hi friends! I've been having lots of ups and downs with my energy lately, and pretending it doesn't affect how I show up is just plain silly. So, here I am to give you some juicy perspectives on Social Media and what's happening this year and beyond, and why we all need to chill the f' out. 😉 I recently came across this blog post: https://liahaberman.substack.com/p/icymi-your-2026-predictions-on-the I know it's September 2026, but what they shared applies beyond this year. If you have been feeling drained by the constant algorithm hustle, you are not imagining it. A recent report on digital marketing predictions highlighted everything we all see and experience. When marketers were asked about their social media outlook, the most common words were fatigue, overwhelmed, exhausted, and drained. 𝗜𝗳 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂, 𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗼, 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗼. The takeaway? You do not need to be everywhere to grow your business. And I believe the future is more like what those marketers shared and what I see happening with astrology.

𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘀 Stop trying to maintain four different social media feeds. The data shows a clear breakdown of where attention is actually going -- would I do all of these? Nah, look to see where your audience is hanging out: - Instagram remains #1 for broad reach, visual storytelling, and connecting via DMs. - LinkedIn is the breakout #2. It is no longer just corporate resumes. Women entrepreneurs are finding huge success sharing authentic, thought-leadership content here with less noise. - Short-form video & Carousels are still performing best. If video feels like too much lift, carousels are making a massive comeback for reach and engagement without requiring you to get on camera every day.

Because sometimes we post a thoughtful 7-paragraph masterpiece… (like me!! I have a hard time being short at times) …and get 1 like, and a cricket chirping in the distance. 🦗😂 So let’s reverse-engineer engagement. What usually gets YOU to stop scrolling and join the conversation? - A question I can answer quickly - A poll because clicking feels easier than thinking 😅 - A relatable story - A challenge or prompt - Someone tags me - A topic I have VERY strong opinions about 👀 Something to consider... 👉 People engage when the invitation to participate feels easy and clear. Instead of only asking yourself, “What should I post today?” Try asking: “What would make this ridiculously easy for my members to respond to and engage with me?” 👇 Vote below and tell us in the comments: What type of post almost always gets you to respond?

I started using Pinterest for my business as soon as I started blogging. I started getting traffic and new leads (including paying customers) within a few months of consistently growing the account. Then I boosted a few high-performing pins and got even more traffic. I no longer pay for boosted pins, and I still get leads from Pinterest. 🥳 What's the trick? - Be strategic in your board curation - Pin consistently (if you can) ---> I haven't posted in forever and still get traffic - Understand what pins do well in your niche, and design for those styles or come up with your own and test!! --> test, and test, and test Want to go even deeper?
