we’ve created an IG Broadcast channel

I recently created an Instagram Broadcast channel for my Instagram creator account. Since my LWPblog account is considered a business account I can’t create a broadcast channel yet. Hopefully, they will create them for business in the future. The channel will share various topics and possible links for programs that may interest some of you. I will also be able […]

The like for a like trend is back

I had an interesting DM on Instagram over the weekend. I had someone request I like 10 of their posts because they liked 10 of mine. I was a bit confused and even dumbfounded by this request. I’m all for supporting others but… I’m all for supporting other content creators but when you show up in my DM’s asking for

With everyone using Social media these days you may be contacted by many folks. Every platform has messaging. Instagram has direct messaging. Well, I had an interesting DM today.

Is there a Key to getting Reel views?

I don’t know about anyone else but the fact that Instagram has really started to push users to create reels is just silly. To me, the same thing is going on over on YouTube with their Shorts feature. I won’t even get started on Tiktok. I know a lot of people like to watch videos as a form of entertainment,

It’s 2023 but Sugar daddies are still making the rounds on social media

Social media always amuses me at one time or another. Recently I had a new comment on Instagram. That’s nothing new lately it’s been a few spam comments. I gave it a gander and what did I see? I see someone had commented on a post from 2019. The topic was Sugar Daddies. And guess what? The commenter claimed to

It’s a new year but IG DM’s remain the same

It’s 2023 and we are barely into our first week of the year. That being said Instagram direct messages never seem to disappoint. I had an interesting DM interaction recently that left me puzzled and suspicious. I had a feeling the chat would have progressed into a relationship scam before long. I’ll explain a bit more about that later.

Please don’t pay for Instagram shout outs

There is never a shortage of companies (i use that term loosely) that want to help you promote your business via Instagram. Most are simple repost accounts that share your photo and add a link to your profile. This is stated to give you “organic growth”. I had a person reach out to me recently to try to help promote

There’s a new Venmo scam

I recently saw a news report stating that there is a new Venmo scam making the rounds via social media. Currently, it seems to be targeting Instagram users. As we know social media users are not strangers to being targets for scams. The most common scams are that you’ve won a prize from a giveaway or brand.

In the past, I’ve shared about social media marketing tactics and spam. Well, it seems there is a new way marketing sites are trying to get your money. You may be asking how? Well, I’ll tell you sites are charging to help you become verified on social media platforms. I will admit this isn’t a new practice but it seems

Instagram: Think twice before holding a giveaway

header image provided by Pixabay So as we know many people or brands like to hold giveaways. Well this isn’t anything new yet there have been some interesting things happen on social media lately.

Instagram: The bots and spam messages keep coming

header image provided by Pixabay Okay, I recently shared about third party follow requests. Well, guess what? They just keep on coming. I had three within a two-hour span today for a brand seeking brand ambassadors. Again you’d think the brand would reach out to people not have some blank or promoter account do it.

Instagram: What’s with all the third party follow requests?

header image provided by Pixabay I don’t know about anyone else but boy have i been having numerous spam DM’s lately via Instagram. Thankfully the sugar daddies have stopped for the time being.

Are you having the same followers refollow you?

header image provided by Pixabay In yesterday’s post, I mentioned that I’ve had a few people request follow backs or the (dreaded) follow for a follow. Again i understand everyone hopes to boost their social media presence and appeal. Yet I’ve noticed something else as well. I’ve noticed a few repeat followers.

Buying engagement services isn’t the answer to Social Media growth

header image provided by Pixabay I think many of us who use social media tend to think our profile growth may be slow or maybe your not having any growth at all. Like with most social sites they are ever-changing. Maybe you have a small blog (like me) or you’re a business. Even if you’re a content creator you still
