Social Media Content

Social media is a powerful platform for reaching and engaging with your audience. Your book provides a wealth of material that can be transformed into bite-sized social media content.

• Create Shareable Quotes: Pull out memorable quotes or impactful statements from your book and turn them into visually appealing graphics. Tools like Canva can help you design eye-catching social media posts.
• Develop Themed Series: Use chapters or key themes from your book to create a series of posts. This could be a weekly feature where you dive into different aspects of your book.
• Engage with Visual Content: Share images, illustrations, or infographics that relate to your book’s content. Visual content is more likely to catch the eye and encourage engagement.

By consistently sharing content from your book, you keep your audience engaged and remind them of the value your book offers.

Blog Posts

Blogging is an excellent way to delve deeper into the topics covered in your book and drive traffic to your website. Break down chapters into blog articles: 

• Summarize Key Chapters: Turn each chapter of your book into a detailed blog post. Summarize the main points and expand on them with additional insights or related information.
• Create How-To Guides: If your book offers practical advice, transform this content into how-to guides or tutorials. This provides immediate value to your readers and positions you as an expert in your field.
• Interview Features: Write blog posts featuring interviews with characters (for fiction) or experts and influencers who contributed to your book (for non-fiction). This adds depth and context to your content.

Regularly updating your blog with content from your book not only helps in SEO but also keeps your audience coming back for more.

Video Content

Video content is highly engaging and can bring your book to life in a dynamic way. Transform chapters or key themes into video series:

• Create Video Summaries: Record short videos summarizing each chapter or key sections of your book. This helps to engage those who prefer visual content.
• Host Live Q&A Sessions: Use platforms like Instagram Live, Facebook Live, or YouTube to host Q&A sessions where you discuss your book and answer questions from your audience.
• Create Tutorials or Workshops: If your book provides educational content, create video tutorials or workshops. This not only repurposes your content but also adds significant value to your audience.

By repurposing your book into video content, you can reach a broader audience and offer a more interactive experience.

Podcasts and Audio Content

With the growing popularity of podcasts, turning your book content into audio format can significantly expand your reach. Launch your own podcast or apply to be guest on other podcasts:

• Read Excerpts: Create episodes where you read excerpts from your book, adding commentary or insights.
• Discuss Themes and Topics:Dedicate each episode to discussing the themes or topics covered in your book. Invite guest speakers to add different perspectives.
• Offer Bonus Content: Share behind-the-scenes stories, author insights, or additional content that didn’t make it into the book.

Audio content allows you to connect with your audience in a personal and engaging way, making your book more accessible.

Sarah, welcome today. And thanks. You’re going to give us such great content. We’re looking forward to it.

Unknown 1:39
Hey, you know, I am truly honored. I’m way excited. And thank you for having me.

Unknown 1:46
Well, tell us a little bit about yourself, Sarah, and kind of how you got to this point now of being your own boss and having your own business?

Unknown 1:54
Sure. Sure. It’s a you want the 30 minute version or the three minute version? Well, cut it down record time. So you know, it’s

Unknown 2:03
Yeah,

Unknown 2:05
no, I’m just joking. I was the mom that followed the, quote, realistic path. You know, I went to school for engineering. And I convinced myself that that is something I love to do. And I went through a long, long time of living in the corporate world and doing things that I actually didn’t enjoy. And it took a really hard wake up call. One day when I realized that I hated what I was doing, right? I had only done it for the money or for the good,

Unknown 2:38
what’s the word benefits, good benefits. And I really tell much how unhappy I was even though I had done everything right,

Unknown 2:46
right. Those of us

Unknown 2:48
that are on video, you can see I’m I’m doing air quotes a lot. And I was at this little women’s luncheon seminar thing. And the speaker asked me directly what is that you want out of your life. And I was in this huge transitional time of realizing I didn’t like my job. I didn’t like what I was doing. And I couldn’t figure out what I wanted. I had as a mom and working a business, all of us really were taught so much to give and serve, you take care of others before you take care of you. You’ve got kids to feed. And I was at that point where I’d completely forgotten who I was. And I, I didn’t know what I wanted in life anymore. And so I started making huge changes. And you talked about quitting earlier, right. And I set a goal to quit my job in 2017. And because I started remembering who I wasn’t what I wanted. And lo and behold, three months later, after I set that goal, I was laid off. And I was so excited. So I started doing more of what I loved. I started figuring out how am I going to turn my side hustle from home into a full time thing that I love doing. And that’s the long and the short of it. Sometimes we have experiences where we are immediately humbled. And we’re just slammed into something rough. And it makes us change. But it helps us become so much aware of what

Unknown 4:20
what we love to do, right, how to serve others in a way that also supports us. And so that’s a little bit about me, I’m a mom, I have three little boys, my husband’s an artist, and I speak and podcast and educate folks all over the world.

