I have said it before and it bears repeating: Branding your business is part reputation and part recognition. In a recent post by branding giant Neil Patel, he pointed out that social media marketing is a great tool, but it doesn’t necessarily perform like most people think. Social media isn’t necessarily about keeping up with the Joneses but building your reputation and increasing recognition one post at a time. He says it better than I can, so check out his post here. But let me give you a recap.

The Social Media Maze

Have you ever felt like a hamster on a wheel, running your paws off but getting nowhere on social media? You’re not alone! Neil Patel highlights how easy it is to get lost in the endless posting, commenting, and liking tasks, all while your business goals seem to move just out of reach. The crux of the matter? Not every action yields the golden egg of engagement or sales.

The Pitfalls to Avoid

Neil points out a few pitfalls that might be nibbling away at your precious time:

• The Obsession with Vanity Metrics: Likes and follows might boost our ego, but do they fill the barn? Nope. We need actions that drive hooves through the door!
• The Content Conundrum: Crafting perfect posts can eat up hours, but it’s like shouting in the void if they’re not engaging your audience.
• Social Scattering: Spreading efforts too thin across multiple platforms can dilute your message faster than a puddle in a pigsty.

Your Guide to Social Success

Now, here’s where we leap over the fence. Patel advises a strategic approach, focusing on what truly moves the needle for your business. But let’s be honest, mastering the art of social media while juggling the daily farm chores or cuddling with the rescue pups can feel like trying to herd cats.

The trick comes in here: Working with an Outside Marketing Partner.
