Marketing yourself and your brand can be really challenging. But social media can help. On this episode of Follow The Profit, Host David Grosso chats with the co-founder of Super Connector Media Jen Gottlieb about new ways to use social media to grow an audience.
Clarity is key.
“The first step is to get clear on where your audience is and where you want to be,” Gottlieb said. “The more clear you are, the more confident you are, and the faster you will get to where you want to be.” She explained that you have to know where they are to target your message to the right audience. What are they listening to, reading or watching?
Don’t underestimate the power of local exposure.
Local news is a stepping stone to becoming an expert in your community. Gottlieb noted that in today’s video-call business culture, “you could literally be on any local news station in the entire country from your living room right now.” She encourages folks to take a chance and take advantage of those local opportunities.
Social media is a marketing tool.
Gottlieb understands the value of social media in marketing one’s brand. Sharing the harder moments and social media can be a great way to build a real relationship with your audience. “There are so many ways to be able to connect deeper by sharing more of the messy parts of your life,” she said. Authenticity is important to your audience.
