How-To Link your Instagram Account to your Facebook Business Page
As a business owner I like to save time and consolidate where I can. I’m sure you can relate. Unless you have a giant marketing team, you have to do it all yourself, from making the content specific for each platform to tagging, describing and posting it. It’s overwhelming! Of course there are tools out there to help make the process easier, but it’s hard to not drown in all the apps or in the various learning curves. Plus, a lot of the high-functionality ones cost precious dough. Thankfully, there are little shortcuts. And many types of content that would be good on Instagram are also good on Facebook (think…

Video Marketing Inspiration: Create a space you love
“I don’t want to do a video, my space is a mess” I get this a lot. And I get it! I look back on old videos where I “Just did it” because I was being pressured (Hi Sandi. 😉 ) and while it was good to get the video out there, I cringe at my background. How messy and unprofessional! There have been times where I too, have declined to do a video because my background was just SO not compelling. Ugh! So how do we rectify our feelings about our surroundings and our feelings about our videos? I know someone (*cough* Sandi, I’m looking at you again!) would …

In 2016, Digiday reported that 85% of Facebook video is watched without sound. Insert captions! You’ve watched plenty of videos with captions.

“A moment’s insight is sometimes worth a life’s experience” – Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr The day I woke up and was to meet with my resident agent to sign my business LLC, I had no idea what my business would be called. For the past 2 or 3 years, I had been working part-time doing videos and video marketing, not really with a name, but calling it “Katie Curtis Video Marketing” for lack of anything else and because there was pressure on me to call what I did something. Aaaaand I kind of hated that name. Scratch that, I hardcore hated the name. It still makes me go “ick” to…
Do this one simple thing to increase engagement in your marketing
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.

PLEASE DEAR GOD choose “Custom Thumbnail”
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…
