The episode was all about 2022 trends and predictions. We want to take that conversation a little bit further today and dive deeper into what you might need to hear or what you need to know to do with your content this year.  Click below for show notes! https://www.ruthiegray.mom/social-media-strategy/ Click to visit episode 17, 7 Instagram trends to watch for 2022 https://www.ruthiegray.mom/instagram-trends/ Click to take the Reels personality quiz! https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/611fc03c688e1f0017ed5f53     Maximizing your social media strategy The other day, the head of Instagram reported IG is experimenting with what you want to see in your feed. This kind of information is crucial to your social media strategy! They are experimenting with chronological order, or you can even tailor your feed to what you want to see. Now you can mute people. You can mute them for good or you can hide them to where you're still following them, but you don't have to see their posts. There's a lot more that you can do now than you could with your social media strategy than you could do before. That's just one of the trends that's going on that we have noticed. So we know that Reels and video are hot and we have people that are hesitant to get on the video bandwagon. It's hard, but you can fit it into your schedule! Here's the thing, what we know that's working right now is video. You could post as many infographics as you want, as well as static posts (non-video image posts). However, if you wanted to shorten the amount of time that you're on Instagram, then just use what Instagram wants you to use, which is video. You'll maximize the time that you're on the platform!     Using Instagram Video for your social media strategy Sometimes, we make video harder than it has to be. You don't even have to video yourself. If you watch my Reel recently, you'll see I just filmed my messy desk. There's all the cords everywhere. Life of a podcaster! There's my notes. There's 25 tabs open on my laptop and then at the end I just put in a picture of me. There's a song in the background. It took me 15 minutes to do. I put some text on there. So if you have an idea, just write it down! This is key for your social media strategy. If you don't have ideas for video or Reels, we have 40 free ideas. If you're not on our email list, send me a DM and you'll receive those.     I also encourage you to take the Reels Personality Quiz, linked in shownotes. If you fill that out, you'll get those 40 Free Ideas. You'll want to get on my newsletter because I give even more detailed, deeper wisdom on entrepreneurial strategies as a Christian on Instagram and what you can do with your social media strategy. That is in my email. There's one I just sent out this morning. If you read that, let me have a thumbs up. I know most of you guys did! Most of y'all get my newsletter, so it's valuable and I spend time on it so that I can help you guys grow. Maximize your time by using video on the platform.      Get ready to maximize your time We all love to maximize our time. What we've discovered from the 2022 trends happening is the more you're on the app, the more Instagram is rewarding those people on the app. They're going to push your content out. But as a Christian entrepreneur, do you really want to spend all of your time on Instagram? Most people don't want to spend all their time on Instagram. What you have to do is maximize your time. That's why we're saying if you'll use video, you don't have to be on there quite as long as if you would post every day, five days a week. Does watching lives count for time spent? No, it doesn't really unless you're engaging. That helps the other person, but it doesn't really help you. 

She Means Business, with Carrie Green, Author of She Means Business and Founder of the Female Entrepreneur Association

Join me for the incredible FREE Ideas to Income challenge - fea.link/ideastoincome When we come up with new ideas, all this pressure builds out of nowhere that makes you feel like you're supposed to just get on with it and turn it into a success right away. But the reality is that the best ideas just don't happen that quickly. Great results take time.

When a stay-at-home mom on a budget launches a blog, her path to success is often different from the fantastical stories we tend to hear about. Success means plugging away - even when results are small and growth is slow. Success means focusing on what really matters - helping your audience and giving generously. We love the kind of success Laurie Hise represents. It's real. It's genuine. And there are no casualties along this path. If you can relate, listen on. (And even if you plan to "make it" much faster, Laurie has some crazy good Facebook tips you'll want to hear!)

