25.01.2022 Well said Judy from Shiift Pty Ltd... Take it easy on yourself and your work colleagues! Such incredibly unpredictable times, and for those of us who are lucky enough to have 'work' to go to, our work and personal lives have morphed as such - how can they not have - so take all with a grain of salt.. Give grace, take time out ... ask if your colleagues are ok... ride ponies more(o wait, that is me)... And a little side note from Simon Sinek... 'The value of our lives is not determined by what we do for ourselves. The value of our lives is determined by what we do for others.' Thanks Judy + Alita for sharing! :) x

24.01.2022 Did you know that Facebook has officially removed the limit on up to 20% text on adverts. BUT does that mean, you should go all out! Facebook has discreetly removed the rule that limited text space on ad images to only 20 per cent. It means that the social networking giant will not penalise ads with more image text on them.... Facebook had a 'text overlay' tool for advertisers to ensure that text did not take up more than 20 per cent of their ads. As shared by social media expert Matt Navarra, Facebook is contacting advertisers to inform them of the update. "BIG news for Facebook advertisers. Facebook is killing its '<20% text in image' rule for ads," he tweeted recently. Facebook said that it "will no longer penalize ads with higher amounts of image text in auctions and delivery". "We will begin gradually removing external material and sources that indicate that we enforce high levels of text in images," the social network added. Earlier, the 'text overlay' tool by Facebook checked if the ad aligned with the 20 per cent restriction or not. "To create a better experience for viewers and advertisers, ads that appear on Facebook, Instagram, and the Audience Network are screened based on the amount of image text used in your ad," read the earlier Facebook rule. "Based on this review, advertisements with a higher percentage of image text may not be shown. Please note that exceptions may apply to certain ad images. For example, exemptions apply to book covers, album covers and product images". Facebook, however, said that advertisers are still encouraged to reduce the amount of text with images. "We have found that images with less than 20 per cent text generally perform better," it said. Source: Business Standard THOUGHTS? Whilst the 20% text limit has been removed, I would suggest, less is more! ;)

01.01.2022 WHAT IS A HASHTAG? Good question... It is created by including the symbol # in front of a word or words without spaces. A hashtag is a label used on social media sites that makes it easier to find information with a theme or specific content. Hashtags encourage social media users to explore content that catches their eye and interest.... For example... #lovewhitsundays #seeaustralia #iloveponies Put in other terms, imagine heaven forbid, a cyclone is looming off the coast. Should you go to Instagram, and search for #cyclonegoawayplease (or whatever the name is) you will immediately see all the most recent posts who and most popular posts from people who have used this hashtag in their posts. It is effectively like joining a conversation. ;) If you would like to find out more about hashtags and how you can make them work for your business, particularly on Instagram - consider joining me for my next Online Workshop, Thursday next week (28/08), 10am - Instagram Basics for Business! #willbegreat #alwayslearning #limitedspaces Click here to learn more or sign up...https://bit.ly/2Yi1Jpi Or if you have a question, I am ready! #youhave8seconds #kidding
