5 Musts Before Launching Your Social Media Marketing Campaign

SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING

Social-media-logos

When you decide to pursue a social media campaign, it’s natural to get a bit excited. You’ve been thinking about the potential returns of social media marketing for a long time, and you want to start earning the rewards as soon as possible. For this reason, many new entrepreneurs and marketers jump in without thinking—and end up wrecking their campaigns before they ever have a chance to get off the ground.

The execution of your campaign matters—significantly—but if you haven’t set yourself up with the proper research and foundations, your campaign’s potential will be crippled. Before you start posting anything on social media, make sure you take care of these five pre-requisites:

1. Know your goals and targets.

This is by far the most important step of the process. Your general goal may be “success” with social media marketing, but what does that “success” really mean? Does it mean more traffic? More likes or followers? Higher brand awareness? Moreover, how are you going to get there? What demographics are you targeting? How are you going to appeal to them? What platforms are you going to use?

If you haven’t thought deeply about these questions, you shouldn’t start your campaign yet. Dig into some market research, as well as some competitive research, to learn more about your industry’s landscape. You’ll want to set a direction for your campaign, including who you’re targeting, why you’re targeting them, and the precise numbers you want to achieve. Without focus, you won’t even know how to measure the success of your campaign.

2. Confirm individual responsibilities and checkpoints.

Who in your company is responsible for managing your campaigns? What, exactly, are they responsible for? Is someone going to take charge of posting new content, with someone else taking point on responding to incoming messages? You’ll want to make this clear before beginning, or certain responsibilities will be lost in the shuffle.

You’ll also want to set up some key checkpoints for your campaign. For example, you may call a meeting every week or two to get the team on the same page and address any issues, or you might set up a monthly evaluation to take the pulse of your campaign and make adjustments as necessary. Outline this as formally as possible.

3. Establish conversion opportunities throughout your site.

No matter how big your social media audience gets, the real value is going to be people clicking through to your website and converting, whether that means joining your email list or buying your products and/or services. Accordingly, before you post anything, you’ll want to go through your site and make sure it’s fully optimized for customer conversions.

Depending on your goals, this could involve setting up specific landing pages for different audience segments or specific functions. However, most of your focus should be centered on providing ample conversion opportunities on your content-rich pages—as this is where the majority of your social audience will end up.

4. Set up an ongoing blog.

You’ll need to set up an ongoing blog, complete with high-quality posts, for a variety of reasons. First, it’s going to serve as discussion material for your social media accounts. Second, it’s going to serve as a means of not only keeping users on your site, but convincing them that you deserve their business. Your content establishes your brand as an authority in your space, which builds trust and drives conversions.

Success is You

THE TRUE MEANING OF SUCCESS 

YOU!

Woman-Celebrating-raising-hands-to-the-sky-God-Empowered-Success

Success. What does it really mean? Many people define success as knowing how to make money effortlessly.  The very definition, for some, means having money, and lots of it, secured in their bank account.  Some define success as having “made it” whatever that means.  There are those who define success as being powerful, rich and famous with millions of dollars to purchase anything their heart desires.  Living in a mansion in the exclusive section of the city, driving an expensive top of the line car with all the luxuries that makes it the top of the line, while enjoying all the amenities that a certain lifestyle brings.  Being able to afford the finest things in life becomes the norm, but what are the finest things in life.  I guess the finer things in life are material goods and I guess it can also be defined as buying the best high quality anything that money can buy.  It’s nice to have a million dollars.  It’s nice to experience being able to pay bills without struggling.  It’s a joy to have the money you need to buy good wholesome high quality foods week after week without ever having to worry how you are going to make ends meet.  It’s a blessing to know that your electricity will not be turned for nonpayment, but being a millionaire definitely does not define success.  

WHAT SUCCESS IS NOT!

Success is not getting dressing up, wearing a formal black suit as if you were going on an interview for a job to earn just enough wages to pay a bill or two. 

WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS ARE SUCCESSFUL WOMEN IN BUSINESS

If you’re an entrepreneur and you’re doing things God’s way then you are the definition of success.  Have you looked at yourself lately?  Have you thought about your character, your attributes and how kind, considerate, compassionate, nice, polite, thoughtful and caring you are?  Do you take time to share all that you have, blessings of wisdom, understanding and an abundance of knowledge with those who need it?  Do you take time to listen to that voice crying out for help?  Do you take time from your schedule to help someone in need?  What about praying; do you pray for other people’s success?  Are you honest and trustworthy?  Well, depending on how you’ve answered these questions and as a woman of God, I would have to say that your definition of success should be you!

THE TRUE MEANING OF SUCCESS IS YOU!

Success is Women in Business Prospering Through Wisdom!  

Before you decided to become an entrepreneur, to share your product or service with the world, you were successful.  Why?  Because you are a child of God, living by and keeping His commandments.  You obey God with all your heart and soul.  You use your God-given gifts to give Him glory.  Success is accomplishing the things you have listed on your daily to do list even if it is just one thing.  Success is encouraging yourself.  Success is doing what you love.  Success is lifting up yourself and staying on the path God has designed exclusively for you.  Success is having a positive outlook on things which means you have a positive mindset that comes from the Light that lives, breathes and shines inside of you.  You are the meaning of success because you know who and whose you are.  Now, Woman Entrepreneur, get ready to do a new thing in your business because you believe! Enjoy your success. You deserve it!

Think Outside the Box

What Box!

Think outside the box.  What box is the question.  Have you ever asked yourself what does this mean?  

There use to be a time, that, whenever I heard the term think outside the box, my mind would start racing desperately trying to understand what it meant to think outside the box.  I began trying to come up with new ideas that pertained to my business. I truly believed I was living in a box and maybe I was, but this was not the case where my business was/is concerned because I have and continue to use my gifts every day doing what I love. 

Now when I hear or read the phrase, Think Outside the Box, I say to myself what box?  I realize that there is no box.  There were, however, limits that I placed on myself which made me think that there was a box, but now I am free to do what I want to do and as an entrepreneur, the list never ends and I love it.

There is an enormous university out there and you are truly free to do and be whatever you long to do and be. There is no one and I mean nothing that can stop you from accomplishing your goals.  You can live the life you dream about every day of your life if that is the vision you see when you lay down at night or when you wake up in the morning. If you are saying to yourself that you are living outside the box, ask yourself, to what box are you referring.  If you feel like you are being limited by your present situation like perhaps working for someone else and you are not totally using all of your gifts, then it’s time to rise, climb and shine and break those barriers that hold you back from doing what you want to do.  Life is a blessing and it is filled with an abundance of everything you need to be a highly successful and phenomenal entrepreneur; wisdom, wealth, knowledge, ornaments of grace and a host of business tools that you can use to ensure your financial freedom.  

Don’t Get Trapped into Thinking

You Need to Think Outside the Box

A goldfish jumping out of the water to escape to freedom. White background.

Don’t get trapped into believing that you need to think outside the box because you are not and have never been in a box.  I understand that thinking outside the box means going above and beyond your present situation.  I know that it means doing things differently than ever before to take your business to the next level.  Always remember this should you reflect upon the steps it took to get you to this point;Just know that you already have everything you need to be the brilliant entrepreneur you know you are.  Don’t get trapped and enjoy being free to be the brilliant creator that has designed her business by thinking outside the box you were never in in the first place!

 It’s Time to Encourage Yourself 

Encourage Yourself

It’s time to encourage yourself like never before and you are going to be Empowered, Nurturing your gifts with the Courage to Optimize, Understand and Realize that you have the greatest potential deep inside you, like seeds planted and growing in the richest soil and as you work towards living your life to the fullest by Accomplishing your Goals, you will be preparing to Excel in your business!

It’s Time to Make Money

It’s Time to Make MoneyMake money smarter

It’s time to make money because you deserve it!  

