Previous Episode

Writing Well on Facebook & Instagram

This episode is for you if you want to know how to go about finding the best words for your social media post captions AND how to get the best engagement and traction with the dreaded algorithms.

Today is Part 1 in a 2-part mini-series on social media writing.

This episode looks at writing captions for Instagram and Facebook, specifically organic posts not paid for advertising (that’s for another podcast, another day!)

How are they similar and how do they differ?

As we move into 2023, the trend is moving towards the need to produce quality content rather than quantity. Gone are the days when you can bung up multiple random pictures with rushed words and hope for the best. Careful thought needs to go into your social media marketing execution. And that includes the words!

We’re talking about 3 things today:

Writing Goals
Ingredients of a good caption
Systems for managing your FB & Insta content ideas

Next Episode

Writing Well on LinkedIn

We do not profess to be LinkedIn ninjas but this deep dive episode is a must-listen for any individual or business owner looking to leverage the power of LinkedIn.

In this LinkedIn podcast special, Ella & Minnie discuss why you might bother leveraging LinkedIn

Is your audience hanging out there?
Are you looking for new work? It’s the best place to be for new jobs and new leads. Recruiters search on the platform and many companies advertise jobs there too. So even if you use it as a shop window to showcase what you have done/can do then it is important to be there.
Also, LinkedIn offers the opportunity to showcase your ideas - you can include articles that your audience will find useful, and it builds trust and credibility.

We discuss the many places on LinkedIn to sell yourself and raise your profile. Our own research into the platform has led us to the realisation that we personally aren’t giving LinkedIn the attention it deserves. It is an excellent platform to build your professional network and generate business leads. We reveal how you can, with us, maximise the opportunities available. If you aren’t on LinkedIn you probably should be and we’ll tell you why.

Cracking Copy hosts Minnie McBride and Ella Hoyos give you our top tips for writing on the platform, how to grow your following and unlock the potential of LinkedIn for you and your business.
