Instagram test reveals direct messages may be coming to browsers Instagram has always been very much a mobile-focused offering, though it’s true to say that in recent years the team has shown a little more love for the web version of the photo-sharing service. The latest feature that could be on its way to Instagram’s web interface is direct messaging. Instagram is now conducting internal testing of private messaging for its website. If it goes live, Instagrammers will be able to send and receive direct messages via their desktop or laptop (or a mobile browser), giving the company a better chance of becoming the messaging service of choice for its community, which currently stands at more than a billion people globally. Taking Instagram’s direct messaging to the web would clearly be another step in making it easier for ‘grammers to reach their buddies, though it’s worth noting that at this stage it’s only a test and so there’s a chance it may never see the light of day. We’ll update if and when it lands.

With more than 575 million users, LinkedIn is a platform that you don’t want to ignore. Unlike Facebook and Instagram, which are primarily social platforms, LinkedIn is all business. It’s the perfect place to share insights about your business and the local housing market. And while it’s a good place to share articles you’ve read, writing your own articles is even more powerful, and here’s why: • This original content allows you to demonstrate your specific skills and expertise. • They are tied to your profile and add to your personal brand. • Potential customers will look you up before they decide whether to work with you. These articles are an opportunity to prove your value in advance. • They help you grow a follower base beyond just your personal network. • Your followers may be notified when you publish a new article. • Your network can share your articles, growing your reach exponentially. LinkedIn has a good tutorial on the process.

We mentioned follower “engagement” yesterday in our Valentine’s Day reminder post. One of the most common struggles with social media is generating engagement. As you know, engagement is incredibly important, because the more you get, the more people Instagram and Facebook show your posts to. Here are just a few tips that should help: • Post more about you, not just your business. You’ll see more likes and comments on a video of your new puppy than you will on a picture of your latest listing. • Engagement generates engagement. Comment on (not just “like”) other people’s posts and always reply to comments made to yours. Better yet, reply with a question to keep the conversation going. Set up an alert on your phone so you know immediately when someone has commented on one of your posts. • Make sure you’re following and engaging with everyone in your sphere. • Ask questions. Ask people their opinions. If you grew up in the community you serve, a great question can be something like, "Does anyone remember the name of the sandwich shop that used to be on ______ street? We used to go there after school." People love to reminisce. • Double-tapping to like an Instagram post is easier than commenting. If you post a photo of an inspirational kitchen for example, instead of asking, “Do you like it?” simply say, “Double-tap if you like it.” While liking isn't as powerful as commenting, it's still engagement! #facebook #instagram #twitter #entrepreneur #entrepreneurs #comment4comment #likes #socialmediahelp #smallbusiness #smallbusinesstips #socialmedia #socialmedianews #socialmediatips #businesstips #socialmediamarketing #socialmediastrategy #businessopportunity #businessgoals #contentmarketing #onlinemarketing #marketing #advice #business #advertising #content #strategy #trending #technews #NewLenox Source: GrammarPros (at Insight Social Media, Inc.) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btyb5BAgFdX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tofxeyrpf5s2

*** REMINDER ALERT 🚨 *** This Thursday is Valentine’s Day! If you haven’t already created your Valentine’s Day Social Media content, you still have time to prepare a great post. Need some help? Here are some ideas that’ll pull in customer engagement: • Share a list of the most romantic restaurants in your area. • For those who might prefer to skip reservations and pricey menus, share a list of casual but cool spots that are more like a special date night. Because it’s hard to know which places will have a crowd on Valentine’s Day, choose ones that are in an area with other options nearby just in case. • Share a personal story about your most memorable Valentine’s Day, or share that you and your honey prefer to celebrate at home with pasta and Netflix, or that you don’t believe in celebrating the day at all. • Run a giveaway contest and ask your followers to comment on what the best Valentine’s Day gift they’ve ever received.

