What Not To Post (If You Want Sales)
“As Streamlined Entrepreneurs, we never post just to fill a slot. Every post should help sales, but every post shouldn’t ask for a sale.”
It’s always a very awkward conversation with business owners…
They show me their social media “success,” very proud of all the engagement and reach they’re getting.
“Are you getting lots of new clients or customers from social media?”
After I ask that question, it is usually met with uncomfortable silence, followed by a confession that they are not happy with their sales.
Next I show them my Profitable Posting Framework, a simple method of generating numerous content ideas, each deisgned to drive sales in your business – without spamming your followers.
What You’ll Learn In This Episode:
- Why social media posts don’t drive sales
- Why high engagement isn’t always good for sales
- The bad social media posting advice I used to give out
- Why the things you like on social media aren’t necessarily good for your business
- How to start using my Profitable Posting Framwork to drive more sales from social media
