Are you ready to dive deep into the latest social media trends that are shaping the landscape of content creation?

This week, I tackle President Trump's recent comments regarding TikTok, hinting at a potential extension for the app's deadline amid ongoing negotiations with its owner, ByteDance. While I express my fatigue over the ongoing TikTok saga, I provide insights into its implications for content creators and users alike.Shifting gears, I explore Instagram's exciting new feature: lockable reels. This innovative tool allows creators to share exclusive content that can only be accessed through a secret code, opening up new avenues for engagement with loyal followers. I share effective strategies for leveraging this feature to enhance your Instagram DM strategies and build a more dedicated community. The episode also includes a special segment from YouTube's Creator Insider team, where we discuss the recent removal of the Revert to Original feature in YouTube Studio Editor. Additionally, we delve into the importance of crafting compelling hooks in short-form video content, particularly as it relates to the ever-evolving creator economy.In this episode, I highlight the dedication required in content creation, featuring insights from creator Jenny Hoyos, who reveals that it takes her about an hour to produce each second of engaging content. This emphasizes the hard work behind social media videos and serves as a reminder to appreciate the effort that goes into creating captivating Instagram edits, TikTok trends, and YouTube captions. Whether you're looking for social media marketing tips, insider insights on Instagram, or strategies to enhance your content creation process, this episode is packed with valuable information. Don't miss out on the chance to elevate your social media strategies and stay ahead in the dynamic world of Instagram news updates, TikTok updates, and the latest platform updates.

If you're a blogger, coach, or creator, LinkedIn might seem like the last place you'd go to grow your business. Isn't it just for corporate jobs and stuffy networking? Not anymore. In my latest Blogger Genius Podcast episode, I interviewed LinkedIn expert Louise Brogan, and she opened my eyes: LinkedIn is a hidden goldmine for creators ready to stand out and sell. In this post, I'll break down why LinkedIn is your next big opportunity, how to get started the right way, and how to use tools like MiloTree to build your audience effortlessly. Show Notes: MiloTree FREEBIE: AI Prompt for 10 Product Ideas in Uncertain Times FREEBIE: 3 AI Prompts You Need to Create a Freebie Cheatsheet FREEBIE: 13 AI Prompts to Write an Ebook in Under 3 Hours Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group Louise Brogan Raise Your Visibility on LinkedIn Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: YouTube iTunes Spotify Why LinkedIn is the Hidden Opportunity You Can't Ignore Most bloggers and small business owners think LinkedIn is only for suits and corporate ladder climbers. But Louise shared a surprising truth: ✅ People on LinkedIn have money to spend — and they're looking for new hobbies, services, and products. ✅ Less competition — Only 2% of LinkedIn users post content! ✅ Engaged audiences — These aren't passive scrollers. LinkedIn users are more likely to buy, connect, and hire. If you've been hit hard by Google updates or you're frustrated with Instagram's algorithm, LinkedIn offers a fresh place to be seen and heard — especially if you're creative, independent, or selling digital products. How to Start Growing Your Business on LinkedIn You don't need to reinvent the wheel to succeed on LinkedIn. Here's Louise's simple, powerful strategy: 1. Optimize Your Profile Think of your LinkedIn profile as your storefront. Louise recommends making it immediately clear: Who you help How you help them What action you want them to take next (hint: link to your freebie, blog, or store) Pro Tip: Your profile should focus more on your audience's needs than your own resume. 2. Post Just Twice a Week Unlike Instagram or TikTok where you need to post daily, LinkedIn works best with just 1–2 posts a week. Some ideas: Share quick tips or advice related to your niche. Ask engaging questions that invite comments. Tell short stories that connect to your brand.

In this episode of Derms and Conditions, James Del Rosso, DO, welcomes Dustin Portela, DO, a private practice dermatologist in Boise, ID, and well-known social media presence, to discuss the challenges and responsibilities of dermatologists engaging online while maintaining professional integrity. Dr Portela shares how he unintentionally became an influencer, initially using social media to market his new practice without a budget. His following grew as he provided accurate, engaging, and evidence-based dermatologic education, evolving into a broader platform for both patients and clinicians. They discuss combatting misinformation, as much of the skin care advice online comes from nonmedical sources. Dr Portela emphasizes that his goal is to provide science-backed, accessible information, mirroring the guidance he offers in the clinic. He recommends the AAD website, DermNet, and YouTube's certified health professionals as trusted resources and uses AI tools like ChatGPT to simplify patient education, though he stresses the importance of reviewing content for accuracy before sharing. They also address legal considerations, with Dr Portela advising dermatologists to avoid direct medical advice online and instead keep recommendations general and educational. He cautions that malpractice policies typically do not cover social media activity, making it crucial to understand liability risks. Finally, they discuss brand partnerships, with Dr Portela emphasizing authenticity and trust. He only endorses products he has personally used and recommended in practice, ensuring his audience receives honest, unbiased information. Tune in to the full episode for insights on navigating social media responsibly, protecting credibility, and effectively leveraging online platforms for dermatologic education.

