Home for the next 5 days… 🌆

As a business owner it's taken me some time to truly embrace 'work-free' holidays and not feel guilty for it, but I've realised over the years that I'm a much better business owner because of it.

Stepping away allows me to reset, spend quality time with loved ones, and come back even more motivated and inspired with a renewed sense of creativity.

While I often find the prep work to make it possible, quite overwhelming, especially in my role of managing social media, it's so worth it once I switch off. 🙌🏼

So i'll see you on the other side of this short break! 😉

There’s been a shift lately…

At the start of every month, you’ll find me sitting in front of my laptop screen, reporting and analysing results of client’s social media page performance for the month just passed. 📈

Since the start of 2024, I have noticed a shift across the board in perhaps what you would call “normal” results.

👀 I have noticed that there has been a significant increase in the number of people that posts are reaching, as opposed to engagement.

This shows us that people are consuming now more than ever.

Social media posts, my own included, are being seen by hundreds of non-followers who are finding the content through their recommended feeds or hashtags — and yes, hashtags still work! ✔️

The algorithms are changing, the people are changing. I have even noticed from a consumer perspective that I am consuming more too.

✍🏼 So this is your reminder, that posting something is better than nothing, and to not be deflated if you don’t get the engagement you perhaps hoped for.

People are watching, people are seeing. Keep going!

After successfully onboarding a new social media management client this week, I am proud to announce that for the time being, I am booked out for social media management... 🤗

What began in 2020 as a dream to expand my business and create a “social media empire” has evolved back into more of a fulfilling side hustle over the last year or so, and I have begun to realise that is okay too!

Now with a smaller group of long-term clients, I am able to balance and manage my workload while still enjoying the freedom to pursue my passions and work part-time in a fulfilling role. 🙌🏼

Though for the time being I am no longer taking on new social media management clients, I will continue to share social media tips and my business journey.

If I can help you in another capacity or with any social media advice, please reach out, I’d love to hear from you! 🤍

Towards the end of last year, I achieved a significant milestone by sending out my 400th invoice! ✍🏼

It may seem like a small achievement to some, but for me, it was a chance to reflect on the many different businesses I have had the privilege of working alongside, and the hours of work I have put in over the years.

🥳 A few days ago, I followed this up by celebrating 4 years of Found Social Media. This last year has been one filled with many ups and downs, making this business birthday particularly special.

Thank you for being a part of my journey, especially to those who have trusted me with their social media over the last four years, whether for a short or long period of time! 🤍

Thank you Carolyn for your kind words! 🤍

For the past 10 months, I have been working alongside Carolyn from Holidays to Switzerland to assist her with the content creation for her social media pages.

It's always great to have clients who want to be involved in the content creation process, and are able to provide me with a variety of content to incorporate into social media posts. ✔️

A year ago, I received news that would completely change the course of my year in business. 👇🏼

I learned that another client was ceasing work with me – making them the fifth one to do so in the space of a month.

Although these departures were not due to any fault of mine, but rather circumstantial changes in their own businesses, at the time it was still devastating.

Upon reflection over the last year, there have been many moments, including this week, where I have sat back and realised that losing these clients, all at once, was such a blessing in disguise.

In fact, I think it needed to happen! 🫣

Why? Because it gave me the opportunity to acknowledge the burnout I was experiencing from juggling so many clients, and made me realise that I had lost my passion for the work I was doing each day!

It gave me the space I needed, to make necessary changes, to make space for more aligned clients and begin to re-build my business to actually enjoy what I do! 🙌🏼

To be honest, if you had asked me 18 months ago if I would be where I am today, I would probably have said it was so far from where I thought I would be, but now I realise it's right where I am meant to be.

I hope that this is a reminder that when everything seems to be falling apart, it doesn't signify the end, but rather an opportunity for growth, resilience and maybe something even better than you thought. 🤍

It’s finally time to kick off here for 2024! 🥳

Each year I love to take the time to reflect and look on back all that happened over the course of the last year! I find it helps to remind me of how far I have come and gets me excited for what is ahead.

