Hello my fellow social friends!

I’ve been exploring what my future could look like working in social media. I’m curious to know what possible career paths I could go down.

Would love to hear any stories from anyone who maybe started out as a Social Media Manager/Strategist…. Where are you now? And how did you get there?

If you’re interested in continuing that career path, try learning as many platforms as you can. I know that there’s always a chance that platforms might chance but the mechanics end up being very similar. I’d also become obsessed with data analysis; it’s a very transferable skill that will only make you more valuable and strengthen your business recommendations. I went from an entry level role to a senior role in a few years. Good luck!

Hi guys, urgent suggestion regarding feeling overwhelmed at work

I don't know why but lately since the second wave of the pandemic has started, I have been feeling very overwhelmed at work. My manager is mostly a supportive and smart person but due to recent changes in teams his workload has also increased a bit.

I don't know if its work or just the pandemic but sometimes even looking at emails feels dreadful.

Hey all, I work for a large National chain brand in organic and paid social. We do a lot with UGC so I’m fairly familiar in the brand side of things.

I feel like it’s getting popular on tiktok so now would be the time to give it a go if I thought it would be a good side hustle? Any info would be appreciated :)

Videos longer than 15 min get automatically shortened to 15 min on IG Reels! Help!

So, I usually host an IG live session. Typically, it last 45 min.

If I upload directly after recording the live, then the full 45 min is uploaded in 1080 x 1920 format. Besides missing a cover image, it’s fine. But, in most cases, I need to re-upload the 45 min video once I edit it (remove slurs, etc.)

However, when I upload my edited 45 video, it automatically gets cut to 15 min.

I found little workaround…
