Do y'all remember back in the day (I’m talking 2015 ish), you could just take the same exact post with a link to your website and just… push it out through your scheduling tool?!?!?! Those were definitely simpler times!

I hosted a workshop last week for social media managers and during the presentation, I was talking about the impact of a good mentor. Naturally, I talked about Afton, who is the first mentor I ever hired.

Ya'll... I was tearing up talking about the impact Afton has had on my business! In a workshop that I've taught numerous times before I was getting emotional.

THAT is how important the right mentor is for you. The right mentor makes all the difference. I wouldn't be where I am today without the lessons I learned from her.

This picture is from the first time we met in person in 2015 at an event called Haste and Hustle where we got to see Gary Vee live (tap for the blurry picture I took home as a souvenir).

If you haven't hired a mentor yet, here's your sign to seek one out. You won't regret it!

Happy Pride Month!

The celebration of human rights and civil liberties is one that should be a given…

... and yet, it’s moments like this -- a celebration of those who are a part of the LGTBQIA+ community -- that are a stark reminder that while our society has made progress, there’s still lots of work to be done.

It truly takes a collective effort to change the treatment and perspectives of marginalized groups in our world.

Today, I want to share a few ways I’m choosing change and being intentional with the language I use.

I’ve been committing to making a conscious effort to be respectful with the words I say.

For example, I’ve mostly replaced say “hey guys” with “hi friends” instead. I like how welcoming it is to invite conversation this way.

I’ve also replaced “that’s crazy” with “that’s intense” or “that’s wild” instead.

If you’re in the Savvy Social School, we recently released a very in depth guide on how you too can make the necessary changes to respect those in your communities and we continued the conversation on socially inclusive language in a coaching call last week.

If you’re not in the School, now’s the time to join us!

Whatever your value systems are in your business, social media should reflect that.

There's a lot of cancel culture happening on social media right now. There are a lot of people being called out. There's a lot of people making statements about things where you go, "Do they really believe this? Or they're just saying something because they want to say something?"

Here's how I like to think about it: If I have a service-based business and I don't really need that many clients and I'm just on social media trying to show my expertise and my personality and what it's like working with me, that's really just a reflection of what's happening in my business at the time.

So, if you're going to make a statement - like if something's happening in the news - you want that to come from what's already happening internally in my business.

If it's not something that was a conversation with a team or you talked about it internally first, there's no reason to say, "Let's have a statement on social media." It's showcasing something that's inauthentic.

Lead with your values on social media. That's how you bring authenticity to your message and make those genuine connections.

Then, when something comes up you do want to make a statement about, you're not scrambling to come up with something, the values are already in place.

📣 NEW PODCAST EPISODE 📣

Entrepreneurs often get stuck with creating content randomly and not seeing any real results, so in an effort to solve this problem they create “content buckets” or rotate between a handful of content types. 

While that’s a step forward, it still doesn’t solve the problem of endlessly creating content that never moves the needle forward. You’ve just given them labels. 

So how do you really make sure that the social media content you create grows your audience and your business? I’m sharing a more effective way to think about content creation.

Last week I had the pleasure of hosting a virtual morning coffee chat with the members of my Thrive Mentorship Program.

I love connecting with these talented individuals! We shared ideas and chatted about who inspires us online. It was a fantastic way to start my day.

I highly recommend virtual hangouts like this while we're in limbo waiting for live events to start up again. We may have even discussed potentially meeting up in person somewhere down the road. After being quarantined for well over a year, I'm craving in-person connections!

I challenge you to hang out with someone in your network virtually. Make that connection. Slide into a DM. What do you have to lose?

As an online business owner I’m always making video content and helping clients with their content creation, so I love to test out new business tools and upgrade my office!

So, what’s all the buzz about with the @lumecube Lighting Kit? Let’s find out!

I’m unboxing my new Lume Cube Mobile Creator Lighting Kit and sharing my first impression, how to put it together, and if I think it’s an investment worth making for your business or not.

Every time you click play on a YouTube tutorial or a product review video, you’re increasing engagement for someone else’s business. The good news is, you can boost your own business by sharing your own videos with quality content.  I know making videos can sound overwhelming, so if you’re still on the fence about adding videos to your marketing strategy, listen in as I dig into the data about how powerful video really is in 2020!

Matt Johnson shares the power of narrowing your niche, how to create impact with a small audience, why he focuses on only one social media channel, and how the “no new content” strategy can create the engagement you’re looking for!

2020 has tested how every business connects with clients, and social media has proven itself as a reliable and impactful resource over and over again.  Want to make sure you’re leveraging social media in the most meaningful way possible? Learn the 4 stages of my Social Media Success Framework to improve your social media strategy now!

When’s the last time you had a genuine conversation on social media? What does it feel like to have real engagement instead of just a like or a follow? Nikki Rausch breaks down how to treat social media as a conversation, the power of asking specific questions on social media, how to convert engagement into sales, and why saying goodbye to some people means welcoming those who are truly ready to work with you!

Systemic racism is real. Thankfully, there are daily actions we can all do with just a little more intention and practice to help create the change we need. Alethea Cheng Fitzpatrick discusses what diversity, equity, and inclusion means for digital businesses, why self-awareness is crucial to changing systemic racism, how to co-create space for your community to share experiences, the power of asking “tell me more” and how to have necessary conversations so we can keep moving forward together!
