Kristina Bartold has successfully built a career through creating community online and bringing people together. She learned that as an entrepreneur, showing up in these spaces authentically is key to connecting and building resonance with your target audience. As many small business owners often struggle to tap into the spaces that will offer them the most long-term growth, Kristina and her team offer insightful guidance for finding their online home.
In today's episode, we sit down with Kristina Bartold, CEO of The Social Snippet, a social media and podcasting agency that helps entrepreneurs and small businesses grow online communities. She shares tips for how to make sales via Instagram, methods for maximizing calls to action, how her company utilizes done-for-you social media, shares her story of navigating the social media landscape, and much more!
"If you love showing up on Instagram stories and that feels natural for you, go all in, lean into that if LinkedIn feels great, go there like, find the places that you feel most at home online and make that your community rather than focusing on the algorithm because even though it's important, it's not an end all be all" - Kristina Bartold
