If consistency is key...what's the key to that?

Have you found yourself looking for tips for your social media page only to end up feeling a balloon from last year's birthday party? How often have you seen the phrase "consistency is key!"

That's all great in theory, but how do you actually make that happen? Especially if you don't have the budget to hire someone to manage your social media for you.

Here are our tips:

1. Pick one day each month to work on your social media. Block time in your calendar, treat yourself to a nice cup of coffee or tea or bubbly water...or plain water if you're boring... and go in with the intention of creating all of your posts in one go.

2. Choose a theme for the month. Could be niche specific like Tantrums, Back To School, Parenting with a Partner or it could be time specific like New Beginnings for January, Love for February, etc. This will help you focus your writing and generate ideas if you start with an overarching plan.

3. Use a tool like Canva that will allow you to make the images, write the text, schedule your posts, and post to your social media accounts all in one place. (not sponsored, but Canva has a pretty sweet free version)

4. We already mentioned this one, but schedule your posts. It would be a bummer to spend all that time creating your content and then forget to post...

If you want to get real fancy, you can start looking into your analytics and see what the best time to post for your audience is...but we wouldn't be too worried about that. Just get your voice out there!

5. Don't forget to interact with your audience. If you can remember, get into the habit of interacting with other people's content after you've posted. You can search some of the hashtags you've used, see what your followers are up to, or take the time to visit the profiles of people who like and comment on your content.

Does this STILL sound like a lot of work? What if we could cut out steps 1-3 for you??? Our templates are ready for you to just add your colors, fonts, and voice and then go ahead and schedule them...You could drive the extra distance to the nice coffee shop with all that extra time!