Are you an entrepreneur and you are not making money in your business?  If you are an entrepreneur and you need to make money, now is the time!  There is a large directory on the internet that contains some really great information on how to become an entrepreneur.  It will tell you how to start your business and maybe even what kind of business you can birth.  It will also tell you that you’ll need have a website presence, which of course includes a domain name and so on and so forth, but unfortunately the one thing that it doesn’t really tell you is how to make money right in the comfort of your own home. Now, you probably already know that there are a zillion businesses that you can start that has the potential to make you a lot of money; from typing and transcribing to crafting and designing, the list is endless. Anyone can be an entrepreneur, but not everyone is making the kind of money they expect to make when they envision becoming an entrepreneur.  When entrepreneurs open the doors to their own businesses they anticipate making a whole lot of money and why shouldn’t entrepreneurs dream of and work toward their financial wealth?  For some, this is the very reason that they start their own businesses in the first place; to make the kind of money they believe they deserve.  For many entrepreneurs they can’t seem to make enough money to buy gas for their cars.  Making money as an entrepreneur is just a dream they chase after every single day of their businesses.  What is the key to making the kind of money you really need on a weekly basis? It’s so much easier than you could ever imagine.

Make money in business

When you work for a small or large corporation you are guaranteed to collect a paycheck at the end of two weeks most of the time. It’s very rare that anyone gets paid on a weekly basis anymore. I don’t think anyone should have to wait two weeks to collect a paycheck after working diligently and being faithful to their employer by showing up to work five days a week working eight hours a day. Many people are choosing to start businesses of their own for many different reasons. Some people are just tired of being limited in terms of how much money they make. It takes a whole lot of money these days to make ends meet and when someone tells you how much your skills are worth, it can be discouraging. You already know how much you’re worth; you can’t put a price tag on it.  The zeros at the end of the number 10 never stops growing.  You are beyond brilliant, super intelligent, highly talented, truly gifted and you have the ability to utilize all of these components to make a highly profitable and successful business of your own.  

Your Passion 

Make Money in Business

Here you are gifted and blessed.  You see when you use your gifts you are thinking outside of the box to create and design a unique and highly powerful business of your very own which leads to achieving your goal of making money. It’s exciting and fulfilling when you decide to become a real business owner. You can leverage your business and make endless amounts of money daily if that’s your goal. It doesn’t have to be complicated and you certainly don’t need a college degree. Your college degree is your gift and vice versa. Make a design, put your name on it and hang it on your office wall in your home so that when people see it they will see that you have all the degrees you need; your gifts from God.

Making Money and a Whole Lot of It Because You Deserve It!

Steph Curry, One of the NBA’s Finest

Make Money Step Curry

Making money seems to be the hardest thing for entrepreneurs. People have you believing that they are making a mint when in reality they are not making a red penny at the close of the week and it shouldn’t be this way. You should be tapping into your reservoir of finances making six to seven figures every year. I have read that most businesses fail within the first five years after starting, but I just don’t believe nor do I accept this because if you are using the gifts God has bestowed upon you and you’re using them exactly how God is telling you to use them there is absolutely no way that you can fail. In fact I know for a fact that you can start making tons of money immediately after opening the doors of your business. When you launch your business you are launching your great success. When athletes get drafted in the NFL (National Football Association) or NBA (National Basketball Association) they don’t have to wait before they begin making money. They get enormous bonuses as soon as they get signed by their teams. Now I know that you’re probably thinking that these athletes are working for huge associations who pay their salaries, but the relevance is the same.  These spectacular athletes, well most of them any way, are using their God-given gifts and talents to play the game they love and they play it with passion.  

When Kobe Bryant, one of my favorite and best players to ever grace the game, entered into the NBA, his focus wasn’t on making millions of dollars.  He was focused on doing something he truly loved; playing the game of basketball and he mastered it like no other.  Kobe plays with passion and a whole of enthusiasm.  I say this to say that when you’re in business your focus should never be to make money, but to share your gifts and talents with the world and then you know what, the money will just flow to you!

Kobe Bryant Plays with Passion and Enthusiasm!

Kobe Bryant makes money doing what he loves

While I understand that you may not think its wise to compare your business to that of a pro athlete I think it’s wise to do so because you are just as talented as they are, probably even more so, and you deserve big bonuses as well you just have to understand that your bonuses and money will come in a different way, but you can best believe that it will come. Kobe Bryant spoke it, believed it and he received it all and so should you!!!!!!!

