7 Day Social – DAY 1

People Buy People

 

Welcome to Day 1 in our 7 Day Social series.

 

And first up is the ‘People Buy People’ day. This is one of the most common phrases I use with my clients and it’s totally true.  People love to find about what makes you tick and how you can make their lives better. But you can’t portray yourself online one way and then be the complete opposite in the flesh.

This is why it’s important to be the real you online and through your marketing.

So for our first post in our 7 Day Social Sprint, we’re going to focus on little old you. Now, dont groan… we know most people don’t love to show their faces on social, but I promise, this is going to be easy.

Are you ready?

It’s all about you…

I don’t know about you, but it really makes me cringe when I see About Me posts along the lines of…..

‘Oh hi there.  There’s a few new people around here so I thought I’d introduce myself’.

Yawn. Whilst it’s great to occasionally talk about how you love your golden retriever, chocolate cake, or your three impeccably behaved children, it’s just not quite hitting the mark. Sure, that picture of you and the dog might make a connection with your audience as they scroll their feeds and yes, it’ll get a few likes here and there.
But what your audience really wants to know is how you can make their lives better and what makes you…well… you! So instead of doing the same as everyone else, how about you tell your followers something that no one really knows about you?
Rather than what you do for a living (which we can see from your bio), why not show a little of yourself?  Be different from everyone else! It doesn’t have to be really personal or even your life story, but something fun.

EXAMPLE

I’m Vick, a serial hugger, lover of a rude joke and can find me crying at any 3 legged dogs (true story!).
What is the one thing not many people know about you, let me know in the comments or even a DM with a rude joke if you like?

Your Done for You Caption

I’m all about making things simple round here, so here’s a little caption for you to tweak to make it your own. Drop it into social with a  picture of you (don’t overthink it, just grab a photo and stick it in) and let’s see what happens.

DONE FOR YOU CAPTION

Hey hey…..who wants to hear something weird/funny/amusing/embarrassing/shocking about this picture of me/what happened at the weekend/Christmas/Birthday etc.
Let me tell you…..(tell your story in a couple of lines or more if you like, doesn’t need to be war and peace).
What did you get up to at the weekend/over Christmas? I hope it was/wasn’t anything as weird/funny/amusing as mine!
If it was, let me know, it’s good to share this kind of stuff and that I’m not alone!

DAY 1

THAT’S IT!

How easy was that? Well done on grabbing the bull by the horns and getting your first post done. 

 

Let me know how you get on and tag me at #wearethesocial with your posts, I’d love to see what you get up to.  Don’t forget I’ll be in the Facebook Group answering any questions you might have too.

Tomorrow, we’ll be doing a post on #sharethelove from a client of yours who loves what you do, along with the Canva Done For You graphic.

See you tomorrow!
