When you're thinking about outsourcing your social media, you might feel unsure about trusting someone else to handle it. I get it. It's a kind of a big deal. That's why I wanted to share something one of my clients said about me the other day. For context, this came up in a group chat I'm in where I was sharing about starting work with one of the members. One of the other members (a current client) had this to say about working with me.

So...if you're thinking it might be time to outsource some or all of your social media, let's chat! DM me to learn more about working with together.

This message might be for you if you're struggling with social media overwhelm.

You can transform from feeling burned out and overwhelmed to growing your business on social media in a way that works for you.

I know it's possible because it happened to me. I burned out on my own social media a couple years ago. I stopped showing up the way I wanted to.

I know the power of using social media to grow, so wanted to turn things around. I thought about where and how I wanted to show up on social media. I thought about how much time and energy I realistically have for my own social media (without spending all of my spare time on it). Then I came up with a plan to make it happen.

If you're not sure how to make the most of the time and energy you have for social media, let's talk about how I can help with a personalized social media plan. Comment or DM PLAN for more info.

🤯 Listening to all of the social media advice can be so overwhelming that you either don't want to start or you burn out. When you sort out what is doable for you, sustainable and flexible, then you create long term growth.

🤔 What am I even talking about? So, while the text in the Reel can be about so many things in life and business, I'm going to focus on social media.

🤯 If you're trying to be in all the places, doing all of the things, all of the time, it often leads to burnout. Even if you can initially manage that, it's rarely sustainable on your typical days. And when life gets extra busy? Forget it!

💪🏼I believe social media growth comes from what you can do on a consistent basis. That belief is behind The Social Growth Game Plan. I create a personalized social media plan based on your goals, time, energy, likes and dislikes.

Let's talk about something that might make you a little uncomfortable.

Social media won't do much for growing your business if you don't talk about your offers and services. This was a lesson I had to learn early on in my business. I spent most of my time posting valuable content and rarely mentioned my services.

Did some other business owners come to know/like/trust me and hire me? Sure, but most of my clients came from referrals or from me replying to a post where someone was looking for a social media manager.

While there's nothing wrong with that approach per se, I was also missing a lot of opportunities for growing my business by talking about my services. I hated coming off as sales-y, but by not talking about my business, I was losing potential business. It can be a fine line, but you need to tell people about your offers if you want them to work with you.

If you're not sure how to word things when you're creating content, you're not alone. That's part of why I offer messaging support services. You can run ideas past me, get feedback on your content and more. I have options for group or one to one support. Comment or DM SUPPORT to learn more.

Engagement is such an important part of social media, yet it's one that often gets overlooked in favor of content, so I'm talking about it twice this week.

A lot of business owners find engagement challenging for various reasons. During my social media mastermind/brainstorming call last week (this is now a monthly event, let me know if you want info on how to join), I heard some reasons that I've definitely heard before.

"I get so distracted and lost in the scroll."

"I find it overwhelming and don't know where it makes sense to comment."

Let's address these things.

If you get distracted, it helps to be intentional. Plan to go into a certain number of FB Groups and spend a specific number of minutes in each group (say 5 minutes per group). Using the Forums app helps with this. On IG, plan to comment on a certain number of posts that use keywords or hashtags that you also use (the search bar can help you find these posts).

If you feel like you don't see many opportunities to comment about your services, I want you to rethink your engagement strategy a little bit. While it's always great to comment about your business when appropriate, engagement can also be about offering support and thoughtful comments. If what you have to say resonates, you never know when someone will check out your profile to learn more about you and your business.

If you're not sure where you should be engaging and how often you should spend given limited time and energy, The Social Growth Game Plan can help. It's a personalized social media plan that guides you toward the actions that will help you grow on social media in a way that works for you. You'll have a plan that provides the right balance of content and engagement for you, at this point in your journey. Comment or DM PLAN to learn more.
