Social Media Content Ideas for the week.
My Motivational Monday Morsel for those of you working in the sports industry who struggle to think of what to post to your social media platforms.
Do you have any other suggestions, why not share what works for you and your business in the comments below? Maybe itโs a training plan or testimonial, share away!! โฌ๏ธ
Nothing coming to mind? Why not send me a message and we can arrange a 1 hour power hour where we can look at the types of posts and content that will work for you and your audience.
Latest update from LinkedIn......can you guess?
GAMES!!!
Not necessarily something you would have expected but here are my thoughts on why they have taken this step, or maybe leap is more appropriate!
๐ฅ Enhanced Engagement: Games like Queens, Crossclimb, and Pinpoint aim to boost user interaction on LinkedIn.
๐ฅ Daily Fun: Each game can be played once a dayโperfect for quick breaks without sacrificing productivity. No disappearing down a rabbit hole!
๐ฅNetworking through Play: Games are designed to strengthen connections within the professional network. Could this be the next Wordle boast?
๐ฅ Strategic Move: Follows the trend of media using games to increase engagement, similar to what newspapers have done with puzzles.
๐ฅ Balanced Approach: Limited daily play maintains LinkedIn's professional focus while adding a fun element.
So will you be leaping on this new feature?
So many business owners get this wrongโฆ Hereโs the truth and we want to hear what you have to say.
"I'm not an expert."
"What if somebody challenges what I have to say?"
"Why are people actually interested in what I've got to say?"
Sound familiar?
These are just some of the excuses my clients give for not turning up on social media consistently.
Watch the video and give yourself permission to get involved and build your community / target audience.
Will you show up more?

Here are at least ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ด๐ด๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฎ ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐๐ particularly relevant if you are connected to the triathlon industry in any way.
My content suggestions include:
๐โโ๏ธ Swim techniques - how to shave seconds off your swim time. This could also apply to cycling or running. (Yikes that's 3 posts already! )
๐ Tips - share a training plan for a beginner or someone coming back from injury. Or maybe a winter training plan or explain why it is so important to taper before a race. (oooh that's another 4 posts)
๐ฝ๏ธ Nutrition plan - what to eat when training, in the build-up to a race, or what to eat on race day before, during, and after the triathlon. (That's another 3 posts)
๐ดโโ๏ธ Tech Talk - discuss the kit you need or don't need for each phase of a triathlon. Share your favourite supplier's website or shout out the second-hand Facebook groups for those on a budget. (That's 6 social media posts at least ๐)
๐ข Shout out other triathletes - who do you admire and why? Pro's, amateurs, male, female etc share the love and help raise their profiles too.
Why not save this post for future reference or hit the ๐ to follow me for more Social Media help.

30+ Gloucestershire charities now have the skills to develop and implement their own social media strategy.
Do you have a social media strategy?
Do you know who you are talking to or how to increase your audience engagement levels?
Thanks to the recent VCS Summer Programme hosted by @the-growth-hub & #GloucestershireVCSAlliance I was able to share my social media knowledge with charity leaders to enable them to increase their levels of funding, help more people and create greater awareness of who they are.
If you think your business could do with some direction and a plan when it comes to social media, or maybe you have a plan but just need to be kept accountable for implementing it please get in touch.

Who loves a freebie?
If you do and you are keen to up your Instagram Reels game then head over to my Instagram account (link in comments) and enter the competition to win Get Social with Reels for you AND a friend/business acquaintance.
Did you know that
๐ฅ Instagram Reels receive 22% more engagement than regular Instagram video posts.
๐ฅ Reels appear on the Explore page where 50% of Instagram users discover new content.
๐ฅ Reels receive 3 to 4 times as many views as ordinary Instagram videos.
If you scroll through your feed the majority of the content Instagram serves to you is in Reel format. They don't have to be complicated and I promise you don't have to dance, but they do need to be there to be seen.
So jump to my Instagram account, enter the competition and you too could learn to love a Reel!
Good luck!

A social media toolkit in your pocket...
You know your business should be on social media and that video is the key. But the thought of putting yourself out there is scary and overwhelming.
Join us tonight at 8pm when we go live to talk about why we put this 10 lesson online course together.
It's great if you want to learn in your own time how to consistently post to the right social platforms with professional looking video content that connects with your audience.
Get Social with Video is your virtual social media manager.
It is simple, straight forward and it could be yours.
Tune in to Instagram live at 8pm. It's the ideal opportunity for you to ask us about it.
Can't make it? Then watch the recorded version available on our grid afterwards.
