As business owners, we work very hard to create relevant and interesting content that captures our audience. If we are selling products or services, there is a lot that goes into creating this information.
The world is a different place now, and there is so much content out there that we have access too.
If you like something that someone else created, the best practice is to first ask if you can use the content. However, sometimes there are third parties managing the social accounts and may not respond to you in a timely fashion. If you choose to use a photo from someone else’s account make sure you tag them in the actual photo. Tagging someone in the photo allows their audience and followers to see that photo from their account. That is the main different from a mention. When you mention someone in your caption, they will see the notification, but none of their followers will see that recycled content. Unless someone took a photo for you, for the purpose of your account using it and the content is unrelated to the original creator, then it is ok to simply give them a mention, otherwise make sure to tag them.
Whenever you’re ready to start your journey, the first step is always the scariest. It may never seem like the most opportune time, but you need to embrace that fear, self-doubt, and whatever else is standing in your way. Take a deep breath and begin on your journey ahead.
In doing what you love, you will need to sacrifice many things and in turn hurt some people because they will not understand the efforts that are being put in behind the scenes to accomplish your work.
I’ve said it many times, I LOVE every minute I spend working on the things I have chosen to leap into. It comes with lots of hours of work and strength to say no to things that you may not want to say no too.
Are you ready for your first step?
