😂 “Maybe if your marketing had more memes… it wouldn’t be so flippin boring!”

Let’s be honest—so many small businesses post the equivalent of beige wallpaper content. 😬

✅ Your audience wants to laugh, relate, or stop scrolling for a second.
✅ You can still stick to your brand voice, mission, and messaging—no need to become the next viral TikTok sensation.
✅ Memes = engagement, attention, and sometimes, actual business leads.

💡 Porch Tip: A well-placed funny meme can turn crickets into comments, shares, and DM inquiries.

Darcee, Ricky, & I promise—your business can be both professional AND fun. Even Eric can be funny (sometimes at his own expense). 😅

Likes are nice… but they don’t pay the bills.

If you really want more reach on Instagram right now, here’s the metric you should care about:
👉 “Sends per reach”

That’s how often people share your post in DMs compared to how many people saw it.

And according to Instagram’s head, this is one of the STRONGEST signals for getting your content pushed out further.

Think about it…
A like is easy.
A scroll is easier.
But when someone sends your post to a friend?
That means they stopped and said:
👉 “You’ve gotta see this.”

Front porch truth:
If your content isn’t getting shared… it’s probably not hitting hard enough.
(Not trying to be mean… just honest. Eric needed to hear this too 😅)

So how do you actually get more shares?
Try this:
😂 Relatable moments: “POV: You walk into a New Orleans restaurant and say you’re ‘just getting a salad’…”
💡 Helpful tips: “3 things to check before you waste money boosting a post”
👀 Call someone out (nicely): “Tag a business owner who still thinks posting once a month is enough”
🗣️ Conversation starters: “Be honest—do you read captions or just look at the pictures?”

The goal?
Make someone think of a SPECIFIC person they want to send your post to.

That’s how you grow now.

📬 Instagram just gave your DMs a glow-up!

Custom folders + new filters = less chaos, more closed deals 💰

✅ Sort by Unread, Story Replies, or Verified users
✅ Create your own folders like “Collabs,” “Customer Qs,” or even “Ricky’s Snacks”
✅ Actually find that message from 3 weeks ago 👀

😬 Heads up: Custom folders are rolling out mostly for Professional accounts. If you don’t see it yet, it’s coming!

💡 Pro Tip: Use the “Unanswered” tab weekly. That’s where your leads are hiding.

📩 DM us if your inbox feels like a lost sock drawer — we can help you organize, prioritize, and close more business.

Back on January 19th, X did something rare…
They actually shared how their algorithm works.
Problem is — they shared the code. 😵‍💫

So unless you speak fluent programmer, it was useless.

Thankfully, someone named Bark translated it into normal human language. Here’s what it means for small business owners 👇
🐶 1. Reply to your comments (SERIOUSLY)
X values a comment + your reply 75x more than a like.
If people comment and you ignore them? You’re killing your own reach.
🔗 2. Links hurt your post
X wants people to stay on X.
Put links in your bio or pinned post — not the main post.
👀 3. Watch time is EVERYTHING
If people scroll past, the algo moves on.
Threads, strong hooks, and video work because they slow people down.
🎯 4. Stay in your lane
X groups you by topic.
If you post about everything under the sun, the algo doesn’t know who to show you to — so it shows you to no one.
🚫 5. Blocks & mutes matter
Be opinionated, yes.
Be annoying? Not so much.

TLDR:
Talk to your audience.
Reply to people.
Post content people actually want to stick around for.

💬 Comment “X” if you use it
💬 Comment “CONFUSED” if this finally made sense

And if you want help turning X into something that actually helps your business:

Eric used to post links nonstop.
Eric has learned. 😬

🎥 Bluesky just added a video tab to profiles—and small business owners, this is your chance.

Now you can showcase your products, demos, or behind-the-scenes clips all in one spot. No more burying your best content in endless posts! 😎

💡 Porch Tip: Videos drive engagement faster than static posts—so why not let potential customers see what you do best?

