π and I know I'm not the only one....ββββββββββββββββββCheer to all my lovely SMMs out there, you're crushing ittt π«π₯
Here is some verrryy valuable information to literally *anyone* πβ‘οΈ In order to succeed on any social media platform - you have to provide some sort of value to your audience, and that can be a plethora of things. Unfortunately, there is no step-by-step instructions to do well on social media. BUT, think about the people you follow.... why do you follow them? Are they funny, are they a good resource, are they someone you know, are they motivational, are they aesthetic? ... see where I'm going with this?ββββββββββββββββββAll the market research you need is at your fingertips!! If you are marketing a product or service on socials, provide your audience with value and watch your numbers flourish π«
ANNNNND THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND! πββββββββββββββββββThis is an important lesson to learn being a social media manager (or literally anyone...) because we have so much "creative freedom" in our roles. Our ideas may be amazing to us but totally awful to someone else (been there, lol). Making sure you are like-minded with the people you work with is important π«
I am 100% about to make this a series because I looovoeee it so much π To all my fellow SMMs - you are seen and loved and appreciated and amazing, even if your client hasn't told you recently π«ΆπΌββββββββββββββββββHappy Friday - take this weekend for you π«
A question I get asked often is, "Do I need to be posting more?" And while yes, posting often is okay, you don't HAVE to post everyday for better engagement, growth, etc. Now, you definitely need to be consistent on how and when you post, but more doesn't always necessarily mean better π¬ββββββββββββββββββAnd, with that said, I *may* be one of the few people who will tell you this, but YES, you can be posting TOO much π«£
HEAVY influence on "you pay more attention than anyone else does" !!!!!! ππΌββββββββββββββββββI'm starting 2024 with some realness for ya - because I've learned all of these the hard way (.... and are continuing to re-learn over and over π«£). BUT that's okay, we are all human. I am hoping 2024 brings more hard truths, which is a weird concept... butttt we all need those hard truths to keep us on our toes, push us to do better, and learn and grow. Love ya friends - I'm happy you are here π©·β¨
Hiiii friends!! ππ» I will be unplugging from socials this week (for the most part) as I am traveling out of the country on vacation ποΈβοΈ See you when I get back to my desk on Monday!! π
Posted this graphic a few days ago, and truthfully when I had these photos done, I wasn't even sure if I was dead set on the whole "handwritten" , "authentic" , "imperfect" vibe because - if you know me - you know I like everythinnnnng to look symmetrical and perfect and pretty and everything I feel like this isn't. But, I took the leap and had Rachel shoot it anyways, and I am so glad I did πββββββββββββββββββMerry Christmas Eve to all my friends reading this. May the Lord bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you ππ©·
To my sweet, sweet Social Media Managers ... π
Truthfully, I've never liked the mindset of a "New Year's Resolution" because it seems so set in stone, like if you make it, you absolutely have to achieve it or you failed. Annnnd as a type 1 perfectionist, that gives me β¨ anxiety β¨ββββββββββββββββββSooo, with that said, here is just 2024. Not a resolution but just what I plan on doing. Less negative, more positive, less stagnation, more growth, less comparison, more productivity, less judgement, more love. π©·
Don't get me wrong, I definitely have goals I *want* to hit this new year, but I think we allllll need to give ourselves a little grace when it comes to that. Not achieving your goal THIS year does not equal failing. It just means that perhaps you aren't quite ready yet - and that. is. okay. π
What are some of your ideas, goals, resolutions, plans for 2024? β¬οΈπ¬
During my month-ish hiatus (unplanned, BTW), I did a lot of scrolling on Instagram - as one does - and thought to myself, "literally everything looks the EXACT same..." πββββββββββββββββββThere are very *few* accounts that actually stand out to me - and of course I'm going to tag them , , are three of my favorites to follow along with. Because they actually stand ππΌ out ππΌ
I've been looking at the hundreds of SMM accounts that follow me and it's always the same thing over, and over, and over.... grey/white/cream graphic, photo, grey/white/cream graphic, photo, and so on. And I am SO guilty, y'all. But I'm ready to leave that traditional/trendy/whatever-you-want-to-call-it behind and start doing what makes me happy and excited and feel creative!! π
I challenge you to do what you love, do what makes you happy, do what is FUN (because YES! You can enjoy work and enjoy life everyday!), do what inspires you, create what you want to see - not what everyone else is creating. π«
Brandy gave me the sweetest testimonial a while ago, and I *STILL* think about it every day π₯Ή
Does any of this sound like you? If so, message me! I'd love to chat with you about social media management or planning π₯°
Y'all, creating content for my *own* account has been put on the back burner for the last few weeks, I'm not even going to lie. I've been talking to my internet friend - - and I was telling her how drained I am after creating content for all my clients (that I don't even want to do it for myself). π« ββββββββββββββββββSo, I took the weekend, unplugged, and now I am feeling so inspired! ππΌ I sat down and started at the verryy beginning - how do I even create new content. And then that became content π
CTA's (call to actions) can be confusing - because one day they work, and the next day they don't.... and no one really knows why. These have been the *most* effective for me and those I follow. What's your favorite CTA, tell me below!! β¬οΈπ¬
The number one question I get from inquiring clients is this - How can I boost my growth?ββββββββββββββββββ99% of the time, people are looking for more. More followers, more engagement, more this, more that, etc. If you are asking this same question - here are some tips! π
Remember that more sometimes is not always better - it's about the quality, not the quantity. π«’
People aren't buying your service for funzies..... They are buying a solution to their problem!! ππΌββββββββββββββββββAsk yourself these questions:
β‘οΈ How is my ideal clients problem?
β‘οΈ What can I do to solve that problem?
β‘οΈ How will it help them?
β‘οΈ Can I do X differently?
β‘οΈ How can I word this to effectively communicate with my ideal client?

