As promised, today we're talking all about maximizing your social media strategy in 2022! We'll be furthering the conversation we began on episode 19, "7 Instagram trends to watch for in 2022." The episode was all about 2022 trends and predictions. We want to take that conversation a little bit further today and dive deeper into what you might need to hear or what you need to know to do with your content this year.  Click below for show notes! https://www.ruthiegray.mom/social-media-strategy/ Click to visit episode 17, 7 Instagram trends to watch for 2022 https://www.ruthiegray.mom/instagram-trends/ Click to take the Reels personality quiz! https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/611fc03c688e1f0017ed5f53     Maximizing your social media strategy The other day, the head of Instagram reported IG is experimenting with what you want to see in your feed. This kind of information is crucial to your social media strategy! They are experimenting with chronological order, or you can even tailor your feed to what you want to see. Now you can mute people. You can mute them for good or you can hide them to where you're still following them, but you don't have to see their posts. There's a lot more that you can do now than you could with your social media strategy than you could do before. That's just one of the trends that's going on that we have noticed. So we know that Reels and video are hot and we have people that are hesitant to get on the video bandwagon. It's hard, but you can fit it into your schedule! Here's the thing, what we know that's working right now is video. You could post as many infographics as you want, as well as static posts (non-video image posts). However, if you wanted to shorten the amount of time that you're on Instagram, then just use what Instagram wants you to use, which is video. You'll maximize the time that you're on the platform!     Using Instagram Video for your social media strategy Sometimes, we make video harder than it has to be. You don't even have to video yourself. If you watch my Reel recently, you'll see I just filmed my messy desk. There's all the cords everywhere. Life of a podcaster! There's my notes. There's 25 tabs open on my laptop and then at the end I just put in a picture of me. There's a song in the background. It took me 15 minutes to do. I put some text on there. So if you have an idea, just write it down! This is key for your social media strategy. If you don't have ideas for video or Reels, we have 40 free ideas. If you're not on our email list, send me a DM and you'll receive those.     I also encourage you to take the Reels Personality Quiz, linked in shownotes. If you fill that out, you'll get those 40 Free Ideas. You'll want to get on my newsletter because I give even more detailed, deeper wisdom on entrepreneurial strategies as a Christian on Instagram and what you can do with your social media strategy. That is in my email. There's one I just sent out this morning. If you read that, let me have a thumbs up. I know most of you guys did! Most of y'all get my newsletter, so it's valuable and I spend time on it so that I can help you guys grow. Maximize your time by using video on the platform.      Get ready to maximize your time We all love to maximize our time. What we've discovered from the 2022 trends happening is the more you're on the app, the more Instagram is rewarding those people on the app. They're going to push your content out. But as a Christian entrepreneur, do you really want to spend all of your time on Instagram? Most people don't want to spend all their time on Instagram. What you have to do is maximize your time. That's why we're saying if you'll use video, you don't have to be on there quite as long as if you would post every day, five days a week. Does watching lives count for time spent? No, it doesn't really unless you're engaging. That helps the other person, but it doesn't really help you. 

