==============================
And….. Where was I?
Ah yes, Sunday!
But first:
=======================================
Ever wake up one morning and realize that your entire self-worth was based upon the number of Instagram likes your posts received?
It’s actually not such a far fetch concept either – one only has to check out:
www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/model-quitting-social-real-body
www.businessinsider.com/i-quit-instagram-for-a-week-2019-4
Heck, even
www.insider.com/celebrities-who-quit-social-media-twitter-2018-8
can show some of the rather insidious effects of attaching one’s self-image to social media platforms that are replete with tweebleheads who only want to insult others to make their own personal drama less hurtful.
Well, this just showed up:
www.business2community.com/instagram/your-instagram-like-count-might-be-removed-now-what-02234746
along with this insight:
“…Kaitlyn Tiffany says that there are concerns for the income of influencers on Instagram. For instance, Elle pointed out that brands care much more about hiring influencers with high engagement rates on their posts than they do about follower count. Marketing blogger Charles Tumotto Jackson argued that influencers should simply rely more on Instagram Stories with its swipe-up feature. This change does make it harder to become a new influencer, as the swipe-up feature is only available to accounts with over 10,000 followers. So, if you are a micro-influencer, you might have a problem.
Brian Fanzo says it is all about trust: “Instagram is forcing people to decide who they trust and what content they truly care about. If you are shown which of your friends like a piece of content as opposed to how many people like it, you have to make a choice as to how much that content (or that person) resonates with you.” As a result, Fanzo does not see a problem for micro-influencers as they have loyal and trustworthy followers. Signs of trust and connection can be found in story replies, sales, anonymous Q&As, and polls….”
So for whatever reason, such a thingee might be coming down the road.
And what will the effect be?
A very good question indeed!
But think about it as well….
“Likes” can translate into “dollars” for companies who are willing to pay via this metric.
In the future, perhaps companies can provide “royalties” if customers come from particular influencers.
But in any case…
… turning on a dime is a very wise action indeed!
You could even create a cheatsheet about this like so:
Step 1.) Learn all about Instagram hashtags
Step 2.) Take advantage of the best instagram apps out there to create the kind of content that is shared
Step 3.) Remember – it’s a business and not a hobby (if you want to profit from it!)
Resources for the above include:
buffer.com/resources/best-instagram-apps-for-marketers
blog.hootsuite.com/how-to-make-money-on-instagram/
Your takeaway?
If your likes start to disappear…. fear not.
Turn on a dime instead and build up an audience that chooses to follow you because of what you provide… and not what their friends say to do instead.
Enjoy!
========================= ==============
And….. Where was I?
Ah yes!
It’s Sunday!
Decent day was Saturday kinda sorta maybe a little bit and then massive smooshies.
First, I *did* get to bike for 50 minutes (yay!) and then the gym for 30 minutes (yay!):
and then my right ankle decided to stop working (not yay whatsoever!).
Then I came home, and found out that the early college one of my kids went to…
… had a horrible incident. I wrote about it:
“Apparently for the past 3 weeks, the N word was written in public student union spaces.
Not much was done.
And yesterday at 2:30pm, an African American girl was dragged off a path at 2:30pm in the afternoon and stabbed. She is recovering.
Apparently it was ONLY after that, that there was a higher police presence at the campus itself.
And yet, there are some folks who are saying, no, its not a racial incident/hate crime, its a crime of someone deeply mentally ill who has lots of issues.
I don’t get it. Colleges (especially early colleges, where the kids are ‘way younger than normal colleges) should be a safe place.
Then again, I suppose if an amoral person wants to destroy lives, focusing on the younger lives is ‘way easier.
I hope the true attacker is caught and he is thrown into a jail where he is the minority and has the experience of Epstein-level security.”
Racism is horrible (especially in this day and age!!).
I ache for that kid who was attacked in broad daylight (and as its an early college – the kids there are only ages 15 to 18).
So disgusting. 🙁
I’m monitoring the situation and will keep y’all apprised.

Don’t forget yesterdays:
==============================
And….. Where was I?
Ah yes, Saturday!
But first:
=======================================
Ever hear of that “real” business network called ‘LinkedIn’?
Instead of the dinky little fishbowl of Internet marketing that lots of us inhabit….
…. LinkedIn is a place where you can meet fellow business owners who are willing to pay far more for your services than the typical W+/JVzoo crowd.
Thing is… there are Good Ways to go about LinkedIn…
… and ReallyReallyReallyBad Ways to do the same!
Luckily, tools have come into the LinkedIn market place which can help speed up your life *greatly*.
blog.lempod.com/linkedin-marketing-tools/
has a wonderful article about not 1, not 2 but 7(!) LinkedIn Tools that can help you manage your LinkedIn Activities… and ensure you’re getting the most out of this rather remarkable platform.
Some of the tools covered are:
Crello (image posting!)
Loom (video creation!)
Buffer (LinkedIn articles posting – i love buffer, it’s a critical component to successful LinkedIn marketing)
and more!
LinkedIn truly is a place where serious business folk should start using. You could even break that down into a cheatsheet like so:
Step 1.) Peruse the Beginners LinkedIn tutorials and get prepared
Step 2.) Optimize your LinkedIn Profile/presence
Step 3.) Unleash yourself upon LinkedIn!
Resources for the above include:
www.linkedin.com/learning/subscription/paid
www.linkedin.com/pulse/linkedin-beginner-all-star-8-easy-steps-clifford-wessel/
www.quicksprout.com/linkedin-connections/
Your takeaway?
LinkedIn is an excellent platform to share your business goodness…

and more!
And yesterday?
Well!
First… that battery issue? Turns out that battery acid was leaking (wheeeee!).
Had the car towed to the repair shop (more wheeeee!).
Then got a call from one of my kids who was saying that our health plan was canceled (no it wasnt) and …
Wheeeee!
Kids. Sigh.
Didn’t get to the gym alas, but ideally will do so tomorrow.
Your takeaway from this perkup?
Don’t play around with battery acid. It’s just Not Good.
A very powerful lesson indeed.
