Starting a business is an exciting yet challenging journey—especially for women juggling multiple responsibilities. Whether you’re a mum trying to balance family life, a full-time employee looking to transition into entrepreneurship, or simply tired of feeling stuck, the reality of building a successful business can feel overwhelming. The biggest challenge? Finding clients and making consistent sales while already stretched thin.

Many women start their businesses with passion, determination, and a social media page… but then reality hits. Your Instagram and Facebook pages are up and running, but the engagement is low. You’re putting in effort, yet conversions just aren’t happening. Between daily life pressures, financial concerns, and sheer exhaustion, it’s hard to know where to start or how to make marketing work without draining yourself even more.

So, let’s break it down into simple, actionable steps.

1. Know Your Audience – Speak Their Language

Before you can attract your ideal clients, you need to define who they are. Ask yourself:

• Who are they?

• What are their biggest struggles?

• How does your product/service solve their problem?

  
  

Think about how they talk about their problems and desires. If you can mirror their language in your content, it will resonate more deeply and make them feel seen. This builds trust and encourages engagement.

💡 Example: A beauty salon targeting mums could post: “Juggling kids, work, and life? Our express facials give you glowing skin in just 30 minutes—because self-care shouldn’t be a luxury.”

💡 Tip: Instead of saying, “We offer high-quality skincare products,” try “Say goodbye to tired, dry skin with an easy 3-step routine—perfect for busy mums.” See the difference?

2. Engagement Over Followers – Build Connections That Sell

A common mistake entrepreneurs make is focusing too much on follower count instead of engagement. 10,000 followers mean nothing if they aren’t interested in what you’re selling. Instead, focus on building real connections.

✅ Respond to comments & DMs quickly.

✅ Start conversations in your posts—ask questions!

✅ Go LIVE & share behind-the-scenes moments.

✅ Be real in your content—people buy from people they trust.

💡 Example: A pet grooming business could post: “Show us your dog’s ‘before’ look and we’ll match it with an ‘after’ from one of our happy clients! 📸🐶” This encourages engagement and showcases results.

💡 Tip: Use Instagram Stories & polls to spark conversations. Example: “Ladies, what’s your biggest struggle with skincare right now? Dryness or breakouts? Vote below!” This makes followers feel heard, and you can tailor your content based on their responses.

3. Content That Sells – The Right Mix

Not all posts should be promotional. The key is to mix content that builds relationships, educates, and sells. Here’s a simple strategy:

• 40% Educational: Teach them something valuable related to your industry.

• 30% Engagement: Relatable, fun, or interactive posts to connect with your audience.

• 20% Social Proof: Share testimonials, case studies, or behind-the-scenes.

• 10% Direct Sales: Promote your products/services with a strong CTA.

  
  

💡 Example: A café could post: “Did you know drinking coffee before a workout boosts performance? Grab a pre-gym espresso from us & feel the difference! ☕💪”

💡 Tip: Stop just posting “Buy this now” and instead show how your product/service fits into their life. Storytelling sells!

4. Stop Trying to Do Everything Yourself

If marketing feels overwhelming, it’s because it is—a full-time job in itself! Between social media, content creation, SEO, and engagement, it’s a LOT to manage. The truth? You don’t have to do it alone.

Outsourcing your marketing is the smartest investment you can make. Instead of spending hours trying to learn the latest algorithm changes, let an expert handle it so you can focus on what you do best—running your business and serving your clients.

💡 What Not to Do:

❌ Don’t post randomly without a plan.

❌ Don’t copy competitors—your brand should be unique.

❌ Don’t give up too soon. Marketing is a long game!
