Simplest, Easiest Yet Most Powerful Social Media Action Plan for Small Business Owners

What could be the most basic social media action plan for coaches, mentors, solo entrepreneurs, and even small business owners? A plan that can show an entrepreneur some instant results. A plan that builds faith in social media and motivates one to go for a bigger strategy and investment.

Start with this 4 Steps Action Plan.

And get ready for a surprise. If you're already following this or a similar one, it's time to take the next step and implement a focused strategy for your business.

1. Narrow down your audience

Build one or two best audiences. Whatever you will post or talk on your social accounts will get attention ONLY from serious prospects. If you're not getting engagement on your posts or leads from your efforts, it's a clear call for audience research.

2. Plan 4 types of content & create 8 useful posts

8 great posts every month are more than enough to position yourself as a trusted professional.

Type 1 - Answer a question related to your industry

(Read industry, not your services). Create 2 such posts. This establishes you as a professional who wants to solve their audience's problem.

Type 2 - Find a few facts or statistics about your industry

(Try both negative and positive stats and see what gets a maximum response). Create 2 posts around these stats and facts. This establishes you as a knowledgeable expert.

Type 3 - A thought about life or entrepreneurship

Create 2 such simple and short posts. This shows you as a genuine leader who doesn't just focus on selling but sharing.

Type 3 - Ask a question or put a poll

Ask anything related to your industry or simply life. This post is to engage your audience. Keep these 2 posts as simple as possible. Don't make people think to answer? make it fun and easy.

These 8 posts are going to do some wonders to your social media presence. Try this for 2-3 months.

3. Join one most relevant and active group

And be active with at least twice a week participation. Answer a question, join the running conversations, help someone with recommendations but stay active with giving. Think of making a post after every 10 participations only.

4. Fix a time for your social media activity

It can be 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the evening. Respond to questions, comments and anything within 4-12 hours. If you delay, you lose people's interest. If you reply too soon, you may appear desperate and available all the time. Value your time, availability and leave a great impression of your brand.

This basic plan is more than enough to get started and has shown brilliant results for everyone who has followed.

Tell me how it worked out for you.

For any questions, ask me in the comments.

All the best for 2021 and make the most out of social media.
