Social Media Decoded

Staying on top of the constant changes for Social Media can be DRAINING ... but that's where I come in!

I make it my duty friend to keep you informed of the latest changes so you can stay on top of your social media.

The head of Instagram recently came out and said that they are testing some changes to your Instagram feed. They will be rolling out 3 new feed options. Home, following, and favorites.

Join me as I get into what each of these feed changes will look like and how they will work.

The market is saturated — as business owners and influencers, it isn't anything new. 

So the million-dollar question is, HOW TO STAND OUT! 

I share some of the tips and secrets that I use when working with brands and the messaging that I use to help propel my business. HINT: it isn't always about being the one who posts the most or who has more followers!

The number of times I have heard people say that Facebook is dead for business...well let's just say I would have a REAL nice car.

The issue when it comes to Facebook is the fact that EVERYONE is trying to do the same things. The same marketing strategy has all of us scrambling to be seen in the crowd BUT there is still a way!! 

I share some secrets on how I used my personal Facebook profile to gain new clients and why you should be using it as your "business" page! 

This isn't an episode that you're going to want to miss out on.
