Who is the challenge for?

Anyone!  Any business owner, whether you're near the start of your business or a bit further on, if you struggle with:

- what to write in your social media

- what on earth can you post about today

- really don't have time to think about what to post today!

- and of course, getting visible and getting your business out there to more people

What am I going to learn about and how will it help my business?

The challenge is a simple one, with thirty daily prompts that you can use each day in November, to share your brand and your business with your audience, on whichever social media platform you choose (or even all of them!). 

It will help you share your brand, your message, your products and services, and most of all you, with your audience, concentrating on helping them to get to know you, like you and trust you, and get them wanting to buy from you too.

- Accelerate the know/like/trust process so your potential customers and clients want to buy from you

– Connect you to your audience much more easily, and turn them into buyers and loyal fans

– Enable you to share your personality and build your personal brand whilst you’re at it too.

When and where will the challenge take place?

Sign up to the challenge here in the Academy, and you'll get access to the whole month's prompts so you can start planning your posts in advance if you wish.  You'll also get a weekly email to remind you of the challenge prompts for the following 7 days.

Then use the prompts to write your posts in whichever social media platform(s) you wish to. 

We also have a private pop-up Facebook group for the challenge, so come and add your posts to the accountability thread in there, ask questions, and get support.  Plus we can cheer each other on, you can get more visible in there too, and I can encourage you to keep going!   You'll get the link once you've joined the challenge.

Plus there's my free Facebook group, Your Brand Story  too, where we are having a Visibility themed month, so hang out in there too for more tips and free trainings. 

How long does the challenge take?

It's running for the month of November 2022, and once you've got your prompts it shouldn't take you long to come up with what to post for each one.   There will be some extra stuff going on in free Facebook group, Your Brand Story  too, so keep an eye out in there!   

Take action every day for the whole month and let's see your social media numbers and engagement go up!  Enjoy being a part of my community too.  

If you're not sure it will be worth your time, check out the testimonials from past challenges in the next section like this one:

"Love your challenges - so much useful information!"

I do indeed always give you lots of useful info, and I don't waffle either, no taking up loads of your time!  

Do I need anything to do the challenge?

No!   Just yourself.  Being able to print out the prompts would be handy, but not necessary.  And you'll need at least one social media account for your business to post on.

How does it work?

- Find the correct prompt for each day, create your post, add it to your own social media, and pop into the group to share it in there too.  Simple!  

- Sign up to the challenge here in the Academy at the big pink button below, then you can see all the prompts in advance and get planning!

Why is it a paid for challenge?

Yes I know challenges are often free.  But this one is for a whole month not just a few days, and I want to try and help you to keep going for the whole month - and you're more likely to take action if you've paid for it first!  It's not exactly expensive though, so I hope that doesn't put you off joining in. 

(If you're already in my membership The Brand Plan, or join before the end of October, you will get access to this challenge included in that).

Still not sure? Again, check out the testimonials from past challenges in the next section - here's another one:

"Loving the Challenge as always! What a lovely atmosphere in the group with everyone sharing and giving lovely comments as well as your very constructive ones. I have, again, learnt loads and becoming more confident too 🙂"

Why are you running the challenge?

I wrote this a year ago when I ran this for the first time:

I have had the idea of running my own social media prompt challenge for years, and as I lay in bed recovering from covid this month, I started thinking about actually doing it!  So here we go.  And it will work as the perfect lead in to the next course I am planning to create for my membership The Brand Plan, to help you keep getting your brand visible with an organised content strategy and plan: From Overwhelmed to Organised.  Find out more about it here!

So that still all follows for now, a year on!  It has been available as an evergreen challenge since last year, which has been fine, but it worked so well as a live challenge too that I wanted to do it again :)  

So who’s teaching you all this?!

Hello!  I’m Jane, a branding photographer based in Kent, UK.  I have been taking photos since I was at least seven, when my favourite birthday present was my first camera!  My first proper job was in a picture library, selling photographs – but I soon realised that I wanted to be the one taking them, so I found some evening classes and got learning properly.  Then followed nearly a decade of photographing for other companies, before children, and redundancy, led me to starting my own photography business.

I love meeting and photographing other amazing business owners, and have discovered that I love teaching them to build better brands too, so that their photos work even more effectively for them but also so their business grows too, with strong foundations and a personal brand backing it all up and helping them stand out.  And I especially love supporting fellow introvert, quiet and camera shy business owners to build their stand out personal brands, and find the right ways to get confidently visible that work for them.
