Think of it this way: would you invite someone to your birthday who didn’t invite you to theirs? Or would you call or text someone who never responds or messages you? Probably not. ⁣
If you’re not supporting other people’s pages they won’t support yours. Just liking isn’t enough, show people you genuinely care about what they have to say and what they do. I LOVE when people comment on my posts telling me that what I had to say helped them or that it was interesting. Makes my whole day. Want people to share your posts? Share other people’s. Be supportive and you’ll be supported! ⁣
It’s hard to keep up with all of this and can be very overwhelming. 𝘿𝙈 𝙢𝙚 𝙞𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙙𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙧 𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙮 𝙗𝙞𝙤 𝙩𝙤 𝙞𝙣𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧!

When starting my business I struggled with creating branding that both reflected me and was aesthetically pleasing to my target audience. All the other SMM and brand managers who started their journey when I did seemed to have white backgrounds with similar cursive fonts and lots of flowers or other super feminine designs (there is nothing wrong with that, i’s just not me). ⁣
I, however, am slightly more feisty than that. I wanted big rushing waves, bolder colors, skulls and I wanted to sound like myself and say things like jazzy and rad. ⁣
I did not see immediate success with my page and I began to doubt my brand and started to question If I should adopt these elements and succumb to using Canva templates as is and saying hey babe like everyone one else.⁣

Why would I want to present myself in a way that isn’t authentic to me? Clients choose to work with me because I am different, I am edgy and I don’t think like everyone else. ⁣

𝙈𝙮 𝙥𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨? I am not telling you to ignore trends or popular themes in your niche. What I am telling you to do is to not be afraid to be different and authentic to you because you will attract clients that don’t have the same vibe or beliefs as you do otherwise.

That being said here are this weeks trends:⁣
✨Seamless Surrealism- combining different elements to create outlandish situations similar to Frank Moth’s work (I love his work)⁣
✨Authentic Representations- people have begun to diversify classics by putting unique people in classic situations⁣
✨Irreverent Characters- animals wearing clothing and food coming to life, the more outrageous the better ⁣
