If You Only Have 10 Minutes Today—Do This for Your Biz

Feeling overwhelmed by social media? You’re not alone.

I remember a morning not too long ago when I was juggling school lunches, client messages, and my to-do list that just wouldn’t quit.

I sat down for a quick moment of quiet and realized—I had exactly ten minutes before my next call. Ten minutes to “do something” for my business online.

Sound familiar?

You’ve got a business to run, maybe a partner, kids, pets, or a full-time job. You're trying to do all the things. And when it comes to social media? It often feels like there's just not enough time.

But here’s the thing: sometimes, the smallest actions have the biggest impact.

So, if all you’ve got today is ten minutes? Let me tell you exactly what to do.

The Most Powerful Use of Your Time: ENGAGE

That’s it. No complicated strategy. No perfect grid. No waiting for “the right time” to post.

Engage with your people. Because social media marketing isn’t about perfection—it’s about connection.

Here’s how to make the most of 10 minutes:

✅ Reply to comments on your latest posts

Let your followers know you see them. A simple “Thank you!” or “Loved your thoughts!” goes a long way.

✅ Answer one or two DMs

Even a quick voice note or emoji reply builds relationships and trust.

✅ Leave thoughtful comments on 3–5 local or aligned accounts

Support other small businesses. Show up in their comments with more than just an emoji.

✅ Share a client or customer’s post to your Stories

Tag them. Celebrate them. Shine the spotlight on your community.

✅ React to a few Stories from your followers or clients

These micro-interactions remind people you’re present—even if you’re not posting.

Why This Works

Social media is social.

You don’t have to post every day. You don’t need to film a Reel, write a novel of a caption, or brainstorm a brand-new content idea.

But you do need to show up. Even if it’s just for a few minutes.

Because this is where real connection happens. And connection leads to trust. And trust? That’s what drives bookings, referrals, and sales.

✨ Reminder: You don’t have to do it all. You just have to show up where it counts.

Your Turn: Let’s Make It Happen

So here’s your friendly challenge: The next time you’ve got ten minutes—whether you're in the school pick-up line or waiting for your coffee to brew—choose one of the actions above and engage.

And if you’re already doing this? I’d love to hear about it!
