Users will also soon be able to block posts on certain topics from appearing in their stream. (source:socialmediatoday.com)

There is a reason we have emoticons. Emoticons or emojis serve the purpose of conveying emotions pretty well, right?

But of course, proper use of emotions is essential to convey the desired tone and the right sentiment behind the message.

It is literally as easy as adding a 😃.

Besides, the emoticons get the readers more thrilled about your content. So, the next time you write, feel free to drop in your favorite emoticons in the caption. It won't ruin your professionalism.

Did you know?

Live video reach is expected to see 15-fold growth and reach 17 percent of all internet traffic.

So, if you and your team haven’t been “going live” regularly, it’s time to include these kinds of videos in your social media marketing plan.

Live videos are great for giving your audience a behind-the-scenes look at your business.

They also give you a chance to foster more personal connections with current and potential customers as you sit down in a casual setting to share news or answer questions.

🛀 In the shower

According to Harvard University researcher Shelley H. Carson, showers promote distraction and serve as an “incubation period” for our problems. Even a short one can help organize our thoughts and reduce stress by enhancing our brains’ production of the feel-good neurotransmitter dopamine.

🤱 When you become a mom

This is an obvious one. Moms are constantly thinking of new ways to help their kids, and it has a positive impact on the way their brains work. Are you a working mom yourself?

✨ During your period 💃

Surprised?

Yes, when your hormonal activity is low and estrogen levels are gradually increasing during this stage of your menstrual cycle, your productivity heightens and so does your creative instincts.

🚴‍♂️ When you exercise

This is a given. The connection between movement and increased cognitive abilities has been proven throughout the years.

🌙 At night

But this depends on an individual. But there is a vast majority of people who reported to be more creativite late at night than in the mid-afternoon and early evening.

So...when are more likely creative?

Again, keep it short and sweet. ✨

A good Instagram bio explains what your business does and who it’s for - your target audience. So, if you’re an entrepreneur or creator, you can also use your Instagram bio to help set you apart in your industry.

Think about your skills or any experiences that might be of interest to potential followers.

🤔 For example, are you in real estate? What type are you specifically involved in? Residential? Commercial? Industrial? Do you accommodate manufacturing, hotels, family homes?

Additionally, you can also 👉 specify the state or city where your brand serves.

Any details that can help your target audience clearly see if you're what they're looking for, put it in.

According to research, for hedonic products, promoted posts from small influencers (with 10k to 100k followers) drive more sales than those of large influencers (with 1m followers or more). However, if the product is utilitarian, the influencer’s size doesn’t matter.

👉 Note: Hedonic products include fashion, restaurants, decorative candles, premium hotels, or high-end electronics. Utilitarian, on the other hand, are products that are more useful or practical, such as basic kitchen appliances, bottled water, insect-repellent candles, motels, etc.

✨✨

The general idea is that micro-influencers drive better results than macro-influencers. Would you agree with this?

Snap’s overall audience has increased by 20% year-over-year, while it saw its most significant growth in the ‘Rest of the World’ segment, which rose by 10 million users.
it’s a good report for Snap, with the numbers showing steady growth in key areas, and reflecting its focus on the right elements for its community.

And if it can become a key connective platform in more emerging markets, Snap’s opportunities will continue to grow, facilitating more forms of connection in user communities.

LinkedIn is a popular professional networking site, which, if used well, can propel your career to new heights.

In this case, use the platform to position yourself as an ideal candidate or a subject matter expert.

Thus, keep it mind that a strong professional network is not measured by how many connections you have. Instead, the quality of your connections should be the guiding light when networking. ✨✨

This step may be a really hard one, but it’s also absolutely necessary.

You can’t overcome a fear that remains hidden in the dusty regions of your subconsciousness. You must face it.

When you turn your face toward a person, you see that person and learn what he looks like and how he is acting. Likewise, when you turn toward your fear, you notice things about your fear that you didn’t know before. This awareness helps you overcome it.

