Social Media Suicide

I committed SOCIAL MEDIA SUICIDE!

Taking a month off from posting, engaging, sharing, liking.....that's death on social media. But there is a reason why I was away for so long.............

It's not a secret but hold up a sec.

Do you know what happens when you take a hiatus from social media?
1. Your engagement numbers drop
2. You lose followers
3. You don't stay relevant

ALL of the marketing Gurus and Influencers will tell you "Consistency is Key"!

So, now I have to play catch up, regain the trust of my followers, continue to engage, and rebuild my relevance, lol.

Now.......Time to share something with you that you may not already know.

I AM AN INTROVERT ENTREPRENUER! Also known as

What exactly does that mean? Being an introvert is tough enough, but being an introverted entrepreneur is a daily challenge. When people think about introverts, they think of words like:
1. Shy
2. Quiet
3. Timid
4. 5. Nerdy
5. Prefer to be alone

Listen, all of those do apply to me. I do need time to relax and recharge. Social media can be overwhelming for Introverts, however, once you learn how to manage it you can thrive!

What I have learned while evaluating and understaning what it means to be an Introverted Entreprenuer:
1.Introverts focus on creativity
2. Introverts make the best entreprenuers
3. Introverts focus on customer service
4. Introverts are reliable
5. Introverts are great leaders
6. Introverts are great planners
7. Introverts think first and react second
(This list goes on. You get the point though)
Being an introvert does not limit my success (just ask my clients) :)

Yes tribe, I've missed you!
Guess what..........
I'm BAAACCCKKKKKKKKKK!!!!

"Nah, I'm Good"

Wow! That Live just hit home. She really knows what I am struggling with. She's the one, she can help! Let me book a call.

(👆🏾Things potential clients say)

Umm, this ain't it! I mean, what is really going on? So unprofessional. I'll pass.....

(👆🏾 Things potential clients think)

You went Live on social media. Every single follower watched. That comment section was lit. Your message was amazing. You KNOW you were on 🔥. Your insights were through the roof.

So you wait, and wait, and wait, and start to wonder....... where are they? No consults, no subscribers, no sales, what happened?

This happened:

The woman you touched with your words, clicked your bio link -> went to schedule a call -> saw the real you -> lost interest -> found someone else to help them.

The "Real Me?"

(👆🏾Things you ask me)

Yes, the Real You!

Here's exactly what happened:

Client clicks that bio link -> client goes to your landing page -> landing page sucks -> client says "nah, I'm good" -> you lost the opportunity for a success story!

My landing page sucks?

(👆🏾 Things you don't believe)

Yep! It sucks! There is hope though.

Let me break it down. These are 5 things you missed.

1. Your message is not consistent with what your share on social media. In social media you r message is targeting one audience but your landing page does not reflect that. You don't continue the conversation and clearly state how you help.

2. You didn't add the personal touch. Where is your picture? How are people making the mental connection to you as a person? They have seen you on social, they like you, they want to work with you, but..... they don't see you guiding them to the sale.

3. You didn't showcase the benefits they recieve from working with you. I mean you captured their attention, the call is almost booked but they want a little more clarity on what they get it of choosing to work with you.

4. You forgot to highlight success stories. We all look at reviews before purchasing a product or service. It gives peace of mind to know that others vouch for you and your product. If your potential client even suspects for a moment that all this is too good to be true, you've lost them. They need hard evidence.

5. You didn't give a clear Call To Action. Listen, you have to lead your potential clients down the path you want them to take. Even if you checked all the boxes above, if you don't have a clear CTA leads can and will get lost. There is nothing worse than being excited to buy something and not having clear instructions on how to complete the purchase.

Experiencing a moment of clarity? Starting to believe me when I say, your landing page sucks?

What are you going to do about it?

🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Cha-Ching: More coins in the bag

You know it feels when you receive a notification that a customer has purchased a product from your website!

You hear that mental cha-ching sound that a cash register makes and you start adding those coins to your available balance.

I mean, that is part of the reason you decided to start selling your products in the first place. You created an online store to sell products that you are passionate about, right? You definitely know you have a product that people need. You've made sure you have set your products at the correct price point.

Sooooooooooooo..............................

You start wondering:
- Why don't I hear that mental cha-ching more often?
- How come people say they are going to buy but don't?
- Will they become a repeat customer?

As a business owner, these questions will always linger but fear not!
Here are a few things you can do to convert leads into sales, increase repeat customers and build that bank account.

