For the love of All! Thank you for making the username Point #1. And may I add, use the same username across platforms! I know this is hard if youʻre just starting, but there are tricks you can use to append your possibly, already-taken name to make it unique.

Secondly, the reason you reply to everyone with a REAL COMMENT is because you are wanting to build relationships! If you were at a party, and someone walked up to you and gave you a compliment, would you just turn and walk away or barely nod your head (which is what a "like" is)? I certainly hope not!

Apologies for the rant, but I've been teaching it since 2005. Kinda outta patience, 😂

Thank you for this great post - I'm going to take lots of action from this :) And another vote here for the thing about making social pages landing pages...do you mean creating IG posts that go at the top inside categories type shenanigans?

Expand full comment

It was my absolute pleasure. Ah yes! This type of thing for sure, utilizing a combo of highlights, pinning & evergreen content to make it set it and (mostly) forget it

Sounds great - I’m gratefully and enthusiastically looking forward to any tips you’re able to share on that front.

Same question as others. I feel kind of clueless that I read the most important point and then had a Schitts Creek "Just fold in the cheese--what does that mean???" moment, so I would love an explanation. Thank you!

Omg that scene <3 ahh yes I will absolutely make this

these are great tips! the 15 mins a day is one i need to remember — all about those small incremental steps leading to big rewards. 1% is better than nothing!

Expand full comment

Yesssss consistency compounds it truly does, and engaging is the best part. I save reading our dms and comments for my lil midday treat when I'm tired. Combine it with my second cup of coffee and its the best boost.
