Social Media Edition: “What did you learn this w Social Media Edition: “What did you learn this week?” Here are the social media tips/lessons I learned this week. 

We answer this question at the Shabbat dinner table every Friday and I love bringing the idea to IG. 

This week’s social media lessons and highlights: 

* Reels: Insta just added a new feature called Reels Remix, which is pretty much like TikTok’s Duet. 

* Reels/TikTok: A fun challenge that’s trending rn is “Me: Now vs Then” to Yucky Ducky FruitCake song (see next slide) - it’s similar to glow up. (Source: @creator)

* Pinterest: If you have early access to Story Pin (which is much like Instastories), you will soon be able to  add affiliate links to Story Pins. In alpha stage now.

Everyone will notice but no one will know! I wante Everyone will notice but no one will know! I wanted to update you on my experience with the SculpSure body contouring treatment.

I love this treatment because it removes fat without surgery, it's molded for the problem area and you get back to doing what you were doing before the treatment.

What did you learn this week? This is a question w What did you learn this week? This is a question we answer at the Shabbat dinner table every Friday night and I love bringing the idea to IG. 

This week’s lessons and highlights: 
* You can find out what’s trending on TikTok if you sign up for the TikTok newsletter 

* Clubhouse (audio-only social media platform) is monetizing by allowing users to tip creators. ⁣I don’t have a huge presence on Clubhouse but I personally don’t feel comfortable receiving tips from my audience. I would prefer to monetize Clubhouse via brands sponsoring a room (much like podcasts). This way the creators are compensated for their time and the knowledge they’re sharing. 

* BitClout is the social media talk of town. I’m not sure if I totally understand it but it’s like Bitcoins for creators - it is social media on a blockchain. It also generates social tokens, which represent actual people. I’m debating if I should set up an account. Your thought? Should we do an IG Live on this topic so we can learn about it together? 

* On a unrelated note, I learned I’m still a shopaholic. Just bought @onzie, @lululemon and @spritualgagster workout outfits from @equinox since 50% off.
