Most influencers aren’t aware of this: If you are an influencer, you must consider certain particularities to protect yourself and your works⭐️ Here are 3 legal tips that every influencers/creators should know👇🏼 📝Always have a contract: Stop signing deals on emails or DMs. You want to make sure that your work will be paid off and you and the brand stays on the same page during the collaboration. So, it’s always advisable to have a contract signed off. 🔐Understand the content right: You need to make sure that you understand who owns the content you are posting on social media and what your rights are in the content. The last thing you want to do is unknowingly assign your ownership in content to a brand by not fully understanding the contract or promote a product which infringes the rights of a third party. 🔍Contact a legal counselor: It’s a wise decision to have a legal expert to understand the contract. An expert can help you understand the terms and conditions mentioned in the contract. Being an influencer or content creator is not a hobby anymore, it’s an income source and a full time job.

Branding Myth busted✴️👇🏼 We all get confused branding with aesthetics. 👉🏽Branding is not a design, logo, fonts or colours. They are not the aesthetics that compliment your brand by giving appealing visuals. 👉🏽Branding is about You & Your Brand. That one special quality that makes your brand stand out from the crowd. How you are speaking to your audience, the way you're conveying your message - Your brand voice How and why you're serving your audience, what problem you're solving for your target audience, Your brand's mission & vision💫 . . . #tbay #tbaysmallbusiness #thunderbay #mediamarketing #graphicdesign #seo #google #nalu #localbusiness #bayalgoma #socialmedia #socialmediamarketing #SMO #SocialmediaOptimization

Facebook Hacking is on the rise 📲👀 Here are some tips & tricks to help you prevent Facebook Hacking: 1️⃣ Your login information: Choose strong passwords! Use at least eight characters, containing letters and numbers. Single words, even long words, are too easy to guess. For additional protection add 2FA (Two Factor Authentication) Make sure not to leave your Facebook account logged in on a shared computer or public terminal. Anyone could commandeer your account that way. Don't leave your Facebook password lying around or give it to anyone. 2️⃣ Your email: Don't let hackers get access to your Facebook account by using your email. Your email login information is valuable and you should look after it. Follow the same guidelines as for your Facebook password: pick a strong password, don't leave your email account logged in where someone else could access it, don't give away your password,and/or add 2FA (Two Factor Authentication) to your account. 3️⃣ Using infected apps & links: Be very careful what links you click on on or off of Facebook and don't give too much access to any application (For features, games, online quiz, shopping, etc.). Try to only allow access to apps you fully trust and know for sure are safe to use. Just remember, if it seems too good to be true, it normally is. 4️⃣ Emails with social engineering: Avoid phishing mails by setting your spam filter on your email to block junk mail. ALWAYS log into Facebook via your bookmarks or by typing Facebook.com into your trusted browser, that way you know you are on the real Facebook site and not a counterfeit operated by phishers. We hope these tips & tricks help you prevent Facebook Hacking on your account! Have questions?

Facebook Hacking is on the rise 📲👀 How does this happen? There are many ways hackers can get ahold of your Facebook account, here are some of the main ways they can: 1️⃣ With your login information: Whether it's a week password, you forgot to logout of your account on a public device, etc. If someone obtains your login information, they can access your account anytime they want and change your information to lock you out of your account. 2️⃣ By hacking your email: If the email you use with your Facebook account gets hacked, you may lose control of your Facebook account too. The hacker will have full access to change your passwords to not only your email but your Facebook account and lock you out. 3️⃣ If you use rogue/infected apps or links: You can use applications, also known as apps, to give your Facebook account new features, play games, answer quizzes, etc. Unfortunately, not all apps are what they seem. Rogue apps ask for posting access to your Facebook account. If you give them access, they can post spam to your account, your friends walls, send messages via Facebook's private message system or instant messenger and more. Some rogue apps and links can even infect your computer with malware; an example is the Koobface worm that places malware on your system and hijacks your account to post spam. 4️⃣ By being tricked with social engineering: Instead of high-tech attacks, social engineering relies on confidence tricks to steal your data. In the case of Facebook, this is generally done by "phishing." You receive an email that looks as if it came from Facebook. It seems real but this email comes from a scammer. It will often have an urgent tone, for example telling you that your account will be shut down if you don't respond with your password or log in via a link in the email. If you do either of these, your login information will be stolen. NO ONE wants or likes being hacked and Nalu wants to help! Stay tuned this week and keep an eye out on our page for tips & tricks on how to prevent this from happening to you! #tbay #tbaysmallbusiness #thunderbay #mediamarketing #localbusiness #bayalgoma #SocialmediaOptimization

You might think of search engine Optimization as a website you visit, type a question into Google and magically it replies with a long list of links to webpages that could potentially answer your question.⠀ ⠀ Here's how it works: Google (or any search engine you're using) goes out and gathers information about all the content they can find on the Internet. The crawlers bring all those 1s and 0s back to the search engine to build an index. That index is then fed through an algorithm that tries to match all that data with your query.⠀ ⠀ Need help with your Search Engine Optimization?

WHAT MAKES UP A PERSONAL BRAND 👤 Everybody has a personal brand, including you. It’s what people think when they hear your name. Your brand is both what you stand for and what you do. Just as a company’s brand helps to communicate its value to customers and stand out from the competition, a personal brand does the same for individuals 🙌🏽 Your personal brand should highlight your strengths, establish a reputation, build trust, and communicate the unique attributes that you bring to your current industry. Ask yourself these questions to get yourself started: What drives me? In what areas do I excel? What work drains my energy? What work fuels me? What settings do I work best in? What industries do I find interesting? Where do I want to be at the end of my career? What impact do I want to have? Want to work more on your personal brand?

