Meet the man behind the 🥪 - Edwin 👋
If you’re new here, hi! It’s so nice to “meet” you 👋
Thanks for following and spending your time reading this.
I’ve been running this account for about 4 years now, with the aim of helping businesses just like yours create meaningful, engaging content, and ultimately, to make money.
I’ve worked in social media for 11 years now 🤯
Before it was even close to being considered a full-time job, I was running accounts for national sporting bodies like the Australian Open and Cricket Australia 🎾
I moved into the TV world, spending 4 years at Channel 10, and use many of the learnings I got there with what I teach today.
I saw how many people misunderstood the point of social media - it’s to entertain, not to promote.
So when TV peeps told me to post a photo saying “X show is on tonight at 7.30pm”, I challenged them with “why does our audience care about this?” 🤔
That was 6-7 years ago and that line of thinking has never been more relevant than today.
My biggest piece of advice I give all businesses I work with is to show, don’t tell.
Think about it.
People aren’t on Instagram to buy stuff, they’re on here because they’re bored.
So if you want to actually grow an engaged audience on here, you need to think about engaging them first, then the sell comes second.
That’s why I’m running a 7 Day Posting Challenge that starts literally today (DM me if you want a last minute entry), and share weekly tips on how businesses can do exactly that - show, not tell.
I’m so grateful I get to spend my working days helping people like you - so thank YOU for all the support, now let’s make some fun posts.🥳