How do you factor social security into a retirement plan? What is my process? What do people do wrong with social security because they don't understand how it works? In this episode of the Retirement Made Easy podcast, my goal is to simplify social security benefits to help you make an informed decision. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [3:15] How to get a FREE retirement assessment [4:25] Social security basics you need to know [8:35] Understanding the cost of living adjustment [11:18] Should you claim your benefit early and reinvest the money? [12:44] The social security survivor benefit  Social security basics that you need to know Most people know that you need to have worked 10 years or 40 quarters and paid in taxes to qualify for social security retirement benefits. Social Security is clear that it was never intended to make up 100% of your retirement income. They claim it should only account for 30%. Where does the other 70% have to come from? A pension or your personal savings (401k or Roth IRA). The next thing you need to know is that you can claim your social security benefit as early as age 62 or as late as age 70. Your full retirement age is between 66 and 67 based on your year of birth. If you claim your benefit before your full retirement age you'll be hit with income restrictions. For every $2 you earn over $19,560, social security will withhold $1 of your benefits. As a financial planner, my goal is to help you determine the optimal age to claim benefits. Social security won't advise you on this (nor should you expect them to). It's their job to provide you with the information.  Understanding the cost of living adjustment Social security announces a cost-of-living increase in October of every year for the following calendar year. In 2022, social security benefits increased 5.9% because inflation in 2021 was through the roof. Inflation was up 7% in 2021 but you can never expect social security to be in lockstep with inflation. From 1985 through 2021 the average cost of living adjustment per year was 2.5%.  Some years the benefit decreased because of Medicare Part B (which comes out of your social security benefit). If the cost of Medicare Part B increases and there is no cost of living adjustment, what you get will decrease. Since we don't know how much Medicare Part B will increase yearly, we have to plan accordingly. We factor in a conservative 1.5% cost-of-living adjustment from social security in our retirement plans. The social security survivor benefit  Statistically speaking, women outlive men. If you're looking at things logically, you want to make sure the wife is provided for if the husband passes away. If both spouses are collecting social security—and the husband's benefit is higher—his benefit becomes hers when he passes away (for the rest of her life). We usually advise people to delay the higher of the two benefits when possible so the survivor benefit is maximized. Then, we claim the wife's benefits earlier. If something happened to her, the husband would still have the higher benefits available.  There is no one-size-fits-all retirement plan. We pay thousands of dollars for software to analyze different options for our clients. Obviously, the decision is difficult because we don't know when anyone will die. We can only make educated assumptions based on average life expectancies. Should you claim your benefit early and reinvest the money?

This week on Spaghetti On The Wall, Armando sits down with Kandy!

