In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Tammy Hudgin discuss:

• Transition to a professional Facebook page
• Strategize engagement to boost algorithm
• Leverage multiple images and "See More" for engagement
• Utilize Instagram reels and stories effectively
• Balance business and personal content

Key Takeaways:

• Switching to a professional Facebook page unlocks valuable insights and allows you to exceed the 5,000 friend limit, and strategically managing your personal timeline, business page, and groups can significantly boost your organic reach and engagement.
• Actively engaging with your target audience by asking questions about their posts can help the algorithm recognize your content and increase its visibility in their feeds.
• Incorporating multiple images in a single post, as well as ensuring your written content is long enough to trigger the "See More" button, can significantly increase engagement metrics that the algorithm favors.
• While it's important to have a strategic content plan, don't be afraid to mix in personal, behind-the-scenes updates alongside your business-focused posts.
• Connecting with like-minded entrepreneurs in messenger groups can be a valuable way to support each other's growth and share best practices, as long as the engagement remains genuine and not forced, and platforms like the Badass Direct Sales Moms group can foster meaningful connections and cross-promotion.
