There are three crucial things that your social media accounts must have in order to attract, compel and convert your online followers and increase online business sales.
In this week's episode:
Your social media profile (both on personal accounts and business accounts!) must have a current profile photo. Your profile does not have to include a professional headshot--but it needs to be professional enough. Lead with whatever you're known for and make sure the info. is current. Make sure that all of your content (text, image, video, livestream, story, etc.) is valuable information that your audience wants. To identify your target audience, feel free to reach out with a DM on social media or email me at listener@bonnielfrank.com. You must know your Ideal Client Avatar in order to know your target audience. The more you engage on social media, the more you're training the algorithm that you want to see more of that person's content. Poll your audience in a Facebook post or Facebook or Instagram story to find out what they want you to do more or less of online. Ask your audience on a livestream or do a quiz on Instagram stories to find out what your audience wants. Survey your audience via a survey link that you provide them through email. Include YOU in each of your social media posts. You should seem the same on and off of social media, in your photos and in person, etc. People buy from you because OF you. All of my "tools of the trade" (business, podcasting, livestreaming and self care) can be found on my website: https://www.bonnielfrank.com/pages/tools. Mentioned in this episode:

We're often told that it's important to be "transparent" and "authentic" online, but how much is too much to share on social media? We answer this and more on this episode of the Business Fabulous podcast.
In this week's episode:
Please stop paying attention to what others are doing on social media--it's crazy-making. Take a "social media cleanse" for a reality check to what's truly important. Look at how many minutes/hours you're spending on social media! (Your smartphone will track this. Please don't eat on live video unless eating the food is a food review, etc.--super rude to your viewers. I define transparency and authenticity (they do NOT mean the same thing) online and what this means for your branding.  Why Bonnie's on so many social media platforms. How many social media platforms YOU should be on. Why I get over 27,000 Pinterest views every month. What I do and do not share on social media and why.

When you understand the nuances of Instagram's four distinct parts, you can easily grow your online presence and impact there. 
In this week's episode:
There are four distinct parts of Instagram: Feed, Live, Stories, IGTV. In order to get the analytics (to see what's working best for your audience) on all of your posts, you must have a business account. I detail how to do this in the episode. Instagram is a hashtag game! You can have up to 30 hashtags in any IG feed post. Any more than that and none of the hashtags will be seen. I provide helpful hashtag tools below! (scroll down to "Mentioned in this episode) The "Swipe Up" feature in the feed is for accounts that have 10,000 followers or more. IGTV videos can be 10 minutes long with less than 10,000 followers and up to an hour in length with 10,000 or more followers. Instagram live broadcasts can be up to one hour long and disappear in 24 hours. Instagram stories (my favorite!) can have video clips of 15 seconds or less per story. Instagram will auto-cut  (into 15-second segments) any video for you if the video is less than 60 seconds. For longer videos, you need to use a third-party app like Cut Story. I detail exactly how to increase your following with IG stories in this episode as well as explain all the necessary features. Mentioned in this episode:
