5 Social media management tools I recommend for busy baby consultants & coaches. Managing your brand's social media doesn't have to be as hard as getting a toddler to eat broccoli. Here are 5 tools to make your life easier than a self-rocking bassinet: 🦉 Hootsuite: The Swiss Army knife of social media tools. Schedule posts, track mentions, and analyse performance, all while heating a bottle one-handed. 🎨 Canva: Create graphics faster than a baby can fill a diaper. Perfect for those 'I need a post NOW' moments between meltdowns. 📊 Sprout Social, Inc.: Get insights deeper than the pile of laundry in your hamper. You’ll understand your audience better than you understand your baby's first words. 📸 Buffer: Plan your social feed to be as perfectly curated as those 'Pinterest moms' make their lives look. (We know the reality is different!) 🎥 Pexels: Because nobody has time to whip out a phone faster than a toddler can say 'no' to get those perfect videos. Bonus Tool: ☕ Coffee. Lots and lots of coffee. Which tool sounds like a lifesaver to you? Or do you have a secret weapon to add to the list? Share in the comments! P.S. Need a hand juggling all these tools?

To get noticed on social media, you should... Create content that's more addictive than a toddler's favourite snack! And that is what will help you rise to the top faster than a parent's stress levels during the 'terrible twos'. 😅 How do I work this magic? It all starts with research (because winging it is so last season)... Here's the scoop from the trenches: 🛑 59% of followers think there's too much advertising on social (Like too many 'Baby Shark' reruns, am I right?) 🛑 52% of social media users are tired of self-promotional brand content (Almost as tired as new parents) 🛑 76% unfollow brands because of misleading information or clickbait hooks ↳ Translation: Don't just advertise on every post, and absolutely don't jump on the clickbait bandwagon. It's as appealing as a soggy nappy. So, what do parents actually want from brands? 👀 🟢 56% want content that tells or teaches them something new (Like how to remove crayons from walls... asking for a friend) 🟢 55% want content that makes them laugh (Because if we don't laugh, we'll cry... again) 🟢 36% want to feel something, and 47% want to be inspired (Other than feeling the need for more coffee, that is) ↳ The secret sauce? Be as HUMAN and RELATABLE as that one mum at playgroup who always has snacks AND wet wipes. Armed with these insights, Cabomba Content can help you land your dream customers faster than a toddler can empty a toy box! How did I get these fancy stats? 🤓 I raided Hootsuite's social media consumer report. Reports are a marketer's best friend - like a baby monitor for your brand's online presence! So, stop throwing content at the wall like spaghetti. → Do your research. → Create amazing, sharable content. → And build an online network that actually cares (and might even share their last cookie with you). I'll drop the link to the report in the comments. Check it out - it's an easier read than 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' for the 100th time! 📚 #hootsuite #parentingbrands #babybrands #socialmediastats #cabombacontent #marketingmadness #socialmediatips

IG Reel Tips: Here are 7 faceless B-roll ideas for your reels 😶 Do you struggle to post reels? We help a mix of clients create monthly social calendars that fit their business needs—electricians, CPAs, towns, and insurance companies. To ensure success and comfort, we focus on making content easy to produce. (And—to be very clear—showing faces does work better in the algorithm, but we get it—getting people to be on camera is easier said than done 😅) When we build social calendars, we create content categories, define the goals of each post, provide direction on how to craft a reel, photo, or graphic, and supply hooks and CTAs for the caption. We hope these faceless b-roll ideas inspire you to create reels and show up consistently for your audience. So here’s our question for you today: Do you struggle to post reels?

Recycle Your Socials and Give Yourself the Gift of Time 🎄 November and December are busy and overwhelming. It is also the perfect time to show yourself some grace. Instead of creating new content from scratch, why not recycle your socials? Repurpose your best posts, tweak old content, and repost those hidden gems that your audience may have missed. By doing this, you will free up time to focus on what truly matters—rest, family, and enjoying the festive moments. Your content will still engage your audience without the extra pressure. Remember, giving yourself a break is just as important as giving to others. 🎁 #RecycleYourSocials #ContentRepurpose #WorkSmart #SelfCare #FestiveSeason

Here's the tea ☕ Using your Instagram grid as your portfolio isn't a strategy 🤯 Listen, I get it - years ago, we used to post an aesthetic photo and call it a day.

So that static post from your most recent maternity session? Not going to resonate.

Just post your damn content!🫢 I know you’re tired of overthinking when to post, so let’s break it down. According to Later, the best times to post on Instagram are: ✨7 PM on Wednesdays ✨ 12 PM on Fridays ✨ 6 PM on Mondays …but here’s the real deal: what works for your audience might be completely different. 🤔Think of your content like a hit TV show. People tune in when they know it’s on because they’re hooked and don’t want to miss it. Your audience works the same way—they’re most likely to engage when you consistently show up at the right time for them. This is where knowing your audience’s lifestyle matters: ✍🏾 Are they scrolling before work? During their lunch break? Write Are they night owls who binge content after the kids go to bed? 💎 Pro Tip: Check your Instagram insights and see when your followers are online. If you can’t stick to those times consistently, pick one that fits your life and show up like clockwork. Your audience will come to expect and love it—just like their favorite show. Have questions? Drop them below—I’d love to help! 💡 Overwhelmed with social media? Comment the word FREEDOM, and I’ll help you finally get your time back while still showing up like a pro. #socialmediamarketing #socialmediatips #socialmediaagency
