Researching into the nitty-gritty of social media marketing - Week 2 Update

Updated: May 30, 2021



During the month of May 2021, I'm intensively working to launch my home cupcake business, 'Phoebe's Cupcake Treasures'. My main focus will be on social media marketing and managing the business' finances. The entire project is a massive and exciting challenge, since I'll be learning a ton of entrepreneurial skills and monetizing my baking passion. This blog post is one aspect of my project.

What I accomplished this week

For the second week of this project, I focused most of my efforts on building the business’ Instagram and Facebook accounts.

The tasks I completed were:

  • Created visual branding guidelines

  • Creating a social media marketing plan

  • Photography of cupcakes to post on the social feeds

  • Copywriting for captions on posts

  • Learned how to use Preview to plan out my Instagram feed


What I learned

During this week, I mostly focused on the technical aspects of social media marketing. Even though I’ve previously made Instagram content for another business, this was the first time I’ve dug deep into the intricacies of successful social media marketing.

I learned:

  • How to create a cohesive Instagram feed

  • How to hashtags most effectively

  • How to use the Preview app to organize and plan out my Instagram feed


My plan for next week

For next week, I’d like to continue creating social media content and become more acquainted with Instagram and Facebook, as well as build a solid finance management system.


Tasks include:

  • Prepare six new Instagram/Facebook posts and organize them into the Preview app

  • Get better at using Preview to be more confident and efficient with managing social accounts

  • Settle on an accounting software and learn how to use it to manage business finances

  • Write a sales policy.
