The TRUTH about hashtags 🫢

Hashtags are a controversial topic amongst social media managers… Some think they work, others think they’re a waste of time.

My opinion? The proof is in the numbers.

Today I’m sharing the analytics of two posts from the same client — one that included hashtags and one that didn’t. Swipe to see the difference 👀

Happy Sunday ✨ Here’s your reminder that you become what you affirm.

Affirmations allow us to consciously control our thoughts and overcome any self-sabotaging thoughts.

Today I’m thankful for all of the business opportunities that come my way — past, present, and future.

As a social media manager, I use every single one of these apps on a daily basis. Here’s a little bit about what they do for me:

❋ Canva: Without Canva, I’d be LOST. This is where I create all of my social media graphics for IG, Reels covers, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.

❋ Inshot: The ultimate video editing app. This is where I create all of my Reels, TikToks, IGTVS, and Youtube videos. It’s super inexpensive and easy to use.

❋ Milkshake: FREE and convenient platform for every Instagram business. An easy and customizable way to put external links in your bio.

❋ Unsplash: My favorite free stock photo website. Images for all different brand aesthetics!

❋ monday.com: My master social media calendar. Monday allows you to categorize, organize, and visualize all the tasks that need to be completed.

❋ Later: Social media scheduling tool. The best way to physically see what your feed will look like before posting. Auto-post to any platform.

REMINDER: Don’t let working from home become living at work. 👩🏻‍💻

If you work from home and struggle with setting boundaries for yourself — you’re not alone.

I’ve been working remotely ever since I entered the work force a little over three months ago, and in the beginning, my brain never shut off.

I would start working before 8 AM in hopes of finishing everything that wanted to accomplish earlier in the day. In reality, new tasks would get in the way, and my days only grew longer.

I was only able to start setting boundaries and fully separating my home and work life when I decided it was time for a change of scenery.

Whether it be going downstairs to my apartment lobby, to a local library, or coffee shop — leaving my small apartment has given me the ability to compartmentalize my life in a new way.

If you work from home, how do you flip the switch between work and home life? Do you have any tips for differentiating the two? 👇

If you put your branding on the back burner - you're doing it all wrong.

Your branding is evidently how you make yourself important to customers.

Not only does this drive your business, but it brings strong value to it. 💰

So, is your brand image clear and effective?

By using color psychology, you can leverage your brand and target your desired demographic.

Color psychology is the study of how different colors evoke emotions and feelings.

It's most important to consider how your brand color choices will affect others' mood and perception of your brand.
