An Ultimate Guide to Social Media Influencers: From Why to How?

Influencer marketing has rapidly become a key strategy for many marketers. In fact, 80% of marketers now have a specific budget set aside for influencer campaigns. Marketers understand that people trust the words of influencers rather than their own. Audiences trust influencers for the unique and valuable expertise they bring to the table. So, when these same influencers promote any relevant brand’s product or service, they are likely to try them. We’ve found influencer marketing dramatically expands our brand’s reach and authenticity. Our recent influencer marketing campaign is a testament to that. We at SocialPilot recently collaborated with the truly remarkable Luke Shalom, who is an micro-influencer with over 49K followers. Luke was an absolute gem to work with, and his contributions h...

Is There a Valuable Use Case for Generative AI in Social Apps?

While social platforms are super keen to tap into the generative AI trend, I’m not sure that they’ve worked out a good way to truly integrate AI tools in order to complement their core use case just yet. Sure, there are some generative AI elements that have sparked trending interest, like image generation tools, and even certain chatbots, like Snapchat’s ‘My AI’. But for the most part, the AI tools that we’re getting actually detract from the central mission of social apps, in that they reduce the actual social interaction element. Though that is, of course, in a human-to-human sense, and maybe, that’s not actually where things are headed. Are we moving to a new stage of digital interaction, where humans don’t necessarily have to be involved in conversations? Will chatbots eventually en...

Learning to Appreciate Great Content

The web is teeming with content. There are articles, videos, and podcasts to serve every niche. And we can’t forget about the many newsletters out there. That certainly applies to web design and all its subgenres. Perhaps we should be celebrating this golden age of content creation. Publishing is easier than ever. We can learn just about anything we want on demand. How cool is that? It’s worth wondering if we’re pushing the limits of the human mind, though. There’s so much content that we can become overwhelmed. It may also lead us to devalue those who create it. For example, consider your social media habits. How many times have you “liked” content – even if you didn’t bother to read it? I find myself doing this quite often. The act represents a tiny show of support – which is fine. But i...

X May Look to Gate Some Video Content to Premium Subscribers Only

Along with X’s new slate of video programming, headlined by exclusive shows from popular TV identities Don Lemon, Tulsi Gabbard, and Jim Rome, the platform is also exploring a new monetization avenue for that content, which will push users to subscribe to X Premium in order to view certain episodes and updates. That’s according to a new finding in the back-end code of the app, which indicates a new prompt that’ll force users to sign-up to keep watching after a certain point in the playback. As you can see in this example code snippet, shared by social media expert Chris Messina, X is seemingly developing new prompts that will be triggered after a viewer watches for a certain amount of time, pushing them to sign-up to Premium to keep watching. There’s not a lot of info to go on at this...

It’s time for my annual look at the year ahead. This satirical report is chock-full of useless facts and mindless predictions. That makes it just as good as any year-ahead article on the internet.

X Shares New Data on its Efforts to Combat CSAM in the App

Anytime that a company releases a report in the period between Christmas and New Year, when message traction is especially low, it’s going to be received with a level of skepticism from the press. Which is the case this week, with X’s latest performance update. Amid ongoing concerns about the platform’s revised content moderation approach, which has seen more offensive and harmful posts remain active in the app, prompting more ad partners to halt their X campaigns, the company is now seeking to clarify its efforts on one key area, which Elon Musk himself had made a priority.  X’s latest update focuses on its efforts to stamp out child sexual abuse material (CSAM), which it claims to have significantly reduced through improved processes over the last 18 months. Third party reports contradic...

LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network, boasts a staggering 930 million members globally. It’s a great platform to connect your brand with powerful audiences.

The Age of Virtual Influencers Is Coming, Bringing a Range of New Considerations for Brands

While the current spate of generative AI tools are interesting, and are already changing discovery behaviors and interactive processes, they’re really only scratching the surface of what’s possible, and are far from actual “intelligence” as the AI name suggests. Indeed, most of these initial models are data matching tools, able to predict elements of text and images based on the most likely sequencing, by applying probability to huge datasets. And they’re becoming increasingly at doing just that, but they’re not “thinking” as such, these systems are not developing new concepts all on their own, and there’s no intent or reasoning behind those matches, other than mathematical likelihoods. That’s the next level of AI, which many experts have expressed concern about, in that such systems wi...

Most people spend every spare moment scrolling through apps, with the constant flow of information online giving us all new levels of FOMO every single second. But really, in most cases, unplugging for a while is not going to have a big impact.

