Did you even know? Guess what, there was really no reason to tell you.
This is such good news! If you haven’t posted in a while, just start now. It’s ok. No one will be upset that you haven’t posted. You don’t even have to say anything!!
The best thing about social media is that you have to REALLY mess up or REALLY do something amazing for your audience to remember your last post.
That’s not so good news because what that means is that you do have to keep showing up for your audience to remember you. So today is as good a day as any to start.
Tag me in your post and I will come and notice that you showed up today.

I have figured out the secret to making social media simple. So many people look at posting and creating as a chore.
What if I told you it could be easy and fun? What if I told you, you could do it in 5 minutes?
I will be sharing more 5 minute b-roll ideas and I will be adding in another series on how to post on social media in only 5 minutes a day.
This is not spending hours one day so you can spend only 5 minutes a day. It is having a bank of things I know how to do that do not take hours to create.
Make sure you are following me to get all of the 5 minute ideas.

Social Media can just be for fun!
I planned on posting something businessy and posting more 5 minute B-roll ideas but I never got around to it today.
When I finally got around to making content today I just wanted to do something fun. So I did!
Tag me in some fun content you have created.

🤯 I made 5 b-rolls in less than 5 minutes by myself
**disclaimer #1** My son filmed me filming the b-rolls but he’s 10 and he wouldn’t have been that helpful.
**disclaimer #2** I only did 2 retakes because the dog and cat kept walking in the frame 🙄
Creating B-roll does not have to be hard or crazy. Now that I have those 5 videos on my phone I have 5 reels I can make this week using that content.
One of the most popular types of reels is when a creator or business owner adds words to tell their story or tell about their business over the B-roll.
I did not get dressed up. I wore a color that is my branding color so it will work in lots of videos. I looked at my list of b-roll ideas and picked 5 I could do in my backyard.
Here are the 5 ideas I picked and how I might use them:
1️⃣ Walking out the door and waving hi - this is perfect for intros and telling about what I do
2️⃣ Walking in the door - I can use this to share results or a change I am making
3️⃣ Sitting at my patio table and putting on sunglasses - this will work for sharing ideas or tips with my audience
4️⃣ Silly video with my dog, me sitting on a rock - I love this for stories and talking about what is new and interesting
5️⃣ Reading a book - this is perfect for giving value and teaching something I am an expert at.
Just like that 5 reels done.
I can also use that B-roll for Stories too!
My goal is to help you make creating content simple! If you can do it in 5 minutes, that is a win for simple!!

Google told me so you know it’s true 😉
I did look up what the average growth rate is on a normal, active Instagram account. The responses I found said that the average growth rate is 2% each month.
You know people who have gone viral and increased by hundreds of followers and then you know people who say their account never grows.
Neither of those are great strategies - praying to go viral or just waiting to see what happens and then complaining about it.
There are so many strategies. There are so many experts. There are so many people with so many perfect ideas for growing an instagram account.
But for those of us with smaller accounts, businesses, kids, real live, etc it can be hard to figure out what the right thing is. There just isn’t time to do it all.
I have 2 books that I just love, The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy and Atomic Habits by James Clear. The premise of both books is that you make big change by doing small things over time.
That’s what this challenge was about - that’s what this strategy is. This was for the people who wanted accountability, who wanted practice to get better at reels, who wanted an idea every time they got stuck, and who wanted all the encouragement from the people who participated in the challenge with them.
I am blown away by the growth!! The average percentage increase was 23.1%!! That’s way above the average (and just in case you ask the were no outliers in this data set).
This just showed that we didn’t have to do all the strategies to start the change. We just had to do one small thing.
Now we need to keep it going!! Who is up for the next challenge?

Guess what I just did? (And how I did it)
I posted on social media without overthinking!
There just wasn’t time. I needed to post a reel for a challenge that I am hosting and I had the kind of day that I just never got to any of the things I planned to do 🤦♀️
So at 10pm I decided I was going to use content I had on my phone from the last Content Creators Club and find an audio that I liked. Literally that was my entire thought process!
I don’t know if it’s a great reel but it is true. It is the real me showing my real life. I know so many people can resonate with this. We all do it. It gets late and we can either panic and stress or just do the best we can!

❤️🩹 Sometimes love just isn’t enough.
I have spent so much time trying to figure out what I could have done better or different to have made this business more profitable to stay in business.
But instead of dwelling on the what ifs this week, I am trying to remember all of the impact that Nine to Five has had on the community.
I have been so proud to have had the space that helped propel multiple businesses to grow so much they needed their own space.
I have watched so many business connections be made over the last 3 years.
I have met so many people and have been blessed with having the best coworkers. It was because @theamystuder was a member at Nine to Five that our friendship and business partnership was able to grow and for that I am eternally grateful.
I have only ever heard what a bright spot Nine to Five had been to the community. I love everytime someone tells me they love the welcoming feeling they get when coming to Nine to Five.
I couldn’t have had such an amazing community without @verdiebirdie_ She has excelled as our community manager and helped be the glue with all of our members. She took the time to get to know each of them personally so they would feel at home when they came in to work. I am so grateful to have found such a warm and wonderful manager.
I am thankful. I am sad. I am excited for new beginnings and know that this experience will forever shape how I do business, with all my heart. ♥️

🚫 I started all wrong. I thought I could just set out on my brand journey and I would just find it or create it along the way.
Well, after 2 days I had no direction. I really needed some sort of map to figure out what to do. I have been following another creator who seems to be on a similar path but short of copying all of her content, there wasn’t an exact path from me.
If you know anything about me, I like to be on my own journey. I don’t like to do things the same way as other people and I’m always so worried if I accidentally come up with a similar idea I will look like I am copying. (The elementary kid in me is still there 🤦♀️)
I have a few marketing and branding gurus that I follow and I love the way they present their ideas, @thechrisdo @storybrand and @sethgodin so I decided to figure out what they would recommend I do.
I did that with Chat GPT. I will share my prompts in another post.
I wanted to figure out what these branding experts would tell me to do in the next 90 days. I fed Chat GPT lots of info about me and my goals, I shared who I wanted advice from, and then I asked Chat GPT to build a 90 strategy just for me.
I am so excited at all the information I got.
But here’s the thing, now I need to take all the strategy and 90 days of actions that I was given and build my plan. As you probably know, Chat GPT is the jumping off point not the final answer.
You can do this too! It really did take me some time and it took lots of revising and questions on my part. But I feel like I have direction.
Do you think that if you had an exact map you would take this personal brand creation journey?

Say it with me - you are not your business
Even though I know I’m not just my business, it’s a challenge not to see myself in every part of it.
At almost 50, I’m weaving decades of creativity and resilience into my latest chapter (but not my last), the Content Creators Club.
Here’s to defining success on our own terms and embracing every step of this vibrant journey.
