Hit The Mic With The Stacey Harris

One of the most common Instagram questions I hear is about scheduling to Instagram. Lots of tools are offering ways, but here is the deal, there is not a way to automatically post content through a third party tool. That however doesn't mean that scheduling is impossible.  That's what we're talking about today. I'm sharing a bit more about what I mean when I say it's flat out not possible, and 2 ways that you can still streamline it and use scheduling when it comes to Instagram (fyi this is a shout out to two of my favorite tools and how they work).   Resources Join us Backstage Later Schedugr.am Connect with Me Get YOUR question on a future episode Email me at hello@thestaceyharris.com Tweet with me and include #HittheMic Be sure to leave your review on iTunes or Stitcher for a shoutout on a future showSend us a textTired of your podcast feeling like just another thing on your to-do list?

I've known and worked with Julie Cottineau for a few years now. I worked with her on her social media as she was focusing on social media growth at the time because she knew she wanted to write a book. I'm proud to say her social media following (and value) has done nothing but grow the last few years, but even better than that yesterday she released her book.  Her book is twist: How Fresh Perspectives build Breakthrough Brands, and we're talking about it today. You likely know this already but I'm obsessed with good branding, it's something I'm always thinking about always looking at how I can improve because I think there is such a deep connection between a solid brand and your social media voice. They have to be connected, because social media is such a common touch point for your community.  If you're struggling with your brand and how to get somewhere good, check out this book, it's going to be a game changer.    Resources Join us Backstage Twist: How Fresh Perspec

I'm seeing a lot of talk in Facebook groups about ditching Facebook pages. That they don't have any reach, no one is seeing the content, and that people refuse to give any money to greedy Facebook.Here's the thing, Facebook, like you, is a business. In business the goal is to make money, and to make money Facebook needs to protect the users and the experience they have on the site. That means prioritizing content that adds value, and separating the serious from the not serious by prioritizing sales content from those willing to invest. So by ditching your page, throwing all in on your group and not investing you're costing yourself more than you're costing Facebook. ResourcesJoin the VIP CommunityHit the Mic Backstage3 Ways to Grow Your List with Facebook - Free TrainingConnect with MeGet YOUR question on a future episodeEmail me at hello@thestaceyharris.comTweet with me and include #HittheMicBe sure to leave your review on iTunes or Stitcher for a shoutout on a future showSend us a t