In the United States, adults use digital media for an average of 7 hours and 50 minutes each day (Source: eMarketer). This includes an average of 145 minutes on social media every day (Source: Statista) plus additional time spent on the web, CTV, digital video, and digital audio. The consumer is spending more and more of their time living in a digital world, and if we want our businesses to succeed, we should market in that same digital world.    Neal is the author of four sales and marketing books including Maximize Your Social and The Age of Influence, a groundbreaking book redefining digital influence. He's also the host of the podcast, Maximize Your Social Influence.   Neal Schaffer is a leading social media strategist who helps innovative businesses digitally transform their sales and marketing strategies. He's the founder of the digital marketing consultancy PDCA Social and is a fractional CMO for several companies. He also teaches digital marketing at Rutgers Business School and the Irish Management Institute.    In today's episode, Neal shared how we can become digital influencers and build our online presence.    Becoming an Influencer    I asked Neal to share the biggest business tectonic shift he sees in today's marketplace and he told me it is the growth of the digital world. Over the past decade, businesses have started waking up and seeing that consumers live in a digital world. They shop online, they consume content online, they communicate online, and they go online for entertainment and solutions to their problems. If we want to succeed, we need to be digitally engaging.    “People are still searching on Google, people are still reading emails, and people are spending a ton of time on social media. You have to nail those three areas,” Neal explained. “They're equally important for different stages of the funnel; they all have the unique roles they play, but [being digital] should be the 100% focus of your marketing today.”   Neal said if we're not creating a digital presence for our businesses, we're going to be invisible to our consumers. We can begin by building our own platforms such as a website or social media account. By expanding our reach, building an audience, and providing unique value to customers, and establishing trust we begin to become influencers in our specific niche.   Neal shared four tips we need to consider as we become digital influencers.     Create Content      To be an influencer, we need to create content. “How are influencers influential today? They have a platform, and they're creating content,” Neal said. “You have got to create a platform. You have got to create content. If you can't do that, you want to tap into other people who can.”    During Neal's entrepreneurial journey, he began tuning into the challenges and issues other people had. He listened to and stayed in direct contact with his customers. While he was paying attention to the people around him, he found there were a lot of issues about marketing technology. He specifically noticed a lot of questions about social media marketing and influencer marketing.   From the problems his customers had, Neal found a way to be a solution. He wanted to give a unique perspective on marketing, so he wrote a book on it and became known for influencer marketing. Not only did he create a book, but he also built a website, created blog content, and started a podcast. If we want to create influence online, it comes down to having a platform and creating content. Most powerful influencers post at least once a day and this often includes posts on multiple platforms. If we want to build influence, we should start creating consistent, frequent, and valuable content at least once a week, but daily would be much better.      Be Passionate     If we want to become an influencer, we need to build an audience of people who are willing to listen to us. To do this, we should start by connecting with our customers' passions, what I call passion marketing. Instead of solely focusing on our own passions, we can find ways our passions overlap with our customers'. As we do this, we begin to establish and build strong relationships with our audience.    “If you want to tap into people with a certain passion, you need to show it yourself,” Neal said. “That's what social media is great for. I think if you do that and share your passion, you will attract these people with that similar passion, who won't mind spending money with you.”   As we share our passions with the digital world, we will eventually find our tribe. People will connect with us through our passions and be more willing to spend money on our product or service if it is something they love.    “When you're really passionate about something, you will invest the money in it,” Neal said. For example, Neal shared that he has a passion for music and so he is willing to spend money on building his CD collection. If we can connect with our customer's passions, we will have a much higher chance of monetizing our businesses.     Stay in Direct Contact With Our Customers     We want to be in direct contact with our customers. It's the only way we will know enough about their problems to effectively solve them.    The biggest mistake Neal made was caused by a lack of connection. While he was working with a company, they lost one of their biggest clients. “We did not know what was going on in the decision-making process and technical evaluations, but our partner was saying, ‘Oh, you're a shoo-in,'” Neal said. “[But] then we didn't get the deal.”    He continued, “You can never assume anything in business. A lot of people internally assume because they're working through a partner, [they already have] direct sales. And to this day, although I see the benefit of working through distributors, you've got to understand what's going on with the client with your own ears.”   We should understand what is going on with our clients and customers at all times. We have to pay attention to what is going on and how their needs and wants are changing. If we aren't in direct contact with our customers, we may have a miscommunication and end up losing them.    “Even if you work through distributors resellers, you have got to keep your finger on the pulse directly because everybody else in between is just out; they have their own business objectives,” Neal said. “You need to check in and really keep your finger on the pulse of that end customer if you ultimately want to be successful.”     Use Failure as an Opportunity for Growth     Despite his failures, Neal was able to push past them and find room for improvement. “With every mistake is an opportunity to improve,” Neal said. “If you're an entrepreneur, you're going to make mistakes. You just don't want to make the same mistake twice.”   As we develop our digital influence, it is essential to remember it will take time and failure to get to the point we want to. We have to accept failure as a lesson and make changes accordingly.    When people hit a roadblock or brick wall, they often get frustrated and want to give up. While it's natural to feel discouraged, we can shift the way we look at challenges so they become less of a roadblock, and more of a hurdle we can jump over. It is about a mindset and attitude shift. If we can look at a mistake as an opportunity to pivot, it will bring so much more success.    We will deal with rejection. Every successful entrepreneur has experienced or will experience rejection. We should view rejection as a sign we need to do something differently to improve. We can take every bad customer review as feedback and a way for growth. As we learn from the feedback, we can build something that will resonate with our customers so we can start to get testimonials and reviews. Positive testimonials and reviews are key to building our influence, but it may take some bad reviews and changes first.    We should remember to keep our vision and final goal in mind. There will always be times of danger, however, if we are serving our community and keep our end goal in mind, we will have the mentality to push the small mistakes aside and not let them get in our way of fulfilling our mission.    Key Takeaways   Thank you so much Neal for sharing your stories and insights with us today. Here are some of my key takeaways from this episode:   The consumer is spending more and more of their time living in a digital world. If we want our businesses to succeed, we should do the same.  If we want to build digital influence, we need to create content. We should start creating consistent, frequent, and valuable content at least once a week.  As we connect to our customers' passions, they will be more willing to spend money on our products or services. We want to be in direct contact with our customers. It's the only way we will know enough about their problems to effectively solve them.   If we can look at a mistake as an opportunity to pivot and grow, it will bring so much more success.    Connect with Neal   If you enjoyed this interview and want to learn more about Neal or connect with him, you can find him on LinkedIn or visit his website at NealSchaffer.com.