Unknown 4:37
Awesome. And I love that now you have a podcast, and you were saying you’re traveling. I love that you can be on the fly, you can do your own thing. It’s grown time, set your own goals. And I love that you were saying, you know, you had made that goal to quit your job. And then even though you weren’t able to quit, you got laid off, you were able to pursue those dreams and desires because you are like, Okay, I’m going to take action now.

Unknown 5:03
Yeah, yeah, it was a huge blessing.

Unknown 5:06
Yeah, so so many women are, are, are even meant to are in this space, that they don’t really like what they’re doing that they’re in those spaces that you are in, how do you help them transition, it sounds like that’s what you help people do to find that inner peace and live the life of their dreams. So walk us through some of the processes to get there.

Unknown 5:25
Absolutely. Because a lot of folks, they’ll realize, you know, Sarah, I want to make these huge changes in my life, no matter what they are, won’t change job, change career, start a business. But what they don’t understand is that it’s not just, oh, I need to up and quit my job, or I need to completely restructure my life in a day. It doesn’t happen like that, right? It’s it’s a much, much more intimate process. And so I helped take them step by step into understanding, okay, the pages that you want in your life, no matter what they are, what are actually the feelings and the results you want from those changes, right. Because we think we’re seeking an achievement, or we’re think we’re seeking a goal being met. But it’s actually the feeling of having that thing, the feeling of experiencing that desire is what we truly are looking for. Because so many of us and I, I did this to, we achieve a goal we think we want, but then we don’t feel the joy and fulfillment and success that we thought it would bring us. And so we take a step back, and I help them see that what you’re looking for is the feeling. And we determine what that is, I walk them through process to help them rediscover the wants that they want the desire or the feelings that go along with those desires. And then we start working on them before we can take any roadmap or make a plan of how they’re going to literally change their external life, we have to actually dig deep into them. Because so many driven and successful folks, they’re very action oriented, they do they get goals, they get making a plan and acting on it, right, which is what we’re taught so much to do, like, just take action, right, and you’ll get everything you want, I help them okay, let’s put on the brakes a little bit, you’ve mastered this area, you’ve mastered taking action, right. But that is all on the physical exterior. And what these folks don’t realize. And I was in the same boat is there are three levels inside of you that you haven’t been nurturing and supporting, as well as the outside of you, the action part. And so I walk them through a process so that they can understand what are their mental needs, what are their emotional needs, what are their spiritual needs that are going to support them from the inside out so that their physical actions will actually bring those feelings of fulfillment and joy that they want. And so it’s unique to everyone. Because we all have different desires, we all have different goals and different traits. And so I help them uncover where they need to focus on inside in order to bring it out fully. So you can feel fulfilled and joy, the exact feelings that you’re seeking, you can feel that within a day, without your circumstances, changing at all. And that’s what we that’s the starting step right there.

Unknown 8:41
Yeah, I love that. I think a lot of times whether, you know, business owners, entrepreneurs, even if you have a job, a lot of times you whether you’re a mom, or a dad, or a single parent, or, or married parent, you’re thinking about all these things, you have to get on the outside the action steps, you’re thinking about all these things, and you don’t stop to think about the inside and you and how you feel or your mist are or what you’re thinking about it, you just are doing all these things. I remember taking a I had to do take a survey at a doctor’s office. And it was asking me all these questions. And it was when my kids were a little bit little or and the questions were all about how I felt like, do you feel tired of this time? Do you feel in all these different feelings? And do you have stomach aches, all these different things? And I’m like, I don’t know, I’ve never really stopped to say how am I feeling right now? Like I’ve never had that moment because I’m yeah, on the go all the time, worrying about how my kids are feeling burdened by my husband is feeling worrying about how what what needs to be done the business worrying about the laundry or whatever, like you’re just do, I was doing everything besides thinking about myself. And I think sometimes you do have to take that step back. And like you said, and assess, how do you feel? And how do you want to fill

Unknown 9:54
Yeah, and awareness about that, right, because we get cold. so caught up in the doing that we’re not aware of what we’re actually doing to ourselves. And we’ve lost that ability to take care of ourselves from the inside. I mean, the world has evolved really well about taking care of our physical bodies and being clean. But I say, you know what, self care and self love is so much more than just showing your face. That’s just plain hygiene, right? And so I’m so excited because the world is really waking up to this idea that if you want to be successful in business, if you want to be successful with your goals, or life or any achievement that you want to have is it comes from the inside out and so I love all this knowledge, this blossoming blossoming into the world right now about that.

