8 Tips That You Can Use to Intentionally Grow Your Online Presence
- Set your Visibility Intention. Establish a “Know, Like, Trust Factor” with your audience and you will land more ideal clients and be open to unexpected opportunities and income streams.
- Live Video / Video. Use video as tool to welcome clients, create Before + After Videos and client testimonials. Rachel has a daily livestream show on FB called “Rachel’s Daily Riffs” where she uses live video to connect with her audience and showcase her expertise.
- Share your projects on social media. Humble bragging is an essential part of growing your business.
- Share “behind the scenes”. Instagram Stories are a great way to do that and it takes only seconds to create them. Share what you’re working on, inside designer showrooms, wholesale flower markets, installation days, office scenes, bits on personal life, flea market trips, food, coffee, beach, home.
- Get Social on Social. Don’t just drop your post and run—engage with your followers and you will build genuine connections.
- Blog. Get into the story of projects and show the before, in progress and after photos. Talk trends, colors and market finds.
- Track your analytics. Use a tool like google analytics to tell you where your website traffic comes from and put most of your energy into that resource.
- Take it offline. Take it back to the basics from time to time. While many connect online, in-person networking is invaluable for deepening those connections. Attend networking events, conduct in-person workshops and speaking engagements.
DESIGN INTERVENTION
Rachel’s advice: Invest in you. Find a coach or program that fills a gap in your expertise and embrace it. Ask your peers what’s worthwhile and what isn’t.