The pandemic posed unprecedented challenges for the travel industry. Launching her company in November 2019, Nikita quickly pivoted her messaging to assist travel advisors in handling client cancellations and rescheduled trips. The conversation around personal branding was never more relevant, as maintaining a strong social media presence during the pandemic proved essential for staying top-of-mind with clients. Why Personal Branding Builds Authority Personal branding isn't just about self-promotion—it's about building trust and establishing authority in your field. For travel advisors, this means cultivating an authentic presence that speaks directly to potential clients. “People relate to people,” Nikita emphasizes. “A strong personal brand lays the groundwork for authentic connections.” Nikita advises blending personal content with business updates to reach as many potential travelers as possible. For example, you could share a mix of family photos and client success stories on Facebook. This humanizes your business, making clients feel more connected to you as a person. On Instagram, maintain a conversational tone like speaking to a friend at a cocktail party. And on LinkedIn, focus on thought leadership: share your industry insights and success stories to establish yourself as an authority. Using Social Media Effectively Each social media platform serves a different purpose, and Nikita shares her tips on how you can use each platform effectively as a business. Facebook: Maintain a business page and use your personal page for broader reach. Share a mix of personal and business content to stay authentic. Instagram: Use a business profile for better insights. Personal stories can blend with business updates to help you stay top of mind with travelers. LinkedIn: Approach it as a platform for thought leadership. Share industry insights and behind-the-scenes content to build authority. Engagement is key to social media's effectiveness. Nikita stresses that your tone should be conversational, not salesy. Your stories and successes should subtly showcase your expertise without overt selling.

In the most recent episode of the Blogger Genius Podcast, I sit down with Kimberly Espinel, a renowned food photographer and Instagram expert behind the blog The Little Plantation. Together, we explore the evolving landscape of food blogging, the impact of AI, and actionable strategies for leveraging Instagram to build community and engagement. The Evolution of Food Blogging The Pandemic Boom Kimberly reflects on the surge in food blogging during the pandemic. With more people cooking at home, the demand for recipes and food content skyrocketed. However, as the world returns to normal, maintaining this momentum requires a strategic approach. The Importance of a Blog as a Home Base While social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube are essential for showcasing personality and connecting with your audiences, Kimberly emphasizes the importance of having a blog as a home base. A blog provides a stable platform for your content, unaffected by the ever-changing algorithms of social media.

Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: iTunes YouTube Spotify The Role of AI in Content Creation AI as a Tool, Not a Replacement Both Kimberly and I discuss the impact of AI on content creation. Tools like ChatGPT can generate recipes and content quickly, but they lack the personal touch that makes your blog unique. Kimberly stresses that while AI can provide information, it cannot replicate the unique voice and personality of a content creator. This personal touch is essential for building a loyal audience. Building Connections Through Personal Branding Injecting Personality into Content Kimberly suggests that bloggers need to inject more of their personality into their content to stand out. This can be achieved through various formats on Instagram, such as reels and stories, where creators can share personal anecdotes and behind-the-scenes glimpses of their lives. Overcoming Introversion One common concern among content creators: the discomfort of being on camera, especially for introverts. Kimberly acknowledges that while it can be challenging, showing one's face and personality can significantly enhance engagement. She encourages introverts to start small, perhaps by using voiceovers or sharing behind-the-scenes content, to gradually build their comfort level. The Importance of Authenticity Testing Different Content Formats Kimberly shares her experience of testing different content formats on Instagram. She found that posts featuring her face or personal stories garnered significantly more engagement than text-based posts. This reinforces the idea that audiences crave genuine connections with creators. The Future of Food Photography Kimberly addresses the rise of AI-generated images in food photography. While some may see this as a threat, she believes there will always be a demand for authentic, human-created content. Clients often prefer working with photographers who bring a unique perspective and personal touch to their work. Actionable Strategies for Instagram Success Creating Engaging Reels Kimberly emphasizes the importance of creating reels, as they are currently the most effective way to reach new audiences. Reels allow you to showcase your personality and creativity in a short, engaging format. Sharing Personal Stories Sharing personal stories and experiences fosters a sense of community and connection. Kimberly suggests using Instagram stories to share behind-the-scenes content, personal anecdotes, and day-in-the-life posts. Analyzing Performance Metrics Kimberly emphasizes the importance of reviewing your analytics to understand what content resonates with your audience. For instance, while carousel posts may receive more likes, reels often lead to greater follower growth. By analyzing performance, you can identify trends and replicate successful content strategies. Engagement Strategies To drive engagement and move followers off Instagram to your website or email list, Kimberly recommends using prompts in stories and captions. Instead of direct links, she suggests asking followers to DM for links or use specific keywords, which can increase engagement and visibility. Sustainable Posting Practices Consistency is crucial, but it should not come at the expense of your well-being. Kimberly advises finding a posting rhythm that feels sustainable and enjoyable. Ideally, posting three times a week can be effective, but it's essential to adjust based on your personal circumstances and mental health. Utilizing Different Instagram Features Each part of Instagram serves a different purpose. The grid is for outward-facing content, stories are for building intimacy, and DMs are for deeper connections. Kimberly suggests creating unique content for each feature rather than simply resharing reels, as this can lead to lower engagement. Building Your Email List Offering Freebies and Running Challenges Kimberly shares her strategies for growing her email list, including offering freebies and running challenges. These initiatives not only provide value to her audience but also encourage sign-ups for her newsletter. Adapting to Change Flexibility and Openness The digital landscape is constantly evolving, and Kimberly stresses the importance of being flexible and open to change. Regularly reviewing analytics and being willing to adjust your strategy is key to long-term success. Finding Joy in Content Creation Embracing the Journey While Kimberly acknowledges the challenges of content creation, she encourages embracing the opportunity to express oneself and connect with others. The emotional rollercoaster of blogging is part of the journey, and finding joy in the process is essential. Conclusion Personal branding and authenticity in the evolving landscape of food blogging have become paramount. As AI continues to change the way content is created and consumed, bloggers who embrace their unique voices and connect with their audiences on a personal level will thrive. By following Kimberly's actionable tips and strategies, you can enhance your Instagram presence, build deeper connections with your audience, and achieve greater success in your blogging endeavors.
