Social Media Updates
Updates of the week

Hi there,
As we are moving toward the holidays, it’s getting more quiet with new social media updates. However, Meta did not get that memo, and Instagram, as well as other Meta products, are still launching new features and updates almost weekly.
So, let’s see what they are…
In this Newsletter, you will find..
New Tool
Have you seen my latest tool suggestion for Instagram? I partnered up with Rella, and here is how you can use the tool to manage all your clients and get easy approval.
New feature
Flick Social is explaining the new feature “trial reels” on their YouTube channel
Trends
YouTube published a recap with trends in 2024
As we move into the end of the year, your timeline on social media will be flooded again with how and when to set goals. While I believe there is no right or wrong way, there are some things I have tested that were really helpful. One of the most popular books would be “Atomic Habits” but have you hear of "The 10X Rule" by Grant Cardone?
This book encourages entrepreneurs to set goals that are 10 times bigger than what they think is possible. The book offers practical advice on how to take massive action, overcome obstacles, and achieve extraordinary success. It’s a motivational and mindset-driven book for entrepreneurs who are ready to think big and go after their goals with relentless determination.
