How to Profit from Social Media

I’ll be honest — “profit” is one of those words that makes creative entrepreneurs squirm.

We love the connection, the storytelling, the community. But money? We tend to tiptoe around it.

Here’s the truth: social media isn’t just for building relationships. It’s one of the most powerful sales tools you have — if you use it intentionally.

And no, that doesn’t mean selling in every post. It means creating a plan that turns your content into income.

Let’s talk about how to make that happen.

Profit Starts with a Purpose

If you’re posting “just to post,” you’re missing opportunities.

Every single piece of content you share should serve at least one of these goals:

• Attract new followers (discovery)

• Nurture your audience (connection)

• Convert interest into action (sales or leads)

When you align your posts with these stages, you stop creating random content and start creating profitable pathways.

Think of it like a 🐷 pig hunting for truffles — rooting out the valuable pieces hiding under the surface. Your job is to know where to dig and how to uncover the good stuff.

Create Content That Sells Without Feeling Salesy

The best sales content doesn’t feel like sales content. It educates, entertains, and inspires — and then naturally leads people to the next step.

Here’s what that looks like:

• A behind-the-scenes post that includes a soft CTA to your shop

• A quick tip reel that ends with “DM me for the full guide”

• A client testimonial with a link to your booking page

• A story about your journey with a “work with me” button

It’s not about pushing offers all the time. It’s about weaving them into your regular content so your audience is always aware of how to take the next step.

Use Calls-to-Action Like a Pro

Your audience isn’t a mind reader.If you want them to book, buy, or subscribe — you have to tell them.

A strong CTA can double or triple your engagement and conversions.And it doesn’t always have to be “buy now.” Try these:

• “Comment YES if you want the link”

• “Send me a DM with the word INFO”

• “Click the link in bio to get started”

• “Tag a friend who needs this”

Simple. Clear. Direct.

Know Your Numbers

You can’t profit from what you’re not measuring.If you’re not tracking metrics like reach, engagement, click-throughs, and conversions, you’re making decisions in the dark.

One of my clients was convinced Instagram “wasn’t working” for her — until we tracked her leads and realized 70% of them were coming from Instagram Stories.

We doubled down on what was working.Her sales doubled, too.

Leverage Evergreen & Repurposed Content

Profiting from social media doesn’t mean reinventing the wheel every week. Your best content can (and should) be reused.

An educational carousel can become a blog post.A blog post can become a reel script.A reel can become a YouTube short.

And with the right automation, this process becomes effortless — meaning your best posts keep working for you long after you’ve created them.

Build Trust Before You Sell

Profit follows trust. If your audience doesn’t believe in you, they won’t buy from you.

The fastest way to build that trust? Consistency. Show up regularly. Share value freely. Respond to comments and DMs.

You’re not just building a following — you’re building a reputation.And that reputation is what turns followers into loyal, paying clients.

The Pig Approach to Profiting from Social

Pigs are smart, resourceful, and persistent. They know how to find value in places others overlook. That’s how I want you to approach your social media.

Be intentional. Dig where it matters.Keep showing up — even when results aren’t instant.

Because over time, the small steps compound into big wins.
