My Social Media Relationship Audit

Right now, social media feels soul-suckingly stressful in my business. 😒

Social media has never felt like somewhere I want to call home. I’ve never wanted to be an influencer or a content creator. I remember when social media was truly about connection with those you knew (though I really wasn't on it then either) and now it just feels like a contest made for extroverted people who’s trying to make us all compete to see who can find the most “friends” (followers) like currency.

I’ve been a freelance Business of One for the last 5 years and have sustained my business without the use of social media. Now I feel like I don’t necessarily own my time the same way I did when I started. I’m missing that ✨creative spark✨ I used to have and now want to enjoy my business again.

As a writer and editor at heart and in practice, I know that sharing through ✍🏽 is probably the route I need to take, but social media has made it seem like we have to be physically visible to even matter or find our people. That’s where the amount of choices out there gets to be overwhelming too. Instagram feels like too much. I think I’ll like YouTube. Maybe Substack works better. Maybe Pinterest and/or Threads as a second funnel. It can get exhausting to know what to choose what’s best for me. 😵‍💫

That’s where I get stuck. Because I just want to make a good living reading books, writing stories, and editing manuscripts for amazing women who want to tell their story. 💜

I think we’re being convinced that social media is necessary to do that so people push that, but I don’t think so…or maybe just don’t want that to be true for everyone.

I appreciate you all for reading this. 🫶🏽 As you see, I can write a lot with relative ease; however, when thinking about social media content, *🦉 🦉🦉*. I'm still figuring out my lane while trying to have some fun while doing it (if that's even possible) but I know that email is definitely a route I want to take. Now to get people to find it and join — that's my next step for now.
