Yes, I’m the social media manager who forgets to take pictures for herself. 🫠

So here’s today’s photo shoot compilation of outtakes featuring my accidental “selfies” in mirrors, reflections, and tiny corners of the frame.

Social media content done right. Happy Monday!

I work hard on your social accounts so I can buy myself fun things like this. 🐶

This is the kind of result you get when you treat organic social like relationship building, not a sales funnel.

I met Christa of C Rollock Photography over a year ago when I was on a panel for the Fort Bend Regional Partnership Social Power Hour. We connected on LinkedIn that same day, and since then, she has stayed consistent in posting her work, especially her professional headshots, and she has regularly engaged with my posts in a way that felt genuine and natural.

She never sent me a spammy message or pushed her services on me. She simply showed up, stayed visible, and built a real connection over time.

A few weeks ago, one of my clients asked if I knew a photographer for headshots, and Christa was the first person that came to mind. That is exactly how organic social works when it’s done well.

Create a genuine connection, nurture it through meaningful interaction, and when someone needs what you offer, they already know who you are and what you do.

We ended up meeting for coffee last week, the first time we met in person since the panel. It turns out we have a lot more in common than just LinkedIn, and I know we’ll keep meeting up to talk business, decaf coffee, tea, AI, and everything else that comes up.

Organic social is the long game, but it is also how you build real trust and leave a lasting impression.

If the words reflect someone’s true beliefs and values, does it matter if AI helped write them?

A content creator I really like recently shared a statement raising awareness about Tourette’s, and it was so obviously written by AI. It devalued what she put out, at least for me.

Maybe it shouldn't have, I'm sure it did gather her actual thoughts and feelings, but it wasn't her voice.

As someone who uses AI regularly, I was a little taken aback by my own reaction. AI helps me brainstorm, outline, and refine ideas. I’m not against it.
Still, something shifted in how I received that post.

It made me think about this question: If the words reflect someone’s true beliefs and values, does it matter if AI helped write them?

Should knowing it was AI-assisted change how we value it? For me, in that moment, it did.

It felt polished and correct, but not personal. It sounded like something that could have been written for anyone. Maybe that reaction is unfair. Maybe this is just part of how communication is evolving. But in organic social, voice carries weight. The phrasing, the rhythm, the small imperfections. Those are often the parts that make something feel lived-in instead of generated.

I’m truly curious how others feel about this. If you can tell something was written by AI, does it change how you receive it?

“Are people really watching video on LinkedIn?”

I’ve had multiple clients ask this recently, and the short answer is: absolutely yes!

My clients who consistently include video in their content mix see higher reach and engagement in the weeks they post video compared to the weeks they don’t.

And you don’t have to take my word for it. LinkedIn itself has made it clear that video continues to be a key part of how content performs on the platform.

This was recently addressed in an article from their VP of Product Management: “Video is a key part of LinkedIn’s content ecosystem… Through video, we’re unlocking access to shared experiences and wisdom from other professionals…”

They also highlighted what top-performing videos consistently do:
• Include a strong text hook
• Burn in captions
• Use engaging visuals or b-roll

If you’ve been questioning whether video belongs in your LinkedIn strategy, the data and the platform direction both say yes.

Same prompt. Different AI.

None of these responses are ready-to-post “hooks.” But they do spark ideas that can turn into strong content when used thoughtfully.

Below are my thoughts.

Claude

Great ideas. Questionable information.

I like the angle of posting an unpopular industry opinion, a personal lesson, or a thoughtful insight. Those are strong organic strategies.

What I didn’t like? Some of the supporting information was completely made up.

If someone copied and pasted that directly into a post, they’d be misleading their audience. My next step with Claude would be to provide real examples or ask for actual resources and cited best practices. AI can be helpful, but it still needs oversight.

ChatGPT

This one hit a different nerve.

ChatGPT is the tool I’ve used the most, and one thing I’ve noticed across industries is that it leans heavily into pain points.

“You’re doing this wrong.”
“Here’s what you’re missing.”
“Why this strategy is failing.”

That approach works well in paid ads and has a place in organic social media, but it shouldn’t be the ONLY approach.

For organic social media, I don’t want every post to be about what someone is doing wrong. Not every piece of content needs to diagnose a problem.

That said, I appreciate that ChatGPT didn’t invent random data or present fake statistics. That matters, especially for anyone tempted to copy and paste without reviewing.

For me, Claude wins this round for idea generation in organic social, which is meant to educate, engage, and build trust over time.

The real takeaway?
AI is a tool. Not a strategy. And definitely not a replacement for judgment.

Co-working is one of my favorite ways to work. Especially when it’s at a cute place with great food!

Yesterday, Grace and I worked from The Ginger Mule and had a great conversation that sparked new ideas!

Any other go-to spots we need to try for our next co-working session?!

*pats self on back*

Fathom says I’m a “Mission Commander,” and honestly… I’ll take it. 😅

I’m big on leaving meetings with a simple plan and action items that actually get done.

If your meetings feel like a loop lately, try this: end the call with 3 bullet points, decisions, owners, next step.

What’s one thing you wish happened in every meeting?
