  • (STRATEGY WITH MEG) Picking The Right Social Media Platforms For Your Niche

    A big reminder: your business is NOT one social media platform.

    AKA, your business is NOT Instagram.

    Your business is NOT TikTok.

    Your business is NOT LinkedIn.

    Those are platforms you use to MARKET your business, but that’s it. So it’s SUPER important to not only have more than one to rely on for marketing purposes (since putting all your eggs into one basket is dangerous no matter what we’re talking about), but to also reach more people.

    In this episode I’m helping you figure out which you should dive into FIRST to really optimize before adding on a second.

    The three questions I’ll dive into (before I go into specifics about each platform) are


    Where do your ideal clients hang out the most?

    Where are your ideal clients searching for help when it comes to the topic of your offer?

    Where do YOU like to hang out?/Where can you produce the most consistent content?

    If you’re ready for hands-on guidance with producing consistent content that actually brings in clients AND how to disperse it on the different platforms, check out Unique Content Camp below!

  • Man
this was a YEAR. This year I experienced the lowest of lows and the highest of highs, all within a few weeks of each other. To say it’s been hard and horrible while also incredibly joyous and fulfilling sounds confusing, but that’s exactly what it was.

    And in this reflective episode I’m sharing it all: the good, the bad, and the ugly. I was able to bottle it down to ten major learning lessons from 2023 (both business and personal included).

    I’d LOVE to hear from you: which of these ten did you resonate with the most? Send me a DM on Instagram and let me know.

    I hope you have a beautiful and safe Holiday season and New Year and I’ll see ya
next year ;)
