How to Build a Social Media Strategy
How to Build a Social Media Strategy that works – Even With a Busy Client Schedule
Spoiler alert: You don’t need to post every day to grow on Instagram.
You do need a content strategy that works with your schedule — not against it.
If you’re a busy lash artist, esthetician, or suite owner juggling clients, messages, DMs, and the rest of your life… the idea of “showing up daily” feels impossible.
But here’s the good news — strategy isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing the right things on repeat.
Let me show you how.
Step 1: Ditch Random Posting for Intentional Planning
Without a plan, social media becomes another overwhelming to-do list.
You post because you “should,” not because you have something to say.
But when you know:
-
Who your audience is
-
What your business goals are
-
What content supports both
…your content becomes focused and powerful.
Step 2: Build Your Content Pillars
This is your foundation.
Think of 3–5 themes your brand speaks to.
For example:
-
Client results & transformations
-
Tips and education
-
Behind-the-scenes of your biz
-
Personal values / personality
-
Promotions or service highlights
These themes help you:
-
Plan faster
-
Stay consistent
-
Create on-brand content even when you’re busy
Step 3: Batch & Schedule Like a Pro
Instead of posting every day in real-time, create your content in batches once a week or twice a month.
Here’s what batching can look like:
-
1 hour: plan your content using your pillars
-
1 hour: film 3–5 reels
-
1 hour: write captions + schedule
Boom. You’re done for the week (or month).
Use tools like your Notes app + a Google Calendar to stay ahead.
Real Talk — Here’s How I Do It
I built a multi-suite salon, grew my social presence to over 4M views, and coach other women to do the same — without being glued to my phone.
How?
Because I got serious about systems.
I created a strategy that worked around my business, not the other way around.
Now I share that exact system with other beauty pros — and you can get started with it today.
