Never fear! We’ve got a quick recap on everything you missed below!

Here are the main takeaways from Cyndi’s Brunch & Learn:

Nearly everyone is on some sort of social media, but not everyone utilizes it to its full potential. It’s a free marketing platform to take advantage of and we want to help you utilize it to the fullest!

Here are Cyndi’s tips to make the most of your social media:

1. Evaluate and Update your Bio

Your bio on your social media platforms is KEY to letting potential clients know what it is you do and how you can help them. Have a call to action in your bio so people know how to contact you or purchase your product. Utilize Instagram highlights to showcase your work, your clients, what you do, and who you are.

2. Prepare and Plan

Having a plan that involves when and what you will post is key to keeping your social media fresh and consistent. Plan out your entire month ahead of time, create themes for your content calendar, and be intentional with it. Provide information that is valuable and view yourself as a person of resource to your audience.

3. Decide What’s Best to Post

Post information that is of value to your audience. Don’t be strictly about sales all the time. Sharing insight to your home life or a behind the scenes look of your workday allows your audience to get a feel of who you are, and connect with you on a deeper level. Post information that they may not know or can share with their audiences as well. Ask yourself, why should they choose you?

4. Create Call to Action

It’s important to always add a call to action to your posts to prompt readers to take action on your website (contact you, apply for a loan, follow your page, etc.) to increase engagement and your conversion rate. If you were speaking to a customer or business partner, you wouldn’t end the conversation without directing them on what to do next. Social media is no different.

5. Utilize Hashtags

Use relevant hashtags in your posts and don’t make them extremely long. Rotate them out. Don’t always use what is most popular- your posts could get drowned if there are too many and people will never see them. Make sure they are specific to you, your post & your business.

6. Utilize Timing

The best time to post is always changing but one thing that remains the same is consistency. Be present on social media often so that you are top of mind. See what time of the day gets you the most engagement and try posting at that time moving forward.
