A Little Bit of Content: Tips for small business owners

↓

Let's look at some quick Instagram Story tips

The nice weather and long weekend means I'm trying to step away from my desk more often this weekend but we will see. Anyone else? I just want to put out my patio furniture!

In the meantime, this week I'm sharing something that comes up over and over again - let me know if you are surprised by any of these tips or are excited to use them!

Instagram Stories: 2 Tips

The first tip: Did you know that when you share a feed post or Reel from an account to your stories, that account won't necessarily get notified or be able to share it to their story? Instead, you may want to TAG or list them in the story mentions.

That way they can see you've shared it, read your comments if there are any, and may choose to share it in their own stories via the 'add to stories' button.

There is at least ONE other way they can see if you share their post and not tag them...which leads us to...

The second tip: If you want to SEE who shared your post and may not have tagged you, you can look at public reshares by going to the post, selecting the three dots, then looking for 'view story reshares'.

This will show you who reshared it within the past 24 hours only (and only if they have a public account.) This is helpful if you find a post is gaining momentum and want to see if shares seem to be helping or if you want to have a further conversation.

That's it - two simple things you may not have known about for stories.

I'm now off to eat some chocolate. Reply to this email to let me know if you have questions about Instagram Stories OR what your fave chocolate is ;)

We need to rethink content and social media. Less can be more, when it's done right. If you are stressed out and overwhelmed from content creation I want to help you develop a content strategy that works for you by focusing on message clarity, time-saving steps and intentional content planning.

The content, marketing, business and life newsletter Do you have a strategy for pitching to be a guest on other people's content? Getting in front of new audiences, as a guest blogger, podcast expert, speaker at an event etc, is such a great part of our content planning. Recently, I was a guest on the What She Said podcast and radio show with Candace Sampson. I was chatting about PEI! A favourite family travel destination of ours (I'm actually there right now as this email is sent). With that...

The content, marketing, business and life newsletter We are consuming too much content and it's affecting how we create our own. Yes, I also think we are creating too much but that's a story for another day. When it comes to consuming, we are scrolling and searching and spending time 'researching' when really, some of that time can be spend doing. The truth is, and I know this because I do it myself, there's only so much we need to consume. It's different when we engage and reply and build...

The content, marketing, business and life newsletter The summer might look different for your business. Not only are your clients or customers changing their habits and how they spend their time, but you may be changing your schedule too. For those of us with kids out of daycare or school, we begin an interesting balance between getting stuff done for our business while also crafting, playing, travelling with our families (or driving teens to and from events). My best advice as we head into...
