Unlocking Engagement: How Do You Get People to Interact with Your Posts? 🧲

You’ve crafted a post you’re proud of, but the silence on the other end is… deafening. We’ve all been there. Boosting engagement isn’t just about pretty visuals; it’s about creating genuine connections.

So why not try sharing a day in your life.. a look behind the scenes today.

You could use stories to help show bits of your day or do a montage of clips from your day in a reel.

Or just a photo with a story to go with it.

Let me know if you try it out!

When you love the people around you and you love what you do… 💥

22/08/2023

🌟 So, the other day I was chatting with a friend over some much-needed coffee ☕, and she confided in me, “Helen, I poured my heart into this post on my page, and all I got were crickets! 🦗 Why isn’t anyone engaging?”

Ah, that all-too-familiar sting! 😖 😸 Yep, been there, felt the silence. But here's the tea: getting engagement isn't just about cute cat photobombs or the perfect filter.

1️⃣ It's Like a Coffee Chat - Imagine you're sitting across from your follower. You wouldn’t just talk at them, right? You’d ask them how their day was or what they’re passionate about. So, next time, try asking your audience something about THEM!

2️⃣ Ditch the Mask - Remember when I shared my reel when I was camping ? (Yeah, chaos 🙈) It's about being REAL. Imperfections make you relatable!

3️⃣ Open Up the Floor - Instead of just telling my story, I started asking, “What about YOU?” Open-ended questions = magic. 🌟

4️⃣ Fun Features - Oh, those cheeky Instagram polls? When I asked, "Coffee or Tea?" So. Much. Fun. Plus, I got to know you all a little better! ☕🍵

5️⃣ Gifts of gratitude - Whether it's a life hack, a fun fact, or just a smile, I aim to give you something every time we "chat".

I get it, pals. It feels a bit gutting when your posts tumble into the social media abyss. But I promise, with a sprinkle of strategy and a whole lot of heart, you'll feel that community love! 💕

Thinking, "Helen, I need more of this chat!"? Drop into my DMs or keep an eye out for our workshops. Let’s turn those crickets into a chorus! 🎵

Now, spill: what’s your biggest social media headache? Let’s tackle it together! 💪👇

🔍 **Which Social Media Platform is Most Successful?** 🔍

Ah, the age-old question every business asks!

Don’t get hung up on this… there isn't a one-size-fits-all answer.

Success on social media depends on your target audience, your content, and your objectives. 🎯

🧠 **Why do people ask this?**

Most want a straightforward path to success.

They hope there’s a magical platform where their audience is waiting, eager for their content. And while some platforms *might* be better suited for certain industries, it's about more than just picking a platform.

🛠 **How can you use this knowledge for your business?**

1. **Know Your Audience**: Are they young, tech-savvy folks? TikTok or Instagram might be your jam.

Professionals? LinkedIn could be the golden ticket . 🌟

2. **Align with Your Content Type**:

Love making videos? IG Reels, YouTube or TikTok.

More into written words and images? Perhaps Facebook or Pinterest. 📌

3. **Set Clear Goals**:

Are you aiming for brand awareness, website clicks, sales, or engagement?

Your goals might dictate your platform and content strategy. 📈

**But here's the B O N U S :**

🔥📣 Want to start posting more for your business? Here's your SIMPLE ACTION FOR TODAY:

📌 Make a commitment to your social media! Consistency is key 🗝️, but remember, it doesn't have to be a daily grind.

🚫⛔ Jumping into the social media game isn't a leisurely stroll. Dip in, then ghost? Nah, that’s not the strategy.

🤓💡 Trust me, it takes about 8-12 months to really vibe with your audience and find that sweet spot.

📝👀 So jot it down... Commit to posting on a schedule that feels right for you.

Keep following this week for actions to take, see how I do it and how you can create content for your own business.

1️⃣ Make A Commitment - Consistency is key in the world of social media. Make a plan, stick to it, and remember that growth takes time. - That doesn't mean you have to post every day, just decide how often you are comfortable posting and aim to stick to it.

2️⃣ Show Off Your Personality - Your brand's personality sets you apart. Don't be afraid to let it shine through your posts. Authenticity attracts!

Let's have some real talk, friends. 🌟

We often put so much pressure on ourselves to show up EVERYWHERE - in our personal lives, social media, workplaces...you name it.

But here's a little secret: showing up daily doesn't mean you have to be perfect.

Your glass doesn't have to be brimming with water every day. Sometimes, you might not even have a glass - and that's perfectly okay!

Life is beautifully imperfect, and sometimes, less is indeed more.

How are you showing up today?

I think it's time for a quick introduction.

