It's Cost-Effective

One of the best things about social media is that it's incredibly cost-effective. All you need is a computer and an internet connection. It’s free advertising. Compare that to print or radio advertising.

It's Targeted

Another great thing about social media is that it allows you to target a specific audience. Let's say you're a fitness coach who specializes in helping people lose weight. You can use Facebook's targeting options to ensure your ads are seen by people interested in losing weight. This way, you're not wasting your time on ads that no one will notice.

It's Personalized

Lastly, social media allows you to build relationships with your target audience through personalized messages and content. This is something that other marketing channels can't provide. By building relationships with your target audience, you'll be able to turn them into lifelong fans and customers.

How to Use Social Media to Scale your Business

Pick The Right Platforms

There are a lot of social media platforms out there, and it can be tempting to try and be active on them. But trust us, that's not necessary! Trying to maintain a presence on too many platforms will spread you thin and prevent you from being truly effective on any of them.

Instead, take some time to research which platforms will be most beneficial for your business. If you're not sure where to start, consider these questions:

- Who is your target audience?

- Which platforms do they use most frequently?

- What kind of content will you be sharing?

Once you've answered those questions, you'll better understand which platforms to focus on. And speaking of content.,

Share Valuable Content

One of the biggest things we see fitness businesses need to improve on social media is sharing content that could be more valuable to their audience. Remember, people follow companies on social media because they're looking for something specific—make sure you're giving them what they want! People will lose interest quickly if all you’re sharing is promotional material or content already widely available elsewhere.

To ensure that the content you're sharing is valuable, try offering something exclusive to your social media followers. It could be anything from early access to new products or services to behind-the-scenes looks at your business. Your followers will appreciate the insider access and feel more connected to your brand.