You already know how to make amazing videos. If only that were enough to sustain your business, you’d be all set. Sadly, outstanding video seldom is enough. To truly get the business you need, you need to market what you do. Today’s guest is here to help us navigate the murky waters of social media marketing so that you can grow your business to the next level. Key Takeaways Don’t get caught up in how many followers you have. What’s more important is promoting the quality of your impact and the value you provide. This will not only help you get discovered but will allow you to charge what you’re worth.   You need to market to a specific need. By trying to market to everybody, you’re marketing to nobody. By specializing in something specific, you’ll be better positioned to market to and find your ideal clients. The more specific you can get, the more powerful and tangible your messaging will be. About Neal Schaffer Neal Schaffer is an authority on helping innovative businesses digitally transform their sales and marketing.

The Many Ways Social Media Can Be Used In Marketing We all have to market our businesses. There are countless ways to do this and it will look different for everyone. Neal discusses how to use social media to build your exposure and influence in a way that’s authentic to who you are and your brand.  You need to be specific in your approach. Carefully choose the platform, format, and content that makes the most sense to what you do and who you want to reach. Neal explains how honing in on this will help you differentiate what you do and reach the right clients. This may mean further developing your niche, or even changing it altogether. Being Unique To Leverage Your Connections The thing to remember is that, no matter what, you have a unique experience. That experience is what sets you apart and gives you something worth sharing. Whatever it is, it can be applied to something related to video. Neal reminds us that we are all experts in something. Marketing is merely a way to communicate that you’re an expert to the people who need that expertise. It’s also not that important how many followers you have. What matters more is how connected you are to others. It’s the quality of those relationships that makes the difference. Neal tells us how to use your sphere of influence to get the word out so that more business will start flowing your way.  What could be holding you back from a pivot you need to make? What do you need to do to move forward? How can you use your skills in video to reach out within your sphere of influence?

Social security is the backbone of so many people's retirement plans, yet many of us get it wrong. In fact, the average family leaves over $100,000 in benefits on the table. Your retirement strategy must include a solid game plan for claiming social security benefits, but it isn't always easy to figure out what exactly is available to you - or how to get it. Mark Kiner has been a CPA since 1980 and has focused much of his work since 2008 on understanding social security. When he needed help, a friend recommended that he reach out to Jim Blair, who walked away from his own retirement to co-found Premier Social Security Consulting. Now, they provide Social Security consulting for individual clients and education for financial advisors. Today, Mark and Jim join the podcast to talk about the major mistakes that people make as they claim social security, how to craft a strategy designed to avoid these pitfalls once and for all, and how to find an advisor who can help you navigate this astoundingly complex system. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: How Americans leave as much as $3.4 trillion in unclaimed social security benefits behind. Why even Social Security Administration employees lack comprehensive knowledge of everything possible when it comes to social security. How to navigate benefits taxes and avoid accidentally crossing an income threshold that can drastically affect your finances. Why social security isn't going to go broke - and taking benefits now because you think it will is a bad idea. How divorce can affect social security eligibility and payments.  Get Today's Show Notes To get a full recap of today's conversation, including the biggest takeaways, transcripts, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit GuidedRetirementShow.com/34 Learn More about Retirement Planning Find out more about retirement planning and Barber Financial Group, by visiting BarberFinancialGroup.com

As you publish more blog posts and content throughout social media on a wide variety of subjects that are relevant to your business, how do you know which content is performing better or worse? How can you take that engagement data and feed it back into your publishing infrastructure to create more or less content about what types of content that are relevant to your company, and in doing so generating higher and higher ROI for whatever metric you are tracking? In this episode I introduce a quarterly content audit which I just started doing which gives you specific instructions of how to do this with your own content using my own blog as a case study. You'll learn about the concept of content buckets that I introduced back in 2013 in my Maximize Your Social book and how to apply that in PDCA style with a data-driven approach which allows you to further optimize your marketing with every (quarterly) iteration!Episodes mentioned in the show:137: How To Optimize Your Blog Posts For Higher Search Rankings And Stay Ahead Of The CompetitionReference Links for Neal Schaffer:My Website: https://nealschaffer.com/Learn more about this podcast: https://nealschaffer.com/maximize-your-social-influence-podcast/The Age of Influence Free Preview: https://nealschaffer.com/age-of-influence-preview

