A beautiful quote from "The Mountain is You" by Brianna Wiest:

"Not everything you lose is a loss.
Some things are a freedom.
Some things are a second chance.
Some things are a miracle in disguise.
Some things are a detachment long-needed, a clarity brought to blurry eyes.
Some things are an intervention.
Some things are the unexpected answer to a long-chanted prayer.
Some things are a healing.
Some things are a becoming.
Some things are planned long before you ever came to be.
Some things are a devastation, but others are a kind of vital guidance, the kind of course-correction you did not even know you needed.
The kind you did not even realize you were asking for all along."

🚀 YouTube Shorts 101: Quick Facts for Social Media Newbies 🚀

1. YouTube Shorts Algorithm: It's pretty similar to the long-form video algorithm. The big diff? Shorts play automatically while you scroll, unlike long videos. So, the way viewers engage with them is different.

2. What's a View? No fixed time required! Views depend on user engagement. With different Shorts lengths and speedy scrolling, YouTube's still figuring out the ideal view standard.

3. Short Length: Make it as long as needed to tell your story. Longer Shorts? Unlikely, as YouTube wants to stick to 60 seconds or less.

4. Custom Thumbnails: Nope, you can't upload a custom image. You can pick a frame from your video. This isn't likely to change. YouTube suggests making more videos instead.

5. Posting Time: It doesn't affect Shorts' performance, except for breaking news content. That should be posted pronto for max audience interest.

6. Delete and Repost? Nope, don't do it! Duplicate uploads might look like spam to the algorithm.

👉 Are you using YouTube Shorts? Let's chat and strategize how it can help your business. I offer a free Zoom call! 😊

Interesting news from Facebook....You can now create multiple personal profiles so that you can address the different groups/interests/audiences that all go into making up the many facets that are YOU! For instance, if you're a foodie, you can have a profile for that, if you are a reader, you can have an audience/profile for that. Why? you may ask....would I ever want to be on Facebook MORE???? Trust me, I feel your pain. However, after experimenting with this I see the advantage. Really, this is just a way to organize your experience. We are flooded with ads and superfluous posts about things we are not interested in and often miss the things that matter to US also you can separate out feeds with friends and family if your business and F&F often overlap on your personal profile which can be a sticky issue. Here is the scoop

Creating multiple personal profiles lets you easily organize who you share with and what content you see for the various parts of your life.

Scribblrgirls is all grown up......Once Upon a Time.....an out of work professional woman who was for the most part alone with her daughter had an idea....

I started scribblrgirls from my bedroom in Fredericksburg, Texas. It was just by happenstance. There were no Facebook Business Pages per se at that time, no ads, no Instagram, no Canva or ChatGPT. It was me and a computer and my love for stories. My confidence was pretty low, my skills were elusive. I was called to Wildseed Farms to do a press release for $100 . I almost cancelled the appointment, it seemed daunting. My daughter said , "you always tell me to try everything that might be an opportunity and not to be scared. So....what are you doing? " Our children recall our words to make us accountable. I went.

Touched by the story of the rice farmer who saw a field and decided to plant acres of beautiful wildflowers and bluebonnets , remembering a father who kind of did the same (beauty out of barenness), I took a chance and offered to tell their story on social media (I had no idea how to do anything beyond a post) I offered to market them on Facebook. The rest is history.

So scribblrgirls has been my baby-it took me through nights waiting for Macy to come in and share her wonderful high school years, Macy leaving for college, an income when we were down to just hopes and dreams, a very rough divorce....A move to NYC where I found "my people"....It brought (brings) wonderful people into my life and it gave me a boost with a little media attention and validation every once-in-awhile .

It was, and is, a tremendous challenge and something that was and is all mine when there wasn't much that was "mine" left. It's never been an enterprise-often not lucrative. After my divorce and just starting in NyC, I lost all of my clients but one. Some were tied to my old life, with progress, It happens that way sometimes. But I hung in and referrals came. It took me all over Europe and gave me a purpose.

I am still Scribblrgirl at heart but it's a complicated name (misspelled because I thought it was cute) and difficult to link to me -the brand. I've decided to tweak the name. I want a more straightforward -"this is who I am, this is what I do." To be honest, I didn't use my name the first time because I was terrified to put myself out there. I preferred the anonymity. Now it's just me --Melanie-and I am still..... marketing. So there you have it.....

I'm telling you this so that you might remember your origin story. I see the lights go on with clients --successful clients, leaders in their space. But even with their success, they have lost the "remember how I started" passion and it's a thrill to remind them of all they bring to the overwhelming landscape of too many platforms. With all of the Algorithms, graphics and content in general, it is easy to lose yourself-to forget that beyond the posting there is YOU! Your story, your expertise, your successes, the lessons from your failures. There is something that CHATGPT and Canva can never convey--that is YOU and your story and your "realness"

Never forget that when you're creating content. It's the real heart of your business.

Thanks for all of your support over the years. Get ready for more tips, more straightforward uncomplicated resources and more stories ....
❤️still your scribblrgirl, Melanie
