10 minutes: collect, do not stage
Photograph a finished set of nails, a new outfit or today's dish. Ask permission before showing a customer.
Save three usable images in one folder so the next post does not start from zero.
10 minutes: answer one customer question
Write about price, availability or how to find you. Example: Two appointments on Thursday, 14:00 and 16:00.
Gel manicure from [price]. Book via the profile link.
Replace every placeholder and only advertise real availability.
Check your public profile10 minutes: prepare and check
Prepare a post and a reminder, then check the booking link on your phone. Allow separate short windows for replies.
After two weeks, compare genuine enquiries and bookings, not just likes. IHK guidance recommends matching the channel and effort to the business's resources.
