October 27, 2020 How-to navigate anxiety, social media, and run your creative small business
How-to navigate anxiety, social media, and run your creative small business. That's what we're talking about this week on Social with Kelly!

From the upcoming election in the United States, to most shifting all your business being done online, and being a human consuming on social media.... MANY creatives are experiencing anxiety. This episode I'm sharing my own experience of anxiety, being on social media, and still running a business. As creatives who also use social media for business, this is a really important conversation for us to have and normalize.

Taking notes!
1. We talk about making adjustments to our content calendars
2. Sharing that we're humans first behind our brands
3. Being extra mindful of what we consume as content creators who need to be on this platform for work

This weeks creative experience is to allow yourself to make any adjustments needed (or any adjustments you can make) to calm your anxiety on social media. For myself, that usually look like deleting IG off my phone for a day to give myself a break. Let me know what adjustments you make to better support your anxiety with social media!

Thanks for listening to Social with Kelly. New episodes talking about social media for creatives & brands their building every Tuesday!

October 21, 2020 Why introducing yourself is so important to your brand
NEW episode of Social with Kelly! Today I'm talking about why it's so important for you to share who's behind your brand. Now more than ever, people want to support brands and business with people who align with their ethics and values. People want to see the face(s) of the humans behind the scenes.

This week your creative experiment is to do a re-introduction post! Yes! You're going to post a photo of your face (or faces) behind your brand and share who you are, why you started this company, your mission, and anything else you want to share to authentically connect with your community. I know not everyone feels comfortable with their faces on the internet but challenge yourself to put your self out there a little bit more so more people can engage with you. After you post, send the post to me so I can cheer you on!!!

Thanks for watching a new episode of Social with Kelly! I'll be filming live every Tuesday & Friday at 9am pst on IG live. Then I'll be saving them to IGTV, iTunes, YouTube & my blog (aka all the places). Really appreciate you. More to come!

October 18, 2020 Are you an introvert (like me) but want to feel more comfortable talking on stories (and people on the internet)?
Here's how to feel more comfortable talking on stories (and people on the internet). And, I get it. It can feel VERY weird talking to your phone. By nature I'm actually really shy and it wasn't until college that I was more outgoing talking with people I didn't know. But overtime, I started feeling more comfortable and it's really helped me in business. So, I want to share these tips with you!!!

1. Document what you're already doing (don't but weird pressure on yourself that you have to be 'on' all the time)
2. When you're feeling it, record extra videos so you can share them to stories later when you're not feeling so social
3. PRACTICE! It's a skill. Even if you start your video with 'Oh hello! This is awkward. But I wanted to talk to you about....' People love authenticity!
4. If you're not feeling it today, that's ok. Don't be so hard on yourself. Focus on recharging your creativity so you can show up tomorrow

Hope this was helpful! Every week I'm going to host #socialwithkelly so send me your burning social media questions and I'll answer them.

Thanks for watching! Let me know when you share on stories, I'll watch and cheer you on!!!
