When you understand the nuances of Instagram's four distinct parts, you can easily grow your online presence and impact there.

In this week's episode:

• There are four distinct parts of Instagram: Feed, Live, Stories, IGTV.
• In order to get the analytics (to see what's working best for your audience) on all of your posts, you must have a business account. I detail how to do this in the episode.
• Instagram is a hashtag game!
• You can have up to 30 hashtags in any IG feed post. Any more than that and none of the hashtags will be seen.
• I provide helpful hashtag tools below! (scroll down to "Mentioned in this episode)
• The "Swipe Up" feature in the feed is for accounts that have 10,000 followers or more.
• IGTV videos can be 10 minutes long with less than 10,000 followers and up to an hour in length with 10,000 or more followers.
• Instagram live broadcasts can be up to one hour long and disappear in 24 hours.
• Instagram stories (my favorite!) can have video clips of 15 seconds or less

Looking back on your year and reflecting on the things you've ...

With about 2.5 billion active daily users, Facebook is the most used social media platform available today. If you have a business, it's likely that your customers (or those buying things for them) are on Facebook. Starting off our social media series, this episode is all about Facebook and the many ways you can increase your online visibility there.

In this week's episode:

• Everything on Facebook begins with your personal account, also known as your "profile.
• "Friending" people strategically on Facebook allows you to be tagged and tag them in posts on Facebook, easily connect via Messenger and more. 
• Your business account on Facebook is referred to as your "page."
• Social media platforms are being abused and utilized as dating apps--do NOT do this!
• You can post whatever you want on Facebook as long as it doesn't violate the platform's terms of service, but I suggest that everything you post be "brand-friendly." 
• Your profile and page photos should be different.
• You can sell
