Last month, I quietly ran an experiment on my Instagram account.
What would happen if I only posted Reels for 30 days?
Would my reach improve?
Would I gain followers?

A tale of two kitties (Jekyll and Hyde style).
Sure, he knows how to turn on the “I’m just a cute & fuzzy ‘lil guy” bit.

SEO can have such a big impact on local businesses.
If you want to learn to do it yourself MOZ, SEMRush, and AHrefs put out good content and even have some free trainings.
Maybe YT or a course, but make sure it is up to date and has current best practices.

I feel like that is something the right always nails while the left wanders around in circles (for 20+ years at this point 🙄🙃).

Yes, the changes that are happening (or will be) on Meta platforms are an issue.
And, from a small business standpoint, there’s not other viable options (yet).

This is what watching the TikTok ban happen has felt like as someone who works with small businesses.
This is how people pay their bills, support their families, and find customers (plus other ways to generate income).

I’m done downloading the TikToks I want to keep.
They are safely tucked into a Google Drive & I’ll need to deal with them at some point.
I used repurpose.io ($35/month). It is a cool tool overall (watermark free reposting across platforms), but I’m canceling now that I’ve grabbed my videos.
