September is the last month of Q3. I’ve got to think of some goals for my biz to try and achieve. Any ideas???

Welcome to the ber months! 🍂

I’ve never been a hustler…

But when your income depends on you being a hustler you have to swallow the discomfort and do it anyway.

SOME PEOPLE WAIT A LIFETIME FOR A MOMENT LIKE THIS 🎃

Yes, I’m obsessed with pumpkin spice. But since my metabolism isn’t what it used to be when this flavor first debuted, I figured out a way to enjoy it without the debilitating calories of a regular PSL (380 for a grande 🫠).

My @starbucks healthy recipe hack is only 110 calories and still tastes like you’re drinking the famed beverage.

Try it my way and tell me if it isn’t just as good!

But I DIDN’T use it for…

this post 😜

I try very hard to be judicious about using Chat GPT. But sometimes there is no better way! Using it for these tasks is such a time-saver and I can move on quickly to the next task.

Do you have stagnant views from non-followers? Then use this easy reel template to get in front of more people.

1. Choose a five second b-roll of you doing something simple.

2. Use the prompt: I’ve been (doing this) for (# of years) and just now realized that this is the (adjective) advice I’ve ever received.

3. Explain the advice in your caption.

Try it out and tell me how many views you get!

I’m OWNING Google Ads 💪

It’s taken a lot of relearning and research but we’ve come a long way getting my clients’ Google Ads in a stronger place.

I realized a lot of the ads were missing elements, the keywords needed auditing and the targeting could be better.

So we hatched a plan and are still tweaking the approach, but it has come a long way!

If you have a product-based business, Google Ads should definitely be a part of your marketing strategy! People are searching for what you offer.

WHAT A WEEK 🤩 read more…

I was in Dublin visiting my sister and meeting with a client where we talked about a lot of exciting opportunities to grow their business.

When I got home my body was so out of whack. So I’ve done a total reset by prioritizing exercise before I do any work for the day and also eating high protein, high fiber meals.

Then to finish off the week, I reconnected with a lead from earlier this summer and sent over a contract yesterday.

I am booked and busy, strong and sure. Ready to keep the momentum going ✌️

THESE ARE ACTUAL TEXTS IN MY PHONE 🤦‍♀️

Now a mom, business owner, millennial and almost 40…I’m clinging to cool.

“Let me tell you about the audiobook I just finished!”

“Can you tell me the Hulu tv code in your inbox?”

“I’m in a wine and vintage clothing store 🥰”

“I got Unisom and a window seat so hopefully I will actually sleep on the plane.”

“I prefer steamers because they’re easier and way less risk of burning clothes.”

“It doesn’t seem like they’re running any Meta ads according to Facebook Ads Library.”

What’s something you texted recently that would give your younger self the ick?

Who is your favorite Gilmore Girls character and why is it Emily?

When I think of the upcoming fall season, I can’t help but want to binge-watch copious episodes of the Gilmore girls.

Lorelei is a working mom, loves coffee and has a no BS approach to how she raises Rory, I think a lot of us can deeply relate to.

She wanted something more for herself, so she built it alongside her best friend Suki. Who among us doesn’t find that inspiring?

Share one of these quotes to your stories to spread that Gilmore girls energy today.

Imagine this…

you dread creating Meta ads because it feels like you need to make so many different versions to fit all of the various placements that they offer.

So you avoid doing them at all costs and forfeit any of the traction you might gain from them to build your small business.

But I’ve been doing this long enough now that there are really only two sizes that you need to get the type of results that will help you with conversions, awareness, engagement, etc.

☘️ 1080x1920 or 9:16

You’ll use this for reels and Facebook stories and lots of other places where video content is most prevalent.

☘️ 1080x1080 or 1:1

This size is mostly used in Facebook and Messenger placements. There is one placement that *has* to be an image in this size.

Save yourself a lot of headache and just make these two sizes! Need more help? Comment below and then follow @meganomarketing ❤️

Is there anything worse…

than feeling like you’re doing everything you can possibly think of, but you’re not getting the conversions you desperately need?

You may think the only way to get more sales for your small business is to run ads. I have a few different ideas for marketing yourself without having to spend the money on ads just yet.

1. Volunteer in your community: when you meet new people it opens a natural door to tell someone about yourself and your business. They may even pass it along to their friends.

✨I just got a new client lead from something I’m volunteering for!

2. Ask the friend who knows everyone to connect you with their network: it can’t ever hurt to meet with a friend of a friend for coffee to see how they could help you with your business. Maybe they can collaborate with you or introduce you to someone else they know.

✨I had a coffee date through a mutual friend that opened up a whole new industry of connections.

3. Do your research: chances are there is a piece of the puzzle you’re missing in your DIY marketing. Whether it’s not hitting your target’s true pain points or your keywords being off, take a step back or take a free course to learn something new.

✨I took a Google Ads beginner’s course and realized my clients existing ad campaigns were missing a bunch of elements!

Who else has done this?? 🤣

You’re working from home and no more Zoom meetings with cameras on so you do your thing and get comfy. Maybe you have your red light mask on or no bra.

Then you see how nice it is outside and think, “I could run a couple errands, stroll the neighborhood, whatever I want!” But you get a peek at yourself before you leave the house and 😱

Sure I care WAY less about what I look like nowadays - I hardly ever wear makeup anymore - but I can’t very well go out with my special hair air drying combs and not get a few raised eyebrows.

One of the perks of entrepreneur life is looking however you want…until you need to leave home 😎

If there’s one thing I know it’s…

Fall. I love everything about it: sweaters, leaves, pumpkin spice, my birthday, amazing movie releases, Thanksgiving.