Hello I'm Helen from Lifestyle & Smiles and if you're new here then here are 3 things you might not know about about me:

1. 🧑‍🎨 I love getting creative and supporting others with their social media especially small business owners. Being from Staffordshire the 'Creative County' means I get to be around so many local creative businesses and inspiring people. 🥰

2. 🐶 If you see me locally out and about I'm normally walking with my dog, Walter the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Walking is my way of relaxing and also keeping active. Being outdoors in the fields and woods are my happy places, and I often come up with great ideas 💡when I'm surrounded by nature.

3. 👩‍🏫 In all the jobs I've done over the past 25 or so years I've aways had a teaching or mentoring role. Seeing others achieve their goals 🏆gives me great satisfaction and I'm always willing to cheer you on or give support where needed. - I find it so much easier and fulfilling to shout about others success 🤩 rather than blow my own trumpet .. 🤗

So if you're looking for ways to develop your creative online content or someone to help grow your small business social media platforms - Here I am!

Drop me a little hello in the comments and follow to keep in touch.

Both periodontitis 🦷and cardiovascular 🫀 diseases are common, widely spread, chronic non-communicable diseases, whose prevalence increases with age.

🧪🔬There is scientific evidence of associations between the two forms of disease and periodontitis is associated with an increased risk of acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, and stroke.

There are common lifestyle factors that aggravate both periodontitis and cardiovascular disease – such as smoking, stress, obesity, diabetes, and an unhealthy diet.

The early diagnosis, prevention, and co-management (by dental professionals and physicians) of both CVD and periodontitis is of the utmost importance.

The Perio & Cardio project provides guidelines that explain the links between these two diseases and the steps that should be taken by oral-healthcare professionals, medical professionals and pharmacists, and patients and the public.

Mondays are for…

Mouthwash?

‘What mouthwash should I use?’

It’s one of the most common questions I get asked as a Dental Hygienist. 🦷

There are so many brands and types of mouthwash and it’s often confusing😵‍💫when you are faced with a wall of bottles all claiming to be the best mouthwash EVER.

Firstly let me say- ❌ᴍᴏᴜᴛʜᴡᴀsʜ ɪs NOT ᴀ SUBSTITUTE ғᴏʀ ʙʀᴜsʜɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴛᴇᴇᴛʜ!🪥

If you are not effectively removing plaque from your teeth and gums, mouthwash will not be as effective as it could be. 😮

🪥Take time to brush, and interdental clean. Don’t rush, don’t try and brush as fast as you can, 2 mins really isn’t a long time but makes a massive difference to your oral health.

Then when you are brushing effectively, you could consider a mouthwash to supplement your routine.

🗣Talk to a dental professional like me to get a personal recommendation that would be relevant to your own mouth.

I just had to share this little gem.. 💎

I’m part of a great fitness group with the super lovely Trish who has been giving us simple ideas and tips to improve our health, fitness and wellbeing. 🏃‍♀️🍏😊

One of those tips that I totally had to share with you

Balance while you brush:

🪥While you brush your teeth, alternate standing on one leg as you switch mouth quadrants (every 30 seconds).

🦷Brushing for 2 minutes improves your oral health and reduces the risk of dental disease.

🦩Balancing develops your core muscles and keeps your brain healthy too 🧠

😂Just take care not to fall with the brush in your mouth!!

What simple things do you incorporate into daily routines to improve your health?

☺️Goodbye September, it’s been a month of mixed emotions.

The very sad passing of our Queen Elizabeth II 👑has dominated our thoughts in the UK🇬🇧 and the welcoming of our new King. King Charles III

The sombre mood is always lightened by our funny dog Walter, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel 🐶already thinks he’s royalty but now even more so and is quite happy wearing a crown 😂

It’s also been a month of shows and family events. The start of the month to celebrate Liv passing all of her GCSE exams we finally got to see Hamilton in the West End, the most impressive performance I’ve seen so far. Ending the month with Blood Brothers bringing tears to our eyes once again.

My Dad turned 80 although I still can’t believe it.. we celebrated with a family meal and are off the races this weekend to celebrate again. Dad loves the horse racing even if he only puts a £1 bet on 😂 I just love my Dad.

Oh and we only went and booked tickets to see the Arctic Monkeys … 🙉🙊🙈 top marks for not trying 😉

Looking forward to October 🍁🍂🎃👻🇺🇸 🛳🎢

I’ve had quite a few messages recently asking if I still do the whitening toothpaste.
The simple answer is Yes I do! 😊

What I haven’t been doing is telling you all about it on social media so thought I’d better update you.

There are so many great toothpastes out there, sometimes you just don’t know which one to choose.

In reality I often recommend a variety of toothpastes depending on the individual need of the person.

If you would like to learn more about improving your dental health, I provide bespoke professional advice on a 1:1 basis bookable on request.

