🧠 Training Session Recap: Building Your Social Media Foundations
Hey everyone! This week we dived into the foundations of social media and content strategy — helping you build systems that make marketing easier, more authentic, and more effective. Here’s a quick recap of what we covered 👇 1. Use ChatGPT to make content creation 10× faster: • Content batching → PLAN AHEAD: what do you want to offer this month and why? Create your content once a week/once a month and schedule your posts. • Caption ideas → ask ChatGPT for 10–20 caption options per service you intend to provide that month. • Bulk-script your posts → based on the services and captions, ask ChatGPT to draft full captions with Calls To Action. • Hashtag research → use a mix of small (<50k), medium (100k–500k), and large (500k+) hashtags — research these based on your area, services and ideal community. • Email + SMS templates → reuse prompts to build your monthly emailing and texting campaigns. Send these out at least once a week. Create templates catering to your different types of leads — long-standing customers / first-time customers / interested leads. REMEMBER: Tweak everything so that it sounds authentic to YOU, ChatGPT can come across a little robotic.

Standing Out in a Crowded Market • Show your face — people buy from people! • Share testimonials (even from friends/family if starting out). • Educate and give value — not just promos. • Stay consistent — consistency beats perfection. Planning ahead and scheduling posts is key for this. • Tell stories — your “why” builds trust. 3. Tracking = Growth • Use your Social Media Engagement Tracker (find shared PDF on this post) weekly. • Track: date, post type, caption theme, likes, saves, comments, shares, and inquiries/bookings. • Double down on what performs best! 4. Use Instagram Insights