So when I started working on this ad, my little heart swelled thinking about all the different facets of fall.

This Meta ad came together so wonderfully and it’s backed by solid strategy, which is even better. It’s still performing really well!

Your small business’ marketing efforts only work if you’re putting the puzzle pieces together properly.

Don’t know where to start? DM me and I’ll help kick you off.

I’m going to help you crack the code 👇

DIY marketing is only going to get you so far. There are so many facets of it that even professional marketers - like me - learn on the daily.

What you should learn about right now is: keywords. Small business owners can now get in front of their audience with this latest algorithm update.

Think of keywords as a matching card game. Your audience has one set and you have to flip them over to find the match. Then your content gets in front of them.

Finding out your keywords requires some testing so I made a free spreadsheet where you can track it all. DM me for the link!

#socialmediamarketing #instagramforbusiness #socialmediamarketingtips #diymarketing #seo

So what is it that you’re not doing?👇

USING THE RIGHT KEYWORDS!

Your audience is typing words into Google search and now Google + Instagram want to match those words with the words you’re using in your content.

Small businesses need to know this so their advertising can be effective and convert. Your DIY marketing strategy can work, but only if you know what your target is looking for.

Learn how to track and test your keywords with my FREE, easy to use tracker. DM me for deets ❤️

#socialmediamarketing #instagramforbusiness #socialmediamarketingtips #socialmediatips

I’ve been testing this lately and…

things are changing 🧪

Part of the algorithm for Instagram growth is using the words that your audience is searching for. It’s like a matching card game!

Your small business advertising NEEDS to include your best-performing keywords in order to be found. And they should be everywhere: social, website, ads, etc.

Don’t know how to get started? I’ll DM you a FREE keyword template to track and test.

This might be controversial but…

I hate working from home. Are you similar? There are so many distractions, and other things I can do besides focus on work.

I’m so much more productive when I work at the library, bakery or even a friend’s house. Plus, I try to support local businesses in my community when I venture out.

Tell this to yourself this week and kick some butt!

#motivationmondays #motivationalquotes

Does anxiety render you unable to choose what to do next in your never-ending lists of tasks? That’s called choice paralysis. I get it pretty often when work and life pile up (like today) #smallbusinesslife

To calm myself back down I do these three things:

1. Make a cup of coffee
2. Get in bed
3. Read a book

I have to completely stop my momentum of anxiety spiral in order come back to the present. You don’t have to do what I do, but think of a three-step routine you can implement when the world gets too crazy.

TRUTH TIME!

When you have friends in your same industry, you want to see how your work measures up to theirs. Sometimes it can push you to do better and sometimes it can make you feel like a piece of 💩.

Social media can play tricks on our self-worth. I have to remind myself that there will always be someone doing things differently and better than me. It only matter if I am proud of my OWN work.

Xx

Work-life balance is a MYTH…here’s why:

I’ve never been busier - hanging out with friends, booked and busy with client work, joining a commission in my community, signing up for a marathon - and more fulfilled.

That’s one of the beauties and blessings of running your own business. I’m never not grateful to have a more flexible schedule than most.

💕 Summer should be fun!

We deserve breaks!
We deserve rest!
We deserve treats!

We work hard to live the life we want. Small business life is worth it. Your work is worth it. You’re worth it!

(Sorry, I’m full of positivity after vacation. Check back in a week 🙃)

#vacaymode #summer #worklifebalanced #smallbusinessowner #womeninbusiness

At least that’s what I’ll tell myself until my credit card statement hits.

Running a small business and being a solopreneur has its daily challenges so when you have a chance to enjoy that success you have to grab it by the reins and ride!

#smallbusinessowner #instagramforbusiness #shoppingspree #nantucket #nantucketstyle #walkingaround #smallbusinesslife

Which one are you??

#july #goals #newmonthnewgoals #newmonthvibes #summervibes☀️ #girlboss

There are so many negative thoughts that make me doubt myself. But then something will happen that makes the negative self-talk stfu.

We’re all doing the best we can running our small businesses, lives, homes, families, etc. So don’t forget to give yourself a pep talk every now and again.

What’s your version of “How silly of me to…”? I’d love to read them in the comments.

Have you ever wondered what goes into prepping for a video shoot? It’s harder than you expect!

I recently made an unboxing video for a client so I documented my whole process.

#socialmediamarketing #instagramforbusiness #mompreneur #videoshoot #instagrammarketing

Reminder for when you’re disappointed that something you made didn’t get the attention it deserves 💕

We’re still mentally stuck on “going viral” = success. This really only matters if your business depends on ad deals.

If you’re selling a product or service, it’s more important to reach your target audience > everyone on Instagram.

Don’t forget: the point of social media / small businesses is to build relationships.

A manager once told me: people will only think you’re available if you’re available.

🤯🤯🤯

So if you’re answering emails or Slacks or whatever at 10pm, people will think they can get an answer from you at 10pm. It took me YEARS to truly appreciate what he meant when he shared it.

Small business owners think they have to be available at all hours or else the ship will go down. Sure you may be putting in more than what’s required to get it up and running, but protect your peace by not feeling guilty about responding right away.

How do you protect your peace as a SBO?

I may have some weird multitasking tasks, but I have a lot of content to consume and very little time to do it!

I don’t do well with silence in the background or time that’s not filled with something. Not sure what this says about me and my brain 😬

Raise your hand if you do the same!

This trend was so fun to make. It was a little hard to line up the transitions with the beat drop, but the Edits app made it super easy to shorten the clips.

Every day I wear so many hats, but lately I’ve been in business woman mode with one client keeping me super busy and a new one on the horizon.

Also, am I the only one who still actually likes this song? Such a throwback!