Unknown 10:42
Yeah, so many can I find teenagers, whether it’s teen agers all the way up to, you know, adults, but there’s an epidemic among teenagers, that they’re having suicides, and a lot of it is they don’t feel like they’re enough. They don’t know who they are. And it’s trying to find who who that is, what do you do when you go into a company that transitions what kind of what kind of results are you saying, When you walk them through this process for employees, whether it’s a, you know, like Jen and I are a small Corporation, so, but there’s tons of entrepreneurs out there, that might be a one or two person shop, versus a 15 person, employees or 100 people. So what kind of transition to UC and results you see from this,

Unknown 11:24
it’s actually incredible, because when you’re talking about the workplace, whether it be, you know, a huge team of hundreds, or just a small group, we all have our own perceptions. The perception is how we filter our experiences based on our past experiences. So for example, whenever there is a disagreement or, or conflict in the workplace, amongst team members, it is almost always because of those individuals perceptions about the situation. And so what I love is helping folks, especially female executives, is helping them see your stress, but with your coworker, your your tension or disagreement there, it’s simply because there’s some sort of experience inside of us some sort of past hurt that simply hasn’t healed yet. And we help them become aware of that. And one of my life, I have to share this my like life mission, I’ve decided is to help the world understand that if we all understood more about perception, then taking offense wouldn’t happen anymore. Blaming and acting victimized wouldn’t happen anymore. And so in the workplace, when we realize, Oh, my gosh, this negative thing I see about this team member, it’s actually being triggered because of this experience, or this past thought, or this bad habit I had, maybe it’s from decades before, maybe it’s still going on right now. But when you understand is all about me, has nothing to do with them. Those relationships are so much calmer. And so I mean, obviously, I can’t go into a team and fix, you know, every single issue that maybe is going on in a day. But what I love to see is that I can help them over the course of a few months, simply change their awareness around how the relationships are working. And you see more productivity, you see more engaged folks in your workplace, you see them happier with their job, you see managers and bosses more supportive of their their team members underneath them, and helping them get to where they want to go. People are more open to share struggles or frustrations or even disagreements about projects, you know, that we’re working on and finding more creative solutions in a much faster and peace well, manner. And it’s, it’s incredible it have, you can do this in your own family as well, not just the workplace. But it’s really one of those things that you can apply anywhere in your life. And you’re going to see improvement.

Unknown 14:14
I love that. I think the perception thing is a big thing. I mean, a lot of people will say, you know, think of how they put yourself in their shoes, right? You hear that expression, but I think it’s more than that. It’s not just putting yourself in their experience, it’s more of a perception of, you know, how are they perceiving you, and how are you perceiving them?

Unknown 14:35
Exactly,

Unknown 14:37
yeah, tell us where we can reach you and how to get ahold of you to if they want someone to come you know you to come into their company or do it one on one?

Unknown 14:47

Ownership is great and being online helps open you up to the other options out there. When self-publishing you may experience struggles with getting your books enough exposure. However, the costs and experience of putting the book together can bring about many revelations. Here are a few keys to success:

Focus and get it done –

One challenge of self-publishing is the lack of deadlines. You can become too relaxed in terms of demands on your own time. If you have no deadline pushing you, you can take as long as 10 years or more. You may have to create your own deadlines and it may mean being a hermit at home to write sometimes.

Relax and let it flow –

You will have writer’s block. This can cause your project to take longer. Don’t pressure yourself too much. Relax through it and go with the flow. Allow yourself some grace during the dry spells while remembering your objective and it will come to you.

Research and ask for help –

Research, Google and YouTube searches are your friends. Do your research. Join writing groups and ask questions. People are more willing to help than you realize. You may choose to pay someone for their service. Editors and others can make your book more polished. Others can help with publicity. There are companies out there like ours that can facilitate much of the busy work. We can take many of the hassles out of a challenging endeavor.  If you don’t love research, dealing with Facebook, waiting for uploads, formatting then you may want a partner in publishing.  That’s where a company like ours comes into play.  We can find and facilitate the services you need to succeed.

Thicken your skin –

If you’ve asked people to critique your work, do not be hurt when they say ‘this reads wrong’ or ‘I don’t understand this’ because that will sink any sort of mistakes that people will catch. One of our authors, Author Cory Jenkins, who just published the Amazon bestseller “I Love Myself So… A Guide to Creating a Life You Love,” said “You can read your own book as many times as you like and still miss so many mistakes. You know what you mean to say so your mind reads it that way.  Also, if you’re reading it just after writing it, then you read it as you meant to write it.  You need a gap in between writing and reading. When I came back and read my book after a few months, I found several mistakes that grammar check wouldn’t normally catch. None of which I had noticed because I knew what I meant to say. I also saw flaws in the organization that I had missed before. I was able to completely reorganize it and release the second edition.”

Make it a priority –

Outside pressures from work, friends, and family will come. The best way to view writing your book is as a second job. Give it as much importance as anything in life that you want to get done. You have nobody to police you, but you, so prioritize, to keep from getting frustrated.

