Your comments matter: Everything you do publicly is a representation of your brand, so be intentional!

How you show up online is a direct extension of your brand. This goes beyond what you’re posting on your business social media accounts, or on your company website and blog, and also encompasses any comments you decide to share online.

When you show up authentically and positively, engaging with other brands and content in appropriate ways, it can do wonders for your company's growth.

On the other hand, if you find yourself regularly commenting on posts without taking pause first to consider how those comments might be perceived by your audience, you might end up regretting those moments of keyboard courage.

How to test the credibility of the experts you highlight

Though most of the time random quotes and mentions of an author or creator won't have an impact on your brand or reputation, doing a little extra work to vet the people you highlight in your content is a good way to reinforce what you stand for.

It’s almost inevitable that consumers will draw parallels between you, your business, and the content you’re sharing. Whether those associations are positive or negative is largely up to you.

Don’t risk losing the trust of your audience because of something that could be avoided with some upfront time and energy on your end.

The long game of marketing and how to play it for sustainable business growth

It takes any business time to build a robust marketing program. It's not something that will happen in a day, a week, or even a year. This is particularly important to realize if you’re frustrated with the growth (or lack thereof) you’ve seen in your business so far. It’s understandable if you’re starting to wonder if your business will ever take off.

Is marketing the magic bullet that will save your business? It can be. The question is whether that momentum will come within the timeline you need or desire.

Does your messaging speak to the customers you want to attract?

Messaging can be a real "tug of war of words.” It can be a challenging process because it often leads to a realization that how you talk about your business doesn’t quite accomplish what you thought it would. There can be a few different reasons for that.
