Finally! Big new Instagram feature + the easiest LinkedIn post ??

Stick around for the Social Media News to Use below.

You’re not bragging! You telling yourself that is keeping you small. Never be ashamed to own your expertise.

You’ve studied, grinded, learned, grown, and mastered skills that others need. But they don’t know you have those skills that they need unless you tell them.

I have personally from start to finish created and posted tens of thousands of social media posts.

That’s not including the social content that I’ve overseen created.

At one point, when I was the social media manager at WBTV News, I was creating 40+ posts a day across multiple platforms and, if it was a heavy breaking news day, that number could easily double.

My time as a social media professional (12+ years) and my vast hands-on work make me an expert.

I have the content creation experience, the communications experience, the teaching experience, the leadership experience to back up the claim that I am one of the best at what I do.

I won’t shrink or not say that because I’m scared of how it might come across because I know it to be 1,000% true.

What do you know to be 1,000% true for you? Something that nobody can take away from you because you’ve built your career to this point through passion, determination, and smarts?

If you're not yet ready to post about it publicly, I’d LOVE it if you would be bold enough to reply and brag about yourself and tell me what you’re an expert in.?

INSTAGRAM: BIG new feature!! Hooray! Schedule a picture, carousel, or Reel up to 75 days in advance directly in the Instagram app.
