Sunday Social Tip: Create a Checklist for Your Tim

Sunday Social Tip: Create a Checklist for Your Time Spent on Social Media!

In addition to posting, we need to engage on social media as our business. That means spending time on social media in the best way possible.

Creating a checklist for time spent on socials can make your life easier!

✔️ Set a Timer for Scrolling: For me, it's easy to go down the Reels rabbit hole, and now an hour or two is gone! Try setting a timer to help keep you on track.

✔️ Engage with New Accounts: Do more than just "like" a post. Leave a comment on a recent post or respond to one of their stories. It's a great way to be seen by someone new.

✔️ Check Your DMs and Respond: Make sure you didn't miss a message. Send a friendly reply or provide a link to your website that helps answer their question.

✔️ Check For New Followers: Follow back any relevant accounts who follow you. Some profiles might be spam accounts so I always check before following back.

Are there any other tasks on your "time spent checklist" for socials?

Enjoy your Sunday!

As potential clients are comparing my web design q

As potential clients are comparing my web design quote to the quotes from my competitors, they always ask:

"What are YOUR monthly fees?"

Um, what monthly fees? Abuzz Creative has fixed-fee prices for building a new website. I can't think of a reason for charging a monthly fee once it's done.

Most of my competition charges a monthly fee. This is in addition to a big design fee to build the website.

I'm not sure what services those extra monthly fees cover. If you find out, will you let me know?

Marcie's Tuesday Museday: Have you ever thought about how far-reaching your online shop could be?

It is the world wide web. That means the whole globe is within your reach.

OK, so maybe you're not ready for international sales. But, you can decide how far-reaching you want to be.

Your ecommerce website helps you expand your target audience and sell to customers who are far away from you.

Since your website is accessible 24/7, people can buy from you no matter the time zone or day of the week.

Your physical shop might be closed, but your online shop is still selling and bringing you income. Customers can shop when it's convenient for them from the comfort of their own homes.

When your online shop is properly optimized, more people can find you from all over. An increase in website traffic could mean more customers and more sales.

You are passionate about your business. It’s not

You are passionate about your business. It’s not just a job, it's a labor of love.

But, when it comes to your marketing, you might be trying to do everything while you excel at nothing.

If you've taken on the burden of running things alone, it could eventually crush you.

Stay strong and outsource your marketing. Work with a web designer who can build the website of your dreams. Hire a social media consultant who has plans that fit your budget. Better yet, find someone who can do both!

Outsourcing will give your marketing the attention it needs, giving you more time to pour your love back into your business.

Marcie's Wednesday Web Thoughts: Why does your bus

Marcie's Wednesday Web Thoughts: Why does your business need a website?

⭐️ A professional website makes you look like a legitimate, credible business.

⭐️ When your website is optimized, you can attract new customers through Google.

⭐️ Your website is a virtual showroom for showcasing your products and services with beautiful photos.

⭐️ Turn your website into an online store and list all of your products with as much detail as you want.

⭐️ Ecommerce turns your business into a 24/7 selling machine.

⭐️ A website is an endpoint for other marketing and advertising messages.

⭐️ Call-to-action encourages customers to contact you, plus customer service is available even when you're closed.

⭐️ A website actually helps increase foot traffic to your brick-and-mortar locations because people can find you more easily.

⭐️ Most importantly, your website gives customers their first impression of your business. Make it a good one!

Marcie's Tuesday Museday: Don't Just Promote Yours

Marcie's Tuesday Museday: Don't Just Promote Yourself!

Social media is the easiest way for us to speak to an audience and find new customers.

But it can be too easy for your business to become too promotional in your posts.

Don't just promote yourself all the time! People will get bored if all you do is post about how great you are, and how great your products are.

A few ideas of things to share:

✔️ Behind-the-scenes photos

✔️ How-to tips and tutorials

✔️ Business owners that inspire you

✔️ Ask Me Anything sessions

✔️ Client Shout-Out

When I think about it, the brands I admire don't usually toot their own horn.

Sure, it's OK to post about your achievements and products once in a while, just mix it up with quality content that entertains and educates.

Never Buy Instagram Followers. EVER. When you buy

Never Buy Instagram Followers. EVER. When you buy Instagram followers, you're just paying for a number. You're not buying real followers who matter.

𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝟏𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭.

You're not buying real followers who care about you, you're being sold bots or inactive accounts that will never engage.

Most importantly...

𝐁𝐮𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦’𝐬 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞.

Things to know...

👉 Fake Instagram followers will never engage with your account.

👉 You risk getting inappropriate bot comments on your posts.

👉 The fake Instagram followers you bought bring spam with them.

👉 Instagram recognizes and purges fake followers so you lose what you paid for.

Don't let "buy now" ads - or your social media manager - tempt you into buying followers. It will do your business more harm than good.