WhatsApp Announces New Sponsorship Deal with Mercedes F1 Team

Instagram Tests New Elements to Feed into More Enclosed Group Sharing

Instagram continues to lean into more private sharing, with a series of new updates in testing that will provide more ways for users to interact in smaller groups. First off, Instagram’s testing new ways to respond to inbox Notes, with users in the test pool now able to reply to Notes with audio clips, photos, videos, GIFs, and stickers. That’ll add more ways for people to engage with Notes, and contribute to general conversations with friends. Notes, which Instagram first launched last December, have proven especially popular with younger users, a key demographic that IG wants to keep a hold on, to stop them from migrating to TikTok instead. As such, it makes sense for Instagram to double-down on Notes, while it’s also added songs, looping video clips, and other interactive elements to...

Social Media Holiday Calendar 2023

Do you have your social media holiday calendar planned? As a business, you wouldn’t want to miss out on the enormous number of leads or engagements you can get on different holidays.

X is Testing Variable Upload Quality Options for Video Creators

Another element of X’s pivot to video is coming, with creators soon set to be able to select the video quality that they want to upload in.   As shown in this example, posted by X designer Andrea Conway, along with a toggle to allow or disallow downloads of their content, creators will also be able to select variable upload quality, which could make it easier for people looking to get their videos up on the platform quickly, or in low data situations. Which could be a rare consideration of users outside the U.S., with many X users in developing markets still not in situations that enable them to upload full HD content, due to network capacity, data plans, etc. Though according to X owner Elon Musk users in these markets aren’t the main motivation.

What is It & Why You Need It

Social media mistakes happen. Typos. Awkward phrasing. Angry-tweeting at MasterChef Junior contestants before remembering they’re children. But if you work in a regulated industry, mis-wording something can have bigger consequences than just embarrassment. We’re talking fines, disciplinary suspensions, referrals to state authorities, or even total bars from your industry. If you want to stay out of hot water, an AI-backed compliance tool like Proofpoint is key. So how do you stay out of hot water and consistently stay engaged with your social media audience? One option is to create a compliance officer role at your company. But large companies may find that just leads to employee content stuck in an approval bottleneck for ages.

Meta has published a new report which looks at the key consumption shifts that brands need to consider in their marketing outreach, which highlights some important notes for all businesses to factor in. The research, conducted by Meta, in partnership with Kantar and Nielsen, is focused on opportunities in the Asia-Pacific market, though many of the lessons and notes would be largely universal, as they relate to global economic and behavioral shifts. As explained by Meta: “Businesses today are facing a new reality: an uncertain macroeconomic landscape, increasing pressure on profitability, efficiency and business outcomes, and changing media consumption habits.

X Announces That its Shutting Down ‘Circles’ As of October 31st

RIP Circles, the latest feature to be shut down as part of the transition of the app into X. Which is no surprise. X owner Elon Musk has been talking about getting rid of Circles for months, so really, it was just a matter of time. But now the X team has set an official end date. As per X: “X is deprecating Circles as of Oct 31st, 2023. After this date, you will not be able to create new posts that are limited to your Circle, nor will you be able to add people to your Circle.” Circles, which previous Twitter management first launched in May last year, was one of various projects that sought to better align in-app engagement with the broader shift of social interactions to more intimate groups, as opposed to public posting.

The long–awaited real-life meeting between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg happened today, with the two both attending an “AI Insight Forum” at Capitol Hill, to discuss the development of AI technologies, and the implications for AI in its many applications. Spoiler alert: There was no MMA bout, and Elon didn’t jump the table and attack Zuck, despite his repeated threats to turn up at his house and challenge him to mortal combat. Instead, the two joined other industry heavyweights, including Google’s Sundar Pichai, Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, and more, to discuss the potential for AI regulation, the current laws and possible blind spots, and what needs to change in future, in order to mitigate economic risk. Or worse: superintelligent robots that want to use us as batteries. Zuckerberg publis...

Your Instagram account has more followers than you ever dreamed.  There’s only one problem.You’ve been so preoccupied with building your audience that you’ve forgotten about the other end of building a business on Instagram. Monetization. You have an ever-expanding cadre of loyal, engaged followers. You know there’s a market for what you offer. But before you go for a quick money grab, you should slow down and consider the best way to convert your audience into customers. Do it the wrong way and you risk turning those followers away.

X Officially Launches the First Stage of Job Listings for Verified Organizations

After testing it with selected partners over the past few months, X has now officially launched its new job listings element in beta, with any Verified Organization on the app now able to add job listings to their profile. As you can see in this example, now, businesses with a gold checkmark can add an open roles shelf to their profile, which will appear above their main timeline, and below their profile bio and following/follower numbers. Tap on the “View all jobs” CTA and you’ll be able to see all the open positions that company currently has listed, and you’ll be able to apply for each (via third-party hosting) by tapping on the specific job detail.

