Sharing that viral post on social media is all fun and games until the lawyers start calling!

You Don’t Have To Post 10 Times A Day
Let’s talk about a myth that’s been disguising itself as social media advice: The more you post, the faster you’ll grow on social media. I’m here to tell you it’s not true.

I’m Saying Goodbye to X (formerly known as Twitter)
It’s official! I’m leaving X (formerly known as Twitter) behind, and I’m not looking back! Twitter has such a special place in my heart. It’s where I used to spend tons of time scrolling through the tea and topics around my interests. It’s even where I met my first business mentor. But sometimes, hanging on to the memories of the good times can’t overshadow just how bad things are today. And bad might be an understatement when it comes to the current state of X (does anybody hate that name as

The Ultimate Content Repurposing Hack
The days of copying and pasting content from one platform to another are long gone.

Why Instagram Reels Isn’t That Far Behind TikTok

Which Social Media Platform Is Right For Your Business?

Why Social Media Is Not Easy
The good old days of posting whatever you want to every single platform are over. Now social media has turned into something more complicated. It’s turned into something that we feel almost forced to do if we want to stay relevant. That’s a big reason why people have such a hard time putting the fun back into social. But just because social media isn’t easy anymore or as fun as it used to be, doesn’t mean it isn’t awesome! Especially if you are a founder who wants to connect with your audience
Why I’m Leaving Teachable

Is It Time To Quit Twitter?
Is it time for your business to give up on Twitter? That’s a question that makes sense given the wild wide ride Elon Musk is taking a platform once known as one of the greatest places on the web for community and connection. But the answer isn’t so simple. While Twitter has changed a lot since Musk took over (mostly for the worse), the little blue bird hasn’t flown away just yet.

4 Social Media Experiments I’m Trying This Year
If social media has taught us anything over these last two years (thanks, TikTok), it’s this. If you get stuck doing what used to work, the only guarantee is that you’ll stay stuck.
