    Can I See What Ads People are Running on Facebook? Yes, yes you can.

    September 11, 2019 /

    It feels like I’m spying every time I check out whether or not a company is running ads on Facebook. What are your thoughts? Somehow you found your way onto this blog, before you knew it was possible, did it feel like cheating to you? Because really, we can look at what our “competitor” is doing and copy her.(I put “competitor” in quotes because according to Wallace Wattles, we must move from the competitive to the creative, and I’d agree!)

    Is Your Blog Thumbnail Consistently not Showing up on Facebook? (video)

    August 20, 2019 /

    Is your blog thumbnail consistently not showing up on Facebook? Doesn’t that suck???? I let this problem go on for faaaaaaar too long. There was a period where I was very afraid of my own ignorance, and thought I could ignore what I didn’t know. Wow, was I silly! Jump to 1:30 for your solution! The first minute and a half is for those who aren’t sure if this is the problem they’re having or if it’s something else. If this doesn’t work for you, I do mention another solution at 4:02. And I would recommend checking out some other blogs or videos like these ones: This is what it…

    Do this one simple thing to increase engagement in your marketing

    March 1, 2018 /

    This is going to be SO obvious, so intuitive and so straightforward that some of you might want to just click away right now because you’re going to roll your eyes at me. (Okay, clarification, it’s not just “do a video”, so don’t get your panties in a twist, although that IS a solid suggestion…) One of the best ways to increase engagement in your marketing is to… feature other people. One of my BEST performing videos on Facebook was this one: Everyone who made their way into the video shared and tagged themselves. Any time you can interview someone (and let them know where the content is posted so…

    Katie’s Down and Dirty Guide to Clean Video on a Smart Phone

    June 25, 2017 /

    Many of us know that doing video is an important aspect to our social media strategy, but it just seems so hard and daunting! We may be able to present in front of a big group, but the thought of speaking alone to a camera is… well, scary. We think so because it’s an unknown; we don’t know how to take good video, we worry about needing to edit it etc etc… Not to fear! It’s easier than you think! Check the lighting. By a window will most likely give you your best and easiest light. Check the sound. Do you hear anything in the background? Is there a lot…

    PLEASE DEAR GOD choose “Custom Thumbnail”

    March 30, 2017 /

    A few (several?) weeks ago I posted a blog called “5 Things to consider while uploading your video”. And I cannot believe myself that I forgot to talk about Custom Thumbnails. D’OH! I think it’s okay, because “custom thumbnails” really should have its own blog anyway. So there. A thumbnail is the image you see a video as when you are scrolling on your screen. If you’ve spent ANY time on the internet interacting with videos, you might have noticed that sometimes, this cover image  NEVER even appears in the video. Back in the day, this confused me. I’d be waiting for the introduction picture to flash because back in…
