soooo much misinformation about this EVERYWHERE so here i am letting you know: we actually know nothing (YET) 🤷🏼‍♀️

What i recommend: PREPARE ANYWAY 🐐

It might not happen tho! 🤞 we live in wild times.

Send this to your friends so they can prepare. 🥰

This is another reminder to not JUST rely on ONE platform or outlet for your marketing— and if you do not have the bandwidth to expand, hire someone who can help! 

ALSO maybe make this the year you prioritize your newsletter 💌

Let me know in the comments what you think 👇

what you know 🔍

what you dont know 🥴

or just some words of encouragement 🫂

and don’t forget we are literally all in this together (even tho there’s a lot of meanies on the web) I certainly am here standing with you.

You can not only use these templates to spark deeper conversations via captions

Think bigger:

Add them to that carousel you’ve been planning.
Use them in your stories with a poll / question sticker (adjust as needed)
Turn them into prompts for people to respond to your newsletter.
Use them for more meaningful discussions in your Facebook group.

The possibilities? Kinda endless.

Save these templates as a starting point. 

Because here’s what I know after years of this:

When you ask questions that resonate, you create content that connects 🫂.
And isn’t that the whole point?

I’m curious:
Which format gets the most responses for you?

IG is ROLLING out the updates lately 👀

I wanted to share a couple of important ones you may have missed!

Stories are so much easier to create on a whim as you can share what you’re doing in real time, and feel much less “permanent”. This is likely why most of us are using stories more often than posting to the feed.

These new fonts have been in testing for quite some time but should be rolling out to most accounts now.

👉I’m super curious on how y’all feel about story comments!

Let me know what you think about either of these in the comments 💭

If you’re someone who struggles with consistency on instagram, IG stories is such a great place to start to build that muscle. ✨

It’s also a lot easier to show up on stories since they disappear after 24 hours vs a feed post that may feel a bit more permanent. 🩵

Not to mention it’s typically much easier to post a story vs create a post.

Some of this terminology can be confusing when looking at story analytics, so this post should help!

I’m curious if you are more of a feed scroller or story watcher when you use Instagram? 👀

Meta quietly rolled this out, this only ‘limits’ content from people you DON’T follow already but is automatically set to do so. 👀

If you are interested in seeing content on social issues or political issues in your feed from people you don’t follow, you can adjust your settings by following the instructions in this post.

I wanted to post about this because things are getting more and more heated on many topics in the realm of social issues and a lot of you who follow me speak on what could be lumped into the ‘social issues’ bucket. 

—However what is considered a ‘social issue’ is pretty vague according to what I’ve found down my rabbit holes researching for this post.

A lot of my clients speak on what could be in a ‘social issues’ bucket and are still ‘eligible for recommendation’.  

Also ‘reach’ in general is ‘down’ across the board. This is for many reasons! It’s also summer please keep that in mind— more vacations, more fun, more outside activities, less screen time (yay for society!)! ☺️

ALSO people may just not be engaging to protect their own mental health. 

Hope you are all taking care of your mental health!!! 🫂

Let me know what you think of this in the comments 💭

and if any of your friends speak on social issues, please share this with them!!
