Welcome to the social media course. In this course, I want to talk a lot about the why behind posting,
what's working best in 2025. And then I also want to talk a lot about the hows and the setting you
up for success so you can feel confident in posting and managing your account. So yeah,
to get started, I'm going to talk a little bit about the foundation. I want to set the foundation
of why we're posting. I think a huge question is, what's the purpose? There are so many people,
the market is very saturated in content creating currently. And I think that we can ask ourselves,
why me? Why do I need to go and post my story? Why do I need to go talk about whatever I feel
called to speak to? But your voice matters. Your story is so unique to you and people need to hear
it. I can be sharing my story and reach a completely different audience than you sharing
your story or you talking about what you feel like you bring value to in the world. So I think
just starting there, you're important. What you have to say is important. And as long as you're
being vulnerable, and now there's measures of vulnerability in what we're putting out,
but you've lived life and what you've done, the things and the knowledge that you know
are going to impact someone because they have not lived that same life as you and they do not have
the same answers as you. Also, there's a huge difference in a lot of the things
that are going on right now are manufactured. They're ad reads for brands. They're really,
really curated, produced, overly produced content, which like there is a need for that space.
But also there's a need for people to come out and be real and raw and speak to things that like
real people are going to and just like for the audience to feel seen like, oh, wow, they've been
through that as well. So just want to start there. Next, I'm going to talk a little bit about what is
working in 2025. So see you there.
