Getting TOO Personal on Social Media: How Much is Too Much?
If you are a regular listener of the Jasmine Star Show (thanks boo!), you hear me preach all the time about getting personal on social media. I’m ALLLLLLL about building those relationships and talking as if you’re with your BFF.However, is there such a thing as getting TOO personal on social media?This is actually a question I’m asked quite often because it's something that many business owners struggle with.

Or maybe you run a business like Nike or Starbucks *don’t we all wish?* that doesn’t have a “face” of the business. How do you get personal when people don’t even know you exist? >>There is really no limit to how personal you can get on social media. It just depends on what you're comfortable with and what your audience wants to see.<<What makes you unique as a business owner is one of the most powerful things you possess. Stay true to the business vision and share images that differentiate your company with the only true thing that makes your business different: YOU. So let’s work on testing it out!
