Weathering the Social Media Storm: Navigating what to share when life happens

Sometimes, there aren't words. And sometimes, it's OK not to have any.

It's ok to do what you need: take your time, step away, unfollow, unsubscribe, unfriend, pause, and NOT share everything you're thinking and feeling.  

Today, I want to get into an issue I've faced in my own business as I navigate marketing myself on social media when life gets lifey. I don't have the answers, but I can help you find your own answers to: 

  • What and when to share
  • How vulnerable and personal to get
  • Which conversations to engage in
  • How to weather the storms on social media including hardship, grief, loss, family, relationships, politics, religion, toxicity, comparison, and so much more! 

Questions for You to Consider: 

  1. How closely does this align with my brand's mission and core values?
  2. Does my client and customer base care about this? Do I need to address it with them?
  3. Am I prepared for potential backlash, and can I/my business handle the consequences?
  4. Will sharing this serve or benefit my customers or clients in some way?
  5. Am I sharing a unique/helpful perspective or adding to the noise? Why am I sharing this? 
  6. Is this a one-time statement, or do I need to share about this consistently? 
  7. How will I respond if people disagree or ask questions?
  8. Will I regret staying silent on this?
  9. Will I regret sharing this?
