Ep. 45: Stop Social Media Burnout Without Sacrificing Customers

If you feel burnt out from social meda, you’re not alone. The social media landscape is continuing to evolve at a rapid pace and can feel impossible to keep up with when you’re managing a local business. You have customers, employees, inventory and finances… the list goes on. If social media is not your primary role, it can feel overwhelming. In this episode, Sydney walks through her blueprint to avoid social media burnout without having to sacrifice customers. It’s a blueprint she uses with her clients and it’s how she manages social media for a dozen small businesses without losing her sanity. 

What You’ll Takeaway:

  • Why advice tailored for influencers or online business owners is not always applicable to local businesses.
  • Why going viral won’t solve your marketing problems and doesn’t equal reaching the people who are going to walk into your business the next day.
  • How to spend less time on social media without sacrificing visibility and customers.
  • How to use authenticity and consistency to make your business shine.
  • Why Meta Ads are investment in growing your business.
  • How to use Meta Ads to reach your ideal audience for as little as $3-5/day.

The best part about this strategy? It’s a wash, rinse, and repeat strategy. It works time and time again meaning you can take the same strategy and apply it to different content every month. If you’re a local business owner who understands opportunity cost, it’s time to get started with this tried and true social media strategy that works. Take back your time and energy, and get back to the things that really need your attention.

Hi friends! My name is Sydney, founder of Marathon Marketing & Branding, and I’m so happy you’re here! As you might have guessed, I am an avid runner, which allows me to have more of that pinot and pasta in life. Running long-distance is all about training, endurance, and consistency. I realized that these same traits are directly applicable to social media marketing as well.
