Branding Your Business on Social Media: Mistakes Are Part of the Game

When it comes to being an entrepreneur, mistakes are part of the game. And while most of us have been raised to AVOID failure… in business, the faster you fail, the faster you learn. 

We saw an interesting stat recently about Kobe Bryant. On his way to one of the greatest careers in the history of sports… Kobe missed 14,481 shots. The most EVER in NBA history. He understood that you miss every shot you don’t take… and he never let the fear of missing a shot keep him from throwing up the ball. 

That being said… it’s also nice when you can plug in and learn from others who are a little further ahead of you, and learn from THEIR mistakes so you can avoid some of your own. My Mom and I are so grateful to the mentors and coaches who have helped us avoid some of their mistakes, because we made plenty all by ourselves. 

We hope in this post we can help you avoid some of the most common mistakes we see people make when building their profitable personal brands… so let’s dive in: 

Mistakes to Avoid While Branding Your Business on Social Media: Not Having a Marketing Plan

Too many people think that they can have a business idea, start posting about it online, and the customers and clients will magically show up. Or, they see other accounts with bigger followings… and rather than learning and creating a marketing plan of their own, they spend their time trying to mimic what others are doing, hoping they’ll get similar results. 

The problem with this, is you’re only seeing the surface level. All successful online business owners HAVE a marketing plan in place – a strategy for attracting, capturing & converting their ideal clients and customers into their paid products, programs and services. 

This is not something that happens by accident. It takes strategy & purpose. If you want to see the marketing plan my Mom and I followed to go from scratch to seven figures with our personal brand, check out this video. We break it all down for you step by step… not just the parts people see on the surface, but also the pieces we have in place behind the scenes. 

Mistakes to Avoid While Branding Your Business on Social Media: Not Knowing Your Target Audience

Rather than getting super specific around who you help and how you help them, you post randomly… around a ton of different topics… trying to capture everyone’s attention, which results in your voice getting lost in the noise. 

In order to brand yourself on social media, you’ve got to niche down. We did an entire video around this, which you can watch here. 

Mistakes to Avoid While Branding Your Business on Social Media: Treating Every Platform the Same

Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, YouTube, Clubhouse — each platform is different, and is here to serve a different role in your business growth. 

You don’t need a presence on every platform, but you do need to show up CORRECTLY on the platforms you use. One of the biggest mistakes we see people make is taking their posts from Facebook, putting them on Instagram, and thinking they’ll get similar results. Or taking a viral TikTok video or Instagram Reel, posting it on Facebook, thinking it will grow their audience. 

Different platforms serve different purposes, and require different strategies. We did an entire video around choosing the best platform for you, based on your business goals, which you can watch here. 

Mistakes to Avoid While Branding Your Business on Social Media: Posting & Ghosting

Listen, we’re all about automation. But the purpose of social media is to BE SOCIAL… and if you think you can set up your posts on autopilot then just go on about your day, you’re going to struggle to get results. 

We use automation in our posting so that we have MORE TIME to engage with our audience. Take the time to slow down and respond to comments and DMs, and really have real conversations with your audience in order to build your brand and your authority.

Mistakes to Avoid While Branding Your Business on Social Media: Relying Too Much on Automation (Especially In the Beginning!)

When your business is just starting out, it’s built in the trenches. YES you need automation and systems in place. YES you can start creating sales on autopilot, even with an audience of just a few hundred people. But you MUST also take the time to build relationships, have conversations and get to know your audience. 

This is how you grow, and how you start setting yourself apart from the others in your niche. Authenticity reigns supreme on social media, especially these days, and getting in the trenches with your audience will go a long way toward building a solid reputation that serves you for years to come. 

Mistakes to Avoid While Branding Your Business on Social Media: Over Promoting

The secret to selling more on social media is to sell less. Show up, provide value, give inspiration. Then put the systems and automations in place to capture and convert your audience on the back end. 

Using tools like freebie funnels, free value Facebook groups, and a solid email nurturing strategy will allow you to focus on showing up and providing value on social media, while feeling confident that your strategies and systems are doing the work of selling for you behind the scenes. 

And don’t get me wrong… those strategies & systems are important, because… 

Mistakes to Avoid While Branding Your Business on Social Media: Under Promoting

Yes, you’re here to give value. You’re here to build relationships… but friend, you are also here to build a business. We’ve found that even more often than over promoting… people are so afraid of looking salesy that they UNDER promote. 

We want to challenge you to change your mindset around this: if you truly believe that your products, service and business can help and benefit people, it is your DUTY… your OBLIGATION… to give them an opportunity to buy. 

We know… our free stuff is good. But our PAID PROGRAMS are transformational! We can help you with free videos like this one, but we can transform your business when you join us inside one of our paid programs because we’re able to really lock arms with you, dial in  your system, and spend the time giving you every tool you need to be successful. 

That’s why we never feel guilty about selling! In fact, we get excited about it! Because when we do a good job of selling… that means we’re helping more people. 

Our favorite way to help people, is to help them put a proven profit plan in place for their business so they can attract, capture & convert their ideal clients and customers on autopilot. We believe we each started our business because we wanted MORE freedom… not less. 

And you don’t need to spend hours a week hustling on social media, posting constantly, and sliding into DMs in order to have a profitable business. 

We break down our complete profit plan for you step by step inside this free 60 minute training, our repeatable revenue masterclass. And yes… at the end of the training we’ll invite you to step inside our newest program, the Laptop Lifestyle Academy. 

But don’t worry – even if LLA isn’t a good fit for you, I promise this will be one of the most valuable free trainings you ever attend. 

That’s because inside the training we show you exactly how we went from social media nobodies with audience or influence to hitting 300K in sales with our personal brand in just 10 months. You can reserve your seat by clicking on the button below!
