Beyond the Double Tap: 4 Ways to Actually Support Small Businesses & Creators
About this episode
Words of appreciation, thanks, encouragement, and gratitude have been continuously shortened in today's fast-moving world:
"I Love You" has become "luv u"
"Thanks" has become "thx" or simply "tsm" and many are just double-tapping, dropping a "Congrats!" or "Love it," to the comment thread.
Hearting it doesn't exactly cut it when it comes to showing GENUINE support for other small business owners. Showing up for them takes a little more time, intention, personalization, and thought.
In this episode, I share why supporting fellow business owners and creators matters now more than ever and give you FOUR creative ways to show up beyond just saying thanks.
- Why small businesses matter for our communities
- Why small businesses need support now more than ever
- 4 Creative ways to show up for small businesses and creators
- Examples of giving them a platform
- Examples of resharing their content
- How to write a specific, stunning Google Review or LinkedIn rec (+)
- Commenting, engaging, and actually showing up because you care
- A shoutout to some of those who've made my year impeccable
- And more!

About Me & How to Work Together
I’m Emily Aborn, a Small Business Copywriter and host of Small Business Casual. I help small businesses grow with marketing that makes a distinct imprint. I believe that sharing your work goes beyond strategies, frameworks, content for content’s sake, more social media posts, more, more, more.
Successful marketing starts with a big picture approach and begins with genuine connection as you step into becoming (and sharing) the real YOU.
