Kailee Rae & Co

This trip has been a blast, but with 1 day left I’m ready to head home and get back into routine + consistency.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We don’t realize how much consistency plays a roll in our lives until we get out of routine and that’s when we crave it most.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love showing up and talking with you so the fact that I haven’t been posting consistently on this trip has left me feeling alittle guilty. I know I shouldn’t, rest and a social media break are always good but sharing with you is one of my favorite things.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With that being said I’m getting ready to head home on Monday and I’m brainstorming content for you guys. I want my posts to bring as much value to your feeds as possible. What can I share that will help you with your business or your lives? Or what are your biggest struggles with marketing yourselves online? Let me know below 👇🏼

Trust. It’s huge when connecting with ideal clients and what better way to build trust than providing authentic value?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are my 4 tips on providing value to your followers 👇🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Market research. Find out what your ideal client needs, if they have questions how can you provide them the answer? Encourage engagement from them via polls + questions in your stories!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Consistency. Show up! Be you and consistently come onto your social media with the intention of providing value.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Go live! The more you come with the intention to serve the better. Do a weekly Q +A with your followers on live or offer a free training!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. Talking about the hard stuff. I’m not saying you need to blast your private life
all over social media but be real and share. What if something you’re struggling with in business is the same thing another entrepreneur is going through?

Take this and RUN with it friends. Happy Wednesday!

Have you ever just connected with another business owner and instantly vibed?

That pretty much happened with me and Sarah, this girl has worked her ass off to build her AMAZING photography business so I reached out to see about connecting so I could pick her brain! We went to high school together and may have said 4 words to each other total?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Flash forward to now and she is one of the first people I call to run a business idea by! She is 100% my ideal business bestie and has taught me so stinkin’ much! Entrepreneurs, FIND YOUR PEOPLE!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I created this post to say that ☝🏼 but also as a freaking appreciation post for SarahJessica Photography because this girl is up and movin’ next month across the country! But even from North Dakota her business is going to explode! Don’t worry Cali brides, if you need a photographer she is still your girl plus the more you hire her out here the more I get to grab coffee with her!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So whether it’s for yourself or for me (probably you) go hire her for your photos, she will blow you away! 📸

Drop the fear and show your face! 📸

Don’t get me wrong, I love a perfectly branded grid with your photos planned and a look that’s consistent….BUT your clients want to know who the heck you are! If you can show up and be visible on your platforms you’ll create a better relationship with your followers + it ups your chances to convert them to clients! They’ll see your value, who doesn’t want that?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Getting in front of your camera can be super intimidating and vulnerable, I get it. I feel that way every time I hop on to talk to you guys on live! But I make the conscious choice to be vulnerable, share my journey, ask question + just be real! I encourage you to do the same!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I say real I still want you to keep content intentional + professional, no mirror selfies in the bathroom but what could happen if you got alittle more personal with your brand this week? Let me know what you expect to happen below 👇🏼