One of the most recommended ways to face your fears and anxiety is by keeping a journal over a period of two or three weeks. Record any patterns you notice. Transferring your fear patterns and symptoms into writing can help demystify them.
How would you learn about your fear(s)?

Create a good Instagram bio by making sure that your ✨ Name Field ✨ is optimized with your name and/or a searchable keyword. 👈

For example, if you’re in the healthcare industry, you may want to include your full name along with your job title.

This way, when people search for you on Instagram, they’ll be able to easily find the correct account.

For example - "John Rosario, Dentist"

Instagram also considers the name and username fields in search queries. With this in mind, you may want to use keywords that potential followers may search for.

For example - "Megan Reese - Asian Recipes"
Do you offer a specific service? Are you known for something in particular? Then put it in. 🙂

When you think about how much of your time you spend at work, it makes sense to broaden the definition of self-care to include your professional, hardworking self as well.
Are you overworked? 😕 You should start reconsidering your habit of forgetting what you need - a break!

👉 FACT: It’s the stories that sell, not the product.

It is actually the emotional attachment that a brand builds with its audience. Stories inspire ideas and encourage interaction.
You can talk about the story behind creating your brand.

There are simpler ways to move your audience. You can share successive posts to relate the whole story from the beginning to the end. Because the blow-by-blow arouses excitement that is great to make your story compelling.

Get as close as you can to the language of the job description...

✨ Additional Tip: If you plan to cast a wide net by uploading a general resume to your LinkedIn profile, make sure it’s tailored to the primary job you want — then update your keywords when applying to positions that deviate from the norm.

“If you don’t have time to do it right, what makes you think you have the time to do it over?” -Seth Godin

You must have heard that working hard is great but working smarter is better. Thus, a smart choice would be hiring a virtual assistant.
4 ways a social media manager can save time and get better results:

✨ Focus on habits, not goals - Action. Habit-driven action.
✨ Have a written social media strategy
✨ Make good use of a content calendar & scheduling tool
✨ Measure and analyze your results - Reach, Engagement, Leads, Conversions

and so on...

A social media manager who saves time and gets better results remains motivated. Your output is a lot better, and your audience appreciates what you do and comes back for more.

Meta is developing a new AI Research SuperCluster (RSC), which is said to eventually become the fastest AI supercomputer in the world, when it’s fully built out by mid-2022.

Meta’s new, advanced computational system will be able to process HUGE amounts of data, facilitating development in a WIDE RANGE of applications, with a specific view towards the next stage of its metaverse vision. 😲
Concluded, the potential is massive but it will take time to see the results of these developments.

We may find it interesting to see how Meta’s processes evolve and whether these advanced systems result in a significant acceleration in its development cycles.

Being a high achiever might make you feel good about yourself and help you excel at work, but being a perfectionist is different. It can create problems for you, even those around you. 😬

You might not be able to do everything perfectly, every time—especially in a busy, fast-paced job.

Thus, a good strategy to avoid the perfectionism trap is always striving to ✨ just do your best and making time to congratulate yourself ✨ on your efforts.

You may find that your results are better and you’ll be much 🙂 less stressed at work.

According to research...

📌 81% of people are more concerned about their social privacy than they were last year

📌 53% of social media users create unique passwords for each of their accounts

📌 69% have deleted or thought of deleting a social media account because of recent social media data breaches

👇👇

But with all the concerns, should it lead you to delete your accounts entirely?

26/01/2022

According to Meta:

“Since 2017, we’ve reported on over 150 influence operations with details on each network takedown so that people know about the threats we see - whether they come from nation-states, commercial firms, or unattributed groups. Information sharing enabled our teams, investigative journalists, government officials, and industry peers to better understand and expose internet-wide security risks, including ahead of critical elections.”
There’s been a significant move away from international pushes with localized operations becoming more prevalent.

However, Meta's efforts appear to be paying off and with more coordinated misinformation pushes being caught out, more action is being taken to hold perpetrators accountable in an effort to disincentivize similar programs in the future.
