Ayoooo, to help you, I just completed The Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry 'It's time for TikTok' program.

They set this up as an initiative aimed at helping small business grow their customer base through a dynamic series of events and training focused around social media giant TikTok.

PS, see my TikTok packages via the link in bio to start growing your channel.

Who says a content strategy needs to be a 79-page thesis?

Sometimes, especially for small businesses, all it takes is a simple list of your content pillars and a good ol’ checklist to keep you on track.

For my clients, I utilize 'notes' to add the content pillars to the monthly plan [swipe to see!]

See how straightforward it can be?

I've been hearing this a lot...

"Ash my insta is dead"

Don't worry, this isn't just your account, worldwide insta is dropping in engagement, maybe because we're spending time on another certain app.... 👀

So if GROWTH is your goal right now, but you're currently not even talking to your current followers...

Maybe let's shift the thinking and try and nurture them first.

Goal #1 👉 Talk to the followers you currently have
Goal #2 👉 Build the engagement up with them
Goal #3 👉 Grow your account once they are active

This is hands down my favorite meme of the month.

Have a swipe through and let me know if any of these relate to you 😭

This is how brands are utilising their content strategy + trends!

The idea is to have both, you want content that is planned in advance and aligns with your brands values, promos, and future sales...

BUT ALSO you want to be a part of the Instagram game and take part in trends.

"But Ash how do I do both?!"

It's as easy as planning out your content a month or so in advance, these are the posts you'd do anyway – trend or not.

Then, as the trends come and go, you can slot these in when you have time to post.

That's how it's done!

If you find yourself glued to your laptop, drowning in work, it might be time to take a breather and show your socials some love in other ways 🌵😏

Take a step back to focus on other areas of your business while I run Insta, Facebook, and Tiktok in the back end.

Why stress over content creation and posting schedules when you can hand over the reins to me [and you all know I love content creation!] 😉

If you have a physical store where customers can visit, it’s crucial to keep them in the loop about your opening hours, especially during public holidays like the Grand Final this week here in vic.

A quick tip: post a story and post to let your customers know if you’re open or closed. It’s a simple way to avoid confusion and ensure that your customers aren’t left wondering about your availability. Add a cheeky booking link to the story to ask them to come in if you're open.

🚨 Do this especially if you're a restaurant, bar or cafe.

So you've got all this content from your reels, should you be posting it on TikTok?

Short answer: YES.

Think of it like this: Anything you post as a reel can be posted on TikTok but...

Not all TikToks can be posted as reels 👀🙃

✨ Reels = quality over quantity
🔥 Tiktok = quantity over quality

Make sense?

Brat vs. Demure: What’s Your Social Media Style?

So, are you posting like a sassy brat or a classy demure?

Brat: Bold, rebellious, and maybe a bit cheeky. Your posts are high-energy, unfiltered, and all about riding the latest trends. You’re spontaneous and relatable, serving up humor with a side of attitude.

Demure: Polished, consistent, and always planned in advance. Your content is curated and on-point with your branding, always.

Let me know your type below ⬇️

Swipe for details on packages 👉

Items must be shipped to Melbourne before 12th July. Check the 'BALI' highlight on my profile for some of my recent Bali work.

I get told this so much by clients "Ash, I can't film BTS footage because my workspace isn't " 😭

Lucky for you, perfect and polished content is in the bin 🗑️ and REAL, RAW and AUTHENTIC content is in ✅

+ there are many ways you can play with videos HINT: the zoom feature is such a blessing. My brand doesn't have a dedicated space, but we manage! Check out my reels on the page as an example of how I film packing orders.

15/05/2024

yes, i'm this again, soon!

last year i took over 25 products with me to get filmed in the most content villas – and the result?! = 🥵

this july, I'll be heading back with another chance for you to snag some epic shots, think:

🌴 reels that scream
🌴 ugc content you can sell
🌴 images you can repurpose

sign up for the bali form [its in my link in bio] and you'll get your hands on the best deals.

a reel 👉 a 10-20 second video

POV: your social media manager supporting your small business

i love working with clients like – whether it's creating content, modeling 😏, or simply purchasing from them because I truly believe in their mission – your social media manager should be an extension of the brand's team 🤝

reminder: the amount of followers you have does not define how successful you are in business.

i've worked with so many accounts with 100k followers and 0 sales – and i've worked with accounts with 10 followers and $100k in sales...

your brand is so much more than your instagram metrics. stop creating content based on increasing following count, start creating content for the people that are already following you, and see what happens.

anyone else still adjusting to the new sticker creative or just me?! luckily, Instagram has helped us by releasing 4 new stickers in the last week

let's see what they are and how they might help us as biz owners ⬇️

'add yours music' 👉 add your fav songs, and allow your followers to also add theirs? i don't really see this sticker being used by too many creatives tbh.

'frames' 👉 turns any photo into an instant print. interactive, your followers have to shake their phone to 'develop' the print... 🤔

'reveal' 👉 hidden stories! this one i can get around, the only way to see the content on your story is for your follower to message you. i like this in terms of launching a new service or product?!

'cutouts' 👉 turn any photo into a custom sticker - yeah, yeah we've seen this and can do this if you have an apple.

honestly, the only one i can see useful out of this is the reveal. have you played around? let me know if you plan to use any!

Why I started Sprint

I started Sprint because I like Social Media. I also enjoy working with small businesses to help their Socials grow and expand to new audiences. But - as we all know - the budget for a small businesses marketing fund is next to nothing. So I found myself having to work half a day on social, and the rest in sales. (gross!) With Sprint, I can charge small fees that are fit to a small business budget, and work with multiple companies to earn my living. This way I get to spend my entire day on Instagram! Yaaaay!