As for Toothpaste.. here are a few of my personal favourites

🩸For gum disease - Colgate periogard or oral b sensitive and gum care

❄️🥶Sensitive - sensodyne rapid relief or Colgate pro relief or rengenerate

☕️🍷Stain removal / stain prevention- Nuskin AP24 - it’s the only one I’ve found to work for me ⭐️

🦷🪥General toothpaste - decay prevention- any containing 1500ppm fluoride

Whatever you do use - the most important thing is to brush effectively , twice a day for 2 mins and then to clean interdentally with correctly sized interdental brushes.

Toothpaste and personalised oral hygiene kits are also available to buy on request 🪥🦷⭐️

When was the last time you failed at something? We all fail at things everyday. It may only be a little fail, like overcooking the broccoli 🥦- soggy greens are gross 🤢
Or if could be way more spectacular fail like dropping your child off at school in full princess 👑 fancy dress and getting the dress up day wrong.
- yes I’ve done both and my daughter still hasn’t got over it.

Let’s not be so hard on ourselves for failing. Really we should be celebrating it as much as our wins.

In fact we have started having that conversation around our dinner table, ‘What have you failed at today?’
It’s far more fun than asking how was your day, getting the same old answers- yeah it was fine, or it was busy, or not much happened.. 😵‍💫

We are normalising failure and actually having a laugh at our fails and how we have learned from them. We also have way more to talk about 🤣

So why not share a few of our fails and let’s learn a bit about each other! Your fails may be the reason why you can teach others new skills or to share your learning to help others overcome similar circumstances.

Failure is normal! 🙌👏
Share your fails from today!

🔥Thoughts become things🦩

You may have read or listened to the Secret by Rhonda Byrne, Basically in its most simple terms is about positivity and mindset and how many people all over the world have used these techniques to manifest their greatest desires.
All a bit woo woo for you? 🤨

If thoughts really do become things what would you manifest?🔥

I totally believe that we can achieve the things we truly put our minds to, but it doesn't just happen by magic. 🪄

🤩 You do have to put in some, if not plenty of effort to achieve them.

Back in 2016 I promised my daughter Olivia that I would take her to Florida, 🎢 Disney World for her 10th birthday. 🎂 At the time I was a single mum, living in a rented house and not in the greatest state of mind after going through a number of stressful personal circumstances. All of my money was disappearing on bills, food and fuel and not much left to have fun with. I knew things had to change and I knew I had the capability to be earning way more money and should be looking after myself more and planning for our futures.

📝 The piece of paper I wrote on and stuck to our fridge said... We ARE going to Florida for Olivias 10th birthday!! 🎂🎢

🪜 First steps were to take control of my finances by clearly setting up budgets and payment plans and I then bit the bullet and booked the holiday. Pretty scared at that time that I wouldn't be able to pay for it. 🤑

I was already working as an Organisational Development Manager but I made every single day my aim to get a promotion, sending out my revamped CV with cover letters all over the place. After the disappointing unanswered applications a call finally 📲 came in from an agency. They wanted a learning and development specialist as a consultant and they said I had all the right skills and experience they were looking for. Would I be interested?

The saying, 'does a bear poo in the woods?' 🐻💩 sprang to mind but I managed to keep my cool and kindly accept a further interview with the company, 😊

Cutting out lots of the in between bits, security, financial checks, and paperwork... I got the job as an organisational development consultant and I LOVED IT. 😍

I paid for the holiday within a couple of months and we went to Florida. It was a massive thing for both of us. Not only did I manage to keep my promise, Liv saw how I had set my mind to achieve the goal, and I was incredibly proud that I could travel so far on my own with her.

The happy tears on our first day to the Magic Kingdom.. that feeling is unforgettable. 😘😎

🤔 Was it manifesting? I would say so but it was also a lot of determination to achieve it.

So I ask you again. If thoughts really do become things, what would you manifest if you could?

🏡We had just moved house and changed schools 🏫 which meant I would have been feeling a little unsettled. Although, I was a confident kid 🧒 so I probably didn’t mind being the new girl and making new friends. I quite enjoyed the attention 🤩

😊The school was tiny compared to my previous one, with only a handful of children in each class so we had two years mixed together. We had those lovely old wooden flip top desks where I could store all my pens and stationary. 🖋📚

Mr Rawson encouraged us, let us be children but also gave us responsibilities. We had rotating jobs each week and I remember my favourite being ringing the school bell for break times. 🔔

He made our classes lots of fun even the dreaded mental maths sessions flew by as I knew we had some badminton lessons to look forward to. So many great memories in those two years, I felt like I’d always been part of that school and so welcome.

Tell me about your favourite teacher.. 🤩👨‍🏫
