Sometimes it’s the most simple yet powerful tweaks that can take your content from just okay to truly engaging, and in a recent Reels Lab coaching call, we did just that. You may not realize just how much of a difference one or two small changes can make, whether it’s adding a descriptive word or slightly tweaking your messaging, to make your content feel more relatable. I’m sharing examples from various industries like travel, real estate, and home decor, and showing you exactly how these creators have crafted content that instantly captures your attention and builds a sense of belonging. We’ll talk about the importance of personal branding, yes, even if you’re a business, and why treating your business account like a personal account is key to building real community online. In this episode we’ll be covering: How small tweaks in your reels text or hooks can boost engagement and relatability. Creating content based on feelings, like nostalgia, helpfulness, or a sense of belonging. Using hyper specific, identifying words and personal brand storytelling in your content. Treat your business account like a personal account for genuine connection and community. Using Instagram stories and behind the scenes content to build stronger relationships.

You have probably heard that b-roll is boring and that’s why your content isn’t performing well. That’s simply not true. B-roll has been around forever, it’s not new, social media didn’t invent it, it’s always been there. In fact, “boring b-roll” isn’t the problem, pair it with a good trending audio and quality copy and it works . Remember, it's not about the fancy shots and edits, but the story your content tells, making people feel seen and heard. In this episode we'll be covering: Step by step instructions on how to find the perfect trending audio on Instagram to pair with your b-roll video clips, including what key indicators I look for when picking out a sound. A quick peek at what my journey into social media marketing looked like, all the way back to high school when I always had a camera in my hand. Always quality over quantity, you don't need to post daily. Instead, focus on creating quality content that resonates with your audience. B-roll is far from dead! It's a timeless tool that can add depth and context to your stories. Pair it with trending audio and captivating text, and your b-roll will be anything but boring. Keeping your marketing strategies timeless with content that's simple and specific, yet shareable. Make them feel heard, introduce humor, or share helpful tips to build genuine connections.

Can you remember why we all hopped on social media in the first place? I think we've strayed a bit too far with all the perfectly curated content, replicating the endless cycle of tips and value posts that sometimes, let's be honest, feel a bit impersonal. So, let’s talk about the shift back to basics, where real, human connections spark genuine engagement. Whether it's a simple story about a surprise happy hour at home or sharing those seemingly mundane moments that make us who we are, it's time to bring YOU back into the social media equation. In this episode we’ll be covering: The real purpose of social media and why you need to share your personal stories and experiences. Trading in perfectly curated grids to embrace storytelling and sharing real, less edited content. Sharing personal stories from your daily life or business that maintain the human element to connect and engage with others. What to pin at the top of your grid, including my favorite!
