The truth is, SOCIAL MEDIA HAS CHANGED AND WILL CONTINUE TO CHANGE! If you plan to<br />

continue branding and marketing yourself like you did in 2017 and the years before that, then<br />

don’t expect to be dominating in your industry anytime soon…the raw truth!<br />

What’s all the <strong>Social</strong> <strong>Media</strong> hype about?<br />

<strong>Social</strong> <strong>Media</strong> was created for people to be SOCIAL! It doesn’t take much guess work there<br />

but over the recent years, marketers tapped into its potential to generate big bucks and build<br />

million dollar empires in little to no time. Mark Zuckerberg, was not happy and long story short,<br />

the algorithms were put in place to make timelines less spammy and more about connecting.<br />

Well, that’s great for those who only use it to socialize but what about those of us building<br />

digital empires? ….the following pages will answer that question.<br />

Many think that all it takes is posting pictures to gain exposure and clients. Completely wrong!<br />

If you are not using a strategy for your posts, you will most likely get tons of likes and nothing<br />

more and as we know, likes do not pay the bills. I have created this guide to inform you of all<br />

the things you should know when posting on Facebook and Instagram. If followed correctly<br />

and consistently, this will help you not only gain exposure but have your audience paying<br />

major interest!<br />

Also, do not try to maintain multiple social media platforms at once without support or some<br />

form of automated system. The Online Gurus will tell you to have Instagram, FB, Twitter,<br />

Snapchat, Pinterest, Linked In, Periscope and a host of others. The truth is unless you are<br />

paying someone to do that all for you, you will end up burning yourself out. It is better to show<br />

up daily, frequently, and consistently on 1-3 different platforms than once per week here,<br />

there and everywhere.<br />

Depending on your product or service, some platforms are better suited than others but this<br />

guide is based solely on Instagram and Facebook users.<br />

IMPORTANT: Before you invest time infographics, websites and a host of other things you need<br />

to BUILD YOUR AUDIENCE on each platform. The more people you have following you, the<br />

more potential for one to lead to a customer/client. Marketing your products to an audience<br />

of only 100 followers will generate far fewer results than marking to an audience in the<br />

thousands. If you want to increase your audience (in addition to the tips in this guideline),<br />

start requesting friends on Facebook, following other accounts on Instagram and encourage<br />

them to follow you back. You should attempt to attract a minimum of 5 new people to each<br />

platform daily.<br />
