Alright so 2019 is coming to an end and I’m sure many of you are already plotting and planning for 2020. . Are you brainstorming ways to boost your social media presence, content, and engagement❓BECAUSE I AM‼️ . Here are a few tips & tricks to help you gain more views, followers, engagement and clicks. . 1. Use IG Stories to story tell, share personal insights, and to crowdsource from your audience. Use questions and polls in your stories to learn more about your audience interests and then GIVE THEM MORE of what they like! . . 2. Make a client testimonial highlight and feature happy client results in your stories. Let your current customers do the selling for you! Then create a testimonials highlight and drop all content in there so that it lives on your page! You can check out mine for inspo 😉. . . 3. Don’t have 10k followers yet? No worries. Use a tool like @linktr.ee to work around the fact that IG only allows one link in you bio. Use @linktr.ee to drive your audience to your best content, press, website, or to book a call with you! . . 4. Driving traffic is HARD - this is where collabs are key. Work with fellow bloggers, podcasters, & influencers to expand into new audiences. You can try running giveaways, story shout outs, LIVE interviews, IG takeovers, etc! . . 5. Last but not least - try going live once a week at the same time every week. Share something of value, a learning lesson, quick tip, or tease to a bigger piece of content. It’s all about audience engagement! . . ***Are these tips helpful? What are you doing now on IG that is creating positive results? ⤵️⤵️⤵️ . . . #socialmediamarketing #smallbusiness #personalbranding #millennialmarketing #marketingcoach

𝒮𝓉𝑜𝓇𝓎𝓉𝑒𝓁𝓁𝒾𝓃𝑔 is contagious, which is why crafting your brand story is an essential element when crafting your Personal Brand and building an online community. . Your story is going to be the touch point that resonates with your ideal follower/customer! . So where to begin when creating our Brand Story? It all starts with the 𝟑 𝐂’𝐬. . 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙧 : If you are your business YOU are the character. Introduce who you are and set the foundation for where you were or what you were doing before the major event that sparked the creation of your business or path.. . 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙩: This is where you’ll need to get vulnerable. This conflict should be one that your target customer/follower can relate to. (Think of their pain points & needs) This conflict should be the breakdown that led to your breakthrough moment.. . 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣: The goal here is to share what you learned from the conflict struggle, how you solved the problem, and how you are now equipped to help others achieve positive results! This is where you share how you are the solution to their needs.. . After hearing your brand story your potential customer should have a clear understanding of who you are, what you have overcome, what your current mission is, and what makes you credible.

Don’t fight the fear of evolving into who you 𝓦𝓪𝓷𝓽 to be vs who you think you 𝓢𝓱𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓭 be...Easier said than done right?. . I’m personally working through these thoughts and feelings as I reflect on this past year and start to think about 2020.. . It’s somewhat uncomfortable and intimidating to think about what we truly want. Why? Because sometimes (maybe most of the time) we don’t have the answer.. . But, if we never quiet the mind, step outside our comfort zone, try something new, or listen to our intuition we may never evolve into the person we truly want to be.. .

PROUD daughter and niece moment✨✨ . For the past few months my Mom @cindikrost1011 and Aunt @amywaxman have been working on creating a Facebook Live show (gotta love those ladies) and of course they have been coming to me for some help! I’ve shared a lot of advice, ideas, and words of wisdom with them, but I ran across a saying that is really so true! ⤵️ . “Social Media is more about Sociology and Psychology than it is about Technology.” . This statement is so on point because your audience wants to build an authentic connection with YOU, not your technology. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the world of tech and trying to make sure that we have the greatest gadgets. And yes it’s great to have quality tech and a fancy camera, but that’s not what is going to build your online community and influence. What will is your content, your valuable insights, your authenticity, personality, and consistency!.. . Ultimately, don’t let your age, tedious details, striving for perfection, or fear of rejection stop you from JUST GETTING STARTED. We all have to start somewhere when launching a new project or business. Every day is an opportunity day to take action, move forward, and get that much closer to meeting your goal. . So proud of these 2 for stepping out of their comfort zone and launching SisterTalk Live! Last nights Premiere was fabulous, congratulations! 🍾🥂🎉 . . Ps...Gigi🐶 is your new biggest fan! (Swipe ➡️)

I am learning to live and find the balance between hustle and surrender. I do my best and manifest what I want, but I do not resist the direction of the wind.💨The more we hold on the less space we create for new opportunities to flourish. 🦋🦋🦋 . . Is it hard for you to surrender to the unknown? What about the unknown creates the most fear for you? ✨ . . . #surrender #manifest #mindset #entrepreneurship #quotestoliveby #wednesdaywisdom #millennialtalk #worklifebalance #csweet
