Are you onboard? SHIP YOUR WORK!! š¢
Inspo, pushing on you (lovingly of course) and HELP IS HERE!
I asked Siri (as I SO often do with number questions) āhow many days are left in this quarter?ā š² Doing a bit of project planning before Spring gets hereā¦š·
She said in her typically know-it-all kinda rude voice āThe current quarterĀ ends onĀ 3/31/2024, there areĀ 33Ā days left in this quarter.ā
So then I of course went down the š š³ļø and learned that there areĀ 308Ā days left in this year. š¤© So much time to reach our goals and make things happen!
My next issue is ALL about goals. šÆ You need to SHIP those ideas!
Iām thinking about all of this as Iām putting the finishing touches on a presentation Iām doing for a group of incredible creators on Wednesday. Iām feeling extra excited as these are people whom I admire a great deal. (Check out āØ The Spark āØ by Kim Doyal.
This mastermind group Iām in is small, mighty and kool and they wanna know the best AND easiest AND quickest ways to do socials in 2024.
Lucky for me, I wrote a post about this on Medium on this subject. So, with a few tweaks towards them specifically, Iām ready to go.
I know you all want to know that, too.
š Lucky for all of us, we have an EXTRA day š on Thursday.
So get to it! #leapyear Fully JK, friends.
Ok, first, (especially if you are new here! and btw HEY, super glad youāre here, lemme know how I can help you! š š) read through these posts, theyāll help you RIGHT NOW with your social media marketingā¦ ā
āThe top section of my October post about telling your story (the updates are now as cold as this morningās coffee I didnāt finish).
āThis post about Googleās Generative AI and why you NEED to know it NOW.
ā If you are a YouTuber - skim through this.
ā° Nextā¦ what is your GOAL in your biz for Q2? You have 10 minutes on the clock, GO. Do NOT overthink thisā¦
are you selling something?
wanna grow your email list?
get more followers?
have more engagement?
make XXXX dollars?
get a few more posts/stories/reels up?
Letās go through these depending upon your goal.
Are you selling something - how are you helping your audience make their life easier or solving their issue?
Video length 30 seconds OR 59 seconds
FOCUS on that and TELL people clearly, ābuying X solves Xā
use current trend āread the captionā over an image/video (you make B Roll videos frequently, right?)
have ChatGPT or Canva help to make a video for you (it will need edits but still kool!)
film yourself, edit out the fluff, and then do the final edit INSIDE the app
if you have a YouTube channel repurpose to shorts
Wanna grow your email list - make signing up CLEAR, EASY, OFFER a freebie and I LOVE Substack for the recommendations. Your sign up should be all over the place on your website, your Medium stories, your bios.
āIMHO - I HATE pop ups on websites, they are so last week. š¬ Make it a part of your social post schedule and ask your loyal audience people to share your newsletter.ā
Get more followers & have more engagement?- 2X your typical post frequency and the most important thing? Use my 5X5 ideologyā¦ take 5 mins 5 times a week and comment on posts that have your audience in them. DO NOT SELL in those comments. Compliment, discuss, uplift. There are many weeks my post schedule goes OUT the window but ALL of my accounts continue to grow because Iām chatty in the comments. Plus itās fun and you meet cool people out there! Online networking straight from your couch, getting dressed up not required!
make XXXX dollars - this brings me to the title of this newsletterā¦ if youāre anything like me you have ideas, services, digital products just sitting around. Make them asap - put them on an easy-to-use site - talk about it AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK, TWICE IS BETTER, on your socials. Have a highlight on your IG that highlights products and services with links. Create a broadcast channel! Tell us why/how/what. Make sure your payment portal is EZ.
get a few more posts/stories/reels up - this one is easyā¦ grab my planner it is one of the best things I have created!
Here is a discount code for youā¦TBF25 gives you 25% off. Hereās the entire planner you need with ideas, tips and help for every. single. day. of the year.
P.S. I want you to notice I did NOT say to buy ads. ā Unless you have in the neighborhood of 3K-5K followers itās honestly not worth itā¦yet.
I know I shared a lot. Come back and reread and donāt hesitate to ask me questions in comments. Have a fab ending to Feb and Iāll be back next week with my goal-setting/project plan along with social updates! š¦
Leaping into March with you! š¤øāāļø
