It has been over a month since our last post – really, it’s unacceptable. I’m always telling all of my clients- commit to your social presence or get rid of it- so why can’t I commit to creating consistent social media content for my own?
You know the answer as well as I do. It’s called life. It comes in and catches you when you least expect it to. So, what’s so huge going on in my life that I haven’t had a chance to write down my thoughts? Haha. That’s the problem. There isn’t anything HUGE that’s happening right now. Or, maybe there is a lot just happening all at once.
My house is under a complete renovation, down to the studs, which is great, but means we’re living out of boxes at my parents’ house. Temporary housing means a temporary office (which I can’t complain about, it’s nicer than the one I had in my house), and of course my little CCO is also becoming a daring walker, which means he gets into everything (why don’t parents have eyes in the back of their heads?!?
It really would come in useful right about now) and Thanksgiving is just around the corner with my parents hosting 35 people (including 10 kids under the age of 10) which my mom wants to ALL sit at the same table (that’s a problem that can take a day all on its own to solve). Oh yeah, and I’m running my own business, including keeping up with social media content. As I said, it’s a boring life – I’m not busy at all, I have no excuses to not get a blog up.
But here I am, making my New Year’s Resolution a little early this year, and I’m promising, I’ll get more blogs up now. Once a week. I’m committed. Please. Remind me. Bug me. Those weeks that I forget, make me write 2 the following. Let’s do this.
And while I keep reminding myself about this commitment, you should relax, have a pumpkin martini, some stuffed celery, sweet potatoes, broccoli casserole, and enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving Day with your family. Oh yeah, have some turkey too- you can have my helping since I’m a vegetarian. And while you’re at it, take a moment to plan out your social media content for the season—let’s make it a great one!
Happy Thanksgiving. Until next week! 🙂
Why is social media content so important for my business?
Social media content is essential for keeping your audience engaged, building brand awareness, and driving traffic to your website. Consistent posting allows your business to stay top-of-mind for potential customers, fostering long-term relationships.
Can I create effective social media content without a lot of time?
Absolutely! While quality is important, short-form content like polls, quick tips, and even behind-the-scenes snapshots can keep your audience engaged. Repurposing existing content (like blogs or newsletters) into social media posts is another time-saver.
How do I make sure my social media content stands out?
To stand out, your social media content should be both visually appealing and informative. Use eye-catching graphics, videos, or infographics, and ensure your content speaks to the needs and interests of your target audience. Don’t forget to be authentic and showcase your brand’s personality.
What are some tips for creating social media content for a busy season?
During busy seasons, like holidays or home renovations, it’s essential to stay organized. Plan your content ahead of time, and if necessary, take advantage of automated tools to schedule posts. This way, you won’t have to worry about finding time to post in the middle of a packed schedule.
Can my social media content help me stay connected with my audience during a renovation or life change?
Yes, sharing personal updates or the journey you’re experiencing can make your content more relatable and authentic. Your audience will appreciate the behind-the-scenes look into your life, whether it’s managing a renovation or adjusting to a new routine.
