Good morning, I’m Ashley with Tranquil Business Solutions here

I just wanted to make a quick video this morning based on what i’ve been seeing

on the internet recently. I have a couple friends and people that I don’t even know posting about their services and their

products, that they’re trying to sell. They’re trying to drum up business, they’re trying to do social media marketing, and one thing that some people don’t understand is it’s still work you still have to plan some of it out and i’m going to give you some tips and tricks that you can use if you don’t have a website. You don’t have a website but you probably have a social media account this could be instagram, facebook, tick tock, deviantart is that still a thing, twitter that’s kind of a thing still, i don’t know whatever it is that you use have a dedicated page for whatever it is you’re trying to sell.

If you’re trying to do a service let’s say you are trying to offer a reiki and you put it out there. You’re like “hey i’m offering reiki!” You should list your availability, how to get in contact with you, and what it is.  These three things will give people a very quick way to read what you’re offering and be able to make a decision right on the spot if you want to really convince them or really put out what it is that you do, put in a why this is beneficial for them,  and you give them how to contact you. That could be via dm or email, you should have a dedicated email just to keep everything organized. What it is you’re offering can be super specific.

like if you are only offering reiki on thursdays between the hours of 4 and 8 p.m put that in there. If you are only available on the weekends put that in there. And then you should also probably put in why they should contact you because this could give them a reason to do so for example you should contact me if you have anxiety and are looking for inner peace to help you overcome your anxiety. As a reiki practitioner this could really convince someone that says you know what i’ve been i’ve been looking for a sign i don’t know what to do i have been really anxious blah blah blah blah and bam there you go they you gave them a reason. All of those things need to be in your post, bottom line, so if you’re already posting about it you can go back and change your post to include some of this information. You have all your posts and they have your landing page or social that you want to be contacted on or email or whatever it is that it has a way to get a hold of you you should probably also put where they can find out more information. You don’t want to overdo it with your posting you don’t want to add a page or two of information but you should still have a page or two of information and there’s lots of ways to do this for free .

For example you can have a pretty basic mail munch or mailchimp account this helps you gather email addresses so you can send mass emails.  This allows you to have a page that’s dedicated to just the information that you want to give to your customer base. You can also do google, google suite has a lot of really good stuff in there they have things like google forms that you can just post out there and you can gather information that way you can build it however you want now you can also just have google docs and then have a shared view only link where people can view what it is that you’re working on or view the information that you want to give to them and this is a great way to keep everything organized. That’s why i also recommend that you have a dedicated gmail account it’s free and you get a little bit of storage with that and it’s on the cloud so there’s a lot of easy and accessible ways that you can give the information out and you can also record the information. Did you put all the information needed on there are you expecting people to just to know what it is you’re offering. Going back with my reiki example if someone asks you hey what is reiki you should have a pre-made and ready response. You can use the google forms or you could use the google docs i mean that i mentioned earlier and this is a good way to just copy and paste something and then it says hey i made this already to tell you what this is. It could be a product like why should i use this new makeup palette and you could just say well these are the reasons why. Like it’s you know think of things that people might care about for example affordability, uh not tested on animals, that’s a big one for me um there’s just there’s a lot of stuff that you could kind of think about with that kind of thing so yeah just put in as much information as you can because people are going to have a lot of questions. So then when they ask those questions you can just send them that thing over they can read it and you don’t have to write something like “google it”.

I’ve seen that before and it just comes off really rude. Even if you didn’t mean it to be rude and you’re just like hey you can just google this and find out on your own or do your own research. Most people don’t do their own research so it’s best to have that information ready to go to convince that person to work with you or buy your product. Another one that i just wanted to put out there which seemed obvious to someone like me but it might not be obvious to everyone, link your link, all of it right ! If you comment on someone else’s post saying hey i happen to offer these things. You can link your bio, in your comment, link your website in the comment link your social in the comment whatever it is link it in the comments. If you have instagram

perfect way to start using that linktr.ee you just got put your linktr.ee in your bio and then you say something like link in the bio

or my link is in the bio or something along those lines so that people go back to your instagram account and click on the link tree and see all the different things that they can get from you services products whatever. I hope this video helped clear some things up and is going to help you sell your services and products online.  I’m Ashley with tranquil bs until next time!
