I have a great show for you today. My guest is Lyndsay Phillips from Smart Sailing Business Growth. Today we’re going to dive into using social media to grow your REI business.

Have you ever found yourself hopping on Facebook to post something that will build your brand and (hopefully) benefit your business, then 45 minutes later you are sitting there watching cute kitten videos?

Guilty!

It’s so easy to get distracted on social media. But here’s what you need to understand; social media is powerful for growing your business and your brand AND it’s free!  The trick is to learn how to use it strategically so that you’re not spending a lot of time on it.

What’s in it for you?

Exposure.  People will get to know you and what you do.

If you don’t consider yourself to be a content creator; that is a blogger, a podcaster or even a person that routinely creates videos, we're going to have some suggestions for you on how to take advantage these platforms. Using social media for growing your REI business is necessary, but it pays back big dividends.

So, what types of things you can post even if you’re not a content creator?  We’re going to have some suggestions for you in this show.

Remember that people do business with people they know like and trust …. not businesses.  It’s important for people to get to know YOU.  That means it’s not only OK to post personal things, but it’s actually necessary as you build your business and your brand.
