Social media can be a really powerful way to connect with and build deeper relationships with your audience – but it can be extremely time consuming. So, we asked some folks we admire to share how they manage their social profiles and whether they’ve hired professionals to help.

Tatiana Reyes

I am a one woman show over here! I manage all of my own social media accounts. I respond to all messages myself. If someone were to go to my Instagram page not only would they see a little sense of my humor but they will also find educational videos, client stories, home tours, etc. Read more>>

I currently manage my social media platforms. It is quite difficult sometimes because hair isn’t my full-time job. Having more then one job sometimes puts me behind due to me being so busy working so much that I’m overly worked or overly tired. There would be times where I wouldn’t post for days which to me I find that slows down the growth of the business. If I do continue to have more then one job I do find myself considering hiring someone to manage my social media. You have to do what works best for you and the growth of your business. Read more>>

When I started Run Tri Bike, I was managing the social media channels on my own. It was burdensome and I hired somebody to manage it. My direction wasn’t clear and so the platforms themselves lacked a focus and didn’t really convey the vision and mission of the company. Read more>>

Social media has always excited me. Growing up, I would always say I was the least creative in the family but as I explored the social platforms like Instagram and TikTok I realized that my creativity came from creating content online. Social Media has always been a fun way for me to connect with clients and not only market my brand but also stay relatable. Read more>>

I handle my own social media. it is a tricky thing for sure. I want it to reflect my company and my voice. much of my contact is how I spend my day and what I either see and love or have accomplished for clients. it is great to see my followers response to what I post. while I try and be creative, I am surely no expert!

For my jewelry business, I actually handle all the social media myself. That goes for content creation, editing, scheduling, and posting! As a student majoring in marketing, I find myself applying some of the knowledge I’ve gained from university to my socials. I also love the creative aspect of shooting jewelry and playing around with all the different props. Read more>>
