• 5:18
  Speaker 1: get the same results. So we're trying to provide some
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: alternatives to the things that we're already using. So using
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: social media to showcase your platform, your brand, all you
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: doing is harnessing the power of social media to grow
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: your brand, your visibility, and connect with your audience. So
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the importance of social media for your brand. Social media
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: is one of the fastest, most effective ways to share,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: to share your message, to connect with your target audience,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and to build a reptible online presence. Whether you're a
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: business owner, a creator, or an organization, having an active
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: social media presence is essential for sustaining growth. There are
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: some pros and cons and I'm gonna share three pros
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna share three cons with you about
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: using social media for your brand. So the pros are
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you can gain increase reach, invisibility. Social media platform allows
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: you to reach global audience instantly no matter where you are.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Engagement and community building. You are interacting directly with your audience,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: answering questions and creating a loyal community. Cost effective marketing.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Many social media platforms offer free or low cost ways
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: to promote your content, your services, and your products. Those
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: are the pros. Those are the top three pros. Now,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: there are some cons to this, and this way a
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: lot of people get that get distracted and they lose
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: interest and they don't want to be a part because
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: number one, it is time consuming. Creating content, posting regularly
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and engaging with your followers requires a significant time investment.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: A lot of us are not willing to do that. Act.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Rhythm changes, platform often change how content is shown to users,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: which can decrease your reach unexpectedly. That's why you have
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: to stay up, and you have to stay up on
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: ways of re engaging and constantly posting content. Just constantly
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: posting content and figuring out what you can do to
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: change and what you can do to add to what
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: you're doing. But it's consistency and the fact that you're
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: doing it. Another thing that could be a cun is
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: negative feedback of public criticism. If you don't have a
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: tough skin, if you can't accept criticism, it can sometimes
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: be a set back for you open form to attract trolls.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: We know what trolls do. They come on your platform
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and they have nothing to say good. It's always something negative.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: If you cannot block that out, you cannot overcome that,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: then that can be an issue. But it's it's not
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: that serious. I often say, if you're if you're doing
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: something good, you always gonna have somebody that has something
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: negative to say. So that's just something that you have
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: to block out. I'm gonna share with you what through
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: my studies and through some of the searches that I
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: have done, the top three platforms to be a visibility
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: and how you can begin to incorporate this and see
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: how over the next three months your visibility change. So
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the top three platforms that they're saying is out there
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: right now. As far as social media, it's Instagram. Instagram
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: is number one. Why it provides a visual storytelling through photos,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: reels and stories. It is great for brands with strong
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: visual content like product service and behind the scenes visibility tips.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: The posts consistently and utilize reels for viral potential. The
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: second one is LinkedIn essentially for brand to brand, brands
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and entrepreneurs professional networks, sharing expertise and attracting business leads,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: share insight, accomplishments, join relevant, relevant conversations in your industry.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: And then number three is TikTok. Some of you guys
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: are watching me now from TikTok. TikTok is one of
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: it is. It came in number three, so it has
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: rapid organic reach potentials with shorts, engaging videos and perfect
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: for brands willing to showcase their personality in trends. Start
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: simple and participate in trending challenges relevant to your niche
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: and go live. You the live opportunities, go live, share
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: your brand and all of that. So for me, I
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: have a website which is Angela Thomas smithbooks dot com.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: My Instagram is Angela Queen of Collaboration. My LinkedIn is
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: the Visionary Queen Angela. My TikTok is Visionary Queen Angela.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: And then you can also check out my newsletter through substack.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I have a newsletter that's available through substack. So one
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: way to support me today, go over and follow me
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: on TikTok the Visionary Queen Angela. Go over and follow
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: me on TikTok, And I want you to tag. I
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: want you to post, and I want you to tag
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: me and share your lady's post with me, and we're
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: gonna see how we're gonna support. So one of the
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: things that I I want you to know that today,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: with technology and all of the things that we have
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: available y'all, it is so so easy to allow your
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: brand to be seen and heard. It's just about you
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: taking the opportunity to share your brand and to put
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: your brand out there. Yes, it's gonna take some time,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: it's gonna take some effort, and it's not gonna happen overnight.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: But if you're consistent and you're willing to do the work,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: it will pay off. It will pay off. And I
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: can tell you this, I recently just started really really
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: using TikTok. I used to just go on and just post,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: like every show we had, I would just go on
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and post clips from our show. But I never went
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: over and engaged. I never went over and utilized lives.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I never went over and just utilize a lot of
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the things that's there. It's an opportunity where you can
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: just really connect with people by going live and hosting
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: panels and just doing a lot of different other things.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: It's a lot of things that you can do to
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: connect with your audience. But we throw up excuses. I know,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: we all have to work. We all work what we do,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: even if we're on social media. It's work because it's
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: a part of building your brand. And just like we
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: go to these other jobs fulfilling other people's dreams. Because
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: if you're not feeling, if you're not walking in your
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: purpose doing whatever it is, if you are an entrepreneur,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: and you're going to other people's job and fulfilling their
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: job and putting your job, your entrepreneurship stuff on the
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: back burner, then you need to take a look at
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: what it is your priority, because sometime we put priority
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: in other people's stuff and not put that same priority
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: in ours. So I'm gonna challenge you guys this week,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: as you go out throughout this week and as we
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: continue this twenty one day challenge, I want you guys
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: to really apply some of these things and see how
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: you can adapt your brand to what we're doing. So
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: you figure out out which social media site works for you,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: because all of them may not work. You know, I
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: post on Instagram, but I'm not really a grammar. I'm
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: not really into Instagram. I'll come to TikTok before I
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: go to Instagram and go live and do things to
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: that nature. I have went live a couple of times
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: over there, but I prefer TikTok and Facebook is my
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: number one. Facebook is my number one. I've just just
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: happened to have garnered a presence over there, and I
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: just like, I don't know, I just I just like
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: it from substack. I'm I'm I'm in the ups between
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: substack and TikTok. Now that I think about it, they
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: are tied for two because they both offer different things
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: and I like to utilize both of them. So every
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: day you will see me utilizing my Facebook, I utilize
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: my Substack, and I utilize my TikTok every single day.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: There's not a day that goes by that I don't
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: access both of all three of those platforms. And then
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: there's other platforms that I utilize in the midst of
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: what I'm doing throughout the day, but those three I
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: don't go a day without using them. I try to
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: jump on them every single day, every single day, post,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: go live, share content, whatever it is that I'm doing,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: especially with the author show cases and the different things
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: that we're doing. I have to be visible, y'all. We
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: have if you got to set a schedule and if
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: you just sit you a schedule where one day you're
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: gonna focus on nothing but social media, and then learn
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: how to schedule things. They have scheduling a lot of
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: these platforms have scheduling where you can schedule your posts
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: and you don't actually have to be present to post
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: your it just posts regularly that's what I use on Facebook.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: I have different groups and different pages, and I have
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: things that some of my groups, something is being posted
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: every hour on the hour, all throughout the day, and
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: it's being done constantly, and I don't have to post.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: So y'all can find different platforms that have these these
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: tools and these resources that you can use to do that. Okay.

  Speaker 1: do individually. I use a third party, so I will
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: share the resources that I use. And if you don't
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: want to go through the process of being coached, y'all.

• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Become a Self Publisher and Author with Queen Angela. You
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: can grab you a book. It's eighteen dollars and that
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: will save you a whole lot of money and all
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: you have to do is walk through the book and
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: do it yourself. I'm a believer if you teach a
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: child to fish, they'll never go hungry. So that's what
