Are Facebook groups still a thing in 2024? Absolutely! 🌟 They’re a powerful way to promote your services or products, but the real treasure lies in actively interacting with your crew. If you’re thinking of starting your own group, dive into my blog for all the tips to get started: https://rebrand.ly/4ge2l22

Right here on Linkedin, you’ll find copycats stealing thought leaders’ posts and passing them off as their own genius. On Instagram, aggregator accounts can monetize off of other creators' content and share to millions of followers without credit. It’s practically pastime on Twitter/X at this point to steal someone else’s words and pass them off as one’s own — to a verified account, no less. And while, technically all of this is frowned upon, in many cases, it's not punishable. We decided to break down the Terms & Conditions into layperson's terms for the various platforms creators use to promote their work, and with this post, we're starting with Instagram's Terms of Use when it comes to content licensing. From their Terms of Use: “You hereby grant to us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your content.” What that means: In simple terms, when you post content on Instagram, you're giving them permission to use your content in various ways without paying you, and they can let others use it, too. So, what's the problem? Instagram is a free platform that also pays creators who get viral traction, after all. Well. Instagram is also a platform where an increasing number of aggregator profiles lift other users' content, often without consent or tagged credit. For some, this can be a follower boon. If an aggregator profile has a legitimate following (AKA not pumped up with thousands of bot followers) and they actually tag original creators in their posts, a jump in followers is almost guaranteed. For that to happen, though, the onus is on the aggregator to do the moral thing and tag the creator. It’s hard to even guesstimate how often that actually happens. On the money side, we have a bigger problem. As those aggregators rack up big followings and engagement numbers, they then get to make money off the content they share, even though they don't own it -- and the original creators don't get even a fraction of a cut of that monetization. Zip. Zero. And that, dear creator, is the problem. You have an idea, you put it out in the world as a video or an image or whathaveyou, and other people profit off of it, with or without credit to you. There is very little recourse for original creators who discover that their content has been ripped off without proper credit. This issue, among the many other mounting issues around digital content ownership and protection for creators, is why we’ve built TRACE. Our platform showcases and protects creators’ bread and butter: your identities/personal brands, and the work you create.  If you’re a creator, we want to hear from you.

Join in on the celebration as Threads introduces custom icons to add a personal touch to your messages. Check them out here:

Di: Ray, can you measure everything? Ray: Absolutely! Time, naps, food… all measurable. Di: What about how much I love my new dog and how fun is he? Ray: Uh… well, maybe not everything. Friendship, fun, love... those things don’t really fit in numbers. Di (smiling): Thought so. Ray (sigh): Yeah, you win this one, Di. Check out our Apptoberfest video and find out how Ray helped Di to choose a dog – https://lnkd.in/dMG6XAnW eazyBI: Simple Things Easy, Complex Things Possible

Wake up! It’s the first of the month! Here is a social media rundown for the week: Threads is testing a 24-hour temporary post option. Similar to IG stories, these posts will disappear 24 hours after the original posting time. This would be a fun way to announce giveaways and special drops, but keep in mind that all the replies will also be deleted. https://lnkd.in/gWmeyKzG Instagram is rolling out a big update! You will now be able to post carousels in their original aspect ratios. No more cropping images to fit what Instagram wants! While this will make it easier for personal users and businesses to post without editing the image, it is also a great opportunity for businesses to think more creatively about how carousels are viewed on the platform. https://lnkd.in/g3ZXtP_V #SocialMediaMarketing #SocialMediaInsights #InstagramMarketing #Threads #ThreadsMarketing
