Y’all, we gotta talk about the ish that’s been happening lately. Facebook is removing fact checkers, TikTok…whatever, and we’re not even touching the Instagram changes yet. Social media can feel like a dumpster fire lately. I’ve been saying it for a while, but lately, it feels more accurate than ever. So what do we do? How do we move our business forward and market ourselves when it feels like the platforms we’ve used for the past 15+ years are stacked against us and maybe, depending on your identity or politics, feel like they’re stacked against our values? I see you. This is a solid reminder that social media is rented space. So this week, we’re discussing ways to promote your business if you’re having qualms with some of the social activities of late. Values matter, and it’s okay if you want to take time away from these spaces on the internet - I promise your business won’t fail. Episode Highlights: Discussion on recent changes in Facebook's policies and their business implications. Importance of diversifying marketing strategies beyond social media. Tips for building in-person connections and leveraging email marketing. Personal anecdotes about fostering local community engagement. Value of owned marketing assets like websites and email lists.

We’re all inspired by content. However, imagine how it feels to create something, only to see someone else create something that feels… like the same content that you put out there. I saw a comment on threads recently that inspired this, about how a woman had gone viral with a reel, and a few days later, someone took her reel, and caption and basically put out the same thing and also… went viral. The copy cat, had more followers (by tens of thousands), and the thread I saw was like, “if you’ve amassed that much of a following, why would you feel the need to copy others? How are you lacking originality?” This week, we’re talking about just that. The pitfalls of plagiarizing and strategies to use the content that inspires you and your competitor research to inspire your own unique brand content without being a copycat. Let’s cultivate our own authentic and engaging online presences without yanking content from the FYP or Explore tab. In a world saturated with content, your unique voice is your strongest asset. By avoiding the temptation to copy competitors and instead focusing on carving out your own niche, you can build stronger relationships with your audience, foster trust, and set the stage for long-term success. Remember, authenticity isn't just a buzzword—it's a powerful strategy for sustainable growth. Key Points The negative impacts of copying competitors' content.

Let’s get a little personal. What did your online journey first look like? When did you join social media? In this episode, I’m sharing a little bit about my chapter in We Lead: Community, Connections, and Collaboration . It’s a little nostalgic and shares some of my earliest experiences with writing and struggling through self-doubt during college. I talk about how my lifelong love for storytelling and writing has now culminated in her contribution to the collaborative book series "We Lead." It’s a little bit professional, and also a love story - and sharing how my love of social media and content marketing led to various career opportunities. From my early days with LiveJournal and Facebook to working for marketing agencies, I’m sharing some invaluable lessons learned along the way. But the biggest lesson of all, is my chapter: that business success doesn't correlate with having 10,000 followers, but rather with building an engaged and authentic community with an emphasis on consistency, authenticity, and the value of focusing on meaningful connections rather than vanity metrics. For all marketing professionals, small business owners, and aspiring content creators, this episode is a treasure trove of encouragement and practical tips on how to grow and succeed in the digital world. Episode Highlights: We’re introducing We Lead - a collaborative book about connection, community, collaboration, and business.

Have you ever wondered about the magic behind those top search results when you type "XYZ near me"? Spoiler alert: It's all about those Google Reviews! I was recently in a committee meeting for my local business association and we were talking about to how to highlight members. “Could we ask them to share reviews with us and then we share them on social media?” This stopped me in my tracks because what good is that? We should be encouraging people to leave Google reviews of our member businesses. I had to remind the committee members (all lovely, incredible business people) that the value of a Google Business Review is much higher than us sharing it around our social media profiles. This week, we’re diving into the WHY of Google Reviews, and how to incorporate them in a non-icky way in your social media strategy. Episode Highlights: Importance of Google reviews for local SEO and online reputation. Strategies to capture Google reviews without feeling pushy. Significance of responding to both positive and negative reviews. How to leverage customer reviews for social media content. The correlation between the number of reviews and local search visibility.
