This week I share why having a presence on social media is essential for every business, no matter the industry or size. From establishing credibility to building a deeper connection with your audience, I'll break down why social media is more than just a platform for posts –it’s a key driver of brand visibility and customer engagement.

I also discuss how to set yourself up for long-term success through consistency and strategy, dive into the power of paid ads to boost your reach, and show how email marketing can turn followers into loyal customers. Lastly, I will guide you through setting up strong foundations early, so you can start your social media journey with confidence. 

If you're just getting started or feeling overwhelmed, you’ll also hear about tools like the Social Media Starter Kit to help you build an effective strategy.
