Welcome to Nicole Reacts, where I react to online marketing guru trainings that I find on the internet.

Today it’s our gal, Rach Hollis who gave marketing advice to the Entreleadership podcast in 2018. Everything I say in this video is backed up with sources below. Since it’s a lot of links, I’ve tried to group them a bit. OG podcast episode link:

Rachel’s Seven Social Media Strategies from this episode:
1. Welcome everyone but market to a specific someone.
2. Go deep with your marketing, not wide.
3. Build a community, one at a time.
4. Give as much as you ask.
5. Be clear (and have an actual) call to action.
6. Content is king; post content that is on-brand.
7. Be on the right social media channels.
