We all have friends who have a business. Sometimes though, we can't support the business by being a customer.
You can still help those businesses, even if you aren't a customer. Here's some tips on how...
1.Follow them on Social Media. If they have a specific page or group, be sure to follow that.
The Like / Follow helps raise their profile.
Be sure to set your 'like' to actually show you their posts.
2. Like their posts
As with liking their page / group, liking each post raises the visibility of it.
3. Share their posts
Sharing content means it's seen in your feed, by your friends. You might not be able to be a customer but maybe one of your contacts can.
4. Comment with an emoji or write something nice.
Recommendations or comments by others always helps. Again, this helps raise the profile
5. Give your friends business a shout out. Make sure to tag them so people can find them.
6. Tag a friend who you think might be interested on a post.
7. Post a picture of the business. Perhaps it's a picture of you and your friend, tag the business.
8. Leave a positive review.
Who knows who in those who see your posts / likes / comments might find a business they can use?

Life is busy and there's just so many things to remember. What tools do you use to help you keep on top of ALL the things?
