🤳 Real Talk: Social Media Can Feel Like a Lot
If you've ever stared at your phone thinking:
“Do I have to post again?”You’re not alone.
The truth is, you don’t need to go viral.You don’t need to post every hour.You don’t even need to dance (unless you want to — in which case, I support that 100%).
You just need a simple, repeatable strategy that helps your people find you, trust you, and buy from you.
🧠 What Social Media Is and Isn’t
✅ It’s a visibility tool — not your full-time job
✅ It’s a connection platform — not a popularity contest
✅ It’s part of your funnel — not the whole show
Let’s use it smart, not endlessly.
📅 My Social Content Strategy for Busy Women Who Have a Life
Step 1: Pick 3–4 Main Content Themes
Examples:
Behind the scenes
Tips and how-tos
Inspiration / encouragement
Client stories / testimonials
Promotions / lead magnets
Stick with them! Rotate them weekly.
Step 2: Batch Your Content
Block 1–2 hours a week to write 5–7 posts.Use a spreadsheet, a Trello board, or even post-its on your fridge — whatever works.
Pro Tip: Use ChatGPT to help write captions, Reels ideas, and hooks.
Step 3: Schedule or Set Reminders
Use tools like:
Meta Planner (FB & IG)
Later or Metricool
Canva’s Content Scheduler
Or keep it manual with a calendar — just don’t wing it every day.
📸 What Should You Actually Post?
Try this easy weekly rhythm:
Day | Type | Example Caption |
Monday | Tip or Quick Win | “Try this Canva hack to boost your next Reel” |
Tuesday | Personal / Story | “Why I started my biz at 52…” |
Wednesday | Promo or Lead Magnet | “Grab my free Funnel Planning Sheet!” |
Thursday | Client Love / Result | “Gemini Salon saw a 10% increase in 2 months” |
Friday | Behind the Scenes | “What my real desk looks like today 👀” |
📱 You Don’t Need to Be on Every Platform
Pick 1–2 platforms you actually enjoy.For most of your audience, that’s likely:
Facebook (groups + pages)
Instagram (posts + Reels)
Optional: Pinterest or TikTok if it feels fun
💡 Final Thought
You don’t need to go viral. You need to show up consistently with value, heart, and YOU.
Your audience isn’t looking for perfection — they’re looking for connection.
You’ve got this.
