Want us to create you a content strategy?

We see a lot of businesses on social media that will post without any meaning.

When you post, think about what your goal is, would your target audience be interested and does it match your mission & vision?

If you're not sure, let us help:
* write down what your mission & visions statements are/create a customer profile ~ plan your content

OR
✨ hire a social media manager who can do all of the above for you…. US!

It is always good for growth as a creator to have a well defined niche- and within that niche, find and connect with other creators. Comment on their posts, engage with them. This not only builds connection and community but it will show your page to more potential followers too within this space 😍

Holiday content you should be creating this season! 🎅🏼
1. Gift guides for everyone on your list
2. Holiday food and drink ideas
3. Holiday tips and tricks in your niche

What kind of holiday content are you creating this year?

Take pics and videos as often as you can so you always have content to fall back on 📸

Have you posted a picture or reel on
IG and not gotten the engagement you hoped for? 👀

Do you analyze your insights after every single post and obsess over the numbers?

Do you then spiral into self doubt?
If you answered yes, l'd recommend doing these things to help you strategize with your content:

1. Don't get bogged down in the numbers - if you had one bad reel or post, just let it be and move on.
Sometimes there isn't any rhyme or reason to it- It just flops! It happens to all of us

2. If you are having post after post flop- maybe it is time to self audit your account. Is what you are sharing adding value, entertaining, educating, or inspiring your audience? If not, you may want to shift back to making sure your content falls into one of these categories.

3. Are you creating content for you or for your audience? If you're only creating for yourself, this may be cause for a lack of engagement. Make sure your content is for them! This is what keeps people coming back for more AND attracts a new audience!

4. Keep doing YOU! If you're following the tips above, are passionate, and have a strong brand message, you have to let go of the little set backs and move on!

When you're just starting out on socials - don't focus on just follower count- focus on creating valuable content. Then through this your authenticity will show and lead to organic growth!

The holidays can be such a fun time of year! Like we've talked about, there is so much content to create in the holiday season. But- that can mean you can get burned out easily! By putting a plan in place you can avoid burnout and enjoy this season!

Here are some tips:
1. Batch shoot your content and prep your posts. That way you know what days will be busiest and other days can be lighter.
2. Know when to say no and set boundaries
3. Set certain days during the week to enjoy the season with your family or friends
4. Set goals and put a plan in place to realistically achieve them
5. Don't create content just to create content!
Everything should have value and purpose even during the holidays! 🎅🏼

Everyone wants their Social Media pages to grow, but are you doing the right things to allow that? 👀

I’d like to say that growing your page shouldn’t be at the top of your list. Creating engaged followers and sharing the content YOU want should be 🙌🏼

⚡️Nice Visual

The visual is what your audience will see first. Ensure your brand guidelines are aesthetically pleasing and match the niche you're targeting.

⚡️Catchy Headline

Tell your audience what your post is about with a fabulous headline. Make
sure you get those keywords in.

⚡️Unique Content

Don't copy what everyone else is doing, be unique. I know it's difficult
sometimes as million pieces of content gets shared-but try it.

⚡️Mix Of Hashtags

Mix up those hashtags. You want to reach a new audience with each post
right? Well you won't be doing that with the same copy and paste
hashtags.

Hope this helps!!!! 💗

Hi everyone! So unfortunately a few months ago our Be Socially Awesome Instagram was sadly taken down - we have absolutely no idea why! We have tried everything in our power to get it back with sadly no luck. Instead of focusing on the negative we have turned it into a positive and we are BACK with a big rebrand coming soon across all platforms starting with our new insta. We could love it if you could refollow us here —-> www.Instagram.com/be.sociallyawesome

The Chronological Feed is making a
comeback in 2022! Instagram has announced that in early 2022 you'll have the option of choosing either a chronological feed (aka back to IG's OG roots) orkeeping your feed how it is at the moment!

Whats the difference?

CHRONOLOGICAL FEED
* Posts appear on your feed in time order of when they're posted. Theoretically, you'll be able to scroll your entire feed and be all 'caught up' on what everyone postedthat day

CURRENT ALGORITHM
*Posts are delivered to you based on your activity delivered to you based on your activity
and the content you interact with most
The algorithm actually works in your favour to show you relevant posts.

People were not happy Jan when Insta first introduced the algorithm and ditched the old one so this announcement has come as a welcome surprise for a lot of people! What do you think? I’m excited about it! 😍

This should ideally be your logo or YOU as it gives you validity and authencity!

Word-of-mouth will always be your NUMBER 1 form of FREE advertising!

There is no denying that!

Nothing speaks more highly of your business, product or service, than someone genuinely speaking highly of your business product or service 😜

But do you know what’s second to word-of-mouth? WORD-OF-MOUSE (the computer kind) 👩🏼‍💻📱

It is now easier than ever for consumers to discover new businesses!! Especially thanks to SM and the ‘Gram! 📲

IG makes it SO EASY for businesses to grow brand awareness and gain social proof.

I’m talking through:
👉🏼 post shares and regrams
👉🏼 profile tags and shares
👉🏼 mentions and shoutouts
👉🏼 influencer marketing
👉🏼 user-generated content

Not to mention, it provides businesses the ability to speak DIRECTLY to a customer/client and build relationships with them online 👯‍♀️

Seriously, WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE ✨

Just step into you’re ‘consumer’ shoes for a moment and think about it...how many times have you learnt about a brand because someone shared it on social media?

How many times have you visited a restaurant based on a photo you saw a of their mouth-watering gnocchi 🍝 on the Gram? (I heart gnocchi)

Or visited somewhere, you otherwise wouldn’t have known about if someone hadn’t posted about it?

See just how AH-MAZING social media CAN be for you and your biz? 👏🏼

In summary: Word-of-mouth is POWERFUL
