The most important part of your brand on social media is you.
If you want social media to work for you -- help you reach new audiences, earn trust, build relationships, stay top of mind among your clients, and and grow your business -- then you need to show up regularly. The Social Broker content will help you add value to your audience, and social media is a balance between consistency and variety, business and personality.
The content that you post from The Social Broker will only go so far until you are also willing to incorporate bits and pieces of your brand personality into your feeds.
Does that mean you need to hire special photographers to follow you around taking glamour shots? Um, no.
Does it mean you need to take cheesy photos of yourself holding a set of keys and moving boxes? Not in this membership!
Here are some photo suggestions that you might snap on your phone and incorporate into this month's calendar. Pick 4-5 to do throughout the month.
EXTRA CREDIT: Jump on Instagram Stories and give a two-minute market behind-the-scenes tour of one of your listings. Take your audience step by step throughout the home and show them every staging tip/home improvement tip that your seller implemented upon your recommendation.
