How to Harness the Power of Authenticity on Social Media: Insights from the Savviest Creators
Navigating the vast ocean of social media can feel like steering a ship in a storm—exciting yet overwhelming. But fear not! I’m diving into some sage advice from Cincinnati’s own YouTube star, Feli Hofner, and other local entrepreneurs who’ve mastered the art of social media to grow their businesses. They shared their wisdom at the “Social Savvy Masterclass” hosted by Aviatra Accelerators, a non-profit geared towards uplifting women-owned startups.
The Key Ingredient: Authenticity
Feli Hofner, known for her popular channel ‘Feli from Germany,’ champions authenticity as her secret sauce. She’s carved out a niche by sharing her life in the U.S. through a German lens, highlighting the quirky cultural nuances that both unite and distinguish these two worlds. This approach hasn’t just won her followers; it’s earned her their trust.
From Insights to Action
During the masterclass, a panel of seasoned pros, including Patrice Adams of The Designery Creative and Morgan Angelique Owens, CEO of Professional Pretty, echoed the sentiment that genuine interaction trumps all. They discussed strategies for engaging content, leveraging AI, and the importance of targeting a specific audience. Unlike the scattershot approach of trying to please everyone, honing in on a particular group creates a dedicated following.
Beyond the Numbers
A common thread among the speakers was the advice to look beyond mere follower counts. Instead, focus on impactful, engaging content that resonates. As Owens put it, the goal isn’t just to increase numbers but to build a community that cares about what you say.
In a nutshell, the masterclass not only served as a beacon for budding entrepreneurs looking to navigate social media waters but also underscored the power of authenticity in creating lasting connections.
