Finding the kind of support you need at this phase of your business journey depends on what kind of support you need, and why. If you spend too much time on social media, it's easy to get distracted from your current business priorities and deviate from your long term mission.

Let's talk about what to do BEFORE you ask for recommendations for coaches, virtual assistants, and marketing help for your business. Don't Google or scour your Facebook Groups just yet.

Take some time to a little reflection and strategizing, first!

This isn't your typical CSHS episode. I'm taking a break from the "strategic" episode content and spending this summer learning things for myself. A mentor suggested I share the process, so here we are! The next few episodes will be short and personal, with me talking about my own experience learning new things as a business owner and also exploring some old and new hobbies a "yay summer vacation!" vibe. In today's short minisode, I share a bit about the online course I'm using to learn all about using paid Facebook and Instagram ads for my business. First thoughts, and surprising struggles that I'm already having.

My family got COVID so I've decided to go ahead and start our summer break early. It doesn't mean I'll be disappearing completely though, so feel free to keep in touch using the links below. I'll see you in September 2022!

Using Facebook can be a very heated topic. You may not even be using it because you've given it up. Maybe you have a burner account or you use a friend's account to be on it because you've set some boundaries for yourself because it's just not the vibe you need in your life right now, and that's cool. I'm definitely not here to try to convince you to use Facebook if you aren't already. Let's start by getting grounded with some education on how Facebook works, and then I'll walk you through some content marketing basics specifically for using Facebook to market your business.

Does your backdrop really matter that much? Do you look... different? In this episode I talk about how your unique look/aesthetic sets you apart from your competitors in a good way. Showing up as yourself without filters, branded photoshoots, or a blank, professional backdrop builds trust and is the authentic way to go. Looking and being different from others is an asset and you should lean into it!
