Run With It

Nowadays, social media is critical to growing a small business. However, how you engage on Twitter needs to be different than Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc... Listen to Whitney Hansen describe a business idea to help brands succeed with social media.

Show Notes

Nuggets:

  • How a labor-intensive business can scale while providing a moat in the interim
  • On a social media consultant “not really knowing your business”: business owners don’t always know what resonates best with their customers
  • Whitney believes the shotgun approach is better than the “epic content” approach - again, you often can’t predict what will resonate with your tribe
  • How and when to offer your services for free

Action Steps:

  1. Go after streaky prospects - people who’ve used social media with some success in the past but haven’t been consistent
  2. Run Facebook Ads to people who follow Gary V, Mel Robbins, Jasmine Star, etc… and presell this service
Follow through on these action steps and email us your results at update@runwithit.fm. You'll get exclusive access to a private Facebook group of action takers and one listener will earn a free mentorship call with our guest, and potentially, a business partnership.
