Are you looking for a quick content idea for today?

Here are some significant World Days from the October Key Dates Calendar (comment KEY DATES below if you'd like a free copy).

October 10 2024 is

INCLUSION DAY - it is a day to celebrate the inclusion of everyone, no matter their ability, background, age, race, religion, gender or other differences. It's about making sure all are accepted, welcomed and treated fairly.

WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY - a day to bring attention to mental health and wellbeing. Good mental health is important in all areas of our lives. It is also a day to be aware that everyone goes through mental health issues, and to remove the stigma in seeking support. This year's theme is 'Let's Talk About It'.

WORLD PORRIDGE DAY - it's not just about your love for porridge! This day is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of nutrition and access to it. World Porridge Day was originally established by Mary's Meals in 2009, a Scottish charity that feeds over a million children in 19 countries around the world.

WORLD HOMELESS DAY - the aim is to raise awareness about the people experiencing homelessness and to find ways to support them in our local communities. According to the ABS 2021 there was a 5.2% increase in homelessness since 2016 in Australia. Women over 55 are the fastest growing group of homeless Australians, and 37 % of homeless people are under 25 years old.

WORLD SIGHT DAY - This day is all about the importance of good eye health. This year the focus is on eye care in young people, and creating a world where eye health becomes accessible for everyone.

Choose the day that aligns the most with your values (hard I know they're all so important). And spread the message to your followers. Write a post, share a carousel or infographic showing statistics, create a reel of how you're raising awareness.

These are a few ideas how you can incorporate Key Dates into your content, and help make a change in the world at the same time.

Tell me which one you chose! Even better tag me in your post so I can check it out.

Love this feedback following my presentation on how to Master Your Social Media yesterday at a women’s networking group.

So many questions and lots of interaction too, it always surprises me how much knowledge I have to share!

I often forget that just because I know this stuff, not everyone does.

So next time you’re questioning whether you should share something you know, remember someone out there is waiting to hear it, from you.

And if you’re keen to learn more about mastering your own social media let’s chat and see how I can help.

Happy 1st of July!

Who can believe the first half of 2024 has been and gone, and with it the end of the financial year! If you haven't been showing up as much as you'd like today is your second chance, almost as good as starting the new year again.

I see you there, thinking that today's no different to any other day struggling to think of content. But this day is totally different because you're seeing this post 😄

Sooo what can you post today? Here's some inspiration to get you going...

Monday - happy new financial year! Here's what I've got coming up this month .... and wow your audience with a special offer, an event or your latest range of products.

Tuesday - share a behind the scenes reel. It doesn't have to be fancy. Grab your phone and lean it up against something right now and film a few seconds of how you start your work day. Clients love when you keep it real.

Wednesday - post a motivating meme, an inspirational quote or something funny to help your followers get over hump day.

Thursday - let people know how they can buy from or work with you.

And Friday - finish off the week with a fabulous review someone has left you.

Is posting daily 'spammy'?

Yesterday while I was waiting for my client to arrive I was scrolling on Instagram and a post popped up that caught my attention. I can't remember whose account it was or even the exact wording but in a nutshell it said, "You are the only one who sees ALL of your posts".

Just then my client arrived and I put my phone away so we could get to work.

As we chatted she said to me, "I don't post too often because I don't want to spam people. I mean I hate it myself when I get too many emails from businesses."

And that post I'd seen earlier popped straight into my head.

It was such an aha moment for my client when I shared what I'd read and why, so I thought it was important enough to share it here with you too.

Maybe it is too much to email someone daily but social media is totally different.

Just because you see everything you post does not mean anyone else does. In fact you're probably lucky if even 10% of your followers see your posts on any given day. I think the actual stats are much lower than that.

It's also really important to remember that people need multiple touchpoints before they're ready to work with or buy from you. It used to be 7 times, but it's around double that now.

So if you want your followers to see you more, it makes sense you need to be more visible.

And if your family or friends complain about seeing your posts all the time, maybe it's time to gently remind them they can 'unfollow' you and you won't be offended.

But if you explain to them about needing to be visible to grow your business you might find they become your best supporters and start giving your posts a quick like, comment or share to help you.

How often are you showing up on your social media?
Is it enough to be seen by more than just a few of your followers?

If not and you'd like some help with this comment below or message me and I'll send you the link to download my free guide to help you Master Your Social Media :)

𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐟 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐨𝐧...

This is your invitation to come and eat delicious food and network with amazing women.

All while working on your social media content for the next month or 3, without the usual feelings of stress and overwhelm.

In fact you'll see how much fun it is to create content using my practical system, with other people in the room to brainstorm ideas with.

And did I say you can purchase tickets to one workshop or all 6 remaining workshops in 2024 at just half price if you book before the 30th June.

𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬 & 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐟 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 -www.eventbrite.com/e/402347852257/?discount=EOFY50OFF

This is an in person event held in my Macleod studio, and 90% of people who come to a workshop come again it's so good!

PS. The next workshop is this Thursday 27th June and there are still a couple of spots left so it's a great opportunity to come along and see what you think. If you love it you'll still be able to get half price tickets for the rest of the year until 30th June.

Stuck for content ideas?

If you're staring at your phone wondering what to post this week, here's your inspiration for the next 5 days.

A great way to start the week is with an introduction post. This could be a reel or photo of you. And tell a little about yourself and why you do what you do. Don't worry if you've already done this, remember not everyone sees all your posts.

Tuesday share a tip your audience will love. Personal or professional.

Wed time for another promo post. Make sure you tell your audience what your product or service will do for them.

Thursday is for giving thanks to your clients. Do a shoutout, post a behind the scenes video or a testimonial. Make sure you give your client a tag or share their link.

Fun Friday comes around quickly. A funny story, a bloopers video or a funny meme your followers relate to is perfect for the last day of the week.

Don't forget every post needs to add value to your viewers, whether that be educational, emotional or entertaining.

Have an amazing week and I look forward to seeing all your new content!

Don't forget to tag me if you use these ideas so I can interact and help boost your algorithm.

The countdown till the end of financial has officially begun!!

It's time to check your budget and get your final investments in to claim this tax year. If you haven't already done your tax planning you def need to look at this before the 30th June.

What does this have to do with me and this post?

Wellllll... I've got a special offer for you to attend my Content Workshops for the rest of the year at a ridiculously low price if you prepay them now. And the bonus is you'll be able to claim them against this year's tax (double check this with your accountant first of course).

So what is this special offer?

You can get one or all of the remaining 6 workshops in 2024 for half price!

Yep that's right, 2 for the price of one, 6 for the price of 3.

Book them all, book every second one or just start by securing one.

If you want a test run at half price grab a spot at the next workshop on Thursday 27th June and then you'll still have a day or two to book for the rest of the year if you love it (providing there are spots left of course!).

Of course this is not just about getting a great price deal.

This is the perfect opportunity to get your social media sorted for the second half of 2024, meet amazing business people for a little networking, get delicious food while you work and brainstorm with me!

Want to know more? DM for details.

Spaces are limited and half price offer ends 30th June 2024
