Quick question for the small business owner out there—



If I whip out my phone and search for your small business, what pops up? 

A: Visibility! An eye-catching digital billboard.
B. Um … it kinda looks like the lights are off.

Here’s some tough love: You’re working way too hard on your small business to allow Google to choose what people see (or don't see).

If that hits, keep reading…

From a flower shop to a dry cleaner or independent coffee shop, 

every small business represents someone’s dream.

Time for some REAL talk:

For the average small business owner, social media is either an afterthought or algorithmic nightmare.

  • It's a maze of platforms and too many choices – cue the decision atrophy!
  • Figuring our what content to post and when to post – 5 days a week? 3? Video, carousel, or static image?
  • You know you need “engagement” (you're smart – you know that's more important than a follower count vanity metric) but HOW do I do it?
  • Updates and trends and memes, oh my! These software companies never stop iterating the product. Or what the algorithm favors. #exhaustion

  • PHEW! But you know all that. You've lived it!

Here’s what you may *not* know …

77% of small businesses (like you!) are using social media for sales, marketing, and customer service …
Yet only 32% engage with their audience daily. 

And engagement is THE most important thing on social media now.

This is what you'll learn…

Embrace engagement

Move from random acts of posting to a strategic presence that grows your brand.

Drive sales

Learn to convert followers into customers.

Build a community

Create a loyal, engaged audience that champions your brand and buys from you.


Mastering social media…

can significantly enhance customer engagement and drive business growth. 


The problem is, a lot of the education out there about this stuff is created by folks who’ve only been monitoring things for a few years … 🤦🏼‍♀️ and don’t have the practicum experience of testing in the lab of real small businesses.


This isn’t another 30-day Reels challenge or your to-do list of choreography to learn for TikTok. 
You don’t need that. 😉 Instead, you need a strategic marketing plan that works for your business.

Take it from a social media expert who’s worked with brands like Canva, Audi, PooPouri, & TJ Maxx—and 10,000+ small businesses like you:

Social media doesn’t have to be a hamster wheel.

And, I can show you the step-by-step, 3-part system for selling your products on social media and nailing that engagement… so you can reach your ideal customers, grow a loyal following, and, most importantly, make the sales your business deserves.

Some tough love: either you market your small business, or it fails.

Tucked in the pages of The Art of Small Business Social Media, you’ll find the entire marketing blueprint to shaping your digital billboard (even if you’re just getting started)—

  • Step into the role of a confident digital entrepreneur with clarity and ease using my proven 3-part social media success system.
  • Discover the joy of connecting with your target audience authentically as you discover how to reach your ideal customer.
  • Learn how to turn likes and shares into sales and loyalty, thanks to tried-and-true experience pulled from working with start-ups and big brands.
  • How to craft a social media presence that reflects the heart of your small business, like I helped Canva do in their early, sleepy stages before they crushed the competition.
  • Overwhelmed by the choices? Learn to navigate various platforms and find where your audience truly engages.
  • Content creation chaos? Get a grip on crafting messages that resonate, not just add to the noise.
  • Analytics Anxiety? Turn daunting data into actionable insights for strategic decisions.
  • Engagement Woes? Master the art of meaningful interaction, transforming passive followers into active brand advocates.
