1. How to start on Social Media

<p>It's hard to start posting on social media for your business. <br> When you're starting out, there are 4 main roadblocks:</p> <ol> <li>Staying motivated when you have no audience</li> <li>Feeling intimidator by competitors and "better pages"</li> <li>Not knowing what to post</li> <li>Not having the time</li> </ol> <p>1. What's the best way to start on social when you have no audience? <br> When you create your profile, make 15-25 posts to publish right away. <br> <br> This gives your audience something to follow.&nbsp;<br> By making a foundation of posts, you're letting people know what to expect from you.</p> <p>2. Have you ever felt envious of other social media pages? Their better photos or bigger audeince?<br> <br> "Better" pages are further along in their journey so don't get trapped into comparing yourself with them. Your audience will grow with time (and consistent content) so use popular pages as inspiration and nothing more.&nbsp;</p> <p>3. Is thinking up post ideas getting overwhelming? Our Goal is to keep this as stress-free as possible. Think of the messages you'd like to share with your audience, what do they want to know? If you're clear on who your audience is and what you want to say to them - That's what you post online.</p> <p>4. No Time? We can't change how many hours are in a day but we can change our priorities. If posting on social media is important to you, there might be other areas that need to give. <br> <br> Alternatively, check your process. You might be able to time-block some brainstorm sessions to save you time in the long run.</p> <p><br></p> <p>If you liked this podcast, give it a review.
