This image is AI…but I definitely look scarier in real life- especially when I’ve got 47 tabs open and a brain full of lists.
It’s that time of year when everything starts to blur together, geting client cmapaigns planned out and tied up for the end of the year, making time to plan next year, keeping on top of all the platform updates and changes...all while trying to order a Halloween costume that's sold out and Amazon Prime says delivery Nov 1st, and Mariah is slowly defrosting over on Insta ready to belt out that Christmas song in under 24 hours.....and every family member has a birthday in November..

Tell me I'm not alone does your to-do list look truly terrifying too?👻💀

I am NOT going to apologise for saying this again......Stop putting links in captions! Instagram doesn’t make them clickable (yep, still and said they don't plan to).

What can ypou do with a link instead-
-Add the link to your bio
-Share it in a story sticker
-use a trigger word and share it in your DMS (this way you'll start conversations, get more engagement and retain more people)

Be really clear about what you want your audience to do and make it easy for them .
Whihc method do you use just now?

We’re all busy, right? But this one’s an easy trend to jump on right now.
Say a few things you always find yourself saying, without sharing your job title, and let people guess what you do!
I’ll start…
"Click that.." “Don’t boost it- build an ad.” “Stories can be informal" “Use a trending audio"
I was also told I always used to say -" I'm not being funny ...but"
Your turn- what do you say on repeat?

It’s October break here in Scotland - the weather’s grey, and my energy’s… well, somewhere under a blanket, and all I want to do is binge watch The Summer I Turned Pretty (yes I know I'm so very late to that party).
This week hasn’t gone to plan (at all). Between family stuff and general life chaos, my socials have been quiet.

And you know what? That’s OK. Some weeks you just keep the wheels turning- the rest can wait. If your week’s gone off-script, you’re not alone. Sometimes real life wins, and the best thing you can do is take a breath and start again.

If you ever find yourself in one of those “everything’s happening at once” weeks, here’s a little backup plan ⬇️

10 ChatGPT prompts to save your socials when life happens.
They’ll help you show up in your voice, even when your brain’s full of everything else.
Save this post so you’ve got it ready for the next curveball week.

Assume nothing.
If it feels “too simple to post”… it’s probably exactly what your audience needs.
Last week I spoke to a business owner who’d never even heard of ChatGPT- proof that what’s obvious to you might be brand new to them.
- Share the basics.
- Spell things out.
- Add value, even in the simplest ways.

Because simple is valuable. Don’t overthink it.
Save this for the days you think you’ve got nothing to post ✨

Me watching Instagram drop a 5120x1080 reel size like…wtf is that???!
Honestly, who asked for this?
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should, (that includes you Instagram)

Feels like change for the sake of it - and that’s not strategy. Thoughts? Will you be trying it?

I'm always being asked what to post on Instagram or when to post for the best results.
Your answer is already inside the app , have you checked out the new Instagram Monthly Recap (found in your Professional Dashboard).

This free tool is designed for small business owners, service providers, and independent brands who want to:
- See when their followers are most active (your best posting times- (I still test these & take them with a pinch of salt)
- Find out which content is performing (Reels, carousels, posts)
- Track growth month to month (reach & followers)
- Get a realistic posting targetbased on current routine (so you can stay consistent without burning out)

If you’re using Instagram to market your business, this recap is like a shortcut to building a content plan that actually works. No more guessing. No more “post & hope for the best”. Just clear insights you can use straight away.

Why not save this post so you remember to check your recap each month!

My story

Hi I’m Angela the voice behind Clydeside Social.

In 2018 in this ever changing fast paced world I found myself concerned for the stability of my career in retail management. My future seemed uncertain as the high street dwindles around us. I decided to find an opportunity that would re ignite my passion for learning and helping others and signed up for the Diploma in strategic social media management with the accredited Digital Mums. 11 months later I am starting out as a freelance social media manager after running @ClydesideStyle a grass roots social media campaign.

Clydeside Social is born ..... I offer a range of services from social media management, blog writing to training and everything in between. I am passionate about helping businesses succeed in their Social media. Here you will find tips and links to how to improve your business’ social media platforms, as well as a few motivational quotes- because lets face it we all need that (and cake!).

If you want to chat about how I might be able to help with your Social media then get in touch, I may just be what your business needs.
