E199|6 social media principles you NEED to know with Joy Foster

Ooh, this episode is juicy! Our chief TechPixie Joy has been doing social media longer than social media’s been around (true fact. She went to the school that inspired Mark Zuckerberg to create ‘The Facebook’). And in a world that likes to move faster than a sailfish, it’s reassuring to know that a few golden nuggets of social media have stood the test of time.But because we know what it’s like to be at the beginning of a social media journey and not know how to navigate it, Joy is sharing the six principles you need to follow to make this roller coaster of a ride feel a whole lot less brain-shaking.  You’ll hear: ✨ How your message is more important than your fear.✨ What we can learn from the Roman philosopher Seneca. (When I said the principles stood the test of time, I really meant it!!! 🤣)✨ What we mean by social media stacking. ✨ Why you should never post and ghost.✨ How to be a magnet, not a peacock.✨ Why the sales are in the mails.
