When you're running a business, it can be challenging to post consistently. I've even dealt with that at times and I'm social media manager!

Here are the things I do that make it a lot easier:

1. I create and schedule a lot of my content ahead of time - regular feed posts and some stories. I use Sendible for that, so feel free to ask any questions about using a scheduling tool.

2. I have a 5 step system that I use for content creation (it's the same exact one I use for my clients). I created a resource with those exact steps that many business owners have found helpful. Let me know if you'd like a copy.

3. I keep my content plan realistic. I am showing up where I want and how I want, just in a doable way. The Social Growth Game Plan can help you do the same.

4. To save time on creating videos and images, I have a resource of prerecorded clips and graphics templates. If you're interested in that time saver, then ask me about The Social Growth Playbook.

Ok...so I know I just dropped like 4 different things on you, but they are all super useful, so ask about any/all in the comments or DM me.

I'll be truthful about this. I spend a lot of time on my phone and computer, but mostly on my phone. Between personal use, my social media management business and other income streams, I often have my phone in my hand.

You can take advantage of this and have a social media coach that you can access anytime you have a question, want your content reviewed, want feedback, etc. I am now opening up the opportunity for you to get those questions answered by me, without you spending hours researching, wondering if you should DM me etc.

I now have Voxer support available. For those who don't know, Voxer is a messaging app for quick text messages and voice notes. It's kind of like a walkie talkie for your phone. I chose to use Voxer instead of messenger or DM's for this to ensure that your messages don't get buried in my inbox.

Now's your chance to have a social media coach in your phone (or computer) to give you direction and make it easier for you to manage your own social media without spending time questioning/researching

I have 2 options available - group support for $47 a month (great for quick questions and/or those who don't mind seeing questions from others as well) and one to one support for $147 a month (perfect for more regular questions and/or those who want to have their own channel to access me).

Who's interested? Let me know and I'll get you the sign up info!

Have you heard that likes are a vanity metric?

While that is true, they can be an effective part of your engagement strategy.

If you're short on time, likes are a way to let people know you acknowledge their content. Don't underestimate this. People often pay attention to who likes their posts/comments. That attention can help develop connections with your audience.

Likes are a way to help bring more attention to your content. If you comment/reply to comments during one engagement time and then like those same comments/replies another time, it shows up 2 different times in someone's notifications. That brings you more attention.

That said, ultimately meaningful comments are best for helping you build relationships and make connections for your business. Do you feel like you barely have time to scan through social media and like a few things? Then it's time to rework your social media plan so you have time for consistent, meaningful engagement. Could you use some help with this? DM me to get started with your personalized social media plan.

I'm going to share something personal with you because I know many of you have been in the situation of having extra busy times and having to make some adjustments in your business (and other aspects of life) to accommodate things.

After 3 weeks of my son's (he has severe autism) summer break, I'm finally getting back to some sort of routine today since he starts summer school. I have about 5 hours a day, Monday - Thursday, for the next 4 weeks to be productive.

While I do have some extra things I plan to work on, I am not adding a lot more to my plate when it comes to my social media plan for my business. There are a few reasons for this. The main one is that his "break" is not really all that long and I will have him home for nearly a month after this before the regular school year starts for him. It doesn't make sense to add a lot more to my regular task list when my time will be limited again in another month. The other thing is that I need to use this time to recoup a little from caring for him round the clock over the past week and 2 weeks before that (he did go to overnight respite camp for almost a week). If I take care of myself, then I can keep my business going, along with various household tasks.

What am I adding? I am going to use this time to create videos and images for some of my income streams. That's one thing I haven't been able to get to as much as I wanted with my son home. Other than that, it will be business as usual with content creation for my social media business and serving my clients.

Have you had to make changes this summer? How productive are you being? Are you allowing time for rest? Let's talk about it in the comments.

Does posting on social media for your business have you asking any of these questions?
How often should I post? Where should I post? What should I post?

I cover all of this and more in The Social Growth Game Plan. There is no one right answer and what I recommend for one person might be totally different than what I recommend for someone else. I formulate your plan with a lot of input from you about your time and energy, your likes and dislikes, etc.

Are you ready for a personalized, doable plan that will help you grow on social media? DM me to learn more! I have 5 spots open for July at just $297.

Maybe you have a plan that works for you, but have content questions you'd like just a little help with, a quick content review, a reels question etc. That's why I'm offering social media support via Voxer (a messaging app). I have options available for one to one support ($147 per month) or group support ($47 per month).

