HOW I BOOKED OUT MY CLIENT LIST WITH SOCIAL MEDIA HOW I BOOKED OUT MY CLIENT LIST WITH SOCIAL MEDIA

I booked out my client list (and still get people trying to work with me) using social media ALONE* and this is how I did it…
*I actually don’t recommend social media being your only source of marketing but at the time, I was juggling a lot and I am only one person 🤣

- I optimized my account with keywords so when people were searching for social media managers in my area, I would pop up (not enough people do this and I am still one of the top results)
- I pinned informational posts to the top of my feed that showcased the results and experience that my businesses offered so even when I wasn’t posting consistently, I was still converting
- I showed up on stories often so my audience could get used to seeing my face and get comfortable with me. 

These are just 3 ways that I used social media to book out my client list. If you want more, give me a follow @lauramilroymedia

POSTING 7-10 TIMES PER DAY ON STORIES CAN HELP INC POSTING 7-10 TIMES PER DAY ON STORIES CAN HELP INCREASE RETENTION RATES OF YOUR AUDIENCE AND BUILD MORE ENGAGEMENT. 

But that doesn’t mean you have to post 7-10 new ideas every single day. 

Here is an example posting strategy:

•Morning coffee view (10 second video with music overlay)
•Work outfit of the day (photo)\
•To do list for the day (text overlay on photo or video)
•What’s happening at work/office/store today (photo with text overlay)
•Recent order or purchase from a client (photo or video of the item they bought)
•Offer feature (photo or video- can even share an old reel that you filmed about the offer)
•Quick video of you talking about the offer with the link to purchase
•Share content from another source that is useful, interesting or relatable
•Share moments with your team (video or text)
•End of day activities (what you’re watching on TV or how you end your day)

This will give your audience of BTS look at your day while still prioritizing selling and offer awareness.

BEFORE YOU RUSH TO HIRE A SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER… BEFORE YOU RUSH TO HIRE A SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER…

I know the idea of getting social media completely off your plate feels like a great idea but it’s also a long term financial commitment that removes a little flexibility in your business.

If you are: 
✅ posting consistently 3-5 times a week
✅ posting stories most days
✅ making some sales off social media

You likely just need a little direction and focus rather than full-scale social media 

But if you’re:
❌ ghosting social media frequently
❌ blanking on stories
❌ getting zero sales

You need a full social media overhaul and likely need a larger social media package to get you started.

If you are looking for a little social media help, send me a DM or click my link in bio to check out how I might be able to help your small business.

WHY ARE YOU NOT CONSISTENT ON STORIES YET? So man WHY ARE YOU NOT CONSISTENT ON STORIES YET?

So many businesses, big and small, are seeing huge results from posting regularly on stories. 

Right now, across all platforms and content types, Instagram stories is where we are seeing the most conversions and click-through.

I don’t want to hear how 
your life isn’t “interesting enough”
You don’t have time
You don’t want to show your face

We both know, that if you knew, for certain, that posting a few times on Stories would help bring you sales, you would do it in a heartbeat.

The only reason you’re not seeing sales is because you aren’t consistent enough with it. 

Think about it, do you buy the first time you see something? Or does it take a little while to convince you. Your customers need daily reminding that you exist in order for them to trust you enough to sell. 

So, enough with the excuses and go post something already!

And let me know below how often you are posting on Instagram Stories.
