Good morning! How is this month treating you? Any new blogging or business ventures? I’ve been working on a design studio and I am anxious to get it launched already. Apparently there’s this nit-picky perfectionist inside of me who needs to keep working on the details for a while longer. :)
If there’s one blogging practice I need to work on a little more, it’s engaging in social media. I tend to use it for personal reasons more than business-y reasons. This week I gathered up some tips that are inspiring me to be more intentional with social media as it relates to blogging and business.
1. The Well has a detailed guide to organizing your social media. They cover several topics including studying analytics and scheduling your posts. Super helpful! There’s a free downloadable workshop in there too.
2. I’m one of those people who rolls her eyes at Facebook but secretly finds it really helpful. This year I’ve joined a couple of Facebook groups for entrepreneurs and I’ve made amazing friendships and even business connections! Here is a lovely post by Nesha Designs about how you can get clients from Facebook groups.
3. Amber wrote an awesome post about writing the perfect social media bio! It’s always so much more difficult to write than you’d think. And so awkward! Amber includes a simple list of questions to answer in your bio. Going to be using these for sure.
4. Love these tips from Chloe Social about having consistent branding throughout your social media accounts. So spot on.
Enjoy these reads and have a happy weekend!

Engaging on social media is something I need to work on as well. For me it’s usually a time thing because I feel like I can’t take the time to find other likeminded people and connect when there’s homework to be done, meetings to attend, blog posts to write, the list goes on! I will take a look at these posts and hopefully improve :)

I am SO bad a social media. I just never think to use it but with a new blog it can be so necessary! It’s definitely on my list of things to focus on next month.

Thanks for a great round up of articles, I’ve tried to click the first link but it takes me to a site that says it’s closed its doors :( I think it may be the wrong link! Thx

Oh no, it looks like that blog decided to take down their website. That’s too bad they didn’t keep their archives up. We’ll be on the lookout for more social media resources to post about in the future. Thanks for letting us know Krista!
