Avoid Social Media Trap

September 13, 2017 by Childbirth Professionals

Social media may help your birth business, however, it can also have a neutral effect, not really translating into increased revenue, and consuming oodles of your time.  It is okay to opt out of social media or use it sparingly, but don’t tell Mark Zuckerberg.

You want to gauge if social media works for your birth business.  Start by asking, “What should my business gain through social media?”

  • More customers
  • Increased exposure
  • Build a community
  • Increase sales
  • Promote your message
  • Fill in the blank _________________

Once you figure out what you hope to gain from social media, then focus on the social media tools that will fit your goals.  It is okay to pick just one tool such as Twitter or Pinterest.

Being effective in one community is more powerful, than joining several and not finding your voice.
