For this episode, Alex is joined by Kieran Kevan who is a global social media manager, Fitness Champion and coach. Regardless of the type of business you run you´ve got to have a brand, which means building a really strong social media presence and learning to engage people within the 3-second attention window.

If you don´t you won´t be the brand that people think of when they reach the buying stage. A stage they are only at for a very brief period. Buyers scroll and research for 95% of the time and are only in buying mode for 5% of the time. Kieran and Alex also have an in-depth conversation about the ethics of using clickbait on your social channels.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Who and what do you want to be? That´s is what your brand needs to be. Don´t lie, be authentic.
• To stand a chance of finding investors you need to have a good social presence.
• Sharing written posts on LinkedIn is a good place for property entrepreneurs to get started. A significant percentage of the people who use the channel will have money to invest.
• If you do not post consistently, the algorithm will penalise you.
• 95% of the time your audience is in consideration mode. They are researching and deciding whether to buy or not.
• You need to stay front of mind so that you are who they think of when they eventually reach the buying stage.
• Social is what will keep you at the front of potential buyers ‘minds.
• Personality and consistency are the key. People buy people.
• Tell stories to evoke emotions. When you do that people relate and stay with you.
• Grow with your audience.
• Initially cast your net wide.
• Catchy headlines are essential, but they have to be honest. If they are not the leads you get will not result in sales.
• Focus on conversions and play the longer game.
• If you use Facebook focus on using your personal page rather than your business page.
• Invest in getting your socials working properly. Pay someone who knows to tell you what to do.