Darcee & I are still figuring out TikTok, Reels, AND Bluesky… but Ricky says it’s worth it. 😅

😂 “Only 7 hours, 55 minutes, & 35 YEARS until I’m done with work!”

If you’re a small business owner trying to manage social media on top of everything else… yeah. We feel this.

📌 Posting, replying, checking insights, chasing trends… it never ends.

💡 Porch Tip: Social media marketing doesn’t take a lunch break, and neither does the rest of running your business.

And since Ricky is only 3 and already extremely demanding, Darcee & I will most likely never stop working. 😅

🧷 NEW TOOL ALERT: You can now pin your own comments on Instagram!

Yes, FINALLY. We’ve been yelling this into the void for years. 😅

Why should this matter for your business?

📌 Pinning your comment lets you:
– Drop updates without editing your post
– Highlight a call to action (“Click the link in bio!”)
– Clarify promos, product details, or FAQs
– Show off some brand personality 💁‍♀️

Think of it as bonus real estate at the top of your post—YOU control the conversation.

💡 Porch Tip: Pin a thoughtful reply to a top comment. It boosts visibility and engagement.

👇 So, what would you pin first?
DM us if you want help making your comments (and content) work harder.

🚨 YouTube just made Shorts… longer.

Back on October 15th, YouTube rolled out updates letting creators make Shorts up to 3 minutes long.

Yes. Longer. Shorts. Which feels… slightly weird, because isn’t that what regular YouTube videos are for? 😅

Other updates include:
✅ Taller video formats for easier viewing
✅ New editing tools to get creative
✅ Expanded music options to make your content pop

💡 Porch Talk:

For small businesses in New Orleans, this is more than a trend—it’s an opportunity. Longer, richer Shorts mean you can:
✔️ Tell better stories
✔️ Showcase products in more detail
✔️ Engage your audience without losing the “snappy” Short vibe

The question is: Are you ready to adapt? Or will you keep posting 15-second clips and hope for miracles?

💬 Thoughts? Are you excited to try longer Shorts?

Stop scrolling… it’s your business calling! 🎥😆

If you’re posting content but not showing your face, here’s the problem: people aren’t stopping.
According to a recent study by Emplifi, videos with human faces and voices boost retention by almost 25%!
That means people are actually watching longer—and that’s what drives engagement.

So how can a small business make this funny and approachable?
😂 Example 1 – The “Oops, That’s Me” Video:
Show yourself trying to demonstrate a product… and fail hilariously. Eric once tried to show a “perfect latte pour” on Instagram and ended up with more coffee on the counter than in the cup. People loved it. Face + laugh = engagement.

😂 Example 2 – “Behind-the-Scenes Chaos”:
Show your team in real life doing something relatable—maybe Darcee’s toddler Ricky “helping” stock the shelves or messing up a display. Talk through it like a mini story. Real faces, real voices, real funny moments.

Front porch truth:
People connect with humans, not logos. Even a 20-second clip of your team chatting, laughing, or goofing around can outperform perfectly edited, silent videos.

STOP THE SCROLL — because 1.7 seconds is all you get. 🚨

Research shows the average person decides almost instantly whether they’ll keep looking at a post — sometimes in about 1.7 seconds on a mobile feed. That’s faster than your coffee cools down.

So what actually stops thumbs from swiping?
🎣 Hook ‘em in the first 1–3 seconds — bold questions, surprising facts, or curiosity starters grab attention fast.
👀 Put big, easy-to-read visuals first. People process visuals thousands of times faster than text.
📹 Short, punchy videos beat boring ones. Quick visuals + clear message = engagement.
🔥 Lead with benefit or emotion — make them feel something right away.
If you want people to stop scrolling for your content, you have to give them a reason before they swipe past it.

💬 Comment STOP if you want a scroll-stopping hook idea for your business!

Darcee swears by big text. Eric still tries fancy fonts first. 🤦‍♂️