“Which social media platforms should I be on?” First, give up the idea that you need to be everywhere. The key is to choose the one or two platforms that you most enjoy being on, because if you already like hanging out there, you’re more likely to commit the time and consistency to making it work for your business. Second, look at where your clients are. Social media is the best way to stay top-of-mind with your sphere, so you want to be where you can engage with them on a regular basis. The one platform I believe every agent needs to be on is LinkedIn. It goes beyond the social and allows you to also demonstrate your market knowledge and expertise. And, if you’re creating articles there (LinkedIn’s name for “blog posts”), those posts stay with your profile, creating a rich resume for people who are considering working with you. And we all know that everyone checks you out on LinkedIn before they make a decision. If you’re just starting out, focus on mastering one platform at a time. No matter what you choose, be present, share who you are and engage. #socialmediaplatforms #facebook #entrepreneur #entrepreneurs #instagram #marketing #LinkedIn #twitter #socialmediatips #advice #business #advertising #pinterest #YouTube #businessgoals #socialmediastrategy #smallbusinesstips #smallbusinesswomen #onlinemarketing #strategy #smallbusiness #socialmedia #socialmediahelp #socialmedianews #smallbusinesslife #trending #apps #NewLenox Source: GrammarPros (at Insight Social Media, Inc.) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtvsoGMFnah/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jt4fyzv6rz4f

Facebook Debunks Myth that it Limits Post Reach to 25 Friends | Social Media Today Facebook Debunks Myth that it Limits Post Reach to 25 Friends Author share No doubt you've come across this post, or one like it, in your Facebook feed at some stage. They're not hard to find - there are many examples of the same post being shared over and over on the platform if you search for a section of the text. The engagement stats on some of those posts are frightening, because anyone who's taken any time to read about Facebook's News Feed algorithm and how it works would know that this is not true. But the way in which the algorithm does work could lead people to quite believe that it might be plausible. But no - clarifying this specific viral post type, Facebook has provided a new explanation which debunks the myth: " Though multiple publications have debunked this meme, it continues to persist. So, to clear things up: No, Facebook does not set a limit on the number of people whose posts are shown in your News Feed." In further explanation Facebook says that because the posts which appear in your News Feed are ranked in the order that Facebook's system believe you’ll be most interested in seeing them, it is possible that you’ll end up seeing content from a similar list of people at the top of your News Feed - which may help fuel the “25 friends” theory. But that's not a deliberate or defined process - "if you scroll down, you’re likely to see posts from an even wider group of people." This is similar to the explanation Instagram recently provided over its own '7% post reach' viral myth - in that post, Instagram notes that what you're shown in your feed is determined by who you follow, the profiles you engage with, the time something was posted, etc. Read the full article: https://www.socialmediatoday.com/news/facebook-debunks-myth-that-it-limits-post-reach-to-25-friends/547880/ #facebook #facebookmarketing #entrepreneur #entrepreneurs #algorithm #marketing #postreach #instagram #socialmediatips #advice #business #advertising #content #contentmarketing #businessgoals #socialmediastrategy #businessopportunity #viral #onlinemarketing #strategy #smallbusiness #socialmedia (at Insight Social Media, Inc.) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btquy7TFo0f/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=koe9ku9htra7

Here's how to delete messages you regret sending on Facebook Messenger! Facebook launched a new feature that lets you delete old messages inside its chat platform, Facebook Messenger. If you've sent messages you might regret, you can easily delete select messages. Here's how: -Open the Facebook Messenger app on your phone or desktop. -Open a conversation with messages you'd like to delete. -Press and hold on a message, or select the three dots menu icon on desktop. -Select "remove" next to the message. -Select "remove for everyone" -- that makes sure that the messages disappear from the inboxes of the people you sent them to, not just from your own. You have 10 MINUTES to delete a newer message. That's it. Soon you'll have the same power that once belonged to Zuckerberg alone. That said, in our tests it looks like some Messenger users don't have the updated mobile app yet. Facebook said it'll roll out by the end of the day Tuesday.
