Best Social Media for Small Business: How to Find Balance When You’re Overwhelmed Online

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by social media? It can feel like there are so many decisions that must be made. They ALL seem urgent. (Spoiler: They aren’t.)     You have probably heard a lot of things about social media. You may have thought: •     I need to be on ALL the social media platforms. •     To stay relevant, I need to be on the newest, most popular platforms.  •     I don’t have content for social media. •     I need to have the right hashtags and use as many as I can. •     When my audience engages, I have to respond immediately.   Luckily, they are all FALSE.

What is a Conversion Rate and Which ones are Important?

  You have a newsletter sign-up or an informational form on your website that you want your audience to complete. Or you have products for sale in your e-commerce store that you want your audience to purchase. Every time a member of your audience completes a desired action, you convert them. But how do you know how successfully you are converting viewers? Conversion rates are a good predictor of success or failure.   What is a conversion rate and how do you calculate it?   Pretend you are staffing a booth at an outdoor market and your goal is to have people fill out an interest form. Some people will come walk by and read some of the information on your signs. Others will stop to talk with you. There will be people who start to fill out the form but leave before they are finished. (Maybe their dog pulled them after a squirrel.) Finally, there will be people who will fill out the interest form. They completed the desired action! You want visitors to your website to convert...
