I’m going to scoop out my favorite tips to writing scroll stopping captions like we at Baskin Robbins y'all.

Listen up boo and listen up closely: you do not need to be an influencer to run a successful business

Don’t believe me? 

I know so many of us are convinced that your account has to look a certain way, have a certain amount of followers, or have that blue check mark on it. Some of you strive to become an influencer as your ultimate goal, dreaming of sponsored ads, free products, and tons of adoring followers. I mean, it would just make business easier right? Oh Buttercup, I can’t wait to prove you wrong. 

I was invited to speak at Spark U to high school senior girls recently and what I shared with them I want to share with you too:

There’s a difference between building a business with influence and being an influencer.

If you’re ready to hear why that influencer life isn’t as desirable as you think and how you really don’t need it to be successful, plug in those headphones and take a listen because things are about to get real good. It all starts with clicking play.

If you are a regular listener of the Jasmine Star Show (thanks boo!), you hear me preach all the time about getting personal on social media. I’m ALLLLLLL about building those relationships and talking as if you’re with your BFF.

However, is there such a thing as getting TOO personal on social media?

This is actually a question I’m asked quite often because it's something that many business owners struggle with. Maybe you want to get personal with your audience but respect the privacy of your family and friends. Or maybe you run a business like Nike or Starbucks *don’t we all wish?* that doesn’t have a “face” of the business. How do you get personal when people don’t even know you exist? 

>>There is really no limit to how personal you can get on social media. It just depends on what you're comfortable with and what your audience wants to see.<<

What makes you unique as a business owner is one of the most powerful things you possess. Stay true to the business vision and share images that differentiate your company with the only true thing that makes your business different: YOU.

Let me ask you, friend: Do you consider yourself a freelancer or an entrepreneur? Because once you’ve identified which lane you are in it’s not only going to bring you confidence but help you approach how you do business. 

Let me introduce you to my future best friend and spirit animal Seth Godin.

Seth is nothing short of a genius. He’s written 19 best-selling books, given 5 TED talks, and created life-changing workshops and online courses about marketing, entrepreneurship, and mindset. 

Seth is about to spill the tea on my podcast *so turn that volume up!* 

I’ll give you a hint: freelancers work with their own two hands while an entrepreneur’s job is to build systems so they don’t have to do the work.

Are you struggling to identify your voice on social media? 

There are millions of Instagram users so let’s get you to stand out! In this episode, I’m talking all things branding.

Anyone feel like they are living in an alternate reality? *cue the Twilight Zone theme song* During the COVID-19 quarantine, normal life is like a long lost friend we are desperately waiting to reconnect with. 

Some of us are holding on to the hope that once the dust settles, life is going to completely go back to how it was. But boo boo, that’s just not realistic. It’s time to push past the disappointment and embrace new memories, new patterns, and new opportunities. JD and I are counting the days until social distancing is a thing of the past, but while we wait we are CHOOSING JOY. 

I want to bring you in on one week of our new normal. Big crazy things are happening for me right now… some of them I'm even a little bit embarrassed to talk about. But these are the unexpected twists and turns that happen in the midst of a crisis.

I’m creating this podcast in real time and hope at some point in the near future I will be able to come back and talk about how things ended, how things fared, and the lessons I learned along the way. 

If you’re ready for my real talk, clips from my personal life, and to get an inside look into a business navigating a really crazy time in human history… then click play. This is a rollercoaster of a time for all of us, but we are in this together! 

And if this episode resonated with you, I’d love for you to leave a review!

I’m gonna throw it back to the early 2000s when the show Mythbusters was airing. Remember that show where they took common myths and either confirmed or busted them?

*I mean, who knew that turning off your ac and rolling down your windows doesn’t ACTUALLY save you gasoline!?* 

In a keynote I presented at Social Media Marketing World, I take down some of the common myths people tell themselves about Social Media. Boo boo this is something I’m sooooooo passionate about because I don’t want these misconceptions to hold you back in your business. 

Are you ready to stop letting myths keep you from showing up, adding what you can to the world, and being all you can be?

>> I want you to believe the impossibilities are possibilities for you! <<

Tune in to today’s episode where I break down the myths that are holding you back in business, Buttercup. And if you would like more help on owning social media head to www.jasminestar.com/igmarketingguide for my free Instagram Marketing Guide.

I feel like times of uncertainty make us do crazy things. I mean JD and I made a mad dash to the grocery story and want to know what we walked out with? A jar of olives, pimentos, coconut oil and cheese crisps. Who are we? Let's not talk about how I could really use extra toilet paper right now. 

Showing up on social media can feel the same way. You scramble to put out anything and everything without a plan because you want to keep showing up right now. Or maybe you’ve shied away from posting because you want to be sensitive during this time. Whatever it might be, figuring out what conversations to have on social media can be tricky during COVID-19.

The good news is: more people are on social media than ever before, and the last thing anybody wants to see on there is more depressing news. 

Say whaaaaaaattt? That’s GOOD NEWS y'all! That means you have a bigger audience and a better chance of getting your voice out there. 

So are you wondering what content should you be publishing right now??