She started her blog, Passionate Penny Pincher, 6 years ago on a whim. When a family illness took much of her husband’s attention, Laurie occupied her time by reading blogs. She noticed a gap in the money saving site niche and decided to start her own blog, then Publix Penny Pincher, to fill the need. Mom On A Mission Laurie has always considered herself to be a frugal woman. Around the time when her youngest child turned two, she got an itch to start working again and began dreaming up ways to bring additional income to her family. In the words of Laurie, “I knew that I wanted to earn extra income from home especially as they were getting older and heading off to school...I primarily was a stay-at-home mom. I started obsessively clipping coupons back in 2006 (folks, I was nuts), so the idea of potentially earning an income from home while telling other folks how to save intrigued me.” She read Crystal Paine’s series  How To Make Money Blogging and followed her advice. As she and her husband dealt with an illness in the family, Laurie used those late-night hours to research and start her blog. From the get-go, Laurie was passionate about donating half of her income to missions. Her husband thought the idea was crazy, but they went for it! After all these years, she still donates half of her blog’s profits to missions. Many Blogs Fail - What's Laurie's Secret? Of the twelve bloggers who began at the same time Laurie did, Laurie is the only one still working at her keyboard. What’s the trick? Consistency. Laurie has showed up to work everyday, even though she made nothing on her blog for the first few years. Why Laurie Dislikes "Success Stories" Laurie’s popular post How I Make A Full Time Income As A Stay At Home Mom + 7 Secrets To Success has encouraged many moms to pursue online (or other creative working outlets) as sources of income for their families. But the post was hard for Laurie to write. When she hears people sharing their crazy success stories, it rubs her the wrong way. Laurie sees herself as just a wife and a mom who got lucky. Even though she’s hesitant to call herself a success, she wants other moms to know that working online is possible. At the end of the day, Laurie's success is due to a lot of hard work and sacrifice. She didn't start making money overnight, but instead stayed committed and slowly grew her income over many years. Why Comfort Zones are Bad for Readers Laurie is a private person, so putting herself out there is uncomfortable. But she knows from her own experience online, that the more a blogger or influencer shares about themselves, the more she begins to know, like, and trust them.  We all feel more of a connection with people who open themselves up more. So for that reason, Laurie has reconciled her discomfort and is willing to be more transparent. When she sees income from ads or affiliate sales, she knows it is because she was able to make her readers feel at home. Helping readers connect with the information she shares is uncomfortable, but sticking with it has been rewarding. (No one ever said business was comfortable or easy!) Solve a Problem? Build a Business! Laurie shares some excellent business advice in her article How I Make A Full Time Income As A Stay At Home Mom + 7 Secrets To Success: choose a business model based on people’s needs. In Laurie’s case, she doesn’t blog simply for the sake of blogging. Originally, her blog was Publix Penny Pincher. Her goal was to create meal plans and shopping lists which coordinated with Publix weekly sales. Her site has slightly expanded its focus, but the core of her business model remains the same. Laurie thinks there is certainly space for bloggers who are simply great writers, but she knows her strength is in catering to the needs of her readers. And she has consistently met the needs of her readers for 6 years! Can Low Expectations be a Good Thing? Laurie suggests mompreneurs focus on their businesses, not the money, and set low expectations. Her advice is quite different from traditional business advice! Prior to blogging, Laurie had never made more than $7/hour. She didn’t come to the online space with years of marketing and advertising experience. Growing her blog did take a longer amount of time because Laurie was so new to business and marketing, but that meant that any monetary win (no matter how small!) was a big win. Focusing on driving traffic, not building revenue, was Laurie’s method. Free Ideas for Driving Traffic Facebook has been the greatest driver of traffic for Laurie. She has three (free!) great ideas for using Facebook. Give your page a lot of attention. Laurie says that she ‘babies’ her Facebook page and constantly keeps track of what posts perform well and which ones don't. Join Facebook share groups. You can find Facebook groups related to your niche (or create your own!) and the bloggers inside share each other's posts each week. Everyone's content gets a boost and exposure to new audiences. (Rachel Coley of CandoKiddo also uses this method!) Ask for a share. Occasionally Laurie sends her best posts to other bloggers and ask them for a share. She says that some of them allow you to post to their wall, and each week they'll take a look at the best posts there and share them with their Facebook audience. Does your Business have a Magic Word?  