Episode description
If you’re a pro at social media, then you can just hop onto Instagram or Twitter and post without giving it a second thought. But not everyone is a pro. Beginners need to take the time to plan out what their posts are going to look like. I like to compare it to walking into the gym for the first time. You can’t just jump up to the 100lb weights. First, you have to start with that 5-10lb range. Today we’re going to talk about how to successfully create that 5-10lb social media post.
In this podcast episode, we share:
- Choosing only 1 platform to start out
- How often you should even be posting on social media
- Utilizing promotional content in order to grow your brand
- Showcasing your expertise through educational content

Memorable Quotes:
- “I can’t just run-up to those 100lb weights and start lifting them. I’ve got to start with those 5-10lb weights first.”
- “A lot of people like sharing their opinion. Everyone’s got one, and we all love sharing it.”
