Being Your Authentic Self
Authenticity rules on social plus some sales, some finds, and other random (but authentic) recommendations!
Let’s talk about the benefits of speaking your truth. It is never a bad idea to be real when there is already so much fake in this world. Why not just be yourself? Don’t take it from me. Take it from Oprah:
"I had no idea that being your authentic self could make me as rich as I've become. If I had, I'd have done it a lot earlier." - Oprah
As always, authenticity wins! If you are real and yourself, you will always succeed. Being real and authentic on social media can cultivate genuine connections and trust with your audience. It allows you to showcase your unique personality, values, and experiences, which can resonate more deeply with followers and lead to meaningful engagement. Additionally, authenticity can help you stand out in a crowded digital landscape and build a loyal community around your content.
Today's newsletter will include the usual tips and tricks for Instagram below the fold, including a new update that actually prioritizes real authentic content.
And on the theme of being authentic this week, let's talk about affiliate links. Pretty much everyone I know knows that I am a link sharer. Side note: you will never hear me use the word gatekeeping. It’s my pet peeve. When did this become a word other than the keeper of a gate? Can we not with that word? Ok, moving on. I was talking to a stylist this week and sharing the benefits of affiliate marketing. As someone who is constantly sharing links with friends, clients, etc., the future is making those links make money for you. This is why I spend time working on and curating my own Amazon Links and my Shop My links. As I say to my clients and friends, we are not leaving one penny on the table! With that in mind, I am sharing some great ideas for the mom in your life, and if that mom happens to be a Taurus, like I am, these are great birthday presents too:)
