# Social Media Marketing

## Overview
Social media is where your audience already spends time. Done well, it builds brand awareness, credibility, and a community around your business. Done poorly, it's a time sink with zero ROI. This playbook helps solopreneurs focus their social efforts on the platforms and tactics that actually drive results.

## Step 1: Choose Your Platform(s)

You can't be everywhere. Pick 1-2 platforms where your ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) actually hangs out and focus there.

**Platform selection guide:**

| Platform | Best For | Content Type | Time Investment | B2B or B2C? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **LinkedIn** | Professionals, B2B, thought leadership | Long-form posts, articles, insights | Medium (3-5 posts/week) | B2B |
| **Twitter/X** | Real-time discussion, indie hackers, tech | Short threads, hot takes, commentary | High (daily posting) | Both |
| **Instagram** | Visual products, lifestyle, B2C | Images, reels, stories | High (daily stories + 3-5 posts/week) | B2C |
| **TikTok** | Younger demos, viral content, entertainment | Short videos (15-60 sec) | High (daily posting) | B2C |
| **YouTube** | Educational content, long-form | Videos (5-20 min) | Very high (1-2 videos/week) | Both |
| **Facebook** | Local businesses, older demos, groups | Mixed (text, images, video) | Medium (2-4 posts/week) | B2C |
| **Reddit** | Niche communities, problem-solvers | Text discussions, AMAs | Low but targeted (weekly in 2-3 subreddits) | Both |

**Selection criteria:**
1. **Where does your ICP spend time?** SaaS founders = Twitter/LinkedIn. E-commerce brands = Instagram/TikTok. Local service businesses = Facebook.
2. **What content format do you NOT hate creating?** If you hate being on camera, don't pick TikTok or YouTube.
3. **What's your goal?** Brand building = Twitter/LinkedIn. Direct sales = Instagram/Facebook. Thought leadership = LinkedIn/YouTube.

**Rule:** Start with ONE platform. Master it before expanding. One platform done well beats three platforms done poorly.

## Step 2: Define Your Social Media Goals

Every post should serve a goal. Pick 1-2 primary goals for your social presence:

- **Brand awareness** (more people know you exist)
- **Community building** (engaged audience that discusses and shares)
- **Lead generation** (capture emails or DMs from interested prospects)
- **Traffic** (drive people to your website or content)
- **Authority** (position yourself as an expert)

**Goal → Content mapping:**
- Brand awareness = consistent presence, shareable content, hooks
- Community building = replies, conversations, engagement with others' content
- Lead generation = clear CTAs, lead magnets, "DM me for X"
- Traffic = link posts with value-driven teasers
- Authority = educational content, case studies, insights, original thinking

## Step 3: Build a Content Mix (The 80/20 Rule)

Don't sell in every post. It alienates your audience and kills engagement.

**Content ratio:**
- **80% value** (educational, entertaining, or engaging content)
- **20% promotion** (product mentions, offers, CTAs)

**Content types to mix:**

| Type | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
| **Educational** | Teach something useful | "Here's how to automate X in 5 steps" |
| **Inspirational** | Motivate or share a mindset shift | "The one belief that changed how I approach pricing" |
| **Personal** | Build connection and relatability | "Her
