STEP 1: Choose a platform that works for you
- Instagram: Works as the “digital business card” – ideal for your first intro of business.
- TikTok: Personal brand driven and places a high emphasis on personality – focuses mainly on who you are and what your brand is.
- Pinterest: Ideal for sharing your visual ideas and organizing/curating them in one place.
- Twitter: Heavily text based, ideal for more copy driven marketing.
STEP 2: Choose two platforms that you’d like to conquer
- When choosing a platform, remember your strengths. Choose a platform you can show up consistently on!
- If you already have a following on a platform, optimize it! Using the platforms you already succeed on will help you engage and scale your audience.
- Make sure to diversify your content based on each platform you use.
- Ex: Use LinkedIn for press & career developments, and Reels/TikTok for bite-sized educational content.

That’s it! Don’t forget some of these pro tips as well…
- Stay consistent in your posting.
- Create AND consume content – stay connected and engaged with other people in your network.
- Pay attention to what works for other people! Compile inspiration to draw from when things feel slow.
- Make sure your brand interacts with people – your ideal target customer is already following you, but they haven’t necessarily seen the thing that’s going to draw them in.
- Imagine your ideal customer base/character: who are they on social platforms? Pay attention to their psychographics, then sort how you can get more of them. Show up in the spaces that they resonate with.
