Identify your target audience

Before you start posting, think about the types of clients that you want to attract. Who is most likely to work with you, given your area of expertise?

Communicate your brand

Let your social media profiles present themselves as a portfolio of your work to show potential clients what you can do for them.

Set yourself up for success

Set your accounts to public, switch to business accounts, and add contact info. Business accounts also give you audience insights & analytics.

Create a Linkt.ree where you can post links to booking sites, contact forms, your website, and more.

Post and repost engaging content as regularly as possible. You don’t always have to create it yourself. Follow your host agency & report their content!