In my graphic design business I was making nine dollars a day but only here and there. It wasn’t consistent and that was my fault completely. To make the kind of money I dreamed about I knew I had to do things differently which was to change my mindset and speak encouragement over my business and my oh my did this prove fruitful for Cyndi’s Light Work Designs. Yes. It is just that easy. I wasn’t working harder, but instead  I started thinking smarter which changed the scope of my business completely.

When I started designing, my goal and hope was that people around the globe and across the pond would see my masterpieces and fall in love with them and that is exactly what has happened.  I never thought about how much money I could making selling my unique pieces of wall art, but just that people would see my works which glorify God.

The Gift Box

Open your gift box and let’s see what’s inside!  Have you ever seen Ralph Lauren’s navy blue gift boxes.  They are elegant.  They are unique, crafted with the best materials ever.  They are lovely to the touch.  They are strong and awesome for gifting.  The look and feel of his gift boxes make you think that there will always be something of high quality and perfectly beautiful when unwrapped.  Even the tissue paper is of amazing quality.  Ralph Lauren’s gift boxes are so lovely that after you’ve opened them, you’ll want to keep them to regift over and over again.  They are just too nice to just toss to the side or throw out.  God’s gift boxes are the same, but what’s inside cannot be compared even to the most expensive diamond on the planet.  When God sends you a gift box it is important that you unwrap it, take out the gifts inside, use and cherish them forever. God never stops gifting.   

God has given you a gift box. It is a present. In that gift box are presents that contain your very unique gift; your talent; your skill set and your amazing ability to use your presents intelligently and wisely with knowledge and understanding.  These are just some of the tools that you need to cultivate a great business.  Your business will have the potential and power to alter lives.

Lets say you want to become a personal trainer. You yourself enjoy a very healthy lifestyle and you know the importance of eating to live. You have that magnificent body every woman wants. The body every woman dreams of displaying, giving her the confidence she never had before.  You know because you have heard women who have lost weight say how much better they feel and look. Hearing this is like the sound of a beautiful harp playing to your spirit soothing your soul. You take your idea making it a dream and turning into a vision to make it a reality.

Open Your Gift Box and Take Out Your Blessings 

Gift box

It’s a matter of brilliance.  It’s a matter of boldness.  It’s a matter of magnificence.  It’s a matter of confidence.  It’s a matter of courage.  It’s a matter of being who God says you are and moving forward to produce the spectacular that lies within you.  To use your gifts for God’s glory is to change your life.  It’s creating a new path of reality, living your dreams and being the woman, the entrepreneur who is brave enough to show your talents, your skill set and your uniqueness.  

Now is the time to unwrap your gift box and take out all the gifts, one by one that God has so graciously placed there.  If He has gifted you, you can rest assure that He will give you everything you need to design the business of your dreams and when it comes to fruition, you can sit back reflect and just say thank You God for believing in me even when I didn’t believe in myself.

All for His Glory

Take It Off The Shelf

Dust It Off and Use Your Gift

It’s time to take your business off the shelf. If you started a business and became discouraged because your business didn’t take off the way you expected then its time to rethink your strategy and take your business off the shelf. Maybe the business you tempted may not have been right for you, but it doesn’t mean that you have to walk away from your dreams of being an entrepreneur.

Here you are, a brilliant and intelligent woman.  You are unique in every way.  You are clothed in thankfulness and now it’s time to go the mile to conquer all that has been instilled in you.  You are of great value.  You are this phenomenal pioneer, a leader and an awesome woman of God.  It’s time to take your place in this universe going places and doing things no one has ever done before.  Don’t ever be afraid.  Just do what you know is in your heart to do.  So now, it’s time to take your business off the shelf.  Dust it off once and for all and just start using your gifts to build a new life for you and your family.

No more fear and definitely no more excused.  God has the most magnificent plan for you.  He just needs you to trust Him.  It’s time for you to walk in your faith and just live your dreams.  Take your business off the shelf, dust it off and live the dreams that live in your heart.
