Data entry can be monotonous and frustrating. Most businesses are on a digital platform, but you still run into handwritten submissions. Accuracy and speed are key.

I recommend using Google Forms to make an input form with all of your fields. Use TAB to shift between fields quickly. All of your entries will be saved in Google Sheets for easy sharing with your CRM.

Create a new survey and edit it with others at the same time. Choose from a variety of pre-made themes or create your own. Free with a Google account.

Social Media Basics Tip # 10: Social Media does NOT replace a website

This is very important! Social media provides truncated information about your business to a select audience. Even using platform ads will not reach your full audience. Having a well-built and optimized website will make your business more accessible to your target audience. Websites are great ways to engage with your audience more in-depth, including email subscriptions and online payments, depending on your business. You don't have to do that part yourself, I can help set you up!

Social Media Basics Tip # 9: Don't Forget Your Profile Page

Having an active Page isn't all of it. Is your Profile Page up to s***f? Make sure your banner and profile images are the correct size and don't have any clipping. Are all of your services listed? Is there an easy way for customers to message you about questions or quote requests? Social media is the gateway to engaging with your audience. By making your profile page complete, your audience can more easily find the information they're looking for.

Social Media Basics Tip # 8: Engage Your Audience

There are millions of posts every second on the various platforms. Where your post falls in that order has to do with how you engage your audience. Are you replying to comments and DMs? Are you posting regularly? Are your posts getting comments and likes? All of this data gets factored on to the platform's algorithms, which decides where (and if) your post gets into news feeds. Try making it a point to engage with your business audience during your idle social platform time.

Social Media Basics # 7: Build an organic following

Engaging with your audience is the name of the game. Share everything on your personal Page. The more people see your Page pop up in their news feed, the more likely they are to follow it. This also circles back to tip # 4 - content that is personal to you, that is specific to your business and expertise, will do better than stock content and article shares. Contests and audience questions are also a great way to boost followers.

There are millions of accounts posting on the various social media platforms every minute. How do you make your post stand out in the feed algorithms? Post consistently. Once a day is usually sufficient to rank in your loyal followers' news feeds. It's also important to engage with your audience. Are you answering messages and comments? Commenting and liking as your business page? Engagement and consistency are the name of the game.

Social Media Basics Tip # 5: Share outside the platform

Do you use Instagram? Pinterest? Twitter? Many of these social media platforms support intersharing. Particularly Instagram and Facebook. If you post an article or photo on platform, share it on the rest. Also, if you have a website with a blog, make sure you post a link on all of your social media platforms.
