Hitting a pause button ⏸ as an influencer, what will happen then … The season of summer vacations is here, we all want to take a break, relax and do nothing. I even took a break from LinkedIn just because I felt like it … But, for those whose bread and butter is the digital hustle, a social media siesta isn’t all sunsets and smoothies. So what happens when an influencer takes that pause, and specifically an unplanned one; Taking a break means: ↳ Drop in following growth or even a decrease in follower count: the numbers will start melting away like ice cream ↳ Loss of momentum: a break can interrupt the growth momentum, slowing down any further activity on the channel / profile ↳ Engagement Ebb: since you are not serving new content, people are not engaging, so the channels' statistic will change and they will drop ↳ Reduced visibility: algorithms favour active user on any platform, long breaks might mean that you would basically need to start from scratch and gain the trust of the algorithm again. ↳ Partnerships Pause: the longer the break, the quieter your inbox will get. Brands do chase active channels who have the audiences attention After every break we take, we need to recover, for us dear colleagues this might mean getting back on track with the working schedules, for influencers this might look slightly different → →→ So, how to return with Pizzazz , very simple: ↳ Rebuilding and reboot phase: investing time in rebuilding the presence and re-engaging with the audience ↳ Consistency is key here: create stability going back to regular posting will help in showing up in the feed of the followers, and in the suggested section. And basically that's it for your comeback, no need to stress! Remember, keeping your sanity and your mental health in check is the most important thing here. Just take that break! 🤔 What advice would you give to influencers that took that well deserved vacation without scheduling content? #influencermarketing

December is here, and the festive season is in full swing! But managing your socials while juggling this super busy period can feel like a lot. So, here's 5 tips to keep your socials merry and bright! 1. Plan Ahead: (This is the key!) Use a content calendar to map out your posts for the month. Schedule them now, so you can relax later! (Pro tip: Mix festive cheer with your regular brand messaging.) 2. Recycle Your Gold: Repurpose your best-performing posts or transform old blogs into holiday-themed gems. Save time and stay relevant. 3. Batch Create Content: Design and write multiple posts in one go, it’s way more efficient! Plus, you’ll avoid last-minute stress. 4. Engage in Real Time: While scheduling helps, don’t forget to hop on your socials to reply to comments and join trending conversations. Authenticity wins always! 5. Keep It Light: Festive content should be fun and heartwarming. Share behind-the-scenes moments, team celebrations, or giveaways to spread the cheer! This is a great time to share more personal posts.

No More Endless Scrolling—Here’s My Festive Plan This festive period, I’ve decided to focus more on LinkedIn. No TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook, at least not as much. I might still visit those platforms occasionally, but not nearly as much time as I used to spend there. Why? Well, it’s the season of pepper dem. Fine pictures in even finer backgrounds, extravagant outings, and flashy spending designed to make others feel small or like life’s best moments are out of reach. I’m not about that energy right now. Instead, I’m choosing what feels more realistic and valuable for me: LinkedIn. This is the time to share my knowledge, learn from others, and continuously grow by learning, unlearning, and relearning. It’s about aligning myself with opportunities—positioning my personal brand where potential clients and meaningful connections can find me. Let me be honest, though. Every year, I make grand promises to myself—resolutions for self-improvement, growth, and focus. But the energy of the season sweeps me away. Suddenly, I’m in “pepper mode,” imagining all the outfits I’ll wear to slay, the gifts I’ll give and receive, and the plates of rice and stew very plenty. It’s all adrenaline, all excitement. And before I know it, Boom! the reality of the post-holiday blues hits. If you’re like me, scrolling until your glasses come off, only to sit there feeling like you’re not doing enough with your life, this is your cue to pause. Take a deep breath, and focus on what truly matters and is attainable. Now, don’t get me wrong o. I love fun! In fact I’m the queen of vibes and tasted all forms of enjoyment. But I’ve learned there’s a line: if it’s about toxic comparisons or making someone else feel bad, I’m out. Agbalam oso. This time, I’m staying grounded, having my kind of fun, and choosing joy over pressure. Lobatan!!!

