Let's see what's new in social media this week with, Christian Karasiewicz and Jim Fuhs and guest, Ai Addyson-Zhang Social Chatter: Social Media Marketing Talk Show - Episode 232 Twitter Fleets, Disappearing Twitter Stories In Twitter news, they are currently working on Twitter Fleets, also known as Twitter Stories. Twitter Fleets are currently being tested in Brazil. Right now, they won't be able to receive likes, retweets or replies and will disappear in 24 hours. One other interesting feature of Twitter Stories is that Fleets won't show up in search or Moments or even someone's Twitter feed. You also cannot embed them on an external website. Why Twitter Fleets Matter For Your Business Twitter Fleets, also known as Twitter Stories, should look similar to Stories that you currently see on Facebook and Instagram. Right now, they are at the top of your feed - that could change whenever they get released. With Fleets, you will have the same Stories experience like you have on other social media platforms. As a business, you could take advantage of Twitter Stories by first, building a community and then share quick snippets. Keep in mind, you don't have to post something every hour of the day to Twitter Fleets. Facebook Stories Cross-posting To Instagram In Facebook news, they are working on the ability to cross-post Facebook Stories to Instagram.

Why Cross-Posting Facebook Stories to Instagram Matters For Your Business By adding the ability to cross-post Facebook Stories to Instagram, you should be able to save time - one less platform to come up with content for. Keep in mind, this also potentially signals bigger changes coming to both Facebook and Instagram - convergence. As a business, continue to build a community of loyal followers who will follow you regardless of which social media platform you are on.

Here are the tips that she shared. Humanize your brand. People do business with people. How should you build trust with your audience? Authentic giving is a great way to build trust. For any business, there are pretty much three things that we can give away, including time, knowledge, and money/resources. I have done all of them which has really helped grow my business. For example, i go live at least twice a week and I teach my heart out. My audience loves it. Social media is a tool. It is not the end goal in itself. Use it to grow your business. Don't get lost in the rabbit hole. Tools In addition to sharing the latest news from this past week, we also highlighted some great social media tools and apps for you to check out. Metricool The first tool that we have for you this week is Metricool. Metricool is a data and analytics tool. . With Metricool, you can quickly review your metrics, plan your content and manage online ad campaigns that you are running. Metricool can help you analyze, manage and grow your digital presence. You can use Metricool for free on one Metricool profile. If you need additional profiles, prices start at $12.99 per month for 10 Metricool profiles. Manage your metrics and plan content easily Braintoss The second tool that we have for you this week is Braintoss (iOS | Android). Do you struggle with having too many things in your head?

With Braintoss, you can quickly capture these tasks by recording a note, snapping a photo, or simply entering text. If this seems familiar, Braintoss is similar to Evernote.
