Help! I’m struggling to find time for social media for my business
Coaching Interview
with Frances Barrett
How do you find time to create social media content for your business? Especially when your business is creating content for other people. Find out in this coaching interview with social media manager Frances Barrett.
When you run your own business, finding time for social media can be tough.
But what if you sell social media management as a service?
You can’t really say you’re ‘too busy’ creating content for other people to post on your own accounts.
Because surely that’s like trying to sell personal training when you don’t even work out.
So how DO you find the time to create your own social media content?
In this live coaching interview I help social media manager Frances Barrett uncover the surprising reason she’s struggling to find time for her own content.
She also shares her feelings about being paid to do something for other people she’s finding it hard to do herself.
