Whether or not you like to use social media in your personal life, if you're a business owner who is taking the anti-social media approach, you're really only hurting yourself. So, in this episode, Rebecca Weiand, Rea's social media superstar, is here to explain: Why you should consider using social media, how to choose which one is the right one for your business, and, even if you are already using social media, how you could be using it better. Post, But Don't Sell Using social media is a great way to share and promote the services or products your business has to offer. However, it's important that you understand that people are not using social media to be sold – they want to engage and get to know your business. The sales will come once your audience is engaged and trusts your brand. If you are a business owner or you are responsible for social media in a business, you will be interested in these other topics discussed in this episode: Don't just post. It is important to use all the tools social media has to offer (photos, videos, live feeds, contests, etc.) Sharing the content your audience wants to see will lead to them engaging with your other content, which can then make you more visible to other people because the algorithms in the background will be more likely to prioritize your content. You can't set it and forget it. There are a lot of great tools that help you with your content, from sharing to tracking your brand, but you still need to actively engage to get noticed.

Elise’s guest today is Elizabeth Letts, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of several novels and two phenomenal horse books: The Eighty-Dollar Champion, which was the winner of the 2012 Daniel P Lenehan Award for Media Excellence from the United States Equestrian Foundation; and The Perfect Horse, which won the 2017 PEN Literary Award for Research Nonfiction.   The Eighty-Dollar Champion chronicles the inspiring, true story of destitute immigrant Harry DeLeyer and Snowman, the slaughter-bound plow horse he rescued. Together, Harry and Snowman won post World War II America’s heart by climbing in two short years to the very top of the elite world of show jumping. This beloved pair later appeared on TV shows, the cover of Life magazine, and traveled the world together, giving exhibitions and meeting their devoted fans. Elizabeth’s book, The Perfect Horse, shares the gripping World War II behind-enemy-lines, true story of a small troop of battle-weary American soldiers saving priceless Lipizzan stallions from imminent death. As a lifelong equestrian, Pony Club graduate, and phenomenally gifted writer, Elizabeth is the ideal person to tell these two amazing stories. So compelling are they – and so beautifully written – that these books are a treat for horse lovers and non-horse lovers alike. In this episode, Elizabeth recounts her days writing both books and shares the stories Harry told her about himself and Snowman, the pivotal moments in his life, what it was like interviewing him, and how he described his own relationship with Snowman and what it meant to him.
