What do you listen to while you're working?

I'm a music gal, because I cannot concentrate on an audiobook and work at the same time (trust me, I've tried).

Times have changed, and so have algorithms ⚡️

What do you really need to care about on Instagram in 2024?

Here's my basic list:

✨️ Consistency is king - How often you post doesn't matter in comparison to how consistently you do it.

✨️ Reels reach farther - While video content isn't being pushed as hard as before, they still tend to get more reach.

✨️ Your stories matter - so many people still underestimate the power of stories! This is your space to let your audience into your real everyday life. Give them a view on your office that morning, show them what packing an order looks like.

✨️ Keywords 🤝 hashtags - these two go hand-in-hand now. Don't forget SEO when it comes to social media!

✨️ Have fun with it - Very few people are looking for something THAT serious, enjoy your socials! Don't be afraid to get goofy, get personal, and add humour.

Four moments as a business owner that altered my brain chemistry 👇️

✨️ The first social media post - I remember how insanely nervous I was to put myself out there.

✨️ The first inquiry that came in from a stranger outside of my network - this one hit DIFFERENT.

✨️ The first positive review, it felt like the BEST validation that I was doing something right.

✨️ Every single inquiry, honestly, it never gets old!

What's one of yours?

Three things I've learned from other small business owners 👇️

✨️ It's okay to not know what you're doing - most of us don't! Almost every single entrepreneur I've met is making it up as they go. It's important to network and meet other small business owners, we can support each other and figure things out together!

✨️ You HAVE to take time away from your business. Burnout is real, and it will find you if you don't make time for yourself. Your business may be your life, but it can't be your entire life.

✨️ A change in environment goes a long way - if you're feeling stuck and unable to get your tasks done, take a walk. Go out and grab a coffee, just change your scenery and try again!

It's your turn, drop some wisdom below!

How do you take your coffee? 👀

Starting my Monday off with a GIANT double Americano with a smidge of honey. Still knee-deep in unpacking, building furniture, and just generally organizing my life.

Thank your village 🧡

This is your reminder to take a look around you and see who's there.

A year ago we lost everything we owned to a horrifying house fire, but we lost a lot more than just "stuff", we lost our sense of safety and peace.

The amount of people who came out, showed up, and let us lean on them was absolutely humbling. We were in awe of how incredibly lucky we are to be surrounded by such a beautiful village.

This has been a really really (REALLY) difficult year, but we couldn't have done it without all of you.

Thank you.

After just over a year, today is the day 🩷

The keys to our home are back in my hand, and we're on our way to bring the dogs back to where we all belong.

We're home 😭

10/06/2024

It's official, we're going home 🧡

I will be offline for most of next week because we are finally moving back into our home after losing it to a devastating fire just over a year ago. There's going to be a lot of heavy emotions, but mostly, major relief.

I'll share some snippets here and there of the process, but I'll be doing my best to stay in the moment and off of my phone.

Jacinta will be handling emails and DMs, so don't worry!

Wish us luck 🤞

🔍 Wondering what all the buzz about SEO is? Let's break it down!

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, and it's like giving your website a VIP pass to the front row of Google's search results. 💻✨

Here's the scoop: When someone Googles a topic related to your business, you want your website to pop up on the first page of results, right? That's where SEO comes in! By optimizing your website with relevant keywords, user-friendly content, and other magic tricks (okay, not really magic, but close enough!), you can boost your visibility online and attract more eyeballs to your site.

Why does it matter? Well, picture this: You're throwing the best party in town, but if nobody knows about it, how will they RSVP? The same goes for your website! Without SEO, you're basically hosting a party in a secret underground bunker—cool, but not exactly the place to be if you want to mingle with the masses.

So, whether you're a budding entrepreneur or a seasoned business pro, don't sleep on SEO! It's the secret sauce that'll help you stand out in a sea of websites and turn those clicks into clients.

Ready to make your website the talk of the town? Let's chat about how we can sprinkle some SEO magic into your online presence!

Have I ever told you what I love about being a social media manager?

Let me count the ways:

🚀 Creative Freedom: From brainstorming content ideas to designing eye-catching graphics, being a social media manager is like having a blank canvas to unleash your creativity and make magic happen! Whether it's crafting clever captions or curating the perfect feed aesthetic, every day is a chance to flex those creative muscles.

💼 Making a Difference: As a social media manager, you're not just posting pretty pictures—you're the voice behind the brand, connecting with customers, building relationships, and making a real impact on people's lives. Whether it's spreading joy, sharing valuable insights, or championing important causes, every post is an opportunity to make a difference in the world.

🤝 Building Community: One of the best parts of the job? Building and nurturing a vibrant online community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for your brand! From engaging with followers to fostering meaningful conversations, being a social media manager is all about cultivating connections and building relationships that last.

📈 Driving Results: At the end of the day, being a social media manager is about more than just likes and follows—it's about driving real, tangible results for your business. Whether it's increasing brand awareness, driving website traffic, or boosting sales, seeing your hard work translate into measurable success is the ultimate reward!

🌈 Never a Dull Moment: Let's face it—working in social media is anything but boring! From staying on top of the latest trends to navigating the ever-changing landscape of algorithms and analytics, being a social media manager is a whirlwind adventure that keeps you on your toes and constantly learning and growing.
