What is social media?

It's not just cat videos and vacation pics. It's a vibrant, dynamic ecosystem where entrepreneurs can connect with their target audience, build brand awareness, and drive sales. But with so many platforms and strategies, how do you navigate it all? Enter social media content buckets, your secret weapon for organized, impactful marketing.

Think of content buckets like thematic baskets for your social media posts. Each bucket focuses on a specific aspect of your brand or industry. I recommend the following as a starting place that works for almost any business or non-profit: 

• Promote
• Entertain
• Educate
• Inspire
• Add Value

Sharing a variety of content from each of these content buckets or content pillars keeps your content fresh, engaging, and aligned with your overall social media content strategy, your core message or value proposition.

Planning is Key

Create a social media content calendar 2024 that maps out your buckets and posts for the year. This ensures consistency and avoids last-minute scrambles. Remember, organic marketing is a marathon, not a sprint. Building a loyal following takes time and dedicated effort. If you are just starting out, in need of ideas, short on time, or need a boost of marketing confidence, you can get my 2024 social media content calendar and bonus content for a song!

Authentic marketing is the magic sauce. Inject your brand's unique personality into your content. Share your story, showcase your expertise, and engage in genuine conversations. People connect with humans, not faceless corporations.

Hiring a social media manager can be a game-changer. They'll handle the day-to-day tasks, freeing you to focus on your core business. But remember, you're the captain of your ship. Stay involved, provide direction, and leverage your entrepreneurial spirit to make your social media marketing truly soar.

Small business marketing doesn't have to be a budget-breaking affair. Social media levels the playing field, allowing you to compete with the big boys. So, grab your buckets, build your strategy, and start creating!

Remember:

• Social media is a powerful tool for entrepreneurs.
• Content buckets and a content calendar keep you organized.
• Authentic marketing builds trust and engagement.
• Hiring a social media manager can free up your time.
• Small businesses can thrive on social media.

Get out there and start building your social media empire!
