Every guide hands you tips. Running social media as a small business is a six-step weekly loop, and where your hours go decides whether it survives month three. Here are the steps, in order.
Choose a promotion by the customer action you need: trial, a larger order, a referral, a faster decision, or a return visit. Then protect the margin.
Linking your Etsy shop to Instagram is a five-minute bio setting. The reason clicks don't turn into orders is different: your feed and your shop look like two different sellers. Here's the fix.

Paid social rents reach; only organic can turn it into an audience you keep. For a small business the order matters more than the split — and a dead profile sinks both.
Reach is the people a platform shows you to once; audience is who you can reach again, on purpose. Here's the difference — and why only one of them compounds.
