Are you a micro business owner? Here’s some juicy social media advice

posted by Alicia in Strategy Stuff

This week I got the chance to hang out with Julie Hall from Women Unlimited as part of her Micro Entrepreneur – the magic of thinking small series.

I always love talking with Julie. She was one of my first mentors when I took my initial tentative steps into solo-working. Her passion, support and encouragement for us biz ladies has been massively valuable, and a huge inspiration to me and thousands of others.

So, I was thrilled to jump on Google Hangouts on Air with Julie to talk about one of our fave subjects: social media strategies for micro businesses.

In a compact 30 minutes we dissected the topics that affect solo-workers and micro business owners when using social media and the internet to raise the profile, including:

  • The 2 things to consider when choosing your social media channel when just starting out
  • How to deal with the mass of great resources and information on the internet to stop overwhelm
  • The biggest mistakes micro entrepreneurs make on social media
  • How to make connections with influencers and the media, and the simple approach to finding them in the first place
  • The privacy debate, and social media marketing for shy peeps and introverts
  • Plus, I share some of my must-use tools that make social media marketing a breeze (almost!)

    There’s loads more too (it’s amazing what you can squeeze into 30 minutes!) so watch the recording below. Grab a pen and enjoy..!
