First off, I offer my marketing thoughts of the week:

Marketing is actually simply a vehicle....whether it’s through email, social media, speaking, a book,  - it allows you to reach more people.  If you approach marketing with “I’m here to serve”  “I’m here to make a difference”, how will that affect how you show up and attract those who are searching for exactly what you can offer them?  

The sharing mindset allows you to follow the plan in a way that feels natural and generous.

"If social media is feeling forced and strained to you, consider if the way you are using it aligns with how you make natural connections in real life." - Lauren V. Davis

There was so much content this morning, it was a challenge to keep up. 

I highly recommend sitting through her presentation with pen and paper at hand.

Here are a few of the juiciest takeaways.

•  START with the 10-15 people who always show up to your posts and stories.
  
•  Get a clear idea of WHO is your audience?  Identify their Demographic, Geographic, Psychographic, and Behavior.
  
  
•  Numbers don't matter as much...especially if they aren't interacting with you.
  
  
•  The IG algorithm favors relationship - story interactions, meaningful conversations, consistency.....pictures together.
  
  
•  Using even just 1 hashtag on an IG post can increase views by 12%.

Ok - here's what to look for, too.
