How to engage your audience on line so you can grow your business.
What is the Psychology of Social Media?
With social media a cornerstone of a business' marketing an edge on how to engage more customers online is critical.
Create engaging content
Anyone can post online but when platforms employ psychologists to keep people there, you'll want to know what they do.
Grow strong relationships
People buy from businesses they know, like, & trust. Understand how to create that for your business.
Motivate your fans to buy
In the end, you want to motivate your fans to take action. What motivates us is based in our psychology.
Why should you deal with it?
In our fast-paced lives, capturing attention and driving action is key to a long-lasting business. Understanding how to do that on social media is vital these days. I know this because I've been helping business do this for over a decade.
Too often we feel that when we post on our social media we're talking to ourselves. Or worse, all we hear is crickets. We spend all this time working on the perfect image, language, hashtags, strategy, only to receive - nothing. It's soul crushing.
You go all in on the latest trend, search for the perfect music to go with your video, dance and point, edit, try a new platform. You know that social media works. It's worked before, it works for your competitors (or so they say). And you can't help but feel pretty stupid and somewhat humiliated that once again you've given your all to come up empty handed.
You're not alone.
You know social media is important to your business, you know it will work, and there has to be a way to engage your audience. There is.
When you understand:
- how social media platforms use psychology to keep us here
- what is happening inside your clients' minds
- how to use psychology to motivate your audience to take the action you need.
Now is the time to get that understanding and be the engaging business your audience craves (and you need it to be).

It made sense
Hi Kara
I just wanted to drop you a line and say I enjoyed your workshop during the RWA virtual conference.
It made a lot of sense to me.

I knew nothing. Had no structure nor no plan. I wrote a book and Kara in her wisdom took my passion and created a structured platform via Social media.
I feel navigating social media platforms challenging. Kara created the page and shared her business wisdom to get me in and going.
Where does one go for support where they can feel valued and supported. A little hand holding along the way has helped gain confidence in proceeding creating a business from the outset.
Hand holding, structure, guidance and being available. Kara provides support on many levels.

She got me organised! We set the goals, worked out when I needed to do weekly/daily to get me there. They were specific, not wishy washy.
Kara was very knowledgeable and held my hand through a "troll" incident. She was the first person I went to to seek advice. Kara has also been extremely generous in her time and information when it comes to social media, trends, how things work, best times to post. I love that is comes from a psychological point of view.
I started with no idea! Kara has filled my world with ambition, dreams and goals.
So very generous with her knowledge and time.

About Kara Lambert
I focus on the psychology behind business success, especially helping business owners overcome the fears that hold them back. My knowledge of psychology in business is applied across stakeholders (staff, customers, owners) and communication methods. I hold tertiary qualifications in Psychology and Management; have worked with online businesses since 2000, seven of those years on Facebook.
Other than that, I'm not one for hustle culture or shaming people into compliance. I believe our businesses are there to serve our clients and us rather than business owners being a slave.