So for me in 2023? 🤷🏼‍♀️

✨I celebrated 3 years of business – a milestone I am SO proud to have reached
✨I started the year by losing a number of clients, followed by some beautiful clients coming into my space
✨I implemented sustainable practices to help manage my business
✨I took on a wonderful part time job
✨I learnt a lot about myself, my goals, my dreams and my visions for life and business

It was a year where there was lots of big changes, and things going on behind the scenes, but it was also a year I look back on with so much gratefulness and positive memories.

I’m looking forward to what 2024 has to bring, and if January is anything to go by, it’s looking like a good one! 🕺

Often we hear people say that reels are the only way that you should be posting content to Instagram, but we disagree. 😅

While reels are great for many reasons, we believe that other types of posts can be just as effective for sharing content that attracts a wider audience.

In this guide, we walk you through the different types of posts and what is the best way to use each one! A holistic approach, that includes a variety of different post types, is always our recommendation. 👉🏼👉🏼👉🏼

What is your favourite type of content to create and consume when it comes to Instagram?

Over the last few years I have realised something… 💭

💥 Success looks different for everyone.

When I first started my business, I always thought that I needed to continuously focus on scaling up, getting bigger and bigger, eventually hiring staff in order to “succeed” at business ownership.

The idea of this completely overwhelmed me, but I kept working at it knowing that I wanted to succeed.

I kept going until I couldn’t.

The busier I got, the more I realised how unhappy I was feeling, and how much I was falling into this idea of “hustle” culture. 😅

You see for some, success is defined by monetary value or working so many hours or in employing people to help expand your business offerings.

For others, a simple life with a job you love, travelling the world, making memories, having time for your loved ones and doing your own thing is success. 🤳

Right now, I love the fact that i’m running this business on my own with a manageable client base, allowing me to provide high quality service all while working smarter, not harder.

Despite what the world tell us, everyone gets to define their own version of success and discover what that means to them. 🤍

I have always been an avid watcher of The Block and as the new season recently started, it got me thinking... 🤔

We are always striving to make the spaces in our homes liveable, inviting, warm and friendly. But how often do we do this to our digital spaces? Our social media pages?

If you've been around here for a while, you would have likely heard me talk about this concept before because it's something I am super passionate about. 💥

In our homes, we have the power to choose what we bring in, the people, the accessories, the "clutter." We have that same choice when it comes to our social media.

We have the power to choose what we consume online.

So this weeks focus? Shape your social media into a place that motivates, inspires and uplifts you. A place that you want to spend time on to be educated, inspired and social.

Unsubscribe from the content you don't want to see. unfollow the people that make you feel less than, set boundaries on your usage and engage in a positive light. ✨

When was the last time that you saw one of these posts in your feed? 🧵🪡

Perhaps you've never seen something like this before and have no idea what it is, or maybe you are so sick of these that you've scrolled right past.

This is a post that I did on the new social media app "Threads" which launched just over one month ago and had over 30 million downloads within 16 hours. 🤯⚡️

Threads is an app that offers people the ability to start conversation threads with images, text and videos and then interact with others “threads” through replies, reposts and likes. 💭

While Threads may have lost its initial hype over the last few weeks, I do think there are a wide range of things that we can learn from this app, to implement into our other social media platforms. 💻

To better share my thoughts, I have written a blog post where I tell you if you should be considering using threads and what we can learn from this new app. You'll find this blog post via the link in our bio.

I'd love to know if you have used Threads and what your initial thoughts on the app were? 👇🏼

As I was creating my content for the month, I knew exactly the sort of post I wanted to upload today. ✨

When it came to writing the caption, I got in my head, started to overthink and question my idea, finding myself sitting there staring at a blank screen. 💻

I left it for a couple days and still I came up dry, and if you must know, I now find myself writing this an hour before it goes live. 😅

Perhaps you've felt like this when it comes to your social media content? Unfortunately, it happens to the best of us, no matter how hard we try to have it all organised.