🎄 Christmas! - the time of year your bank account shrinks, and your social calendar explodes. As we navigate this festive minefield of shopping, socialising, and feasting, it’s common to feel a little frazzled. Research has found that the holiday season is one of the six most stressful life events we go through, but it doesn't have to be. Here are some ways to not just survive, but thrive and bring in 2025 feeling energised and on track to reach your goals.   📅 Get organised Between work parties, family catch-ups, and obligatory gatherings with distant relatives you only see once a year, the silly season is a whirlwind - it’s enough to make you want to retreat to a deserted island. If you want to survive relatively unscathed, planning ahead is a must. With the social calendar filling up quickly, it's easy to overcommit and feel a little stretched. Rather than a constant schedule, choose the events you REALLY want to attend and think about each invitation before RSVP (you can say no sometimes). Also, allow for some guilt-free ‘down time’.    🛍️ Shopping X-mas Shopping can be chaotic and frenzied! Channel your inner Santa Claus and make a list. And yes, check it twice! A good list keeps you focused and reduces the chances of impulse buys—like that life-sized inflatable Santa that seemed like a good idea at the time. (Spoiler alert: it wasn’t.) Consider shopping online, too. Just remember: delivery cut-off dates are real! Don’t be the person frantically searching for gifts at 9 PM on Christmas Eve. 🎁 Presents Let’s talk presents. It’s lovely to give and receive gifts, but does EVERY adult really need a pair of socks? Combat the gift-giving madness by doing a Secret Santa. Set a budget and unleash your creativity. Who doesn’t want a mysterious gift that could range from a novelty toilet brush to a box of chocolates? 👨👩👧👦 Family Family gatherings can be a delightful mix of love, laughter, and the occasional argument that would make for great reality TV. . Before the big day, set some ground rules. e.g. No politics, and absolutely no charades unless everyone is fully prepared to participate. If tensions start to rise, a little humour can go a long way. 🍗 Share the load If you’re hosting this year, congratulations! You’re officially in charge of managing the chaos. But you don’t have to shoulder the entire load. Encourage everyone to bring a 'special’ dish. Not only does it lighten your load, but it also allows everyone to show off their culinary skills (or lack of). Plus, you might discover a special potato salad is actually a hidden gem. Survive and thrive At the end of the day embrace the chaos, lean into the hilarity of when things don’t go to plan, don’t take it all too seriously and be prepared to step back a little when you need a break. Here’s to a joyful festive season filled with laughter and the wonderful chaos that is Christmas. We’ll catch you on the other side. Cheers! https://lnkd.in/gk4SP_g4

You know that feeling of trying to be in not just two places at once, but more like five? The calm and collected professional. The mum at the school Christmas concert, cheering on the kids. The one trying to create magical Christmas memories. If you're like me and feeling more frazzled than dazzled, you're not alone. When I spoke with some of my wonderfully strong friends, they admitted they're feeling the same. And you know what? Just knowing we're not alone in this frazzled state makes it feel a little better already. So, let's take a collective deep breath. Make that to-do list—but not the kind that resembles a never-ending scroll of unrealistic goals. Sip your coffee while placing that Amazon order or tackling the overflowing inbox. And remember, it's okay to carve out a little time for YOU. Book that hair appointment. Finally try that yoga class you've been eyeing since last month. Self-care isn't a luxury; it's a necessity. If you're steering the ship, you need to be steady and strong. The chaos will still exist, but let's find ways to embrace the moment, celebrate what we are achieving, and give ourselves some grace. One step at a time. We're only human, after all. What are your survival tips for staying sane during the festive season?

Sundays! Most people chill, but for me, it's like a social media mini-workday.  Don't get me wrong, I love the break from the daily posting rush. But ditching social media entirely? No way! Mornings start with a quick scroll through Instagram and Linkedin, like getting a caffeine fix for my brain. I see what's trending and jot down cool content ideas in a notebook. Sometimes, a walk in nature sparks inspiration too! Afternoons are for checking on what worked last week. Think of it like a social media report card. I see what posts people liked and what flopped. This helps me plan the upcoming week's content. Speaking of plans, I might tweak the pre-scheduled stuff – maybe a hot topic needs a quick post, or maybe timings need a change. While Sundays might seem "post-free," it's not all work! I hunt for interesting articles, videos, or even funny reels from others to share with our followers.  Sharing is caring, right? By evening, I hit the pause button. Social media can be draining, and even superheroes need to recharge. So, I hang out with friends, read a book, or just relax. A well-rested me is a creative and strategic me, ready to rock the social media world next week!  . . . . Bharti Singh #personalbranding #socialmediamanager #socialmediastratgist
