Instagram And Facebook's Latest Innovations You Need To Be Aware Of
Meta is innovating on both Instagram and Facebook and in this episode of the #socialgenius podcast we wanted to share two daily shots where we break down what is new with each platform and how you should consider using the feature for your content creation.
Episode Highlights:
- Jeff shares that Instagram Adds the capacity to display up to 5 links in your profile Bio as a new update.
- The Bio is the representation of what your business is, what your brand is, who you are as a human.
- Jeff recommends putting a link in your bio like Instacard as a one stop shop for your audience.
- People go to social media to be entertained, get educated, kill time, not to be sold anything.
- Jeff suggests that if you are in real estate don’t put your website link to your bio, It’s like telling the audience that you are about to sell something.
- Jeff shares his screen to show why he chose instacard as a one stop shop.
- Connect with Jeff if you have any questions so he can help you and show you how it can help you increase the engagement and the connection you will make on Instagram.
- Facebook is testing a new AI generated story, based on your previously shared images.
- AI is now potentially going to make it easier for you to create content.
- Many of us lack in the creativity department, we lack knowing what to post every day.
- As describe by Facebook “Allow Facebook to suggest high-quality, ready-made stories for you using advance photo and video data, including image quality, location, the presence of people or animals”
- Think about it as a more consistency tool.
- Both Facebook and Instagram have been looking to better align with behavioral shifts towards stories and private messaging.
- And for Facebook, that comes from engaging with their friends and family, via their established social graph, which is an element that other apps can’t relate to.
- Continue to follow DrunkOnSocial we will tell you what to be using based on what we’re testing.
