Social media was made for building connections.
It’s about time we treat it that way.
When we focus too much on conversions and not enough on connections, we start to feel disconnected from our content in a way that makes social media feel anything BUT fun.
And, not to be dramatic, buuuut… that disconnect is dangerous — because it’s what keeps us stuck in the rut of posting into the void, forever wondering what we could be doing better to make social media feel better.
course
Something is missing in your content, but you’re not sure what that missing piece is.
→ Posting to crickets in the comments section (and putting your confidence in the toilet)
→ Feeling like you have no control over your conversions
→ Worrying about blending in with everyone else while desperately trying to stand out
→ Creating because you feel like you have to, even though you can tell the content isn’t resonating
WHAT YOU *ARE* SURE OF THOUGH, IS THAT YOU’RE SICK OF…
Posting on social feels like a lot of pressure when all you think about is performance, and analytics, and conversions — but don’t forget:
PEOPLE > PLATFORMS.
It’s so easy to think of Instagram as just another responsibility on the never-ending list of marketing “musts” — and it’s even easier to forget the real reason why social media was created in the first place: to build connections.
When we take a minute to revisit the original purpose of the platform, we remember the people behind it. And remembering to prioritize those people is the most important part of creating content that actually hits.

"I'm MUCH less overwhelmed by the thought of posting than I was before going through this program."
"If you're looking for a one-size-fits-all, or "do this exact formula and you'll gain xyz" approach to social media strategy, this ISN'T it. However, if you're looking for a fresh perspective, this IS it. Taking this course will open your eyes to the many opportunities your content can create (but not all at once now, okay?) Katie has thought about everything you need to think about and created workbooks that will help you discover your content's purpose, who you're talking to, and how to put what you've learned into action. I'm MUCH less overwhelmed by the thought of posting than I was before going through this program. Frankly, I am more overwhelmed by all the ideas I have and how I'm going to make them fit into the framework I have learned!"

Meg ladson, content creator
Hey y’all, I’m Katie — Social Media Strategist obsessed with helping creatives break the social media burnout cycle & find their social sweet spot instead.
MEET THE SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGIST
Specifically, I solve the “I hate this” feeling that comes with just-posting-cuz-I-have-to content creation, using strategies that work for other people, and Instagramming into the void.
Curious how I do that?
BY PUTTING COMMUNITY FIRST, AND CONVERSION SECOND.
It’s called social media for a reason — and I want to help you put the social back in it, so you can grow your audience full of followers who can’t wait to become your clients.
LEARN HOW FROM ME
Audience-centered content is the secret to building a following of future dream clients.
AND THE SOONER YOU CAN MASTER IT, THE BETTER.
Scrolling through social media looking for inspo and hacks and tricks and sales tips is a waste of your time, when you could be making an even bigger impact by simply starting to connect with real people.
There’s no cheat code to making authentic connections with ideal clients on social media — but there IS an easy way to learn how to do it.

WEEKLY CALLS
WEEKLY CHALLENGES
This isn't just your typical course, this is a live group program
When you join Social Sweet Spot, you will join The Spot - the always-on Slack community where you can drop your questions, your content, or your social media woes. You'll be met with answers, support, and feedback from me - and your fellow creatives in your cohort of Sweet Spot!
IMO, this is the *most* fun part of Social Sweet Spot. We will meet live for one hour every week during the 8 weeks of the program. One week, we will have a live Q&A sesh where I will answer any and all of your questions about course content and social media. The next, we will have a co-content creation session (aka dedicated time to actually implement what you've learned!)
And speaking of implementation, each week in Slack, I will send in a weekly content challenge for you to implement what you've learned! After you complete the challenge each week, you can send it in Slack for feedback (and for us to hype you up in the comment section, ofc)
WHICH MEans that you also get...
"Katie is, like, REALLY smart. Not that I would've doubted that, but she never answered a question with, "I'm actually not sure" or "I don't know." She knows how to deliver information in a way that isn't overwhelming and she *really* knows how to make you understand and appreciate the value of social media for small business owners. I'm so thankful our paths crossed and I got to work with her!"
"This program felt really actionable and attainable. Nothing felt hard or overwhelming!"
- Rhianon paige, brand & web designer
People are protecting their feeds now more than ever, and YOU have to earn their follow.
The same old strategies that worked way-back-when aren’t getting results anymore. People can see through the typical marketing tactics, they’re sick of the boring, faceless content, and they’re consuming with care — as they should.
We have the privilege of curating our social media feeds to only see exactly what we want to see, and as creators, it’s our responsibility to BE what they want to see.
You’ll be able to find your sweet spot once you start thinking about theirs.
When you center your specific ideal audience member in your content, you're explicitly telling them "hiii! this is somewhere you're gonna fit in! I am your type of girl! This was literally created for you! And you’re gonna eat up everything I share!" — and THAT is when your content will transform into something you’re proud of, something excited to post, and something you’re completely confident your dream clients will love.
Before learning how to engage with your community, you first need to understand who your ideal community IS.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR COMMUNITY
how it works:
CENTERING YOUR COMMUNITY
Once you’ve defined your ideal community member, we’ll go over how to center them in your content, so creating with them in mind feels effortless.
ENGAGING YOUR COMMUNITY
With your community at the center of your socials, the last step is learning how to engage with them (and how to get them to engage with you).
You don’t know what’s missing in your content,
SO LET’S FIND IT.
Social Sweet Spot™ is for the creative who needs help creating — specifically, creating content that their ideal audience members resonate with — because, right now, it feels like there’s an unidentifiable last piece of the social media puzzle.
The good news, though? You’re only 8 weeks away from everything fitting together perfectly.

Joining Social Sweet Spot™ will transform the way you approach social media — but that’s not all it’ll do for you.
IT ALSO PERMANENTLY ANSWERS THESE BURNING QUESTIONS. 👇
“How often should I post?”
“Where do I belong in my community?”
“How do I get the right people to notice me?”
“Which analytics should I be paying attention to?”
“Do numbers even matter?”
“How do I become an industry leader?”
“How do I start conversations with my content?”

I know I introduced myself as Katie a few scrolls ago, but actually, maybe you should think of me as Goldilocks.
Without the right support, attempting to find your social sweet spot can feel like wandering through an unfamiliar house, looking for something you can’t quite define until you try it all out.
There’s a “too soft” approach to social media, where you disregard strategy altogether and post whatever you want whenever you feel like it (even if that's never).
And then there’s a "too hard" approach to social media, where you do whatever the drill sergeant social media “gurus” shame you into posting, only to feel like you’re never doing enough.
My approach is right there in the middle; the “just right” strategy — the one that isn't going to burn you out, but is destined to help you reach your goals.
