Alex, a marketing and design professional as well as a new dad, shares practical advice on building a strong online presence without feeling overwhelmed.
He explains how to choose the right platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or LinkedIn, and why before-and-after photos, client testimonials, and project highlights can be some of the most powerful content for showcasing your work. Alex also covers the importance of a simple content calendar, the value of consistency over quantity, and how engagement and Google reviews can dramatically improve your online reputation. You’ll also hear about common pitfalls to avoid, the benefits of outsourcing social media management, and the key performance indicators that truly matter when measuring success.