If you're ready to give your social media a boost, DM me to let me know which service you're thinking about.

Not sure if you remember, but a couple of weeks ago, I talked about something I was trying with Reels, specifically with posting them multiple times a day. I told you I'd fill you in eventually. Well, I'm ready (mostly lol).

The initial reason why I was posting 3 Reels a day was for another income stream of mine (if you're curious, DM me). For several reasons, I ended up moving that over to TikTok, but I did learn a few things from this experiment:

1. I can post multiple times a day, but, for this business, it's not that sustainable. So, I'm going to once a day (it was 4 times per week for several months).

2. Batching is my friend, both in terms of filming, editing and captioning. It's so much easier to get each Reel out there when it's ready to go.

3. I don't always need to spend time engaging before and after I post each Reel. I still get similar reach and engagement whether I do or not.

4. Having some prerecorded video clips is super helpful so that there are fewer to film and so I don't need to show my face on all of them. Plus, for the few times that I did create Reels on the fly, it made things a lot easier.

So...if you're looking to make Reels easier by saving filming time or looking to make Reels that don't show your face, I encourage you to check out The Social Growth Playbook, which has over 8000 prerecorded video clips. All you have to do is add some on screen text and a caption. While this could easily go for at least $297, I want my audience to have access to this super helpful resource (it also has thousands of social media graphics templates), so I'm offering it for just $27.99.

Being outside is good for you, especially on social media, yet a lot of business owners don't think about outside engagement.

Sure, most of us are good about replying to comments on our own content. That's engagement 101. But a lot of business owners don't realize the key to growth is engaging outside of their content.

If you're on Facebook, engage with your followers on their content and engage in Facebook Groups with your target audience. On Instagram, engage with your followers' content and engage on content that uses your target hashtags.

There are so many places to engage and only so much time in a day. My suggestion is to first nurture your own audience and then, with the rest of the time you have allotted for engagement, pick a few other places to engage with some content.

Not sure how you can fit in one more thing on social media? Then maybe it's time to rework what you're doing to make time for this so you can grow on social media. That's where The Social Growth Game Plan comes in. I create a personalized social media plan for you, with input from you. I also provide one to one support while you're implementing that plan. Want more info? DM me the word PLAN for all the details and to snag one of the 5 spots I have open for July.

You start using social media for your business. You follow some experts. You start following their advice. It works great and you can keep up...until you can't. Or...maybe you start following some experts and are just overwhelmed because there's no way you can keep up with what they recommend.

If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. This is something I hear from a lot of business owners, whether they're just starting out on social media or they want to be more consistent. This happens because a lot of expert advice just doesn't work for their life.

That's why I created The Social Growth Game Plan. I get input from you on all the things - goals, time, energy, likes and dislikes. I use that input to create a personalized social media plan to help you grow in a way that works for you. That, alone, is a value at just $297.

Since I want to see you grow, I've added a couple of bonuses. You get a month of one to one Voxer support ($147 on its own) to ask me questions about your plan, get feedback on content, and ask any other social media questions that come up as you implement your plan. You also get a copy of The Social Growth Playbook (currently offered for $27.99) to help you with content creation. It has thousands of prerecorded video clips you can use, as well as thousands of social media graphics templates.

If you're ready to sign up or just want to know more, comment PLAN below and I'll help you out!

Happy Social Media Day!

If you're reading this, I am going to say (and I'm guessing I'm right) that you use social media for your business and/or are considering doing so.

I have found social media to be a great way to make more connections and get more exposure for my business. On the personal side, I think it's great for staying connected to friends and family.

What social media platforms do you use for your business? Which ones do you like for personal use?

I cover all of this and more in The Social Growth Game Plan. There is no one right answer and what I recommend for one person might be totally different than what I recommend for someone else.

Are you posting Stories? Do you scroll through them?

Like it or not, Stories are an important feature, especially on Instagram. A lot of IG users spend more time in their Stories feed than their regular feed, so you should make it a point to post there regularly.

Is it challenging to find the time to do one more thing on IG/social media? Then it may be time to rethink your plan. The Social Growth Game Plan does just that - you get a personalized plan and one to one support. DM me PLAN for more info.

Just want a little help creating the stories? The Social Growth Playbook has stories templates you can use to save time! DM me to learn how to get your copy.
