Step 1: Uniformity and Clarity in Your Profiles

Before you start creating content, it's essential to ensure consistency across all your social media accounts, be it Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, or LinkedIn. Make sure your usernames are the same across all platforms, and your bios are similar. Each bio should include a link to your website and a clear call to action, such as "Contact me for a custom design" or "Book an appointment for a consultation." This consistency and clarity will help potential customers easily connect with your business.

Step 2: The Nine Essential Content Types

Now, let's explore the nine types of content you should focus on for your woodworking business:

1. Facility and Product Showcase: Share pictures and videos of your woodworking facility, shop, showroom, or factory. Highlight the various products you offer, from custom furniture to lumber milling and renovations.

2. About Us and Company Bio: Create a video or written content that tells your audience about your business's history, vision, mission, and values. Share how long you've been in business to humanize your brand.

Step 3: Content Creation and Editing

To streamline the content creation process, consider using tools like Chat GPT to write scripts and captions. Video editing software like Cap Cut, iMovie, or Instagram's built-in editor can help you compile photos and B-roll footage. Add a voiceover to enhance your content's impact.

“if you want to stay relevant, just stay on on the daily, just post stories to Instagram and habits sync to your Facebook personal or business page.”
