Know what I love most about my business?

I’m able to work from home with my baby by my side, and I get to help others do the same.

Over 100 social media managers have joined The Social Biz System and that number continues to climb.

I am SO incredibly proud of these ladies and beyond honored to support them.

And despite what you may have heard, social media management IS a scalable service that can easily be delegated.

In other words, it’s a business that allows you take random days off “just because”.

A business that also brings in enough consistent revenue to let you have the kind of life you want.

And a business that is profitable sustainable in future priest for the long term — global pandemic or not.

Whether you are just starting your biz or looking to scale, I invite you into the social media management business that you’ve dreamed of.

What’s the *REAL* Role of a Social Media Manager?

Ready to set the record straight about what the role of an SMM really is (and what it’s not)? Want to find out if social media management is the path for you?

Let’s dive into the most common social media manager misconceptions...

And to my fellow social media managers...what’s the misconception about social media management that makes you roll your eyes the hardest? Gimme the scoop below👇

Spoiler alert: The online world is growing. Fast.   And the beauty of this digital evolution? The creation of so many incredible career paths that could have never existed before! Social medi…

Dear social media manager,

Raise your hand if you're...

- Tired of clients treating you like an employee, texting you at 10am on a Saturday, and offering “ideas” while totally disregarding your advice

- Just starting in your career and wondering, “Where do I even start?”

- Hitting a ceiling that you can’t seem to bust through in your current social media management business

Believe me—I’ve been there. Let me tell you a story…

I started doing social media management before it was “cool.”

About 6 years ago I was drowning in client work and charging way too little 🤦🏼‍♀️

I let people tell me what they wanted to pay me and attracted micro-manager clients that blew up my phone on the weekends and asked me questions like:

“Why are you posting at this time?”

“Why did you write the caption like this instead of that?”

“Why did you use this hashtag and not this one?”

& you know what—I didn’t have the confidence to set up boundaries and not get pushed around.

I let my lowest-paying clients rule my life because I wanted to be “nice” and “do a good job.”

It all came to a head when my husband looked me in my eyes and said:

“I need you to be present for our family. You can’t keep doing this if you’re glued to your phone.”

& I couldn’t say he was wrong.

I realized that if I wanted to do what I love, have a flexible lifestyle, and be there for my family...something needed to change.

And oh boy, did I make some changes—and I’m here to help you do the same! 🙌

I created The Social Biz System because I’ve been in your shoes.

The Social Biz System is my baby—I’ve poured my heart and soul into this four-week program ❤️

And whether you’re starting or scaling your business, you’re going to walk away knowing how to market your business, run it efficiently with uncomplicated systems, and gain clarity on how to get and retain clients.
..and—most important—unshakable CEO confidence.

See you inside!!!

Things 2020 proved to us:

1) Your voice is needed.

2) It's good to do things that scare you.

3) Tough situations aren't a reason to give up...they're a chance to do better.

The grief, uncertainty, and pain of this year would have made it so easy to give up…but you didn’t.

And I want you to take a moment to simply celebrate that AND celebrate all the wins you had this past year.

I have to pinch myself as I look back because...

2020 will officially be the year I launched my first course & watched in awe as it earned 30k in revenue.

The year I opened a Mastermind that is full of dream clients who light me UP & are doing incredible things.

The year I hired on new team members so my social media agency could truly become what it was meant to be.

And the year I got to see the little membership (Social Squad Society) I co-founded a year and a half ago grow in ways we never EVER imagined.

I forget what my word of 2020 was (oops), but I know what it would be now...clarity.

And it’s because 2020 did make my vision so incredibly clear...and I hope the same for you.

Keep doing things that scare you. Keep pushing yourself to do better. And whatever you do, don’t give up.

38 and feeling great(ful) 🎉💞🥰

🤰 Grateful for the baby in my tummy that we didn't think was possible

🏡 Grateful for the home we are building that for years felt like something we would only get to dream about

👩‍💻 Grateful to have a business that is growing in ways I never imagined & allows me to help others build the businesses of their dreams 

❤️ Grateful for life and for the family and friends I get to share it with. And that includes YOU.

Thank you for joining in on the fun, for trusting in me, and for being along for this wild and exciting ride.