As the owner of a financial planning firm that has helped hundreds of families plan their retirement, it’s clear that many people overlook how Social Security can fit into their financial and income planning puzzle - and there’s a lot of misinformation out there. A lot of so-called "financial advisors" or CPAs don’t educate their clients about the pros, cons and specific options that are available to you. As a result, few people know how to truly utilize it to hedge against longevity, healthcare costs, and inflation. To make matters worse, Social Security won't give you advice. If you say a wrong word, you're setting yourself up to lose tens - if not hundreds - of thousands of dollars. That’s why you need to know how to invest, get out efficiently, and avoid feeling like you need to constantly beat the market. In short, I want you to create a game plan with a purpose - which is what today’s episode is all about. In this podcast interview, you’ll learn: Why a law that took effect in 2016 made us change many of our clients' financial plans - and what we can do to make sure your Social Security stays funded. What you should be looking for in a financial advisor to help you manage your retirement - especially as you approach the age at which you have to begin taking withdrawals. The many issues caused by filing early - and how to maximize your withdrawal for the long term.   Interview Resources The Heartful Retirement Ed Slott's Elite IRA Advisor Group Get What's Yours: The Secrets to Maxing Out Your Social Security

With more and more people reaching retirement age, making decisions on where to get an income stream becomes very important. Years ago many people retired with pensions where their employers determined how much income they would receive. The employer had the responsibility to determine how much money you could receive without running out of funds if you live a nice long life. Today most retirees might have a 401(k) or other savings and they have no idea how to make it last. Social security is the primary source for a guaranteed income stream. That is income they can count on for the rest of their life. But even then most retirees don’t understand the decisions they need to make or the strategies they can choose to optimize this extremely valuable benefit. So We decided to ask an expert. Mary Beth Franklin is one of the country’s leading experts on Social Security and Medicare. An award-winning journalist and Certified Financial Planner, Mary Beth writes a weekly column on retirement issues for Investment News, a publication for financial advisers. She is also author of the ebook, Maximizing Your Social Security Retirement Benefits. Previously, Mary Beth served as the tax and retirement editor for Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine and editor of Kiplinger’s annual Retirement Planning Guide. Earlier in her career, Mary Beth was a Capitol Hill reporter for United Press International. She is a frequent guest on numerous radio and television programs.

If you want to learn how to maximize both your preparation and enjoyment of retirement, you’ve found the best way to do that. It’s here on The Retirement Answer Man podcast. This episode is focused on a very important issue - understanding the Social Security system (which is no small task). I’ve got a great guest on the show today - Devin Carroll - who is one of the best sources of understanding on this issue of anyone I know and you’re going to get some very actionable things you can do to not only understand your Social Security benefits but also to make the most of them now and in the future. Do you worry too much? As we grow older we begin to move into a time of life where we naturally understand less and less about the world and the way things are going. It’s a time when worry can start to creep in and get the best of us. But worry is never, ever a good idea. In fact, it’s been shown to be one of the most detrimental internal behaviors. On this episode I’m going to lead you through a few questions to help you assess your level of worry and adopt a mindset to help you offload your worry and get into a healthier mental place. Ready? Let’s do it! Complexity can be the enemy of wise retirement planning. It befuddles me to no end when I see financial advisors come up with retirement plans that are hundreds of pages long. What in the world?!!! There’s no reason for a retirement plan to be that complex. Complexity is our enemy because it keeps us from looking at the simple, bare facts of a situation and taking correspondingly wise action. On this episode I’m going to show you how you can adopt a simpler, easier to understand approach to your retirement planning so that you not only understand what you should do to plan for retirement, but can actually do it. How to navigate the complex Social Security System. If you go to either of the Social Security websites you’ll find over 10,000 pages of content having to do with what the system is and how it works. Even experts on the system, like my guest today, Devin Carroll, have to refer back to those sites over and over in their lifetimes. On this episode Devin and I chat about the 3 most important things that you can do in order to make sure you’re getting the most out of your Social Security benefits. Talk about simplicity, this conversation is aimed at being exactly that! If you need help with your Social Security benefits, Devin’s the man!
