Hi Reader, We hope you enjoyed the Bank Holiday and donât feel like youâre frantically chasing your tail this week (you arenât alone if you do). We want to see if we can perhaps help you take a few things off your to do list this week which is why we are talking about social media content, specifically... Do you have a social media content strategy? As a business owner in todayâs modern world, it is silly to not try to engage with clients & market your business on social media. It can be a really valuable & arguably âFREEâ tool for your businessâ growth & visibility. HoweverâŚ. As business owners, you will have lots of things already to do on your plate. The last thing you want to be doing is wasting your time creating content for social media without it driving any results. Please keep reading if every time you post on social media you hear âcrickets" and start questioning everything youâre doing⌠we have some tips to help you! You might be thinking... why do you need a social media content strategy? Itâs essential when using social media as a marketing tool to work smarter and not harder. There are lots who argue that quantity is a form of quality on social media (and this is true to a certain extent when it comes getting better at posting) BUT you could also be wasting A LOT of time at the mercy of an algorithm which isn't guaranteed to give you any results. This is the last thing you want as a business owner. Alternatively, many business owners fall into the trap of creating sporadic content... This often means spending more time guessing what to post rather than strategically crafting messages that resonate. Overall, without a well-thought-out strategy, you risk becoming another voice lost in the noise of social feeds, at the mercy of ever-shifting algorithms with no guarantee of engagement or results. How can you create your own social media content strategy? You can find a break down of our 4 step process in today's edition of The Business Manual. Let us know if you have any specific questions about creating content on social media - this is something we have spent A LOT of time doing & sadly wasting time to figure out what really does (& doesn't) work. See you next week, Elle & Lawrence P.S Any time you need more help there are 3 ways we can help you.... 1.

Hi Reader, It doesn't matter if your business is or isn't yet running.... we think it's really important for business owners to take a break over a Bank Holiday weekend. From our own personal experience, it helps us in a number of ways. It helps us to reflect, reset & recharge. This has a positive impact on our business in so many different ways from our productivity levels to our creativity. It can be a problem though, particularly if your business isn't yet live (i.e. you are still working...
Hi Reader, The modern world is ever-changing but ironically a key factor for succeeding as a business owner is consistency (we explained why in a previous email which you can read here).
