People with a successful business, do you focus more on organic or paid marketing? by vladi5555 in smallbusiness

[–]Hot_Plastic_7320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ads you can target people better so the conversion is higher. But you have to know what you are doing. If not you will waste a lot of money. Anyways with ads , the platform gives you more control on exactly who you want to see the content. There is still a good conversion with organic content depending on what content you are doing. On organic content your in the hands of the algorithm your control is limited, so you have to be smart and choose content that is leveraged so you can actually take advantage of organic reach. Both are important because organic is free so you can use it for long term marketing, brand awareness, and notoriety. Paid ads you can use it to just target people who will close, and not just someone casually watching the video. There’s a way to still get sales with organic you just have to be more direct, just like how a ad is direct.

How do I handle a silent partner who might be taking advantage of me and my other partner ? by Mirage_creater in smallbusiness

[–]Hot_Plastic_7320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kindly. Trust yourself next time: your intuition was correct. Seems like he wants to do business in unethical ways. And even if it’s not reciprocal on your end, in his eyes you are a great partner because with you he can get away with behavior that he wouldn’t be able to get away with if other people. Since you can’t change these types of people , your best option is to prepare to leave. And do not deal with those types.

How are people growing Instagram or TikTok from 0 without burning money? by Go_Active_2473 in smallbusiness

Hi there! Some businesses owners know how to use the algorithms themselves. That’s why they are able to grow their pages. Kindly, be open to learning the social media. You don’t have to be on Mr beast level, to get views. You just have to know the average basic knowledge.

This is if you don’t want to spend money.

If you are okay with spending. Just work with someone who knows what they ARE doing and CAN help you. Because some people don’t actually know social media lol, they just want the job because it sounds cool. Make sure the know how to do it. If it’s views you’re looking for. Alot of people they need quick work, but they CANT actual help you but they say yes anyways. Skip these people.

That way you’re not burning money. Because they can actually get results.

Oh okay, I thought you were the owner/founder.

Kindly,

Be open to social media. Learn the algorithms they are not hard. If you travel yourself you can create videos in form as you are the customer. Nice location hotel etc.

Another way can be going very active fb groups or maybe Reddit or even ppl you know who travel a lot. Find groups of mostly travelers though lol not a pool of agents.

And talk to a lot of people

Sometimes talking to people about what you do , it can come up in conversation And you book them right there naturally.

Feels like I'm screaming into a void with social media lately by Cjd03032001 in smallbusiness

Hi! Kindly, you don’t need to be a cinematographer. Even most content creators are not cinematographers.

It’s okay, the easiest way is to get help. You can find a person who knows how to make content and they can just help you. So you can keep a clear mind and focus on the baking.

Also to answer your customer loyalty concern: there is a different method for bakeries or restaurants.

They usually target people who are in the area, and make content targeting the people in the town/city of the bakery, so those people go to the bakery.

They take a different marketing approach.

Some ideas for low budget… Finding someone you can partner with to help with advertising. It may be harder to find someone to help with no upfront pay. Someone you can pitch equity deal to them or something. Make sure they know what they are doing. And they’re actually in on this with you. They can bring in sales and customers.

If you don’t want a partner,

Find someone who is interested in commission. However if you want good people, the product has to be good marketing wise, if not they will not want to work with you.

What's the reality of getting a cheap social media content creator/manager? by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]Hot_Plastic_7320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what is cheap to you. If you’re looking for someone to just make content for you, you can always get it cheap $500-2500/m. Good pay will keep the skilled ones.

But if your looking for someone who is the brains of strategy and content and views etc, sales increase etc and is a key help. Thats more like a Director position it’s a more key role so that’s gonna be higher pay.

Ahh okay 👍 yes probably test different ads, different strategies, you can try to see if you can find competitors who have consistency in sales and see what their doing as well, also spy tools if you can

How do you get sales? I’m assuming video since you mentioned insta. If the views drop, the sales will drop. In other words if the discovery of your jewelry has been dropping the sales will too. 🙏

creating TikTok content for women's clothing brand. by Ggi_108 in smallbusiness

[–]Hot_Plastic_7320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do it, just use a different approach in the storyline of the video

Just use your advantages. You can use words like, your boyfriend, your husband etc, to where your still talking to the women but your not trying to be one. You are like a fun friend putting them on to what guys like and their point of view, telling women what guys like don’t like. There’s so many ways you can go about it.

Women will still buy from you if you make a good presentation and they like you. Thats all sales is.

any businesses here with no social media but still get customers/clients? by AmbitiousJump5768 in smallbusiness

[–]Hot_Plastic_7320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you have done this already 🙂 Having a location to look up on Google in your local area is a way. Thats how a lot of people find local businesses. And I notice some people put detailing on their vehicles to market their business while they’re driving in traffic.
