According to Adam Mosseri (Head of Instagram) follower accounts matter less than view and like counts. He said 'followers aren't an accurate representation of how relevant an account is.'
So to boost views, and likes, your content needs to be good for your account to be successful!

Struggling to keep up with your social media? Let’s change that! Imagine having all your posts ready to go, weeks in advance. Here’s a simple plan to make it happen:
📝Pick your main themes (Content Pillars): Think of 4-5 topics your product or service is related to. These are your guides to making sure you always have something interesting to share.
📝Brainstorm ideas: What’s happening this month? Any events, special days, awareness days, or new things you’re doing? Jot down all your ideas. Don’t forget to consider any important dates or promotions you want to highlight.
📸Get your photos and videos ready: Need images or videos? Time to gather what you’ve got or plan a quick shoot. This step is all about getting those visuals ready.
📝Set aside time to batch create copy and visuals: Block out some time to write your posts and put together your photos or videos. Doing it all at once means you’re set to save time in the long run.
💻Schedule your posts: Use a tool like @metricool to schedule your posts. This way, your social media looks after itself, and you can focus on the important things like engagement with your audience and reactive content.
💬Stay engaged every day: Even with your posts planned, remember to check in daily. Chat with your followers and share any spontaneous moments, especially in stories.
Batch creating your content is great for saving time and for staying active online enabling you to spend time working on your business.

🚨 Are You at Risk of Being Hacked? 🚨
Keeping your social media profiles and business pages secure is crucial. With the increasing number of scams, especially through Facebook Messenger, it's essential to take steps to protect your accounts.
Here are two key actions you can take:
1️⃣ Set Up Two-Step Authentication on Facebook/Instagram: This adds an extra layer of security. Here's how:
🔹Go to your Security and Login Settings on Facebook.
🔹Scroll to 'Use two-factor authentication' and click 'Edit'.
🔹Choose the authentication method and follow the on-screen instructions.
2️⃣ Add a Trusted Person as an Admin on Your page: This ensures you're not the only one with access in case of a hack. To do this:
🔹Go to your Page and click 'Page Settings'.
🔹In the 'Page Roles' section, type a friend's name or email and select a role.
🔹Click 'Add' and enter your password to confirm.
Don't let hackers take control! Type "keep safe" in the comments for a full tutorial video on how to secure your accounts. 🔒
