is your social media waving red flags? 🚩
We’ve all been there—swiping through social media and stumbling upon posts that make us think, “Yikes, that’s a red flag.”
But did you know that your social media might be waving one of those red flags too? If your engagement is low or you’re struggling to book clients or get bookings, it might be time for a little check-up.
Let’s dive into some common social media red flags and how you can turn them around—because your socials should be working for you, not against you!
🚩 1. inconsistent… posting
Imagine making plans with a ‘friend’, only for them to cancel every time. It gets old, right?
Well, inconsistent posting on your social media has the same effect. When you’re posting sporadically, your audience starts to wonder if they can rely on you. Consistency is key when it comes to social media—it helps you stay top of mind, build trust, and show that you’re serious about your brand.
Solution: Create a content calendar to plan out your posts in advance. This way, you’ll maintain a steady rhythm and your followers will know when to expect fresh content from you.
🚩 2. ignoring… comments
Not responding to comments is a huge red flag. It’s like going on a great date and then completely ghosting the person after.
People want to feel seen and heard. If your audience comments on your content, don’t leave them hanging!
Solution: Make engagement a priority, it can help you build genuine connections! Show your followers that you care, and they’ll be more likely to engage with your brand.
🚩 3. no long term plan
If your posts are random, with no direction or clear goals, it’s like going on a date without a plan. It’s fun, but where’s it going? Without a long-term strategy, your social media presence can feel aimless.
A clear strategy not only keeps your content on track but also helps you hit your business goals—whether that’s more bookings, increased brand awareness, or building that client base…
Solution: Set clear goals for your social media and create a content plan that aligns with them. Whether it’s boosting bookings, growing your email list, or simply engaging with your audience, a strategy will help you stay focused and intentional.
🚩 4. over-promising and under-delivering
We’ve all been let down when someone promises they’ll be there or they’ll do something, only to let you down last minute….
It’s frustrating, right? The same goes for your social media. If you’re over-promising things you can’t deliver, you’ll quickly lose your audience’s trust.
Solution: Be authentic and transparent. If you can’t post every day, don’t promise to. If you say you’ll respond to comments, make sure you do. Your audience will respect your consistency.
🚩 5. ghosting your inbox
Your inbox is full of messages—potential clients asking questions, interested followers, and even people just looking for advice.
Ignoring them is like not replying to someone after a date. Not only does it leave people feeling unimportant, but it also means you’re missing out on valuable opportunities to connect and convert.
Solution: Don’t let your inbox collect dust. Set aside time each day to respond to DMs and comments. Whether it’s answering a quick question or just saying thank you, engaging with your audience shows that you care and helps you build meaningful relationships.
