So I wanted to hop in and say 'hi', 'hey', 'what's up', and how's it going? I’m a huge Robin Williams fan and couldn’t help but get inspired by his wacky characters, voices, and randomness.

As is often too common with me, I neglected my page. And when it really hits me how long it’s been, I'm like crap..... I should be doing more.

There are probably other business owners out there who struggle like me to keep up with our social pages.

I'm not a serial poster personally and since I work on social media for my clients, I don't tend to spend a lot of time on it in my downtime. And to get even more personal, because that's just how I'm feeling today, I sometimes struggle with ADHD and anxiety.

That's where I've been, working on my brain, motivation, and the huge struggle of work and home life balance.

I love the work that I do and that's where my focus tends to stay. I work on everything for my clients and I don’t make the time to post content to my business and give out good info to business owners who could really use it.

My clients and those deadlines drive me every day and then when I'm like, Oh, I should post about this..... It gets lost because I'm done and ready to take a break. The obligations of family life never end either.

If you’ve gotten this far, thanks. I have a million things that I would love to post about and damn it, I better get to it.

There’s much to come. Have a great day of random crazy moments and get in a little laughter.

And feel free to say hi. If you have a question about your business online, I would love to hear it and will get back to you.

Likes or Followers, which is better to have? What’s the difference between them?

You may have heard people say that they are the same and in reality, they are not. Understanding the difference between them can affect your Facebook marketing.

page likes are when someone likes your page, simple right. They support your page and want to see more content from you.

page followers are for people who will receive page updates in their feed organically. This is key!

When people like your page there are automatically made followers. If at any point someone wants to receive less information about your page they can unfollow the page, but still like it and they will stop receiving any updates on their news feed.

Not ideal if you are a business.

So if every person that likes is marked as following, what about visa versa. Well, you can follow a page and not like the page.

But which one matters most?

Page followers matter the most in the long run because these are the people who want to see your posts and updates organically in their feed.

If you are looking at your page and you have more page likes than followers, people who have liked your page are choosing to not follow your content. Your page content may not be connecting with your page audience. This means you might have targeted the wrong audience and need to make some adjustments.

These adjustments can improve your marketing efforts and get your content in front of your ideal audience so that eventually, those followers turn into customers.

Book a call with us today to get help with creating your next Facebook or Instagram likes campaign so that you are finding your best target audience.

As a business owner you wear a lot of hats. But at the end of the day are you also sending email requests to get reviews?

This is not a glamorous part of the job. Google is the number one search engine and that means more than 60% of people are checking out your business before they buy your service or product.

Here’s what else getting reviews does:

- Raise your business profile online because it makes people more likely to visit your page.
- Raise your SEO.
- Get you some good feedback about your business and how they are doing.
- Brand trust
- Creditability
- Relevance
- Increased rankings

Psst…if you aren’t responding to every, I mean every, review….you need to get started doing that ASAP. Your response is just as important as getting the review.

It really seemed like Instagram turned into TikTok, but it appears that they are heading back to their roots. It will be interesting to see how this plays out as so many videos are cross-posted from TikTok.

As an IG user myself, I'm noticing a trend of users who are creating Reels with still images and adding music and captions. This is a great option to change up your content.

The one constant; social media changes.

You should start noticing a more even mix of photos and Reels.

It's important to stay connected to your audience on social media. As a business owner, you have to think like your customers.

What do you do when you are looking for a product or find a business?
Are you searching Google?
Do you check out the company website, page, Instagram page, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube,...?

Stay connected with a social media marketing plan that is true to you and your brand.
Create content that shows people what you do, what you're working on, what makes you different from your competitors, and create those relationships with engagement.
