Business Support Tips by Hayley Osborne

Hayley's top social media tips:

The social media landscape is changing!

With the fast speed of artificial intelligence waving through the business community, it is also bringing with it a sea of sameness.

Don’t get into the habit of copying and pasting from AI. There is such a large audience of potential clients for your business sitting in the social media space silently watching you on social media, that you are potentially not capturing by not making more of an effort with your storytelling and messaging.

Let’s change the game! How about start with things like: 

• Guess what I discovered today?
• BREAKING NEWS: You're amazing!
• If I could give you one piece of advice, it would be
• Something incredible happened today
• Ever wonder why 

We need to be inviting our audience to act! Let’s make a difference to our captions and therefore our bottom line.