Product to Purchase: Make sure that customer flow is smooth. Your website is meant to successfully guide your customer from finding the ideal product to complete the purchase. Having a site that makes this process difficult will reduce sales and guarantee that customer never comes back to your site again.

Reduce Overwhelm - Nowadays, customers expect the upsell at some point during their visit to your website. I mean, come on, as a business owner, you are not making the right move if you are not attempting to bring visibility to more products and increase the amount of each individual sale. However, there is a right and wrong way to do this. Don't bombard the customer with products to upsell that are not relevant to what they are looking for on your site.

Add a personal touch - imagine being able to visit an online shop and feel like you are in a physical store. When you walk in, someone smiles and greets you. While you are browsing, someone offers to help and provides suggestions. There is a salesperson present to answer any questions you have.

Running an online shop is not an easy task. Not only do you have to think about the big picture, but you also have to add those small, special touches that make customers rave about your products.

Your online shop is not for you.
Your online shop is for your customers.

Design with them in mind!

Oh, wait..........................cha-ching! You just made another sale!

Why buy a house when you can get the mansion?

............DIGITAL REAL ESTATE..............

Social media dominates so much of our lives that we forget the internet exists. Your reach could be so much further if you developed your digital real estate.
🕍🕍

You have probably heard me mention that term before and here's why:

1. Social media is just one piece of the 🧩
2. Your online presence consists of more moving parts than just your Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or LinkedIn. 🗣
3. Your business is represented online primarily by your website. 👩🏽‍💻
4. Your brand is the foundation on which your business is built. 🌍

Let me break it down. Everyone has a piece of land on the web. 🌐

Your domain (web address) is the land that your business will be built on. 🏖

Your website can make or break how people perceive your business.

If you had a choice, would you want a 🏠 or a 🕍?

When people visit your neighborhood, does your home entice them to want to buy what you are selling? Does it have curb appeal? 😕

Don't get me wrong, your website matters but not only do you have a mansion, you have property. 🏞

The property you own needs to be maintained.

Social media is the driveway🛣 to your home, your communications 🎙📱🖥⌨📹📩 tools are your landscape, blogs are your swimming pool🏊🏽‍♂️, and Google👀 puts you on the map 🗺.

So many factors contribute to your know, like, and trust factor, so why not make the most of it.

Cultivating your digital real estate can transform your business.

I will be honest and say, it is not easy. Building your mansion takes time and money. Upkeep is necessary for your continued success.

Outshine the rest of the houses on your block. Hire a professional that will help you design, build and maintain a digital solution for the success of your business.

Not sure how? I got you!

Allow me to reintroduce myself......

Hey yall hey!

There is always room for improvement and I am sure as I move along these posts will get better, lol. I read a ton of articles and scraped a million lines of text before I decided to just go for it. I realized its easy to talk about the things you know.

There are so many reasons that I decided it was time to launch my blog. Top of the list is my desire to help other business owners thrive by sharing my knowledge and expertise about technology and business.

As a small business owner, I struggle on a daily basis to balance it all and continue to grow and be successful. I want to share my journey with the hope that it will inspire and motivate others to keep pushing to success.

I have worked with small businesses and solopreneurs for over 10 years, helping them grow their presence on the web. My passion is providing services to those like myself who are trying to build successful businesses.

As I evolve as a business owner and truly understand my purpose, I continue to grow my brand; Wonderfully Made. Wonderfully Made is a web design and branding agency. I love working with E-commerce businesses, Coaches and Fitness experts to showcase their products and services on the web.

Productivity Hack - Pomodoro Technique

Pomo-what? Pomodoro, like a 🍅. It is a time management technique used to increase productivity and track the length of time your tasks take.

Words from Clients

Guess what my client just said to me!!!!!!! 🙄🙄🙄

Client:
1. "I need me site to go-live tonight so I can start making money!

2. "I have given this a lot of thought and I am not sure you can handle maintenance on my site because you have a lot going on."

3. "I don't think you can justify charging this much for maintenance since you can't handle the workload."

.............................................
Take a look at the cover image for this post. Now it should have some context.

I don't know whether to be baffled, angry, sad, or nonchalant.

At the end of it all, after a rant on IG and some words of encouragement, I will leave you with this:

1. It is ok to 🔥📛 a client!

2. Don't let anyone tell you what you are capable of. 🤬🤬

3. Remember your worth!! Don't let anyone dictate your prices! 🤑💰💰

3. A little pettiness ain't never hurt nobody!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
