Does writing content for your brand’s social media channels stress you out? Here’s a hot tip! 🗓️ Write your month’s content a month AHEAD of time. Sounds like a lot of work – we know – but we promise it’s worth it. Here’s why: ✍🏼 You can plan out themes, promotions, important messages, etc., in an organized matter. ✍🏼 You can look for special social media days that speak to your brand (think #NationalRelaxationDay) and get involved in the conversation. ✍🏼 You’ll have more time to rework and revise your messaging to make sure only high-quality content is shared. ✍🏼 You’ll be able to schedule content ahead of time making sharing SO easy (if you use a scheduling tool or are scheduling directly in a channel like Facebook). Of course, you’ll need to be nimble enough to make changes to reflect current news and events. Not sure where to start or how to organize your messaging? We recommend checking out @thecontentplanner to help get you started! Need more backup? Let’s connect and see how we can help your business effectively communicate and grow online! Link in bio.

#DYK that 75% of podcast listeners are tuning in to learn new things? If you or your brand can offer unique insights to your audience, a weekly, bi-weekly and/or even a monthly podcast might be worth considering. Podcasts are a great way to engage followers and attract a wider audience as you serve another market. If you don’t want to start your own podcast, think about how you could collaborate as a guest on a show with like-minded values and listeners.

If you’re not creating carousel posts – you’re missing out! 🎠 Carousel posts are the easiest way to increase your #engagement by simply adding as little as one extra graphic/image. How? 🤔 Well, if someone gets caught up in their scroll and breezes past your post without interacting, it’ll show up again on their #feed featuring the next picture in the carousel. Simple and effective – just the way we like it!
