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.

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.

I can also show you the step-by-step, three-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.
