Business Services
Looking to grow your reach online organically for a fraction of the cost of using paid ads?
I teach small and mid-size businesses how to tap into their “Hidden Salesforce” to effectively expand their reach for a fraction of the cost of paid ads while garnering the authenticity that your brand needs to grow online. All that PLUS knowing your least responsible employee won’t damage your brand’s reputation online.
Did you know that “brand messages shared by employees on social media earn 561% more reach than the same messages shared on the brand’s social media channels AND 8x more engagement?

In addition:
I either create or review your business’s Digital Engagement Policy which is something EVERY business should have that outlines how your business intentionally chooses to position itself online. It should cover your brand attributes along with your vision and mission, plus guidelines for how your employees should communicate digitally, both internally with other employees and externally with customers and clients. It's more than just a social media policy, although it addresses appropriate social media communication practices. Learn More by reading Julie’s article in Forbes

What People Are Saying
“I don’t know why every school doesn’t have Julie Fisher speak to their students. No one else is really teaching us what is and isn’t okay to post as well as how those posts can affect us in the future. I’m glad my school brought her here to speak to us.”
— Rachel, Student
“I work for a company where I start off every interview asking candidates to show me their social media accounts because it is so important in the business that I am in. Julie did a great job talking about how to use social media to benefit yourself while addressing the pitfalls in mistakes children make.”
—Samantha, Program Attendee
“Julie got our company ready to allow us to empower our employees to share our content and gain a more authentic voice in a saturated market. We’ve seen a growth in sales plus our employees now know how to enhance their own personal brands online while at the same time amplifying that of our company.”
— Jeff, CMO
“Both our students AND our teachers learned so much from Ms. Fisher’s presentation. She provided realistic information and examples which were tailored specifically to the age of the students in each assembly. Even in an all-virtual environment, students were engaged and focused on her words, and they especially enjoyed being able to ask questions at the end. Thanks, Ms. Fisher, for the fantastic experience!”
— Stacey, Dean of Instruction
FAQs
-
If you don't know "the rules" when it comes to parenting digital natives (and lets face it, most parents didn't grow up with the tech our kids are using today), then you could use a digital parenting coach.
It's YOUR job as a parent to teach your kids HOW to use technology safely and appropriately, as well as how to follow digital device and digital communication etiquette. If you aren't confident you have the answers, then a digital parenting coach can help.
If you're constantly fighting with your kids about their tech use, then you need a digital parenting coach who can create a family plan that actually works for your unique family to control the chaos and stop the battles.

Therapists are trained to work with you on your emotional life and human behavior. Ironically (or maybe it's not so ironic), many of my client referrals come through therapists who recognize that they don't know the answers to questions that arise in therapy when their patients are struggling with digital problems either themselves or with their kids.
-
The BEST time is BEFORE your kids get their own devices or accounts. That said, it's NEVER to late to get help and make sure you're doing the best job you can to make sure your kids stay safe online and that you're teaching them how to use technology so it doesn't become a problem in the future.
-
My kids are teens, aren't I past needing someone to help me with their technology?
The unfortunate reality is that what your kids shared in the past can affect their future. 66% of college admissions professionals say that an applicant's social media is fair game during the admissions process. AND, if they look and can't find your teen, that creates another set of problems. My pre-college options are specifically designed to give your teen an edge in the ever-competitive college admissions game.

No! I have options that hit all price-points depending on what you're looking for.

Encouraging participation is a nice start, but success requires that: (1) you train your staff on What’s In It For Me (WIIFM); (2) provide them software that allows 1-click-easy ways to share content to the social media networks that they are on (beyond LinkedIn); and, (3) adapt your content so that they will want to share it. 50% of employees already post online about work. I’ll provide you with the tools and training to encourage them to do it for you, while protecting your brand
-
ISeveral federal and state laws that already apply to your business take on a new significance with social media, for example: (1) The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires every employee to disclose their employment relationship in EVERY post about your business, whether you’ve asked them to post or not; (2) The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), on the other hand, limits what you may forbid employees from sharing; and, (3) numerous employment laws mandate that employee advocacy be entirely voluntary. So even if you aren’t currently encouraging your employees to post, they still need training to protect your business.
-
Successful Employee Advocacy involves more than asking your employees to share your business’s content and expecting results. Employee advocates need: (1) software to make sharing easy, and allow you to measure effectiveness; (2) appealing content that is suited for posting beyond LinkedIn (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube) and adapted with your employees (not your customers in mind; (3) a comprehensive Digital Engagement Policy that sets out the do’s and don’ts; and, (4) expert training on your policies, the law, the software and WIIFM.
