Social media moves fast. Real fast. On top of that, algorithms are now structured in a way that significantly hinders the impact of your organic content as a business page.
While we can get behind the intentions – to provide a more engaging and valuable experience for users – it can be a pain the ass for small businesses to constantly stay up to date on the ever-changing rules.
So, how do you cut through the clutter and tricky algorithms to get in front of people?
The number one way is your content. If you are creating and sharing engaging content, it’ll perform well. Here are a few blog posts from our archives that might help you with that:

Beyond the actual content, the timing of when you share it is another important tool in your toolbox. Here are some do’s and don’ts around when to post on popular platforms.
(If you don’t feel like reading the rest, here is a handy PDF cheat sheet –download and save it for later, or share it with a friend!)

Facebook

Do post: Later in the week and over the weekend, typically during the afternoon
Don’t post: on Tuesdays

Twitter

Do post: A LOT. Twitter moves the quickest of them all; quantity is important. However, weekdays over the lunch hour generally work the best.
Don’t post: on the weekends

LinkedIn

Do post: in the middle of the week (Tuesday – Thursday specifically) and during business hours (10-11am in particular)
Don’t post: on the weekends

Instagram

Do post: during the week, and typically later in the evening (7-9pm)
Don’t post: on Sundays, or during happy hour

Employers think Gen Z is lazy, entitled, and will quit the second things get hard. That perception is keeping you out of the room before you ever get a chance to prove otherwise.

The good news is, you can flip the script, but it will take some serious work and a personal brand, or as Kim Bode refers to it: Big Deal Energy™.

Kim is speaking at theProject™ Collegiate Event, hosted by the Project Management Institute Western Michigan Chapter on April 14. She`ll cover how to build a personal brand that actually sounds like you (not ChatGPT) and how you can show your value through social, content and networking.

No one talks about how lonely it is to own a business. The tough decisions land on you, the business doesn`t pause when you need a break, and nobody - not your employees or your spouse - really gets it.

If you know a business owner, tell them they`re doing a good job. It matters more than you know.

The growth stage is the hardest part of building a business.

Kim was recently quoted in @corpmagazine on what she sees running the Women`s Entrepreneurial Fellowship: women who have built something, survived the hardest part, and are still doing everything themselves. The natural tendency to be humble and attached to their work creates unique business challenges for women; they put up walls because they can`t be vulnerable.

Meanwhile, when a woman CEO needs growth capital, she compiles three years of tax returns before a bank will schedule a meeting, while her male competitor closes the same deal over drinks.

When women have access to the right resources, they grow and invest back. Full article at the link in bio.
