The Secret To Building Your Brand - Social Media Manager Kieran Kevan

For this episode, Alex is joined by Kieran Kevan who is a global social media manager, Fitness Champion and coach. Regardless of the type of business you run you´ve got to have a brand, which means building a really strong social media presence and learning to engage people within the 3-second attention window. If you don´t you won´t be the brand that people think of when they reach the buying stage. A stage they are only at for a very brief period. Buyers scroll and research for 95% of the time and are only in buying mode for 5% of the time. Kieran and Alex also have an in-depth conversation about the ethics of using clickbait on your social channels.

To stand a chance of finding investors you need to have a good social presence. Sharing written posts on LinkedIn is a good place for property entrepreneurs to get started. A significant percentage of the people who use the channel will have money to invest.  If you do not post consistently, the algorithm will penalise you. 95% of the time your audience is in consideration mode. They are researching and deciding whether to buy or not. You need to stay front of mind so that you are who they think of when they eventually reach the buying stage. Social is what will keep you at the front of potential buyers ‘minds. Personality and consistency are the key. People buy people. Tell stories to evoke emotions. When you do that people relate and stay with you. Grow with your audience. Initially cast your net wide. Catchy headlines are essential, but they have to be honest. If they are not the leads you get will not result in sales.  Focus on conversions and play the longer game. If you use Facebook focus on using your personal page rather than your business page. Invest in getting your socials working properly. Pay someone who knows to tell you what to do.