How to Boost Engagement With LinkedIn Carousel Posts and Ads

The algorithm giveth and the algorithm taketh away. Such is the cycle of social media. After launching their native carousel post format in July 2022, LinkedIn recently announced their removal of it less than a year later. Why? Apparently because of user feedback that LinkedIn carousels (and link stickers and profile videos) weren’t hittin’ the mark for content creators on the platform. That’s a bit strange, considering LinkedIn carousels get 5 times as many clicks as any other post format. Don’t worry: there’s still a way to make LinkedIn carousel posts. It’s called the “LinkedIn document post” or “PDF post hack,” and it’s been around a lot longer than the actual LinkedIn carousel format. Here’s how to create LinkedIn carousel document posts and ads that get you noticed. ...

As a content creator, you don’t just write for one channel, most likely you write for multiple channels – like a blog, newsletter, social media.There are a few goals you should try to achieve with anything you write: 1 – Don’t be boring  2 – Teach the reader something they may not know 3 – Leave an impression that causes readers to feel like they have to respond or react Because of these goals (really, they’re my rules for writing engaging content), there are days where you may struggle to come up with content ideas.

Instagram Tests New Collaborative Posting Option to Encourage Participation

This could be interesting. Instagram is experimenting with a new option that would enable users to add their own images and videos to an existing post, facilitating more direct collaborations in the app. As you can see in this example, shared by app researcher Alessandro Paluzzi, when switched on, the new option would enable post viewers to submit their own addition for consideration. Any additions would not be displayed until approved by the creator, essentially enabling curated group photo albums and shared experiences in the app. Which Instagram has been leaning into as a key engagement driver of late. Back in 2021, Instagram added the “Add Yours” sticker for Stories, which enables users to prompt others to respond to their Stories content, while it also expanded remixes to all video...

How to Use Social Proof to Fuel Engagement and Sales

Social proof starts when you’re envious of Little Johnny’s new kicks in first grade and ends… never. It’s the secret sauce in every successful marketing campaign.

As in, the reason why someone takes the time to engage, follow, or even sees your social media content in the first place.

Threads Sees Significant Decline in Usage, but Opportunity for Disruption Remains

While Elon Musk continues to tinker with Twitter, and push users towards paying to get full functionality in the app, Meta’s Twitter challenger Threads has seemingly stumbled from its initial launch, based on the latest third-party usage stats. You’ve no doubt seen the numbers. Sensor Tower has reported that Threads daily active user count has dropped by around 70% since launch, data.ai reports that Threads downloads have slowed significantly, and various pundits have already predicted that Meta’s real-time news app is destined for failure, following its record-breaking ascent to 100 million members. Some of that is based in hope, with Musk’s most prominent supporters looking to amplify the news of Threads’ demise however they can. And while it’s too early to truly gauge what its potenti...

Twitter Previews Updated Tweet Detail Display

With the addition of new elements like view and bookmark counts, the tweet details screen has become very cluttered, which Twitter itself is aware of, and is working to address. Today, Twitter designer Andrea Conway has shared a glimpse of the latest prototype of its updated tweet detail formatting – i.e. what you see after you’ve tapped on a tweet – which presents all of the relevant tweet info in a more streamlined, tidy manner. As you can see, the new tweet detail view looks very similar to how tweets are displayed in the main timeline, with fewer titles describing each element, taking up less space. The new format would also introduce an option to sort your tweet replies, which could make it easier to scan through relevant comments based on engagement, time, etc. Here’s a side-by-side...

Your Guide to Boosting Engagement

At times, a single tweet falls short of conveying the full breadth of your message. This is where Twitter threads come into play, allowing you to transcend the 280-character limit and reach a wider audience from the pool of 353 million Twitter users. But what is a Twitter thread, you ask? A Twitter thread, colloquially known as “Tweetstorm,” consists of a series of related tweets from one author. It’s designed to provide additional context to your primary tweet or to offer updated information on the same topic. A Twitter thread breaks down your message into digestible bits of information, each following the primary tweet in the thread. However, is crafting a Twitter thread as straightforward as it seems?

Meta Shares ‘Threads Dictionary’ to Keep Users Up to Speed on the Latest App Lingo

So is a post on Threads called a ‘Thread’ or a ‘post’? And what about re-posts – are they ‘re-threads’? It’s all a bit up in the air at the moment, in the (very) early days of the new Twitter-esque app, but to help you with the latest lingo, the Threads team has shared a ‘Threads Dictionary’ to keep you up to speed. So, to clarify: Each discussion is called a thread – so you post a thread in the app A post is an individual element within a thread (though some people are also referring to this as ‘threading’ or ‘stitching’) A shared thread is called a repost – not a ‘re-thread’ or some other variation Sharing someone else’s post is a quote thread It’s all pretty straightforward, there’s no new language to learn, as such.
