I recently went to Social Media Marketing World 2019 in San Diego and I wanted to share a little of what I kept hearing the entire time - the importance of using video on Social Media.

It was pretty exciting because it basically validated everything I know and teach . . . but I thought I would use a mashup of what many influential people in the Social Media space were saying and bring it straight to you. Because, hey, that is what I am here for, right?

Biggest Takeaway You Don’t Want To Miss:

70% of your content should be video, those videos should be emotional, relatable (aka NOT perfect), less than 30 seconds, designed for sound off, square, and mobile-ready. Less is more! You do not need to post every day, you just have to post quality content and spread it around.

Hey everyone, Bella Vasta here, the coach with Jump Consulting. I help take pet sitting and dog walking businesses and help them scale. I want to tell you today, if you've been stressing out about social media or how to actually get a handle on it or how to stay on top of all the things, I just came back from Social Media Marketing World — an incredible conference put on by Social Media Examiner — and I've got a couple of things to tell you. I want to let you know 2019 is very, very different.

We could get like 500 to 1,000 views on our website and we could see everything immediately go up. It's not like that anymore. In fact, if you're posting any links on your Facebook page, you're doing yourself a disservice.

Even Instagram right now — it’s like the gold rush. Instagram is exploding,