November. Is. Coming. π« HOW??!ββββββββββββββββββ
Anywho - before I go into a full blown rant about how this year has flown by and I can't believe we are two months away from 2024 - save this so you don't forget these important dates for November! ππΌ
If you are reading this - take 10 seconds. Put the phone down, look away from the computer, and take a deep breath. π€ββββββββββββββββββYou're doing a great job. Remember to also take time to close all those tabs you have up and running in your brain, too. π«ΆπΌ
Wait.... you mean I can support my favorite small/local business without spending a single dime?!βββββββββββββββββββ‘οΈ Yeppppp!! And it takes *literally* 4 seconds to do all four of these things π«ΆπΌπ€ͺ
Social Media Management - it isn't as cut and dry as you may think !! π΅βπ«ββββββββββββββββββSocial media is *a lot* more than just scrolling on Instagram for 3 hours a day and throwing up a post. The list does not stop here - I just ran out of room π€ͺ
I was just talking to someone yesterday about this - I told her that she got where she is because she stayed relevant. Relevancy is hard because what is relevant and what is not relevant changes everrry single day π« ββββββββββββββββββThe best way to stay relevant is to ask yourself these questions - Is it on brand? Will it start a conversation in my DMs or comments? Is it shareable content?

A message I PREACH constantly -βββββββββ
~ Create value (through engaging, shareable content)βββββββββ
~ Be consistent (posting every day doesn't necessarily mean consistency)
~ Be responsive (people want to be heard)
β‘οΈ Here is a comment I received on a recent post - these are all PIECES to the puzzle. Without these things, you won't see other things - like engagement, interaction, growth, etc. π
The best way to view social media (and strategy) is that there are infinite moving parts that having to be adjusted and changed every day. It will *NEVER* be perfect. But you have to show up and put in the effort either way ππΌ
Letβs clear some things up:βββββββββ
~ Posting consistently β strategyβββββββββ
~ Posting aesthetic pictures β strategy
~ Posting 4x a day β strategy
~ Responding to comments β strategy
You can do everything by the book (as far as social media goes), but having no strategy means you missed the mark π€·π»ββοΈ. You can be the most consistent, most responsive account on Instagram, but without a social media strategy, itβs all for nothing. π«’
...... Basics. AKA - the bare minimum. πββββββββββββββββββThese are things you should be doing on/for your social media pages No. Matter. What. ππΌ Trust me, they make a difference. Stay consistent, keep showing up, and your followers (and business) will thank you for it.
Happy Monday friends!! β¨ππ«ΆπΌββββββββββββββββββWho doesnβt love a nice, clean desk first thing on a Monday morning?! Especially when you hang a fresh new monthβs calendar - although itβs not pictured because I hung it after this π«£)
Seriously though - HOW is it October ?!?? I refuse to believe that we have 3 months left of 2023β¦β¦β¦. π
Anywho - Happy Monday. Happy October. Happy Fall/Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas (to those insane people who put up Christmas decor 3 months early) π«ΆπΌ

The beginning of a new year is symbolic of a lot of things - new start, new goals, new dreams, new to-dos, etc. but that shouldnβt come at the expense of your mental health π Taking breaks are okay - and actually encouraged !!! - because you canβt be your best and do your best if you donβt feel your best π©· Posting on socials isnβt *that* serious. Take the time you need and NO - your algorithm wonβt forget about you if you take a week off.

AND BOYYY DOES IT FEEL GOOD!!! ππΌππΌππΌ Yβall - itβs been a minute. First, I started to slow down due to none other than a creative block before Thanksgiving. Then I took the week off to spend with family and friends (and of course, shopping). THEN, I got hit with the worst sickness Iβve ever had. 8 days of the new thing going around (donβt even know what it isβ¦. Flu maybe?) And I finally got better, and then my boyfriend got sick, and of course, I got resick (but thankfully not as bad, just stuffy nose, cough, etc). So needless to say, itβs been a roller coaster ride for the last month-ish. π But, Iβm back. Iβm better than ever. And I am so excited for Christmas, New Years, and 2024. Lottsss of creative things in the works and Iβll leave you with this - get back to your roots π (iykyk and if you donβt, Iβll elaborate later)