Though her content posts are excellent performers on Facebook, Laurie's page has a few magic words as well. When these words are included in a post, Facebook chooses to show those posts to a large volume of people. For example, Starbucks is a magic word on Laurie's Facebook page. Those deals spread like wildfire! (We understand!) Because of her niche, Goodwill is another ‘magic word’ that drives a lot of traffic from Facebook to her site. Although recently Laurie noticed that a Goodwill post did very well one day but when she re-posted the next day, she heard crickets. It’s all about the right people seeing your post at the right time. (Isn’t that Facebook algorithm pesky!) An Insane Commitment to Facebook Laurie’s Facebook page shows the work she puts into it. Her recipe roundup posts (like this one) get tons of shares! One of Laurie’s recent Facebook posts, from Money Saving Mom, has 1,415 shares. Impressive! But Laurie’s schedule is intense. She has chosen not to outsource Facebook posting and commits to posting around the clock (except from about 1:15am - 5:15am) every day. How Laurie Wins with Facebook If we decided to start posting every hour on our Brilliant Business Mom Facebook page (with just 4500 fans) it would be crazytown! As a deal blogger, Laurie is already posting 15-20 deals on her site each day. There’s already a lot of content going around. So she didn’t necessarily need to get her readers used to seeing an intense posting schedule, they already were. Laurie’s Facebook posting strategy is the most unique we’ve heard! Here are the highlights: Laurie shares a new Facebook post about every 40-50 mins. She shares content from other people more than her own. It’s another piece of counterintuitive business advice, but it’s working. Laurie has found that Facebook doesn’t like her own content as much as other people’s. So the more Laurie shares content outside of her own site, the more Facebook increases her page reach. By gaining increased reach, Laurie then has the ability to reach more and more people with her own content each week too! (It's a win-win really!) Use Facebook like a curator. Laurie thinks of Facebook as a way to share content that will truly help her readers. She doesn’t see herself as the star of the show, and Facebook seems to like that! In fact, she finds that only about 50% of her posts on Facebook are from her blog. Facebook has changed, but don’t write it off! Yes, Facebook's algorithm means that not everyone will see your posts, but if you can build a sizeable audience on the platform, you will still see sizeable traffic too! And, let's face it, not everyone sees our Instagram posts or our pins either! Making any form of social media work takes commitment and strategy. Laurie's Facebook Scheduling System Laurie’s scheduling system is a bit willy nilly. She sets up posts using Facebook’s built-in scheduler. This is another strategy Facebook seems to favor over outside scheduling apps. She has a simple spreadsheet that tells her how many times to post categories of her own content (recipes, deals, etc.) and how many times to post other people’s links. She likes sharing content from other bloggers who are doing well, and has appreciated other bloggers doing the same for her. That altruistic outlook builds a strong community and is a win/win for everyone! Laurie's Strategy for Repeat Posts Laurie has a detailed system for figuring out when and how often to repost her own content. On the day her blog post goes live, she’ll share it once. (Say, at 2pm.) Then, she’ll share the post in a day or two at a different time. (Say, the next day around dinner - 6pm.) She finds that nighttime, weekend mornings, and once in an afternoon are especially good times. She usually waits 24-48 hours between reposts. If the post does well, she will save the post as one to use again. (Usually in a month or so.) The Handiest Facebook Tip We’ve Ever Heard When it comes to sharing content from others, how does Laurie find and curate all of those other posts? It sounds like it would be a time-consuming process! But Laurie has a handy tip that makes Facebook sharing much easier! Laurie has made a point to like the pages of the popular bloggers in her niche so that she'll see the posts they share.  Finding the Facebook ‘Save Link’ Tool On A Phone: On Laurie’s phone, she sees an arrow in the top right hand corner of a link. The options are to: hide unfollow report post save link   Beth Anne couldn’t quite find the ‘save link’ option, but maybe her phone needs updating :) Finding the Facebook ‘Save Link’ Tool On A Desktop: When Sarah looked for the same arrow, she visited Facebook as herself (not a Brilliant Business Moms page admin) and saw these options: report save link embed Finding Facebook Saved Links It’s easy to access these saved links for posting later! On a Phone: Hit ‘More’ On The Lower Right Corner Scroll Down Until You See The ‘Saved’ Bookmarklet Tap ‘Saved’ And Your Saved Posts Will Appear On a Desktop: Visit Your Newsfeed On The Left Hand Side Column, Scroll Down Until You See The ‘Saved’ Bookmarklet Click ‘Saved’ And Your Saved Posts Will Appear Under Each Saved Post Is A ‘Share’ Option   As far as Laurie can tell, your links will be saved as long as you want to access them. We think this tip is a brilliant way to store excellent content shared by you and others. And as smart as Facebook is, we have a hunch you’ll likely start to see similar posts in your news feed. The Obnoxious Girl Personality (and why online business sometimes requires it!) The sensationalized aspects of Pinterest marketing don’t come easily to Laurie! The all caps and superlative language feel obnoxious and a bit soul-selling. But, ultimately, Passionate Penny Pincher is a business and Laurie has to make business decisions. For example, her team was spending a lot of time on a  ‘Kroger Coupon Matchup’ series but seeing little results. A quick title change to ‘7 Deals You Need To Get At Kroger Today’ and the series took off! Laurie asks herself, “Is this (decision) worth giving up  control over to get the traffic?” She admits the balance is a struggle, but she also has a strong center of knowing what is and isn’t worth the time she’s investing away from family to make her blog work. Seeing Mom Make A Difference (Laurie’s Adorable Mom Moment) Despite the great success of Passionate Penny Pincher, Laurie’s family life hasn’t changed a great deal. All of their money, minus the half that goes toward missions, goes to savings. Her kids see that Laurie works hard, but they still live on a frugal budget. One day, Laurie’s kids were able to see just how much her mom's business makes an impact. Eating at a restaurant, their family came across a reader who thanked Laurie for her blog as they were able to adopt a child thanks to the money they saved. A few days later, Laurie’s daughter came up to her and said, “Mom, you’re helping people. You helped those people get their little girl!” What a sweet way for her daughter to recognize Laurie’s work!
