#16 Build a loyal fanbase

Beautiful! Guess what? We’ve gone international!

Please give a warm welcome to our first American Mum (or Mom as our US friends say) Jennifer Berson, Founder of Jeneration PR & Mum of 2 from LA. This year, Jen celebrates her 10th Birthday of being in business – what an incredible achievement.

Lawyer to Entrepreneur – I love her story. She took a risk and left behind a well paid legal career to work for free to prove to companies that she could successfully promote their business. 10 years later and Jen has created a successful PR business around her children.

HOW TO BUILD A FANBASE ON INSTAGRAM

Instagram is a great opportunity to give customers a behind the scenes look into your business & be emotionally connected to your brand

  • Think of your account as a mini magazine of your business

 

  • Have a similar look & feel with the filters that you use

 

  • Use photo editing tools – many of them free to download as an app on your phone

 

  • In order to build a fanbase you really need to post daily – Max of 3 times per day

 

  • Get involved in hashtags i.e on Mondays use #MotivationalMonday and post a brand appropriate image. This is one I have posted

I LOVE THE EXAMPLE JEN GAVE

If you have a cake business and you burn one of cakes – take a picture and write on it ‘Try, try and try again’ this would work great for the hashtag #MotivationalMonday AND it feeds into your business marketing

 

HOW TO BUILD A FANBASE

  • Always respond to comments – positive and negative
  • Comment on social media accounts of other businesses, bloggers and influencers
  • Offer customers discounts, giveaways and contests as a reward for following you on social media.

 

PLEASE REMEMBER THIS WHEN IT COMES TO SOCIAL MEDIA
RE PURPOSE YOUR CONTENT!

Write a blog post then re-use the content on social media. For example, if you’ve written 5 tips – put a tip each day on Instagram, make a image and put it on Pinterest, tweet the different tips

 

RESOURCES MENTIONED

  • Word Swag – App that creates images for Social Media easily
  • Canva – Create beautiful images (my biggest secret!)

 

THANK YOU so much to Jen for sharing her invaluable tips on how to build a fanbase – I just loved her honesty and I hope you are buzzing full of ideas and inspiration about what you can do on social media.
