Most small businesses post, get 3 likes, and give up. This is the loop we built into Chirpy so your posts actually get people talking back. Try it free: chirpy.me/?utm_source=x&utm_…
you can now run chirpy from inside claude, chatgpt or grok bot. ask it to draft, schedule or pull your numbers without opening another tab. it's on advanced and up, setup is at docs.chirpy.me
most growth hacks i tried in businesses i ran just moved the problem sideways
the boring stuff that compounds (same offer, same promise, showing up) always looked slower until you looked back a year later
what boring thing are you still doing that actually works?
across every business i've run, the customers who stuck around longest almost never found us through a post. someone sent them, then they checked our page to see if we were legit
so i've stopped thinking of posting as getting found. it's people checking you're still open and still good before they call
does that match yours, or do you actually get cold customers off social?
ran property, a restaurant and a few other things over the years.
the posts that actually brought people in were usually the ugly ones. bad photo, two lines, typed between jobs.
what's the least polished post that ever got you a customer?
I've run a few businesses now, property, a restaurant and a few other things
the habit that stuck across all of them was writing down one thing on monday morning that would make the week a win. just one
what's yours this week?
sunday question for anyone running a business
when did posting on social actually start bringing you customers?
first month, first year, or still waiting
honest answers only
every local business near me posted something for halloween today.
honest question for owners, has a holiday post ever actually brought people through the door? or is it just one of those things you feel you have to do
been running businesses a long time, property, a restaurant, a few other things. my take is consistency beats clever for local businesses. people start expecting the post.
what's the one thing you post that customers would notice if you stopped?
business owners, what's the one question customers ask you every single week?
that's your next post. answer it once in public and stop typing it out 50 times
flip side of my last question. what's the cheapest marketing thing you ever did that actually brought customers in?
agency owners, whats the one client request you hear every month that you wish you could just say no to
small business owners, honest question. is your black friday stuff already planned or is it the usual scramble the week before
unpopular opinion maybe, but replying to every google review, even the boring 5 star ones, beats most of what small businesses spend on ads
anyone actually skip it?
small business owners, whats one thing you pay for every month for marketing that you'd cancel tomorrow if you were being honest
hot take for local business owners
a phone photo of your actual team doing the actual work beats any polished graphic you'll ever post
anyone seen the opposite?
monday question for business owners
how do you actually know where your new customers come from?
in most businesses I've run we just asked people and wrote it down. still beats any dashboard I've used
honest question for local business owners
what's the one post that actually brought a customer through your door?
not likes. an actual paying customer
sunday question for business owners
do you actually plan the week's posts ahead, or is it a monday morning scramble every time
no judgement, I've done both for years
