Imagine being so productive, you’ve checked off everything on your social media marketing to-do list. You’ve increased your social presence so much that you’re connecting to new people every day who want to buy your products or services.
Social media doesn’t freak you out anymore. You easily slip in and out of your social sites every week while still having time to build your business. And you did it because you worked the steps in the Social Media Productivity Planner.
Does this sound familiar?
- You’re not clear about what to do in your social sites or where to spend your valuable time.
- You’re embarrassed to send people to your Facebook page because you haven’t posted anything in months.
- It’s Thursday afternoon and you just remembered that you haven’t posted anything to Instagram for the week – and when you log in, you realize that your last pin was 3 weeks ago.
- And you keep meaning to add that new blog post to Pinterest but you can’t find the time to make a new image that’s Pinterest-friendly.
You know you need to show up in your social sites. You’ve heard the experts on the webinars. You’ve read the blog posts and downloaded the free worksheets but you’re still stuck.

Many creative and digital entrepreneurs have this same love – hate relationship with social media. They love the powerful reach of their social sites and the opportunity to get connected to all those potential clients.
You get excited to set up your new profile and just start posting your marketing message, hoping someone will click on you link. It might take one week or maybe one month but eventually, that social love turns into hate { or at least, frustration }.
You don’t know where to go, what to do and for crying out loud, why does this take this so long? You have projects to work on, client calls to make and you need to pick up your kids from school.
Your love of all things social turns to frustration, overwhelm, confusion …. and you tell yourself, “I just don’t have time for this stuff. No one even notices me online. Why should I even bother to waste my time?”
Some days its just too much
Some days it’s just too much and you want to say, “Why isn’t anyone clicking on my stuff? That’s it, I’m out.”
I get that feeling. I totally get it.
I did all the stuff that you’re doing. I listened to the webinars. I read the blog posts from the experts. I downloaded the worksheets that asked me questions about my target market and to describe their lifestyle.
I learned who I’m talking to and what sites they’re on but how was this was going to tell me why these people weren’t clicking on my Facebook posts? How was I going to find the time to post on all these sites the experts keep telling us we need to be on?
And when I set up my account and logged in, what was I supposed to be doing to reach new people?
Seriously, I told myself, I can figure this thing out. This isn’t rocket science. It’s not like I’m living in an episode of the Big Bang Theory and trying to have a conversation with Sheldon Cooper.
“So, where do I start?” I asked myself.
The basics. You start at the very basics of social media.
You look at all of your social media activities – the places where you share your programs and your products. The spaces where you make new connections. The moments where you share who you are and what you do.
And that’s what I did. I took a good hard look at all my social media sites.
I spent months monitoring what worked and what didn’t. I looked at the steps I was doing to get this social stuff done and then I tweaked, twisted and posted my way into a social media routine.
After a year of creating this worksheet and typing out my numbers into this table, I put all the information into one place so I could easily and quickly see what was working and where I needed to spend my time.
I learned how long it took to grow my presence in my top social sites. So when those 30 minute bursts of time came up, I knew exactly where to go and what to do.
From that all that monitoring of the social pieces and marketing parts, the Social Media Productivity Planner was born.
The Social Media Productivity Planner
The Social Media Productivity Planner will introduce you to a new way of managing your social media marketing so you can make new connections, show up more consistently online and grow your social presence to get more clients.
You’ll go from feeling overwhelmed and unproductive to having a social presence you want to share with everyone. You’ll gain your time back to run your business, be with your family and make more money doing the work that you love.
The Social Media Productivity Planner isn’t like the other social media planners out there. It’s not a calendar with pretty pictures for every month of the year and a place to write down how many followers you gained { or worse – yikes! – lost }.
It’s the starting point you need to build and implement an effective social media strategy. You’ll learn what to do, what site to log into and exactly what to do when you have a 30 – 60 minute chunk of time in your schedule.
Your business or blog is different because you’re different.
Everything about what you do is different – your schedule is different, you have your own personal life that you have to incorporate into your daily busy schedule and even the steps that you take to get your work done is different.
And it’s not an easy thing to follow the expert’s advice to do this on social media or spend your time working on that social network. It’s just not that easy because you’re not like everyone else.
And that’s the big thing I want to you remember as you work through the steps in the Social Media Productivity Planner. This is NOT a cookie cutter template where you fill out a form so you can check off a social media plan on your list.
There are four sections in the Social Media Productivity Planner with exercises and worksheets for you to work through as they connect with your business.
Take a look at each section to see what you’ll learn and what you’ll do with each completed step of the Social Media Productivity Planner process:
Social Media Review
This section will help you sort through where your business or blog has been and how to plan for smarter goals to get you where you want to go. You’ll work through the Review worksheets to learn why just tracking your numbers won’t help you reach your goals.
Setting and Reaching Your Goals
Learn the process to get more done every week while you develop your own system to prioritize your to-do list with the action steps that will help grow your business. You’ll go through Goal Setting worksheets to be more effective with your time online and with the new Sales Planner worksheets, it’ll ensure that you’ll have a more profitable month.
Getting It All Done
You’ll get the answers to your question – – how do I get all this done without adding hours to my already full schedule? This section’s planning worksheets will help you plan out your content and messages for your social media marketing plans every month.
Measuring Your Results
In the final section, you’ll learn how to track where your connections are coming from and where you should be spending your valuable time online. When you fill out the tracking worksheets, you’ll get the big picture of what’s working with your social media plans and you’ll be able to see what needs tweaking.
Please note: The Social Media Productivity Planner is not for business owners who haven’t set up their social accounts. This is not a workbook to show you how to set up a Facebook page or create your profiles.
The steps in this planner will give you a simple easy to follow process to incorporate a social media routine into your weekly schedule. When you work through the worksheets in the Social Media Productivity Planner, you’ll not only be more productive but you’ll get connected to the right people who want to buy your products and programs.
You’ll get the actionable steps to work through the process I personally use so you can see where and how to focus your valuable time. Plus, you’ll get printable tracking charts and brainstorming sheets to use over and over to grow your business with social media.
