The Ultimate Step-by-Step Social Media Starter Pack for Businesses

by | Jun 29, 2024 | Business, Instagram, Online Branding, Social Media

You know your business needs to be on social media, but effectiveness depends on how well you use it. That’s where our comprehensive starter pack comes in, designed to guide you through the process of mastering content creation, improving engagement, and turning your online audience into loyal followers and buyers.

Whether you’re completely new to social media or need a refresh on your strategy, the Business Starter Pack will provide everything you need to get started and grow your online presence.

Is Social Media the New Search Engine?

Yes, it is! Many people now use social media instead of Google to discover products, read reviews, and find local businesses. If your social media presence isn’t strong, you could be missing out on potential customers.

Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and even newer ones like Lemon8 are becoming digital hubs for consumers to make purchasing decisions. For businesses, having an optimized social media presence is not just a luxury but a necessity to reach your target audience and build brand awareness.

Choose the Right Platforms

With so many platforms available, it can be overwhelming to choose where to focus. It’s not just about Facebook and Instagram anymore, especially in Singapore. Younger audiences are more active on TikTok and Lemon8, and understanding where your audience spends their time is key to maximizing your results.

The Ultimate 101: Social Media Platform Guide (available in my E-BOOK), will provide you with detailed insights on which platforms are best for your business and how to leverage them effectively.

I recommend starting with the Big Three: Facebook, Instagram, and Lemon8—but it really depends on the age group your target customers are.

Create a Content Calendar

Planning your content in advance helps maintain a consistent and engaging presence. Use a content calendar to schedule posts for Instagram, Facebook, and beyond. I cover this in detail in my Training Program: Starter’s Guide to Mastering Personal Branding & Content Creation, specifically in Module 6. Feel free to purchase and access it here!

But if you need even more support, my FREE 15-minutes Advisory Call Coaching Trial is available to help you with personalized advice on how to optimize your content strategy and build a routine that suits your business.

Set Up Your Business Profile

A business profile offers many benefits, including access to analytics and clickable features. If you already have a personal profile, switch it to a business profile in your app settings. Ensure your profile is secure with two-factor authentication and stay updated on phishing tactics. Verification can add credibility—on platforms like Instagram, it may require meeting certain criteria.

To make this easy, check out the steps in optimizing your Instagram profile in The Ultimate 101: Social Media Platform Guide (available in my E-BOOK) Chapter II for a more detailed breakdown of setting up a business profile.

If you’re selling products, don’t miss out on leveraging the Shopee and Lazada platforms! If you’re new to these platforms, we have an e-book to guide you—check it out here: E-BOOK: Shopee Success Secrets

Optimize Your Profile

Your profile is the first chance to tell your brand story. Keep branding consistent across all platforms for a unified look. Essential elements include:

  • Profile name
  • Username
  • Profile picture (often your logo)
  • Bio
  • Cover/banner picture (for Facebook and LinkedIn)
  • Business category/industry
  • Specialties (keywords on Facebook and LinkedIn)

(I’ve included this information on page 12 of my FREE E-book for you. Feel free to download it here.)

Include Business Information

Make it easy for users to take action by providing clear business information:

  • Phone number
  • Email
  • Website link or link tree
  • Business hours (on Facebook)
  • Business address
  • Links to other social media platforms
  • “About” section
  • Call-to-action button

To help streamline this process, my E-CHEATBOOK: Engineered AI Prompt gives you templates and prompts to create optimized and effective profiles faster.

How to Set Up a Link Tree

A link tree, or “link in bio,” helps users find specific information about your business. Here’s how to set one up:

  1. Choose a link tree service like Linktree, Bio.fm, or Campsite.
  2. Select a username, ideally your business name.
  3. Add links to your services, products, specials, or blog.
  4. Brand your link tree with your colors, fonts, and logo.
  5. Add the link tree to your social media bio.
  6. Publish and track results with UTM links.

Develop a Content Strategy

Content is key to staying top of mind with followers and attracting new users. Consider these questions when creating content:

  • Does your content align with your brand?
  • Who is your target audience?
  • How often should you post? Quality is more important than quantity.
  • What is your audience’s search intent? Use keywords naturally in your profile name, bio, and captions.
