  • 136: Trigger Emotions to Get More Engagement on Your Content
    Dec 24 2024

    So many times we go on social media because we want to feel something – happiness, excitement or feeling supported are some common ones. We’ve all known that feeling of finding a reel so funny we just have to send it to someone! So, how could you start incorporating emotional triggers into your own and your clients’ content, to help kickstart more engagement?

    In this episode, we’re chatting about:

    • What emotional triggers are (and what emotions count?)
    • Which types of businesses will suit content that triggers emotions
    • How to find out which emotions you should target for your audience
    • Should you follow trends or give them a miss?

  • 134: Social Media Management Will Look Different in 2025: Get Ready For It!
    Dec 10 2024

    Social media has changed so much in the last few years, to the point that social media management is almost an entirely different role to what it used to be! That’s why in our opinion, we’re finally entering the era where it’s going to be seen as a premium, luxury service that commands a four figure price tag. What can you do then, if four figures is a world away from what you’re charging right now? Grab your headphones – and let’s start planning out what you need to do to get to that point in 2025.

    In this episode, we’re chatting about:

    • What we think social media management is going to look like in 2025
    • How you can create a better client experience to win over your clients instantly
    • Why you need to set clear expectations with your client right out of the gate
    • How you can find clients who are ready to pay you four figures per month

  • 133: Our Life-First Approach to Goal Setting: Get Everything You Want in 2025!
    Dec 3 2024

    As an employee, you’re basically told, “here’s how much money you can have” and you’re left to see whether it will go far enough to buy and do everything you want. As a freelancer – you can work backwards! Plan out the dream holiday, house extension and whatever else – then work out what you need to make. In today’s episode, we’re diving into how you can actually make the amount you need to, so that you can prioritise your life and everything in it, over your work. Let’s shake off those employee mindsets!

    In this episode, we’re chatting about:

    • Our approach to spending money and why a life-first method suits freelancers so much more
    • Getting started with planning out your goals and plans for next year
    • Working out what investments you might need to make in your business to make it work better for you
    • Figuring out how you can make more money without just working more

  • 132: A Non-Woo Way to Get Realigned and Have an Epic 2025
    Nov 26 2024

    Do you remember why you started your business? No? Here’s the episode for you! Your “why” should shape every decision you make in your business (including turning down that client who wants a million calls a month), because it’s just that – YOUR business. You’re no one’s employee and you can do whatever you like. But if you’ve lost sight of why you started, and have ended up running a business you’re falling out of love with, maybe it’s time you sat down and got yourself realigned (and not in a “woo” way. Just a normal way).

    In this episode, we’re chatting about:

    • What each of our “whys” are and how they’ve slightly changed over the years as we’ve changed
    • Benefits of freelancing vs being an employee (and a reminder that you aren’t an employee of your clients as a freelancer!)
    • Getting your business aligned with what you actually want and your interests
    • How you can share parts of your “why” with your audience to create connections

  • 130: 2024’s Social Media Icks: Our (Strong) Opinions on Shoddy Behaviour, Dodgy Trends & Crap Marketing
    Nov 12 2024

    Social media – sometimes it just feels like the land of the icks. From shady MRR to banner posts that just don’t bloody make sense, we’re honestly sick of it all and used this episode as a good excuse for a rant. There’s so much we want to leave behind us in 2024, but also a few things that we’ve really enjoyed this year that we hope to see more of in 2025, so don’t worry, it’s not all doom and gloom. You’ll want to pop the kettle on and buckle in for this one!

    In this episode, we’re chatting about:

    • Our top icks we’ve seen on social media in 2024 that we definitely don’t want to see in 2025
    • Going in on faceless marketers and why we hope the whole MRR thing dies a death
    • Getting on our high horses about banner posts
    • Speaking of horses – why we personally want to see more horses and alligators in 2025 🐴🐊 and how you can apply that to your content (no, we haven’t gone mad, promise)
    • …and so much more – there’s been a lot of icks this year!
