My guest for this episode is Deborah Finestone. Deborah Finestone has a 20-year career in communications and marketing and has spent the last 6 years focusing on social media marketing for small businesses and nonprofits. She’s a certified social media marketer who helps her clients build their brand and awareness. Her strategies help businesses get in front of everyone who could use their service or product, develop strong relationships and convert them to clients or customers. For years, she says she fantasized about working for a nonprofit, after volunteering regularly for a wide array of organizations since she was a teenager. Now, she’s fulfilled that dream by working with nonprofits as a social media consultant and manager.

Here’s what to expect during the episode:

  • The three most common mistakes people make on social media. How do you fix them? (Short answer: You don’t have to do it all yourself!)
  • Understanding a little about social media algorithms and analytics. Did you know that what you put out there are unlikely being shown to ALL your followers?
  • The value of building relationships through social media. It’s the same as customer service in a brick-and-mortar business!
  • Exploring the idea of “Posting and Ghosting”. Responding to your audience is critical!
  • Various tools and tips to help you with scheduling posts on any social media platform.
  • The need for you to always think about bringing the best value for your audience.
