👉 Select up to 10 MAIN GROUPS.
👉 Do an INTRO POST to these groups, not related to your BUSINESS, it's better to make members feel CONNECTED to you first.
👉 Get involved in CONVERSATIONS!!! Comment and give VALUE to other members inside the group's posts.
👉 Acknowledge the person’s post you are replying to.
👉 Ask OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS.
👉 Do REGULAR POSTS to these 10 MAIN GROUPS. CONSISTENCY IS THE NAME OF THE GAME!!
👉 Send FRIEND REQUESTS to the members on whom’s posts you are commenting on and to those members who replied to your POSTS. This helps with visibility.
👉 Do a maximum of 15-20 COMMENTS on other members posts DAILY.

Always remember…. BE A PERSON!!! It’s about BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS with people FIRST!!!

Defining and Understanding your Avatar!!

One of the MOST important and FIRST steps you have to take when starting your business is to set up a very detailed overview of WHO YOUR COMPANY’S AVATAR is!!

I get asked so often ""but how do I know who a qualifying lead is or how to know if someone is actually a correct fit for you?""

Today I would love to give you a few tips on identifying your IDEAL client!!

👉 You have to understand people's frame of reference and their value system, to understand how to make them comfortable to buy.
👉 Find out what their “WHY” right now is and what would get them to see your product/service as being in alignment with helping them get it.
👉 You need to know what they are trying to achieve and what they are trying to overcome. Basically, you need to understand both sides of the coin for your AUDIENCE.
👉 Find out what their vision is for themselves and also for their future.
👉 People have a natural resistance when investing in themselves so you need to figure out what their FEARS and HESITATIONS are
and WHY?

These are some basic steps you can take to better understand your IDEAL CLIENT and your AUDIENCE, but crucial step in setting up your business for long-term success!!
