Social Media Advice I’d Give If I Wasn’t Afraid to Hurt Your Feelings

I love you. I promise I do. 

But you are making social media much harder than it needs to be. 

And because I care and I’ve seen so many smart and talented business owners slide into “I hate this app” territory, I’m about to dish out some tough love. 

Ready? Let’s go. 

Painful Truth #1: Consistency Is Better Than Perfection

Painstakingly designed posts mean nothing if you only show up once every six weeks. 

An okay post that goes up on a consistent basis is one million times better than flawless ones that never see the light of day because you are too busy picking the perfect shade of pink. 

Done and posted is better than perfect. 

Painful Truth #2: No One Is Reading Your 45-Slide Carousel

If your post has more slides than your senior year history presentation on Ancient Egypt, it’s time to cut back. 

People are scrolling at light-speed. Give them something quick and easily digestible. 

You aren’t writing a book. It’s Instagram. 

Painful Truth #3: If You Only Post When You’re Selling Something…People Notice 

Imagine if your friend only texted you to ask for money. 

That’s how your audience feels when you ghost for three months and come back only to promote your new product. 

Build the relationship before you need the sale. Share tips. Show your face. Be a whole human. Don’t just be pushy with your product. 

Painful Truth #4: Stop Ignoring Video. It’s Not Leaving.

Still hoping video is just a phase? Well… it’s not. 

Video builds trust fast and building community is about connecting. 

People want to hear your voice, see you, and know what it’s like to work with you. 

You don’t need a whole studio setup. You just need your face, voice, and a little courage. 

Painful Truth #5: You’re Not ‘Too Late’ or ‘Too Boring’ You’re Just Not Showing Up

I say this with so much love: You do not need to be an influencer. 

You need to be consistent, clear, and willing to show up. 

There are people making six figures from a niche you’d think would be too weird to work. 

You’re not too late or too boring. 

You just haven’t committed yet. 

Reassurance: You Don’t Have to Do Everything. Just Do Something Well

Let go of all the pressure to master every platform, go viral, or create content that looks like it came from a powerhouse marketing agency. 

Focus on one thing. Do it well and do it often. 

Need Help? I Got You.

If all this feels like way too much and you’re ready for someone to just tell you what to do. 

I’m your girl. This summer, my full social media strategy package is half off. 

Usually $499, now just $249 through August. 

We’ll build a no-fluff plan that works for you. 

Let this be your sign to stop overthinking and start showing up like the business owner you are. You don’t need to go viral. You just need to be visible. 

Ready? Let’s get to it.
