Watch the Full Episode

Getting Comfortable on Social Media

  • You can connect with a lot of different people through social media.
  • Instill empathy into social posts. Go out to the shops, see the field, and take pictures. That will show more and be more meaningful.
  • By posting on social media, you are opening the doors to get more people interested in the industry.
  • Social media can be intimidating, but it is too powerful of a tool to not be utilizing.

Creating Consistent, Nonrepetitive Content

  • Always look for a hook, or impact to get more people to understand what it is like in the industry.
  • The goal is to reach someone who maybe never considered this field.
  • Open as many doors as humanly possible. As long as there is quality, quantity becomes the most important thing when it comes to social media.
  • You never know what your impact could be on social media or where it could lead you, but if you’re not posting, your impact will be zero.
  • Start with an idea, and then make a post about it. Don’t try to force content.

Be Authentic in Your Content

  • Document, don’t create. Document your journey and what you’re doing.
  • When it’s real authentic content, it will hit home with people.
  • Social media allows you to build your own brand, and do so with integrity.
  • As people see your social posts, you’ll slowly earn their trust.

Boost Your Shop’s Reach and Help Promote the Industry through Social Media