Growing a business isn't easy, and my hope is that by showing up here daily I can help you get a step closer to where you want to be.

Because if you had told me even last year all the amazing things that were ahead I would have laughed and choked on my oat milk latte.

So please know that prayers and hard work pay off 🙌 They really really do.

And since I can't have my usual dirty martini (ok let’s be real...2-3 dirty martinis 🍸) on my birthday, I hope you can take a moment to toast yourself today because this journey ain't easy but man is it worth it.

Ok...time to waddle back to the couch for some cake 🎂 Love you, friend. And don't forget to keep going.

How To Step Up Your Hashtag Game On Instagram

THIS is what's missing in your hashtag strategy...

Want to bring more traffic to your posts & build a community around your brand? Then it's time to make your hashtag game strong.

My business WOULD NOT be where it is today without hashtags. Period.

And to help you out, I created this 4 minute training to show you how to drastically increase exposure on Instagram by using hashtags people actively follow. But there are some tricks to it so be sure to watch and let me know how it goes!

10/20/2020

Struggling to grow your account? It’s time to ‘Gram in someone else's shoes…

When creating an Instagram marketing strategy we cannot forget THIS 👇

People tend to go to Instagram to escape for a moment, AND we’re typically we’re doing one or two (or three) other things while scrolling.

So when someone comes across your content they could be:

a) Killing time while waiting in line at Target 🎯 (hi, it me)

b) Sitting at a red light until someone honks 🚘 (also guilty)

c) Watching TV after a long, stressful day 📺 (Bravo, anyone?!)

And because our audience is often distracted, keep this in mind 👇

If you want to boost engagement & bring in more sales, you need to make things EASY for your audience.

Here are 3 ways to do it:

1. MAKE CONTENT EASY TO READ 👀 Your captions need to be skimmable, so be sure to break them up with plenty of white space between paragraphs (good news, IG no longer messes up your line breaks so break it up & post away). And be sure to keep your captions conversational & easy to read because, well, we don’t want to think too hard. So avoid fancy jargon & talk like a human.

2. MAKE IT EASY TO ENGAGE 🗯 Keep your CTA simple! This is a gaaaaame changer. If the call to action at the end of your post is going to make people think too hard about how to comment, you’re going to get less engagement. So instead of asking a question that makes your audience feel like they have to comment something profound, keep it simple! For example, ask a “this or that” question (Ex: Are you team ____ or _____) OR ask them to drop an emoji if they agree with your post.

3. MAKE IT EASY TO WORK WITH YOU/BUY FROM YOU 💰 This is a big one...ready? Don’t make people leave the app to work with you! Luckily, IG offers so many ways to do this. Provide a service? Add a “Book” button to your bio! Ecommerce business? Set up your Instagram shop! And since building relationships is key, simply ask them to DM you to get started!

Now, just for fun, going back to what your audience is typically doing when scrolling, what would you add in as Option D?! I have a feeling I know what most of you will say 🤣

10/07/2020

It’s time to face the music (or lack thereof) with a little Instagram pep talk 📣

I know there’s a lot of frustration around drops in engagement, music features disappearing, & more 😬 But here’s the deal...

Instagram is not the bad guy and we have got to stop blaming the algorithm 🛑

This app is constantly changing and evolving...

And when you combine the fact that there are over a BILLION users (+ more people joining daily) AND a new layout being rolled out with even more features & places for us to navigate, of course we’ll feel some changes.

But guess what? The basics of Instagram haven’t changed a bit ❤️

Instagram wants us to build relationships, show up authentically, and share content consistently.

And because Instagram favors accounts with an engaged audience, the magic will ALWAYS be in the community you build 💫

So...no music? No animated fonts? No problem 💃

Instagram is STILL an amazing tool that allows us to get in front of ideal clients & grow our businesses like crazy…

And it’s time to stop focusing on what’s frustrating us & simply get back to basics, get creative, & have some dang fun 💞

To help, here’s my challenge to you:

👉 Find out what content your audience wants from you by polling them & using Insights to see what posts have performed well in the past

👉 Post to your feed 3 times a week (this includes Reels, IGTVs, images, etc)

👉 Show up on Stories DAILY (do a minimum of 3 but aim for 10)

👉 Engage intentionally for at least 30 minutes a day (10 mins with your Feed, 10 mins with Stories, & 10 mins with hashtags your ideal client uses)

Friend...I know Instagram can feel like a beast sometimes & it’s easy to get overwhelmed but hear me out…

You don’t need music, killer dance moves, or millions of followers to succeed on this app!

