Do keeping up with social media news + platform updates Reader?

I think it's fun to learn about all the new features + changes, but it doesn't often change my core social media strategies. (Those are determined by my social media goals + what my ideal clients are saying.)

Whether you're handling your social media yourself or have a team to do it for you, here are a few things I want to share:

  1. Metricool's newsletter is a cute little roundup of platform updates. It's super detailed! Scroll down to "Past Newsletters" to see some samples.
    ​
  2. ​Savvy Social School's The Feed* is a private podcast that curates social media news in super short episodes.
    ​
  3. Watch this video πŸ‘€ My client shares a simple shift in perspective that can help sooo many more people (+ completely transform your business!)
    ​
  4. Here's a checklist of things to do before hiring a Social Media Manager I made for you. It's useful whether you're ready to hire someone now or want a system to DIY your social.

That's it for now! I hope one of these gives you a quick win or a shot of inspiration to get your week going.

#fangirlallday,
Mary

I diggg nerding out with an astrology or Human Design-curious baby -- -- but I don't like to assume things about a person based on a category.

THE FANGIRL FORUM Hand up if networking events make you sweat Reader πŸ™‹ A new life coach friend was telling me about his latest offer: a men's retreat in the Colorado mountains. Me: "Are you using social videos in your pre-launch?" Him: "I'll get my son/daughter/child/nibling to do it. They're young + get TikTok." Me: Sometimes I get caught off guard when a fellow business owner nonchalantly disregards social media + content ✨strategy✨ Here are some of my favorite eye-twitching misconceptions...

THE FANGIRL FORUM The powers of evil Construction delays turned a 3-month fitness studio launch with clear tasks + milestones into a 7-month marathon that couldn't grow momentum. We sold out of founding memberships in 1 weekend--yay! πŸŽ‰ But construction delayed opening by 3 months. And we struggled to build on our community's excitement. Boo! πŸ‘Ž When we met with our FB ads manager, the owner said she'd already spent $10,000 on marketing + hadn't had a full class in 2 weeks. She meant me + my...
