How do you pick the perfect audio for your social media post? These days it's hard to know exactly what audio to use. Listen as we discuss voice overs, music, mixing both or simply using natural sounds.

Dom and Vik are very different in their music selection yet both have done fairly well in picking the right track.

Check out our latest episode and make sure to follow along on Instagram.

With the creation of Meta verified, sponsored posts, boosting posts and many other ways to grow your following, what is organic reach anymore these days?

If you put any money behind growing, can it still be considered organic? We discuss this week and the answer may surprise you.

The boys chat about everything in this episode.

Wrestle Mania, Blue Check Marks and Jen Woodhouse.

With Meta Verified available in the United States, we are seeing more and more blue check marks. Does it devalue itself simply by being available to everyone?

Will Jen Woodhouse listen to this episode? Probably not but if she does, Jen, you are being invited to co-host a future episode? What do you think?

We are also looking for people to send us their episode intros so we can use them in future episodes!

We've all heard the rumour that photos are back and performing well on Instagram. Instagram itself admitted that they over invested in videos a bit too much and realize that lots of people still enjoy photos.

Listen to this episode as the boys discuss their opinions on the topic and share actual insights from their recent photo posts compared to reels.

Everyone wants more reach and exposure on Instagram and social media so check out our other episodes too. Catch up on old episodes, share on your social media and leave us reviews.

You probably heard the rumours about being able to buy the blue checkmark on Instagram very soon.  The truth is there is a lot more to the Meta Verified Service than just a checkmark. The service will be available soon in North America.  

In this episode we discuss all the services that you will receive with the Meta Verified checkmark.  We also discuss our personal thoughts and most importantly we will tell you whether or not we will sign up for the service.

Join Dom and Vik as they light heartedly discuss Instagram, dad life, content creation and the struggles associated with trying to balance it all.

Everyone needs to know a few things about being on social media.  The first thing is knowing why you are on social media and why are you posting??  The second most important thing is to know your target audience.   It is crucial to know who you are targeting with your content and how to reach them.  

We have a guest host this week, Lesley from @oakandfeatherdecor.  We discuss reaching your target audience on Social media and Instagram.  Listen as Lesley explains her tactics including a "split strategy".  Listen to our latest episode and hopefully you can snag a few take away points and level up your social media reach and start targeting your desired audience.  

All three of us are on Instagram, Tik Tok and YouTube.
