#219: Q&A: Do you have social media tips for introverts? - – Tash Corbin, Heart-Centred Business Podcast

Show notes can be found at tashcorbin.com/219

This is a very special episode of the Heart-Centred Business Podcast because this is our first episode in our twice-weekly podcast.

In the second podcast of each week, we are going to be alternating between Q&A's (questions that you have submitted) and Spotlight Series episodes where we put another entrepreneur in the spotlight with a special interview.

Today we have a special Q&A episode for you, with a fabulous question from Anita Bronwyn Toi. Her question is in relation to social media for introverts, so if you would like some tips on how to navigate social media - even if you are very introverted and might find it a little bit draining - then this is going to be a great episode for you.

Let's jump in!

Our question comes from the fabulous Anita Bronwyn Toi who you can find at anitabronwyntoi.com or @anitabronwyntoi on Instagram.

Here's Anita's question:

"Hi Tash,

I'm an avid listener to your podcast but I don't enjoy hanging out in big groups on Facebook. I have no desire to have my own Facebook group either, yet I know both are proven ways to grow and connect with your audience. The thing is, I prefer 1:1 connections and small groups.

I don't feel like its a fear of being visible. It's simply knowing that interacting in large groups, whether in person or online, drains me more than it energises. I also prefer to limit my time on social media in general, as I find I'm much happier and calmer that way.

Do you have any suggestions for sensitive introverts like me who want to share their gifts and reach the right people, but in a way that feels aligned and supportive?

Thank you!"

To you Anita, I will say a big thank you as well, because this is a very common question that I get asked. So much so that I actually already have another podcast episode in which I specifically talk about growing a business and social media for introverts versus extroverts. It's episode number 210, so you'll be able to go along and read that previous episode of the Heart-Centred Business Podcast as well.

For today's Q&A episode, I thought what I would do is give you five little things that you might be able to work with to help you decide what your best strategy is moving forward. I'll also show you how you can navigate social media, even if you don't love being in large groups or facilitating large groups.

1. Question: What part of that process actually drains you?

Engaging in Facebook groups on social media has lots and lots of different components. There is the energy of being in a group for hours and hours on end each day, which of course, you're going to find quite draining if you're just sitting in that energy of a lot of people. But there are lots of different parts about being in a Facebook community.

I know for myself, even facilitating the Heart