Lets talk #Hashtags. In today's post, we want to share with you a quick tip that people overlook while using hashtags. We often get asked - Should I use a super popular hashtag or a niche based hashtag? Now, hashtags is a very detailed topic and the answer can vary from account to account. However after testing multiple accounts, we've noticed that the sweet spot for hashtags is to use the ones which a) Have less than 1M usage. b) Mix those hashtags with the ones used less than 10K times. This combo will get you better reach than using crazy super popular hashtags where your posts might get lost. What are some of the challenges that you are facing with your hashtag strategy? . . . #tbay #tbaysmallbusiness #thunderbay #mediamarketing #graphicdesign #seo #google #nalu #localbusiness #bayalgoma #socialmedia #socialmediamarketing #SMO #SocialmediaOptimization

Here’s why you need to implement content pillars…💬 What is a content pillar?🤔 A content pillar is a theme or topic that you set your content around. Having these in place can help you when you’re stuck for what to post - just think of what comes under your pillars and what ones you’ve already used this week📲 Think of it like an umbrella ☔️ your pillar could be educate, which for me includes marketing advice, social media info, self care tips etc!

New to freelancing? Or aspiring to be a freelancer some day?💭 Well here some tips for you!👩🏻💻 When starting out, it can be super overwhelming. Lots of information thrown at you, expectations to do well, nerves... so let's talk about why I think these 5 tips will help get you on your feet. Making sure to research for pricing your services is a must. Think about how much you'd like to earn and narrow it down to an hourly figure.

If you haven't done any work yet, create some passion projects to show your skills! Nailing your process near the beginning is a must. This ties in with get organized. Figure out what works best for you and try to stick to it. Find the platforms and tools you love, and get into the groove! Finally, set your working hours and be prepared.

Today is Canada's second annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, an important observation to honour the victims and survivors of residential schools and Indigenous communities who faced more than a century of oppression under our government's watch. So let's all take a moment to understand the gravity of the day: It's all about acknowledging Canada's dark history, educating ourselves, and doing whatever we can to ensure the past never repeats itself. As a Canadian media platform, one way we can contribute is by sharing some of our favourite Indigenous-owned businesses. It would be awesome if you could support them for National Day for Truth & Reconciliation and beyond. @teahorseteas @cheekbonebeauty @napash.arts @skwalwenbotanicals . . . #EveryChildMatters #nationaldayoftruthandreconiliation #orangeshirtday #bayalgoma #teahorseteas #cheekbonebeauty #napasharts #skwalwenbotanicals

Social media isn't just for spreading the word about your brand. It's a monitoring and listening tool. As a brand, if you aren't monitoring and listening what your followers, potential followers, users, customers, etc. say about you, you aren't using the platforms to their full potential. Here's why you should invest your time into social monitoring AND listening... 1️⃣ Gives you a chance to measure your content strategy's effectiveness. The question we all want an answer for, is our content strategy on the right track? You'll find your answer when you closely watch how they are talking and interacting with your content. 2️⃣ Allows for reputation management. When negative situations arise, people quickly go to social media. Whether it's for a customer complaint, company crisis, or bad press, you'll probably find it across social media. People want to feel heard, especially in times of distress. Take the opportunity to change the person's negative viewpoint of the situation and your brand into a positive one through great reputation management. 3️⃣ Can help you develop new ideas or ways to improve your product/service. Consider your social media a case study for your product or service. You should want to hear the issues about it, the best parts, the questions that arise, the new ideas. Not only that, but you should take those back to the rest of your team and act on it. 4️⃣ Helps you convert sales. Perhaps the most important part and end-goal of your social media presence. Of course you want to see that relationship forming and maintaining with your community of followers, but you also want to see the results! If you can convert at least one person from a follower to a customer, it makes it all worth it! #tbaysmallbusiness #thunderbay #mediamarketing #graphicdesign #seo #google #nalu #localbusiness #bayalgoma #socialmedia #socialmediamarketing #SMO #SocialmediaOptimization

Creating a content strategy doesn't have to be time-consuming, OR ineffective! More than half the issue is knowing what it is, where to start, and what to include. Use this outline for help... ✔️ Goals: These are long term, more ambiguous targets. Try using the "SMART" goals method: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-Framed. ✔️ Objectives: Specific benchmarks to reach your end goal. ✔️ Audience: Get to know your ideal customer so you know who you are speaking and marketing to. ✔️ Buyer Personas: These are SUPER helpful when it comes to tone and caption creation. You should know who you are speaking to as it will make a huge difference in your tone and direction. ✔️ Competitor Analysis: We don't want to copy our competitors in any way, but we can learn from them! Use a SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) or you can answer some of the questions below: → Who are they? → What sets you apart? → What are they doing well on socials? ✔️ Current Social Media Audit: If you already have content on your page, what worked well so far? Why did it work? Who's your audience? ✔️ Platforms: Based on what you now know about your audience, competitors, goals, and current content, what platforms are you going to use? ✔️ Content Types: Videos, photos, reels, stories, etc. - what are you going to start making for your brand? ✔️ Content grids: Are you following a grid plan to balance out your feed? ✔️ Pillars: What pillars are you choosing to base your content from? Educational, Inspiration, Motivational? ✔️ Scheduling & Batching: How far ahead are you scheduling your content? How many pieces of content can you create at once? ✔️ Consistency: How many times a week are you posting? What time are you posting? ✔️ Hashtags: Researching hashtags is an important step of being seen. Create lists of hashtags that are relevant and vary in size. Save this post!
