Spring and Q2: Embracing Fresh Starts and Inspiration
Social updates that will make you happy, advice on buying new tech,
Social 🆙dates!
Make sure you are removing all watermarks when re-posting to socials. The crackdown has begun. Sometimes, I simply use a sticker to cover up the watermark… but they still know, lol. That does seem to help so try out both things and see what works best for you.
YouTube is positively PUSHING shorts AND podcasts!! It even has it’s own podcast tab. Also be sure to pre-schedule live broadcasts as YouTube has added “notify me” for most users.
Multiple links in your Instagram bio has been rolled out YAY!! Go to your profile - edit profile - tap links - add external link!
Loads of editing updates have been added to Instagram to encourage you to use the app to do your editing. The algo will reward you so try it out! Not only that we have more insights data so use that to your advantage.
Google shared their recommended practices for ranking higher (SEO)… three of the easiest things for you to do…
alt text and caption EVERY image on your website and using a keyword or two even better
links should be keyword rich in anchor text (“anchor text” are the highlighted words that lead to a link, see below for an example)
INTERNAL links as well as EXTERNAL - you want the reader to be able to navigate quickly and easily around your website
Are you making this mistake in your social media marketing?
It’s a #keepinitreal kind of blog post. I KNOW this stuff isn’t easy. But I also know? YOU CAN DO IT!
Literally while I’m finishing this up, one of my dear clients (you know who you are 😜) just texted to say they got over 2300 views on their TikTok. They’ve been getting a few hundred as the norm so we. are. excited.
So, what is she doing differently?
Consistently posting short form video, using great keywords, being damn brave, that’s what.
I’m so haaaaapppyyyyy! You can do this, too. I KNOW IT.
My podcast rebrand is happening since my tech issues are still being fixed, I decided to move up the rebrand and 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕔𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝔾𝗣𝕊 will return mid-May I’m so excited. By the way for anyone who’s local, I have found a FABULOUS Apple computer expert and he’s helping me SO MUCH. Tap that link if you need help.
↓And please, please for the love of all that is good…↓
DO NOT BUY COMPUTERS THIRD PARTY unless is it from Apple or similar.
I ONLY buy refurbished from Apple. I inherited an iMac from my sister who passed away last year. I took it to Chris because it was so slow even after I had done a complete factory reset. When he opened it, almost none of the insides were actually Apple gear. 😳 AND the cables were put back so shoddily AND it wasn’t securely tapped so TONS of dust was inside. 😔 She was 100% taken.
I know they will get the karma they deserved but now I know why she was always calling me to help her with her iMac which was a 2019! It should have been a beast and lasted for years. Instead, we are trashing it. I hope this very sad story helps you or someone you know looking on Craigs List or eBay or FB marketplace. ALL DAY THIS IS A NO. #rantover
Now for some happy news!
I am partnering with Create It Company (#disclosure - I will receive a commission if you purchase) and I am so freaking excited I can’t stand it! I will be sharing how I use the physical AND digital planner in the coming days. Kim Doyal is an incredible marketing expert, product and course designer AND I adore her.
I have long admired her and now so very happy to be a part of her team. ⚡️
OK! Have a most fabulous and wonderful week and PLEASE ask me any questions you have!
See you out in the socials!
