⭐️Can I really get my ideal client from social media marketing? Susan says look at the numbers - everyone is on these social platforms, and you need to go where your clients are. From social media alone, Susan and Paul’s business has grown tremendously. When you’re posting consistently and putting your content out there, your clients are attracted to that. If there is a client out there who isn’t a good fit for you, and they look at your content, they’ll never call you. But if someone’s looking at your content and watching your videos, they’ll usually do it for a while before they call you. They’re often a better fit because they’ve taken the time to prescreen you - they likely have made a decision before they even call you! Based on this, the quality of people reaching out to you will be better than traditional advertising.

⭐️Susan and Paul advise that if you’re not creating video content right now (and you’re hesitant to begin), start small. Instead of jumping in front of a camera, experiment with visuals, pictures, and concepts - you don’t necessarily have to be in the video at first. Take videos of your next project, drawing, job site, or whatever feels right. Eventually, you can start to appear in the videos, beginning with a quick snippet, and working up from there. Susan says she’s the last person who wants to be on video, but realized she wouldn’t get better if she didn’t try. Looking back, Paul says they “weren’t good” when they first started, but to be fair…nobody is! If you’re worried about starting, and find yourself paralyzed by fear of failure, you have to get over it or else you’ll never get started at all. You don’t have to be perfect…you don’t even have to be “good.” At the end of the day, you’re not auditioning for a role; you’re just documenting what you do and connecting with your clients, sharing your authentic self.