So this is your reminder to stop overthinking your content – trying to make the perfect post – but simply get something out there or you never will. 🤳🌷

How often do you take time out for yourself as a business owner? 🪫

Let’s be honest, for most of us it’s usually not very often. There is always something to be done, something to work on or someone that needs an answer.

But let me just remind you that the less you put yourself first, the harder it is to show up and give 110% to your work, which can lead you to resenting it and falling out of love with the business that you have worked hard to build.

Prioritising myself and the things that fill up my cup, helps me to manage my business better, avoid burnout, invites room for creativity, provides me with more motivation for the work that I am doing and all of these things as a result help me to provide my clients with a better service. ✨

Whether it’s a few minutes to read a book, watch a movie, spend time with your loved ones or spend time in nature, whatever it is that fills your cup – make sure to do this, and do it regularly.

What does self care for you look like? 👇🏼

Have you ever felt like this… 👇🏼

No matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to come up with any ideas for your social media pages?

You sit down in the evening to write a caption or create some content but you find yourself staring at a blank screen, wasting your time. ⏰

Soon weeks and maybe months have gone by and you realise you’ve put off posting anything, because you never had any ideas. 🥲

Sound like you? Well, we’ve been here too.

The one thing we keep coming back to is that when it comes to social media, content planning is CRUCIAL. ⚡️

This was the sole reason that we created our printable content calendar. We wanted to provide a tool to help you plan your content in advance, but also provide a range of content ideas to help inspire you. 🌷

Having a regular time where you can sit down and plan out your content in advance, whether that be weekly, fortnightly or monthly is the best way that you can ensure you are consistently getting content out to your audience.

We especially recommend doing this when inspiration hits, therefore creativity will flow easily. ✔️

It's that time of year again... ⏰

The time to reflect, re-align and revisit where you've been and where you are going.

I am the kind of person who is highly organised and ambitious, always setting goals for myself and holding myself to achieving them. 📝✔️

With this in mind, looking back at some of the business goals I set for myself back in January, I was somewhat surprised to see that most of them had been achieved within only 6 months!

I put this down to the number of small decisions that I have made each and every day - specifically working on my procrastination, time management and finding ways to re-ignite the love I have for my business. ⚡️

As we move into the second half of 2023 and the start of a new financial year, I will be continuing to explore what it means to implement more sustainable changes to my business, and how I can best help more business owners.

I'll also be giving myself the space and rest that I need with a few big personal changes coming over the next few months!

So what about you? What does the next year look like for you? 👇🏼

A few days away was just what this business owner needed… 🚙🙌🏼 In 2022, I took my first work-free holiday in three years. I felt so refreshed, revitalised and full of creativity after that trip that I made a promise to myself that moving forward I would be more intentional about taking time off and not feeling guilty for doing so. It’s true what they say that you can’t be creative all the time and this last week that I took off, exploring the Limestone Coast, was the reset that I needed to start this year strong! ✔️ I hope this is a sign that if you are feeling like you need a break, take it when you can! It’s worth it. 👏🏼 www.foundsocialmedia.com.au

Viral Content VS Quality Content

The number of followers you have does not determine the overall success of your business! 😉 Instead of focusing on skyrocketing your following with people not interested in your service 👉🏼 focus on consistently creating QUALITY content that ENGAGES your audience and trust that the RIGHT followers will come in their own time! Struggling with coming up with content ideas to engage your audience? I'd love to help! 💌 www.foundsocialmedia.com.au

Day in the Life of a Social Media Manager

What does the average day in the life of a Social Media Manager look like? Hint: All day is not spent on Social Media! 😅 I love that every day of working in this job is different! Some days I spend majority of the day doing the same things & other days I work on a variety of different tasks like this day! 🗓 Client Post Scheduling 👩🏼‍💻 Content Creation ☀️ Walk / Break Time 📈 Monthly Reporting 💌 Client Emails 💻 Admin Tasks 📱 Community Engagement As a business owner, I love the flexibility of being able to (for the most part) choose what I want to do when I feel like it and when it works best for me! 🤩 www.foundsocialmedia.com.au
