SMMS #430 - Writing copy or simply structuring a post for your social media content isn't something that you can put no thought to. If there is no structure to the post you create then your post viewer will simply be left confused and therefore see no value in what they have just seen. That's why every post you create must have an element of storytelling within in order to increase the engagement factor.

That's why in today's episode of Social Media Marketing School I wanted to share the principles of good storytelling so that you are able to improve your storytelling as a social media content creator, increase content engagement and consequently increase the quality of your content overall.

I hope this episode of Social Media Marketing School provides you with some actionable tips so that you understand the principles of good storytelling so that you are able to increase content engagement and consequently increase the quality of your content overall.

SMMS #429 - When you're new to the agency, freelancing, consulting or any entrepreneurial field, understanding how to effectively price your product is something that many ponder upon for far too long. Should you charge an hourly rate? Should you charge a monthly retainer? Should you charge on a per-project basis? Most when starting out will opt for the hourly rate route. However, this is the only option you shouldn't be picking.

That's why in today's episode of Social Media Marketing School, I wanted to discuss why you should never be charging an hourly rate for your product or service and why if you do in fact do this, you are undervaluing the value of your service and time (and likely missing out on A LOT of money).

I hope this episode of Social Media Marketing School provides you with some actionable tips so that you are correctly able to price your product/service and ensure that you are charging your worth, being valued for your time, improving your client quality and increasing the revenue earned for your business.

What worked 6 months ago may not work any longer but because it used to be considered such a prominent piece of advice, people continue to share it because they're in denial of its demise.

SMMS #390 - We are all very aware that short-form video content is the content format to be created on social media at this moment in time. However, with there being so much competition it can be challenging to grab and retain attention for your content. The percentage watch time of your videos is one of the most important metrics as the algorithm looks at this as one of the biggest indicators of content performance.

That's why in today's Social Media Marketing School episode I wanted to share some of my top tips for maximising watch time on your video content so that you are able to increase your percentage watch time as much as possible. I hope this episode of Social Media Marketing School provides you with some actionable tips.

SMMS #388 - Recently Instagram announced a few new updates coming to the platform (some more significant than others) and I thought the Social Media Marketing School podcast would be a great place to discuss them.

SMMS #386 - One of the main reasons a creator on social media will not post video content, is because they simply don't feel comfortable on camera. When I first started recording video content, I too felt incredibly uncomfortable. However, it's now one of my favourite types of content to produce.

That's why on today's Social Media Marketing School episode I wanted to share some of my top tips for increasing your confidence on camera so that you are able to improve the quality of the video content you produce for social media (especially when TikToks and Instagram Reels are so important with the algorithm today).

SMMS #384 - When you're scrolling through social media nowadays it seems that almost everyone who has put time and effort into building their brands have grown their followings above 10,000 followers. Some of those will go on to reach 50,000 and 100,000 followers. But very few will push through to exceed the 1,000,000 follower mark.

That's because there are some very key characteristics and qualities that creators with over 1,000,000 possess that allow them to achieve this milestone. That's why in today's Social Media Marketing School episode I wanted to teach you how creators with 1,000,000+ followers have built their audiences on social media!
