Social Dragon Marketing

02/01/2022

10 years ago I met a group of people who make up my inner circle. So grateful for them as we continue to help each other, be there for each other, listen to each other and experience the journey of entrepreneurship together.

I'm blessed to continue to experience the knowledge and growth from amazing mentors. I so appreciate my team, colleagues and clients everyday.

10 years I became the Dragon way before Games of Thrones was invented.

10 years ago today I started a little business called Social Dragon Marketing.

Thank you to all the people in my life who support me in so many ways, lift me up when I have my moments of overwhelm and frustrations and there with me through the good and the bad.

Here's to another 10 years!

When you're busy working and the cat decides it's time to cuddle, you take a time out and enjoy the snuggle.

What do you think of the new name?

Facebook's new name is 'META!' ∞

The company's apps and brand names stay the same. But, the 'new North Star' is to help 'bring the metaverse to life.' The company will be 'metaverse-first, not Facebook-first.'

What do you think?!

Lots of possibilities, like:
Meta Verse
Meta Apps
Meta AI
Meta Avatar
Meta Humans?! 🤪

Mark Zuckerberg just announced this change on the Connect 2021 live streaming event and his founders letter - excerpt:

❝From now on, we will be metaverse-first, not Facebook-first. That means that over time you won't need a Facebook account to use our other services. As our new brand starts showing up in our products, I hope people around the world come to know the Meta brand and the future we stand for.

I used to study Classics, and the word "meta" comes from the Greek word meaning "beyond". For me, it symbolizes that there is always more to build, and there is always a next chapter to the story. Ours is a story that started in a dorm room and grew beyond anything we imagined; into a family of apps that people use to connect with one another, to find their voice, and to start businesses, communities, and movements that have changed the world.❞

This is very exciting news! If you don't have the link sticker yet, just update your Instagram and it should work.

Instagram announced on Wednesday that all users now have access to its Link Sticker feature in Instagram Stories. The expansion comes as the company recently ditched the “swipe-up” link in Instagram Stories in favor of the new Link Stickers. Both the previous “swipe-up” link and new Link Sti...

If you or your business page has been hacked on Facebook, this is a must read!

If you've ever had your Facebook account hacked - or your business Page, Business Manager or Ad Account hacked - help is at hand!! 👋🏻 Check out this MEGA blog post I just published after my own Business Manager got hacked! Whaaaat?! 😳 Yep, couldn't believe it. https://www.marismith.com/facebook-hacked-help/

There's a lot you can do to SECURE and protect your accounts. And, it is possible to get help and get your Facebook back. With my own hacking incident, the scammers somehow added themselves to my Business Manager, demoted me and my Admins, and promptly started running scam ads. Thankfully, the Facebook AI caught the shenanigans in time and shut down my ad account before any money was spent.

Scammers got in to my friend Molly Mahoney's Business Manager and ran up $20k of scam ads! 😫 Yikes. Fortunately she got most all of that back quickly, but she's still dealing with the aftermath. Adryenn Ashley had a very similar situation and the hackers took control of her page and started posting junk videos. The list goes on. It blows my mind how much nefarious activity - just in the hacking arena - happens on Facebook with no accountability. 😢

I was fortunate to regain control of my Business Manager and Ad Account within 48 hours. But this is somewhat rare. As you likely know, Facebook is not known for its customer support and it's practically impossible for most users to speak with a human. So, I've put a ton of research into this mega post with steps and solutions to help regain control of your accounts and to hopefully prevent any hacking incidents from ever happening (again)!!

Please do share this with anyone in your community that might benefit and certainly folks dealing with hacking issues. Thank you! 🙏🏻🥰

How did you like yesterday? 😟

When sites are down especially, Facebook and Instagram, I love heading to Twitter. Everyone is there. Check out these fun replies to Twitter's tweet. I loved the interaction Twitter had with McDonald's. 🤣
