Staring at a blank screen and hoping something comes to you?

Yeah I’ve been there.

But we’re done wasting time. Here some sure fire ways to get the wheels turning!

1- Researching as a SMM is really scrolling until something interests or inspires you, saving it, and scrolling some more. But dang if that isn’t the best perk of a job I’ve ever had!

2- While some national holidays and whatnot can be a little silly - and there’s no shortage of them - some are super great content ideas for certain brands. Of course, it really depends on the image and vibes of the brands you work with if this will be something appropriate for them, but it’s a fabulous little tool.

3- Fan Favorites are MY favorites - because my audience is telling me EXACTLY what they want to see more of from me or my client. Yes, likes, views and engagement are always our goal - but when we reach them it also cracks a certain little code for us and gets you one step closer to having a perfect strategy. In the early days of managing a social account, this is really the best and most precious tool a social media manager has.

Follow for more like this - and of course, DM me if you want someone to do this for you.

If I had to start over in social media, here’s exactly what I’d do.

I get asked this all the time — whether you’re:
• just getting started
• pivoting to a new niche
• or rebuilding your brand…

This is the no-fluff strategy I’d follow today as a freelance social media manager.

🔹 Build your own account or offer strategic free work
🔹 Apply to jobs outside your title — marketing assistant led me to brand manager
🔹 Surround yourself with people doing it better
🔹 Use trends with purpose
🔹 Think like a business owner, not just a content creator