What you need is community, consistency, & authenticity ✨

So don’t let anything stop you.

Feeling stuck? Emily and I are hosting a FREE No Fluff Instagram Masterclass next week! 👉 https://www.socialsquadsociety.com/courses/nofluff

Drop a 🙌 below if you’re ready to stop picking fights with the algorithm & ready to focus on serving your audience & building an amazing community.

You’ve got this.

THIS is why you’re in an Instagram funk…(and 5 ways to snap out of it) 👇

What’s an Instagram Funk you ask? Well here is the official definition (aka one I just pulled out of my iced oat milk latte) ☕️🤷‍♀️

Instagram Funk 😩 Adjective: feeling frustration & discouragement while scrolling Instagram which leads to creativity blocks (and pity parties of one).

Thing is, these funks will happen from time to time...know why?

Because you’re human ❤️

AND I’m on a mission to help you identify what’s causing them AND pull you out of it:

1️⃣) Put your dang phone down 📲

Social media breaks are good for the soul, so start scheduling in non-phone hours throughout your day. (Bonus Tip: Create content during that uninterrupted time.)

2️⃣) Find a cheering squad and/or accountability buddy 🎉

Being a part of a community (big or small) who is in your corner and understands your journey is so important. From mentors to masterminds to friends in your niche, find people to lean on.

3️⃣) Remind yourself how far you’ve come 🙌

Ever look back in your Instagram feed to see the progress you’ve made? Do it now for a little confidence boost. Also, I recently had a VIP Day with the amazing and she encouraged me to create a Win Wall & I want to encourage you to do the same! So go grab some post it notes & a sharpie and write down allllll the wins you can think of and throw them on a wall so you remember just how much you’ve accomplished.

4️⃣) Start looking at the big picture 👀

The BEST news about all of this? Every time I find myself in an IG funk something crazy amazing always happens afterward which proves a small funk won’t ruin everything you started. So if you find yourself feeling defeated, keep going because the best is yet to come.

5️⃣) Always know that NO ONE IS YOU ❤️

Your background, your experience, your voice, your personality, and your HEART are unlike anyone else out there who does that you do. So keep showing up no matter what.

Have you found yourself in an Instagram Funk lately? What has helped you snap out of it? 💞

It’s all of it (especially the “hey girl” messages) for me 🙄⁣
⁣
Now before we dive in, YOU are my people & on Instagram for the right reasons (will you accept this rose 🌹) & I would put MONEY on it that you have experienced at least 2 of the above.⁣
⁣
These tactics remind me how quickly many people have forgotten the point of Instagram.⁣
⁣
People are on IG to connect, be entertained, be inspired...and let us not forget...to have FUN 🎉⁣
⁣
And there is nothing fun about the 3 mistakes above.⁣
⁣
So let’s break them down & offer some solutions to those who continue to do this mess, shall we?⁣
⁣
✋ Stop with the “hey girl” messages I BEG YOU⁣
⁣
This is easy to solve...instead of sliding into DMs with a pitch from out of the freaking blue, find a connection point & start a conversation that has NOTHING to do with business. We’re not dollar signs...we are human beings & we deserve to be treated as such.⁣
⁣
✋ Stop using other people’s ideas, strategies, & content as your own without shouting them out (Point. Blank. Period.)⁣
⁣
There is a huge difference between being inspired & copying/stealing from others. While you don’t have to credit every single thing you’ve learned, sharing a specific strategy or an image created by someone else without crediting them isn’t just frowned upon...it’s unethical 👎 I have built much of my business by crediting people, & as says, crediting someone doesn’t make you look like you don’t know what you’re doing. It’s quite the opposite. This app is ALL about community & collaboration, so cite your source!⁣
⁣
✋ Stop following someone & unfollowing as soon as they follow back:⁣
⁣
I’ll leave this one short & sweet. This tactic is old & tired. Just stop it. K? K. ⁣
⁣
Friends...I’m living proof you can grow a successful & profitable business through social media without doing any of these messy tactics.⁣
⁣
Just always remember why your audience is here & think of ways you can serve them & bond with them.⁣
⁣
Which of the above are you sick of the most? And let’s get all the way real (because that’s how we roll around here)...have a story to share? Tell us below👇

