No BULLSHIT guide to Social Media & SEO We believe that the true value of creative work is borne from uncertainty, that innovative ideas come from the scrapes and cuts earned in exploring uncharted territory, and that risk is the shortest path to growth. This perspective reflects our story, sense of humor (or lack thereof), business savvy, and passion for design—all of which we love to share.

It was only then — while I was laying in the marshmallow pit, foam floofs cradling my back like an infinite number of firm, fist-sized pillows — that I finally understood the inherent value of a “selfie palace.” . ⬅️⬅️⬅️👀 Swipe for more! #candytopia #contentcentral #santamonica #marshmallowpit (at Candytopia)

#IGTIP -Make sure your account is set to PUBLIC if you are on Instagram for business. ✨ Having your account on private is like having a lock on your retail door! 🔒 People have to wait until you unlock the door and approve them let alone become a customer. Think of all the potential marketing you’re missing out on! 😳 If you’re using your IG account to promote your business or your brand, your account should be on public. 🔹 2 things I want you to know.... 1️⃣ If your account is public, anyone can like or comment on your photos and videos.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2️⃣ If your account is private, only the people you've approved as followers will be able to like or comment on your pictures and videos. If you add a hashtag to your post, the post WON'T appear publicly on the corresponding hashtag page. Only your approved followers will be able to see your posts on hashtag pages or in IG Direct messages. 🤯 Moral of the story... OPEN YOUR DOORS AND LET PEOPLE IN! 📷 @sequoiaemmanuelle 💁🏼‍♀️ @muse_mua #ctagency #IGexpert #nowyouknow #notainstagrammodel (at Los Angeles, California)

Influencer marketing has become such an excellent way to get your product in the eyes of hungry, eager and targeted audiences. But what happens when the “influencer” you are using is bullshit? 🤨 . 👉🏼Here are 3 ways to tell if the Influencer you want to work with is worth it. . 1️⃣They have REAL followers: Ok, this one isn’t always easy to spot right away, but if you take a look through their followers and you see a bunch of accounts without profile pictures, barely any posts and all foreign account names or number combinations- they most likely bought a significant portion of their followers. Why does this matter? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Well, if all of their followers are fake- no one is going to care about your product, and their promotion won’t really do anything for you. . This leads us to our next hint... . 2️⃣Their engagement (likes and comments) is extremely low compared to their number of followers. . 👉🏼Working with an influencer is like buying ad space or paying for product placement. For your ROI to be significant or even worth it, you need to find an influencer with an engaged audience. Make sure that the influencers you are scouting have lots of genuine comments and questions, not just “love it” and “cute” (those are usually fake and bots). Also, look into if brands are connecting with them. If other brands like their products and comment on their pictures- this is a sign this influencer may be sought after. . This is why #MicroInfluencers are becoming such a significant asset. Just because an account has 1M followers doesn’t mean you will see 10,000 sales. You will, however, pay a higher price tag. BUT an account with 5,000 ENGAGED followers could bring over 1,000 likes and a few hundred sales. You would also be paying much less for the placement. . 3️⃣Have they worked with legit brands? . 👉🏼Brand alignment is just as important as finding an influencer with a legitimate following. If the influencer you are considering working with doesn’t or hasn’t worked with any other products or brands that are relevant to what you do- you may end up paying more for little return. 💸 . I’m hoping @maisonvalentino uses me as an influencer soon! 😉 #colorpop #valentinoshoes (at Prague, Czech Republic)

So you wanna be an Instagram Influencer? Here are a few of my favorite takeaways... 1️⃣ If you have between 2,000-100,000 followers on Instagram, you're considered a micro-influencer. This means you have the chance to collaborate with brands to grow your business...if you know how to pitch them. 2️⃣ When it comes to pitching, focus solely on Solutions. Showcase what YOU can do for THEM...and lead with ideas you know your audience will love. Basically, when you approach brands having done your homework and offering your help, your pitch is more attractive and shows you mean business! 3️⃣ Test (test! test!) your ideas before pitching them. Brands prefer to see proof of concept (and your audience engagement) before they will sponsor a post, or pay for your endorsement. ✨ If you think you have what it takes to be an influencer, DM me. I’m working with some amazing brands that will hopefully want to collaborate with you! 🤗 If you have Instagram Influencer tips to share, or experiences you've had, or have questions, leave them in the comments and I'l do my best to answer! #influencers #ctagency #igtips (at Santa Monica, California)

Don’t change to be accepted. If you’re weird, be weird. If you’re a nerd, be a nerd. If you’re fucking hungry, don’t pretend you “just ate.” 😒 . #dontdropme #goodtimes #tuesdaythoughts (at Boston, Massachusetts)

Promised my pup, Mika, I’d get a pic with her favorite celebrity @giggyvanderpump at @vanderpumpdogs 3rd Annual #WorldDogDay. They both have alopecia which causes them not to grow hair on certain areas of their body...but that’s why they are the cutest! 🤗🐶 // @clementcharlotte @leoleplusbeau #kenvanderpump #StopYulinForever #doggies #vanderpumpdogs (at West Hollywood Park)

#IGTIP: ADD LIVE PHOTO EFFECTS ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ . With Live Photo effects in iOS 11 (iPhone) and later, your photos can be even more expressive, creative, and just plain fun. 🎉 . 1️⃣: Open the Live Photo 2️⃣: Swipe up until you see Effects 3️⃣: Choose Loop, Bounce, or Long Exposure . LOOP: Turn a Live Photo you love into a video loop. Choose an image yourself, or let Photos suggest which ones would make great loops. . BOUNCE: Make your Live Photo rock back and forth. Watch your Live Photo as it happened, then instantly play in reverse. . LONG EXPOSURE: Capture the elements of time and movement. Create a beautiful effect that used to be possible only with a DSLR camera. Fireworks become bright streaks across the night sky. A waterfall, a magical blur. . #PROTIP: Download the app Lively to export your Live Photo’s to GIF & Movie, so you can post it onto @Instagram. . On another note, what’s your favorite part of this live video? 🧐 😂#manpointinginthemirror #Boston #madscientist #bouncevideo . @ahmad.reza.saadat @andrew_shane @onzie @maisonvalentino @ahmad.reza.saadat @andrew_shane @onzie @maisonvalentino (at Boston, Massachusetts)

IG TIP: Tag 3 friends who don't put watermarks on their photos. 🤭😳🤯 . Did you know that you don't own the pictures and content you put out on social media? Anyone can take that picture and repost it. 🤷🏼‍♀️ . Sure, it’s disrespectful to post the same picture without giving someone credit, but not everyone cares to do you that favor, so do yourself a favor and PUT A WATERMARK ON IT! That way, if someone uses your picture, you can identify it by watermark! . My favorite app @watermarkpro #igtips #socialmediaexpert #qotd (at Boston, Massachusetts)
