Have you said, "UGH! Social Media!"?
Then, let's chat! We can work together to develop a workable social media plan for your creative and/or small business.
I'm not going to lie--I've said the same thing. I've also said:
I'm just not good at self-promotion.
I don't like sales.
I'm not a salesperson.
I spent a lot of time sitting at my computer or with my phone in my hand wondering what I should post. When I should post it. Where I should post it. How to market myself so that more people would want to buy, buy, buy!
I'd spent over a decade doing social media for others, but when it was for myself, it was very different!
I tried all the hacks, tricks, and trends I discovered and it all left me feeling icky and gross. I don't want to feel icky and gross, do you? I'm guessing not, if you've read this far!
I started looking at ways to make posting on social media fun and supportive of my business. I changed who I was looking to as social media "experts," and I found that I could actually enjoy posting and connecting with people.
Isn't that was social media is all about anyway?
So, if you've said any of those same things, or some kind of variation, let's chat!
We can come up with a plan that will leave you feeling good about showing up on socials. And sharing your work with your people.
Can you just imagine...
Feeling good about posting on social media.
Connecting with people who love your work.
Spending less time worrying about what to post and more time having fun.
Then, we need to chat!
Very few writers, artists, or small business owners I know like to market themselves.
First, it is crazy scary.
After you got all the courage up to click publish on your work, now you have to TELL people about it and ask them to BUY it.
Then, there's the ick factor. Marketing can just feel icky.
But it doesn't have to be scary or icky.
Who you'll be working with...
Hi! I'm Jerri (she/her)! I'm an Indie Author, avid journaler, accidental self-compassion advocate, and teacher who happens to also be pretty darn good and helping people with their social media stuff. They must, I get asked all the time!
I've worked on social media for more than a decade with non-profits, small businesses, and creatives. Though I do not claim the title of "expert," there are those who call me that. I don't like the term because I am not going to teach you hacks. I'm not going to guarantee more followers.
What I will do is help you enjoy posting on social media a little more. Maybe a lot more. It doesn't have to be a drag; it can be as fun and creative as you are!
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect from our chat?
When you sign up for a chat, you will complete a short form that will tell me what you hope to accomplish, or if you don't know what you want with social media. You'll provide me with how to find you on social, so I can review your profiles before our chat (public accounts only). I'll make note of what I think is working and what could possibly be done differently.
During our meeting, we will talk about my review of your pages and how you feel about them presently and what you would like to feel when you see them and work on them. Together, we will come up with a plan that will help you feel more comfortable and confident to post regularly. And have fun doing it!
We can also create one or two posts before the end of the call to get you started!
How does appointment scheduling work?
After you complete the intake form and pay for your session, you will be encouraged to sign into your chat room. Here you will find a welcome message from me and a link for finding a time to meet. All of the available times are currently during the day central time. If that does not work for you, please contact me before signing up to see if we can arrange a time that works for you!
How long are Virtual Chat sessions?
The actual session will be one hour on Zoom, but I will also spend some time before we meet going over your profiles and making notes for the session. I will also send an email to you afterward with a summary of what we discussed and your next steps.
Why should I sign up?
I am not your typical "social media expert." In fact, I shy away from that label because there are so many "experts" out there telling you the best practices, the biggest hacks, and the fastest way to get followers. I'm not into all that.
Though I have had over a decade of experience working in social media with non-profits, small businesses, and creatives, and I read about a lot of the latest trends, I don't believe there is a one-plan-fits-all approach to social. Not if you want to make real connections with your people.
How much does it cost?
Each session is $100. For that you will receive one hour of 1:1 time, and at least another hour of prep and follow up. That's three hours of my eyes on your profiles!
What if I want another session?
Great! I'm glad our time was helpful! All you need to do is email me and I can send you the links to pay for and schedule another session.
What happens after I register?
- You will get an email from Payhip confirming your registration with receipt. You will also receive an email with instruction on how to log into your private chat room. (Payhip is this platform).
- I will send you an email with a link to a short form for you to complete with what you would like to work on most and share your social usernames with me.
- The chat room will also have a link to the information form. You will also have space to message me, if you wish.
- Once I receive your form, I will send you a link to schedule our meeting! I will put in in your chat room as well.
- All available meeting times are currently during the day central time. If you are unable to meet during the day, please contact me before registering to see if we can find a time that works!