Raise your hand if you want to be able to set your “Automatic Reply” to ON and take a vacation whenever you want...💻👋🍹⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
If you’re anything like me you started (or want to start) your biz because you want to make an impact on people’s lives while also having the freedom to put the phone down and shut the laptop so you can hang out with family and friends and do whatever you want 💞⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
You want a business that leaves you feeling invigorated, not exhausted.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
One that is profitable, sustainable, & future-proofed for the long term.⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Well...over the past 5 years I’ve seen first hand the difference between a SMM business that has real systems and strategies in place...and one that’s cobbled together with no real plan other than “get clients & do the work”.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
It took me more than a hot minute to get here, and that’s why it was so important for me to create an affordable online course for SMMs who feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and underpaid.⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
My brand new course, The Profitable Social Media Manager, isn’t just business to me...it’s personal.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Imagine this – in just 4 weeks, you can transform your current SMM business into the biz you WANT to have.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
This course is for any SMM – whether you’re brand new or already established – who is ambitious, purpose-driven and ready to learn how to run their business on their own terms ❤️⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
If you’re just getting started, then you’ll learn how to avoid the struggles, challenges & time it took me to get my business to the place where it is profitable & enjoyable.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
If you’re established, you’ll learn how to tighten up your business, work through stuck points, & actually grow your SMM biz (to the point where you’re outsourcing & hiring team members).⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
And friend...I get that you are busy with work, life, & everything in between. That’s why I’ve structured this program so you’ll see results by dedicating just 30 minutes a day ⏰⁣⁣

75 Things White People Can Do for Racial Justice

This is a heavy time.

And with all the noise out there, I wanted to share a quick note to help you understand what today means, what you can do as a business owner, and advice on what not to do as well.

First, what does mean? It was started by two black female executives in the recording industry.

Businesses are encouraged to push pause and focus on taking action to spark real change in the fight against racial injustice.

Here's what I have learned so far about how you can participate in a genuine way:

1) If you do post today, be careful about what hashtags you use. Activists are asking people not to use Black Lives Matter hashtags so useful info doesn't get lost.

2) Read, listen, and learn. And don't be scared to use your voice if you are sharing resources to help others.

3) Share and support black business owners by donating, purchasing, or simply sharing their account to your followers.

And if you're looking for additional ways to step up and help, this article is amazing.

While it's hard to find the words, it is important to use this time to take action.

Thank you for reading. I'm here for you.

**Note this article is continually updated to ensure each item is accurate and needed today.**

Let’s talk about it...⁣⁣
⁣⁣
As a mom, it’s my job to worry...⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I worry about my daughter falling and skinning her knee...and I worry about her having too much screen time these days...things like that.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But you know what many of my friends worry about? ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Their sons and husbands going on a jog and being hunted down....⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Getting pulled over and getting shot because they reached for their wallet...⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Dying from an officer’s knee in their neck...⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And having the cops called on them for sitting on a park bench...⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Now...if you don’t have these worries for yourself or your children, that is white privilege.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And if you don’t have these worries, it means being silent is not an option and having conversations is a must.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The news is always tough to watch, and right now it’s unbearable.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Dear friends of mine are crying in pain, and I realize I’ve not done enough in the past to help them.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So...let’s get uncomfortable.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Let’s have the conversations, educate ourselves, speak up, and take risks.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And let’s continue to do so, because a single IG post and one kind comment and having black friends is not enough.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Reach out to POC on Instagram.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Read and share their posts ❤️ Listen to their stories and learn from them.
⁣
Take action, and be an ally...⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Support and invest in black businesses and bloggers ❤️ ⁣
⁣⁣
And to the parents out there, it is NEVER too early to discuss racism with your children and there are so many books out there to help. Brave Ballerina & Little Leaders are a couple of my favorites.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Black people are hurting, they are tired, and they are weeping.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
WE have failed them.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So enough is enough. Period.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
How are you taking action today?
