What’s your summer strategy for social media?
Here are my top reasons I think you NEED to Post in the Summer! 🌞
⚫️People are off with the kids, so they’re scrolling social media!
✈️ When on holiday, people scroll.
🛍️ Summer spending increases because people are happier!
🍂 Stay visible - you’ll be front of mind in the autumn.
🕰️ If you stop posting now, it'll take longer to gain momentum later.
💼 Selling can happen anytime - your audience is always looking.
People in your audience are lurkers! 👀
Think about your own summer habits. Are you more intentional on IG or on more because you have time? 🤔

👀 Let’s be real for a second:
Navigating running a business during the school holidays especially when you’re the default parent is NO JOKE.
The juggle is not only real, it’s periodically whacking you on the head like some sort of deranged clown in a circus you didn’t even buy tickets for 🤡
BUT
❤️ We love our children...
❤️ We want to spend time with our children...
😱 We want to maintain our sanity.
Am I right?!
That’s why I wholeheartedly recommend getting your content scheduling for social media BEFORE the (cough cough) sh*t hits the fan and school’s out for summer.
Repurposing can be a great way to get ahead of the game:
• Choose 3-5 of your best performing posts (that are still relevant to your audience and offers)
• Pull out 2-3 points from EACH post
• Create a paragraph or two for each point
• Repurpose some graphics you already have or create a super easy trending reel on CapCut (like this one)
• Schedule
• Pour yourself a refreshing drink and pat yourself on the back 🥂

Let’s be real.
Content creation can be really blumming hard!
😣 Thinking of content ideas
😫 Trying to make content that’s super relatable to your audeince
😭 Actually GETTING IT DONE!!
The overwhelm is real, my friend.
This is exactly why my strategy intensive exists.
During the 2 hour session we will:
📌 Get REALLY clear on what you want social media to do for your business
📌 Get intentional with how you’ll be spending your time - cutting out all the faffy stuff
📌 Bring together a content plan that will make creating content easy
📌 Make a massive list of content ideas that you can go away and implement right away without having to use any more brain power - Phew 😮💨

Live Chat with Vicky Collins
Vicky is the founder of Total Tutoring, a business that started following her own experiences as a mum trying to find a tutor for her son.
She now has 4 children and juggles the highs and lows of running a successful business with supporting her family.
I can't wait to find out more about Vicky's journey into business from full time teacher and how her life has changed in that time
This morning was hard.🫣
My toddler fought EVERYTHING.
Every. Single. Thing.
He didn’t want to get up
💬”morning is closed today.”
He found a toy fish he hasn’t played with in 6 months in his bedroom from a plastic fishing rod kit we won at a Halloween fair, so he couldn’t get dressed because:
😫 “Mummy, you NEED to find the fish’s family!”
The breakfast we prepared wasn’t correctly shaped.
🫠 “I want big squares NOT SMALL!!!!”
... needless to say, when I got back from the school run (which at one point I felt like giving up on altogether) I needed a big coffee and a meditative sit down 🧘🏼♀️.
But you know what? This is life.
Not every morning is smooth sailing and not every week goes as planned.
This is why planning, preparation and buddies to keep you accountable to keep showing up can make ALL the difference!
If you know you’re not showing up consistency in your business and feel in a never ending hamster wheel and an uphill battle to try and get content done and posted then you NEED THIS IN YOUR LIFE!

If you know what I’m talking about, you’re not alone!!
In fact, struggling to encourage engagement is the number one reason that my clients reach out for help in the first place.
📌 good engagement comes down to one main thing… sharing content your audience CARES about.
They have an emotional reaction.
They resonate with it.
They feel like you’re talking to them.
Do you sometimes find getting engagement hard on social media?
Be honest...
Do you spend hours planning your social media content?
And even after all that time and effort, you’re still not sure what difference it actually makes?

Reels are changing and I’m here for it!
We’re seeing more original content, more talking head videos, more emphasis on entertaining your audience - and that’s just the start.
But these are definitely things we can leave in 2023, thank you very much:
1. Aligning your text out of the guidelines it give you so no one can read it properly.
2. Choosing a lip-syncing audio but then not syncing… 🤨
3. Promising in the hook to deliver then I have to trail through the caption to find it
4. Blurry video or smudgy lenses
5. B-roll content with a text overlay that doesn’t have a point to it
What else would you add to the list?

Reach is down (again), you feel like you’re shouting into a void and your patience with instagram is wearing THIN... 🤯
Before you throw in the towel and take another ‘I can’t be bothered with all this s**t’ break from Instagram, hear me out! 👇
🙈 You probably need to SHOW UP MORE on Instagram to see results.
And before you come at me about having no time as it is... lemme give you 3 ways to SHOW UP MORE without spending more time on the app:
1️⃣ Set yourself a time limit for content creation and stick to it
Once you are really clear on your content pillars (i.e. what you are positing about) content creation should be really quick. Use template for graphics and carousels and repurpose copy to save time.
2️⃣ Instead of spending 20 minutes creating a reel, spend 10 and use the other 10 to engage.
Engagement is how you’ll grow on Instagram and how you will nurture your audience. End of!
3️⃣ Stop scrolling and show up in your stories.
I see you, spending your lunch break scrolling the latest reels! Instead of that, do a 30 second story telling your audience what you’re up to today - and brownie points if you link it back to something you’re selling!
Have you noticed your reach is down?
Let me know in the comments if you’re going to try any of these 👆

Here’s something I learnt as a teacher that is now something I implement every day as a business owner.
🗣 Real-time feedback
Real time feedback is as simple as it sounds - it’s watching what someone does in the moment - maybe they’re applying a new skills, or trying out something for the first time, or trying to be the best at what they are doing - and then using your expertise in that area to give them feedback.
This might be things they’ve done really well 🎉
And things they need to improve on 👉
As a teacher, this worked really well for children IN THE MOMENT
Not a week later, or when you’ve gotten around to marking their writing over the weekend ⏳
⭐️ When they were given feedback as they were doing something or within 24 hours, they made improvements faster
This principal works for adults as well 👇
When we are learning something new, applying something we have learnt or trying to perfect something, feedback from an expert to help us refine and change what we are doing will help us to make progress faster.
This is why investing in coaches and mentors for our business will always work quicker to help us improve than let’s say, a self-paced course 💡
Do you agree?
