It may be cringe to say but building my personal brand on LinkedIn truly changed my life!

Do you post on your personal LinkedIn?

28/07/2026

It’s been a while since I re-introduced myself on this page…

Hi, I’m Beth, the founder of Bonsai Socials. I am a Social Media Marketer and Strategist.

This business actually started in July 2022 when I got my first enquiry (from a client who was with me for 3 years!) through my personal brand on LinkedIn. At the time, I was working full-time, so I took this client on, thinking freelancing would just be something I do on the side (how wrong was I? 🤣)

I am based in Hampshire and have lived here my whole life, except when I went to university in Nottingham.

I have spent 5+ years in the marketing world, working both in-agency and in-house through my corporate career. One of those corporate roles was for a big local NHS trust (the NHS is the third largest organisation in the world, so I know a thing or two about managing social media accounts for big organisations).

My degree is in Fashion Communication and Promotion and is really where I found my love for social media.

My first job out of university was actually doing sales at a waste management company as I graduated during COVID. However, I actually think it was a great experience to work in sales and understand that department, as I am a big believer that marketing and sales should work together to see the best results.

I have built my personal LinkedIn to over 36,000.

When I’m not helping my clients with their socials or building this business, I love going to the gym, spending time with loved ones and being artistic (I have always been such a big art lover; I did art and graphics through most of my schooling life).

I am BIG on trying to constantly learn and improve so I can give my clients the very best experience and results.

Welcome to my new series ✨ what’s working on social media right now ✨

In this new series, I will break down what is working on social media right now, so you can implement these strategies into your social media and flourish!

(Because let’s face it, everything changes so quickly on social media, and it can be hard to keep up!)

In this episode, I wanted to talk about talking head videos.

These are booming on social media right now for a couple of reasons:

🎀 People buy from people; this type of content allows people to get to know the person/people behind the brand.
🎀 No one can copy them, not exactly. There is only one you in this world, which makes this content more unique.
🎀 (I haven’t heard anyone speak about this, but I think it’s a really important point.) It’s a content type that AI can’t replicate very well at the moment - watch the video to hear why I think this.

Also, watch the full video to hear my top tips for how to create 10/10 talking head videos.

Their busiest month yet in business. 5 new patients. More enquiries.

All from a social media presence that was built to do more than just show up online.

This client wanted content that reflected how good they really are, built trust with the right audience, and helped generate more bookings.

Safe to say that’s exactly what happened 👏

Struggling with hooks for your content?

Well, let’s start with the basics.

A hook is a sentence, video frame or image that has been engineered to grab attention and stop their scroll and is usually delivered in the first 3 seconds of a video. It’s like the teaser or appetizer for your content and aims to spark:

🎀 Emotion.
🎀 Curiosity.
🎀 Immediate interest.

Why do you need a hook?

To get people to stay and read/watch your piece of content. People are bombarded with so much content nowadays and if they aren’t hooked in, they will just scroll past.

So here are some hooks that have done just that for me and clients recently.

Have you tried any of these recently?

25/02/2026

If your content isn’t getting watched, it’s because of this 👇

This is the exact hook formula I used with a client that helped generate 235,000+ views.

The reason it worked so well is that we didn’t just rely on one type of hook; we used 3 together:

🎀 Visual hook: something fast, unexpected, or slightly shocking to stop the scroll
🎀 Verbal hook: a line that opens a curiosity gap (like “I can’t believe…”)
🎀 Written hook: a strong first line/on-screen text that makes people think

When you combine all 3, you give people multiple reasons to keep watching.

And honestly, in a world where attention spans are tiny, that makes a huge difference.

If you’re creating content for your business (or your clients), this is such a simple thing to improve but it can completely change performance.

Which one do you usually focus on most: visual, verbal, or written hooks? 💬

The brief: elevated, luxurious, premium.
The content delivered: elevated, luxurious, premium.

This is just some of the content we captured for a client who was looking to capture her new clinic.

From the lighting to the angles to the small details, every shot was intentional, designed to:

🎀 Instantly elevate brand perception
🎀 Create a high-end, boujie feel
🎀 Build trust before a client even books
🎀 Make the clinic feel like an experience, not just a service

Because in aesthetics, visuals matter.

People don’t just buy treatments: they buy the vibe, the professionalism, and the confidence your brand gives off.

High-quality imagery helps position your business exactly where it deserves to be:

✨ Premium
✨ Aspirational
✨ Unforgettable

Your content should make people want to book before they even click the link.

And if it doesn’t, send me a message and let’s chat about how I can help.