There will be an incredible line-up of authors joining hosts RichFahle & JeffreyBrown from PBS Newshour.

Social media can attract new fans and customers, generate leads, and drive traffic back to your website. However, it is challenging to constantly be on top of your social media presence.

This post will show you how to use scheduling tools to save time and boost your social media results.

Why Schedule Social Media?

It saves you time and can actually help improve your results. Here’s how:

• Helps plan a good mix of content to ensure you diversify your updates
• Schedule your most important updates when your audience is online
• Allows you to actively engage your audience
• Improves your social media ROI

Scheduling Options

Social media scheduling used to be straightforward: pick a time and date and the tool will post the update for you. However, scheduling has evolved to offer several ways to make scheduling easier and more effective:

• Create a queue of posts to be shared automatically by the tool
• Create multiple queues based on the content of the update, each with their own time slots
• Create queues that automatically re-share the updates in them
• Upload multiple updates in bulk from a spreadsheet
• Pull all the latest posts from an URL to schedule them faster

What To Schedule

Some social posts are perfect for scheduling; others are better shared in real time.

You can schedule:

• Evergreen content is basically any content that stands the test of time and remains relevant for months such as blog posts, videos, infographics, and so on. These are perfect to re-shared regularly in order to boost their results and reach
• Promotional updates or marketing campaigns needing to be carefully planned ahead of time should be scheduled at the times of maximum impact
• Images and any other visuals

Focus On Your Goals

Social media activity should reflect your overall marketing goals. The updates you post should help you achieve your objectives:

• To boost your engagement, schedule more images and other visual content and ask more questions
• To boost your website traffic, promote your blog posts and website more often
• To become more influential, post more news and curate more content

You can build the ideal content ahead of time for any goal you have and schedule it. This gives you time to make your posts better and then engage with your fans and followers.

Useful Social Media Marketing Tools For Scheduling

Here are some of the best social media scheduling options on the market, with a rundown of their features.

Buffer

Buffer is an easy-to-use social media scheduling and analytics tool for quick scheduling; it has very intuitive interface and works with Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Google+, and Instagram.

The biggest attraction is the queue, which is quick to set up; you add time slots for each day and then upload all the updates you want. The tool will then automatically publish your updates at those times, throughout the day, until it runs out of them.

Certain updates should be scheduled at specific times; but for other updates, like re-shares or blog posts, it’s a great way to save more time (as you won’t have to schedule each update every time you upload something new).

You can also add URLs with RSS feeds to see their latest posts and schedule them or add them to your queue. Plus, you have access to content analytics to help you understand how to optimize your posting schedule based on your updates’ results.

Agorapulse

Agorapulse, a social media management tool, is an all-in-one-tool with several scheduling options and that works with Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Google+, and YouTube.

It has an intuitive, easy-to-use interface that allows you to fully manage your accounts.

In terms of scheduling, you get several useful features and options:

• Upload all of your updates in bulk from a spreadsheet to schedule or queue them all in one go
• Use the social media calendar to plan and schedule updates
• Create several different queues for all your different types of content: evergreen posts to re-share, curated content to share throughout the day, and so on
• You then set time slots for each queue category, decide which posts you want re-shared, set expiration dates for time-sensitive posts, and make all kinds of customizations to make sure your queues run smoothly and automatically
• Use the URL of a website with an RSS feed to automatically pull that publications’ latest content and quickly schedule it

Apart from all of these diverse scheduling features, you can also use Agorapulse for social listening, responding to comments and mentions, and checking your analytics, among other features.

MeetEdgar

MeetEdgar is a great solution for small businesses that have little time for handling their social media marketing. And while it’s not that great for spontaneity or customization, MeetEdgar will help you save a lot of time by automating your updates as much as possible.

It works with Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn and it has one main — and attractive — feature: the queue categories.

As with Agorapulse, you can create as many categories as you like, build the schedule as you want for each category, and then simply upload your updates (including in bulk from a spreadsheet) to automate the whole process.

Unless you specify otherwise, the tool will automatically share and re-share your updates at the specified frequency and times, until you stop them. That is what makes MeetEdgar such an attractive option: You can pretty much automate your entire social media posting and leave plenty of time to engage and create new content which you can then add to your queues.

Another useful feature is that you can use the URLs of your preferred publications and blogs. The tool then asks you which queue you want to add the new items to so that it automatically adds them and shares them as per the queues’ settings.

Use social media scheduling wisely and follow the tips in this article to help build a better posting schedule. It will save time and help you improve your results from social media marketing.

Remember that:

• There are different types of scheduling options that can help you save even more time, depending on how you want to schedule a post
• When creating and scheduling social media updates, take the time to make sure that your social media activity will help you achieve your objectives
• Take the time to actually engage with people in real time
• Don’t schedule everything!
