When I ask people why social media isn’t working for their business, I get the same answer (or draw the same conclusion) time and again: ‘I don’t plan ahead.’ Well, as the saying goes, ‘Fail to plan, plan to fail’! That might sound a bit harsh, but let’s put it in context. Would you set up a business without planning what products and services you wanted to sell? Or decide to get married without having a think about where and when – or who to? I’d like to think not!
The same principle applies to social media. Getting online and going at it like a bull at a gate, setting up profiles and doing nothing with them, or posting random content once in a blue moon will all have the same results for your business: no chance of getting the results you want. Social media with a plan in place, on the other hand, is like a house built on solid foundations – it’s been done properly, so the results will be strong and long-lasting.
So, why don’t more people plan their social media effectively? There are several reasons, lack of time and inclination being just two of them. But having done a lot of research in this area, I can tell you there’s normally one common denominator that outweighs the rest: lack of confidence. And if that’s what’s holding you and your business back from online success, it’s time to do something about it.
Enter ‘Social Media with Confidence’ – my popular one month course that helps dispel the myths, dispense with the mystery and help you navigate the social media maze more effectively. The clue’s in the name, as this course is all about showing you all the tips and tricks you need to grow in confidence and start using social media with success.
I’ll show you how to cut through the online noise to find followers and fans that want to know about your business. We’ll explore strategies for creating compelling content and building strong online relationships that ultimately convert prospects into paying customers. Social Media with Confidence focuses on Facebook and LinkedIn, as experience has taught me these are the platforms people struggle with the most. But much of what you learn can be applied successfully to the social media channels of your choice.
If you’re starting to think this all sounds like a lot of hard work – think again! I’ve made learning easy with Social Media with Confidence, breaking things down into 10 minute daily tasks that will help you build your knowledge and skills, day by day. (Don’t worry, I’ll show you just what you need to do!) You’ll also have access to a private Facebook Group, where you can bounce ideas off and share experiences with other learners, and take part in weekly Facebook Lives where you can ask all your burning questions and put faces to names.
What’s more, you’ll get a whole year’s membership of Social Media with Confidence to help you stay up to speed with all things social media, plus access to one-to-one tuition sessions to nail any individual challenges I can help you with. You’ll start learning right from day one – and before you know it, you’ll be posting, building up contact networks and boosting your online presence with ease.
