Social Media Strategies Summit

DECEMBER 1, 2023

It’s fair to say 2023 has been a busy year in the social media world. So much has happened that Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter in late 2022 feels like ancient history. So we thought it was a good time to round up some of the biggest social media moments of the last 12 months, from the neverending viral hype train surrounding the Barbie movie to those horrendous big red boots all the influencers wore for approximately two weeks back in February.

If you pass purchase events to Meta via the pixel and API, you may be aware of a challenge: What do you do when the value of the purchase is variable? Here’s an example of the purchase event code and parameters that you’d use when you know that the price of a product is $147… fbq('track', 'Purchase', { value: 147.00, currency: 'USD' }); This is great when the loading of a specific page (like a confirmation page) means that someone purchased a product for $147.

But it can be quite costly, especially if your team fails to continuously invest time into fine-tuning your strategy.

Automation is a close friend of any social media marketing strategy—Instagram included. This is because automation can help take care of mundane tasks, like scheduling, compiling reports and even responding to common questions asked in DMs. However, there still needs to be a human element to your Instagram strategy. Instagram automation can alleviate some of the repetitive tasks while allowing your social mean more time to develop creative campaigns.

I’ve been pretty open about my struggles over the past three years. The start of the pandemic sent me on (or accelerated) a motivational spiral that led to two very trying years in business. A year ago, I made the commitment to short-form video with the full belief that it would turn things around. While I’d repeatedly get reminders that it was working, it felt like blind faith at times since things weren’t turning around financially.

It was 2015, and I was in my first year of college when I learned about LinkedIn. Like any normal first-year, I rushed into the platform to create my account to enter the corporate world.  Four years passed, and my account was still sitting brand new with just my name and four or five connections.  Then, per my career objective to become a well-known writer at that time, I had to send my resume and a link to my LinkedIn profile for a gig at a very popular online magazine.

This is the biggest mistake new content creators make. I have a unique perspective because I’ve succeeded as a blogger and short-form video creator. I also have the perspective of quitting at other content too soon. From the start, new creators connect their efforts to revenue. Well, you’re not going to immediately create a popular podcast, a high-traffic blog, or a viral video channel.
