In this episode, I'll be sharing five ways I plan my content on Instagram, how I organise it and where I get inspiration from. I talk about the ideal frequency of posting, how a reliable structure can help us create a solid grid, the importance of having posts ready in advance and making sure I use hashtags and captions properly.

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- Why I choose a structured grid

- Why I only prepare 4 days in advance

- The benefits of using the notes app

- Where I get my Reels inspo

- How to edit in advance

Showing up consistently on Instagram can bring a lot of value to our brand, but it requires some effort. That is why it's recommended to tackle it down with a strategy in place, otherwise, we'll struggle with every post. The more structured and organised we are for our business IG the more fun & easier it will be - resulting in us enjoying showcasing our business and reaping the rewards with sales.

Today's episode is slightly different because we touch on a frequently overlooked aspect of having a business: dealing with chronic pain or health issues while being the head of a company. I suffer from endometriosis, fibromyalgia and IBS. As I lay on the bed crippled by the pain, I thought it would be a good idea to share what I've learned and how I organise my company around these chronic pain issues. In this episode, we'll go through my five top tips on how to run a business while dealing with chronic pain.  

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- How delegating can help us navigate the days, we can't show up in our business - About the multiple benefits from organising our workweeks in advance

- How CBD help me diminish the pain and how it affects my mood, my energy and productivity

- Why it is crucial to focus on income-generating activities in our daily routines

- The importance of factoring in rest and self-care constantly and not only when we are poorly

Sometimes it is hard to change our mindset and our perception of work. Most of us who come from the corporate world, have this preconceived idea that life is about working all the time, and we end up considering rest and self-care as a luxury or something linked with holidays and vacations. We must change that mentality for our mental and physical health and incorporate resting as part of our daily routines.

Here are 3 TOP TIPS to help you achieve this:

1. Use the mute function - Such a handy feature for whilst you’re taking some time off - Mute! You can hide stories & posts from anything or anyone that sends you into work mode or makes you feel a bit shitty meaning you’re free to enjoy socials without being reminded of work, work, work. Remember to unmute once you’re back in action 

2. Inform your clients you’re taking time off - They aren’t expecting you to prove you’re superhuman, everyone needs a break & this is the perfect time to thank them for all their support & inform them you’re going to be taking a back seat on your socials over the Christmas period.

3. Batch your content - Because making pieces of content one by one is so 2018… Get ready for how you’re going to content create moving forward by batching up your content for the last chunk of December

Joining me in this episode is the amazing Alexandria Maria, a Dream Alchemist & Empowerment Coach 

Together, we discuss how as business owners we can overcome imposter syndrome.

Alex shares three tips to minimise imposter syndrome & describes five signs to detect we are suffering from it. We explore imposter syndrome & how it is more common than we think, some of its root causes, & how it affects our lives & business.


What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- How social media contributes to increasing imposter syndrome among business owners
- The difference between feeling an imposter & being an imposter & how to flip it into something positive
- Why imposter syndrome is actually a sign of growth

Suffering from imposter syndrome is common among business owners, especially among women. 90% of them suffer from it & the number is even bigger for women of colour & the LGBTQ community. 
Although we can mitigate imposter syndrome's effects, we can't eliminate them. We must rather look at them as a sign of growth, because we feel imposters when we do things we never did before, which is how evolution happens. 

We can’t wait for you to listen to this episode-it’s definitely one you will enjoy & resonate with.

Today, I'll share everything you need to know about how to add a link to your Instagram stories the right way. This feature used to be available only for users with over ten thousand followers, but now they made it available for everyone. We will go through the best way of creating engaging stories and the things you must put in place before thinking of adding a link to them. 

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- Why do the views on your stories might decrease after adding a link to them

- Why it is crucial to generate engagement with your stories

- The three kinds of stories that generate more engagement

- What is the Instagram version of clickbait and why it is never a good idea to use them

Stories are one of the most powerful tools to generate sales. Because of that, every online business uses them, which means your stories must face a long queue before they get in front of your audience. That is why you must make sure your stories are engaging, impossible to ignore, and demand from people to interact with them.

Today's episode is very special as I'm joined by the amazing Zee, a Natural Psychic. It’s a gift that runs in her family, and she received it from her Nan, a very talented psychic herself. Zee is also a Spiritual Coach and a Natural Empath. 

In this episode, Zee shared the five points of her Full Moon Ritual to attract wealth, security and clarity. Zee also offered a couple of powerful tips on manifesting the things we want for our lives and our business. 

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- Why Zee had to learn to shut down her gifts in certain situations

- The five steps of Zee's Full Moon ritual: Forgive, Release, Cleanse, Gratitude, Manifestation

- Why we need to learn to grow forgiveness within us

- How gratitude helps us move forward in our path of growth

- What is the best way to manifest the things we want, and why we must know why we need those things

Although Zee tried to ignore the things she felt as a child, they were so strong when she got into her twenties that she couldn't ignore them anymore. As a natural empath and being directly connected with what people around her felt, she had to learn how to switch off for moments to avoid being constantly channelling. Through her readings, she offers guidance to those wanting to become the best version of themselves.

I’m joined again by my Marketing Manager, Ayse. We just returned from our trip to Ibiza, where we hosted the three-day Beauty Boss Challenge. It inspired us to create another free training, 3 Steps To Inject Sales into Your Beauty and Aesthetics Business. 

As we are so close to Black Friday, we thought of sharing the "behind the scenes" of how we prepare for it at Socialista Media. So tune in, and learn about what you need to know before the biggest cash injector of the year. 

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- The three steps to inject sales into your beauty business

- Is a 10% discount a Black Friday discount?

- How we can use a slight discount to upsell your clients with other products

- How to decide strategically how long your Black Friday promotions will last

- What channels we should use to promote your Black Friday sales

If done properly, Black Friday represents the most significant cash injection of the year, especially for small businesses. Being ready for it, preparing our business and having a solid strategy in place beforehand is crucial to achieving our sales goals and surpassing them.

I'm super excited to bring the first guest to the show, my Marketing Manager, Ayse. We are thrilled to meet in person after almost two years to host the Beauty Boss Challenge from October 19th to 21st. 

In this episode, we go through the importance of having a strategy in place, especially before holidays and other dates with the potential of generating a cash flow injection. We also talk about followers, likes, DMs, and give you a snippet of what you can expect from the Beauty Boss Challenge. 

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- Why you need to have a strategy in place before events like Black Friday to avoid falling flat

- What we can learn from last week's social media outage

- Why having more likes and followers does not necessarily increase revenue

- What we’ll cover in our Beauty Boss Challenge

An entrepreneur's life can be so busy that we barely have time to breathe. One week before Black Friday, it is common to realise that we don't have anything planned for it, and we knew it was coming. Having a solid plan, a well-planned strategy around those dates will not only save you tons of stress but also generate great cash injections.
