6 Simple Steps to Build a Social Media Strategy That Actually Works

by | Jul 11, 2025 | Marketing | 0 comments

– let’s turn your ideas into impact

Social media is one of the coziest (and most powerful) ways to connect with your audience, grow your brand, and share what you do with the world. But instead of winging it, let’s talk strategy—because posting with purpose makes everything feel easier.

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to building a social media marketing strategy that feels aligned, engaging, and sustainable—especially if you’re a solo entrepreneur doing it all yourself.


🌸 Step 1: Set Clear, Feel-Good Goals

Start by asking yourself: What do I want to achieve on social media?

  • Do you want to grow your audience?
  • Drive traffic to your shop?
  • Build community or increase engagement?

Clarity here helps you stay focused, measure progress, and avoid the “post and hope” trap.


🌸 Step 2: Choose the Right Platforms for You

You don’t need to be on every platform. Focus on where your dream customers hang out and where you enjoy showing up.

  • Love visuals? Try Instagram or Pinterest.
  • Prefer writing? LinkedIn or Facebook might be your thing.
  • Into short-form videos? TikTok could be worth exploring.

Pick 1–2 platforms to start—and give yourself permission to keep it simple.


🌸 Step 3: Plan Content That Feels Valuable + Personal

Your content should help, inspire, or connect with your audience. Think behind-the-scenes moments, mini tutorials, relatable stories, or favorite tools you actually use.

💡 Not sure what to post? My content planning tools were designed to help you brainstorm, organize, and share with confidence—without burning out.


🌸 Step 4: Use a Content Calendar (Your New Best Friend)

A content calendar helps you stay consistent without feeling chaotic. You can plan out weekly themes, special promos, or cozy seasonal content in advance.
Pro tools like Trello, Notion, or a simple Google Sheet can work wonders—especially when paired with a printable or digital planner. (Yes, I have those too 😉)


🌸 Step 5: Post + Promote Your Content With Intention

When it’s time to share, think quality over quantity. Use hashtags, captions, and platform tools (like Reels or Stories) to give your content a little boost. And don’t forget to include links, CTAs, or reminders that lead people back to your blog, shop, or email list.

✨ Friendly tip: It’s okay to repurpose your content across platforms. One great post can become an email, reel, pin, or story.


🌸 Step 6: Track What’s Working (and What’s Not)

Check in on your performance regularly—likes, shares, saves, clicks, comments. These little insights show you what’s landing with your audience and where you can improve. If a post flops, no biggie! Just adjust, try something new, and keep going.
