Share: Sharing is caring! Share posts or a podcast you find helpful from a small business. Make a post about the event you’re attending and help them get more people to join in too. Sharing can be as simple as passing something along and saying, “I’m going will I see you there?” or “I’m listening, are you?” 2. Engage and Comment. Leave a thoughtful comment and provide feedback, encouragement, ask a question, open up conversation, the options are endless. You can do this on social media, a blog post or Substack article, replying to their email, a podcast review, an online Google review, a LinkedIn recommendation, or just a personal thoughtful little note. 3. Shoutout. Think about the last great experience you had with a small business owner you wish to support. Post about what you loved in working with them and TAG them online!
