Aimee’s Top Tip for Interacting With Your Community
“There’s a saying: A stranger supports and roots more for you than those who know you. It’s 100% true. You’ll start off as strangers, and little by little your community will become an online family. The best way to communicate with them is to treat them like family: talk to them, respond to them, and be there for them.”

#4. Andrea Casanova: Celebrity Viral Marketer
Turning brands into influencers is Andrea’s superpower. How does she do it? By creating content intuitively, so that it genuinely resonates with audiences.
“Nowadays people are so focused on adding value to their audience that they forget to enjoy the content creation process — which can impact your videos. When we overly produce and curate content, it loses its original essence,” shares Andrea.
Andrea’s Top Tips To Keep Up With Social Media Trends
“I recommend following the top creators within your niche as well as top creators in adjacent industries. Creators tend to hop on trends faster than traditional users.”
“Pay attention to repeating concepts on your For You page and Explore Page. If you start to see a pattern, tap on the audio and see if there’s any recent activity. Is it picking up momentum?”
“Don't stress! Not every trend will fit your brand and that's okay.”
Pssst, Later’s TikTok trends resource is updated weekly — full of the latest trends heating up on the feed.

#10. Zeke Novarino: Instagram Mentor
Zeke Novarino is an Instagram mentor and SEO aficionado who regularly goes live on Instagram to share his top tips.

Belu’s Top Tip for Repurposing Content
“Apply the waterfall theory— where you have a core piece of content that can be repurposed across different formats and channels. For example, create a 10-minute evergreen YouTube video. This can then be translated into a podcast episode, used for an Instagram carousel post with key insights, shared on Pinterest with a link to a blog article about it, and packaged in an email marketing campaign.”

“Stories are my favorite feature on Instagram,” she explains. “They are easy to create, share, and communicate with my followers.”
Daniela’s Top Tip for Increasing Engagement on Social Media
“Be mindful of how and when you share your content. It makes a big difference when you share a well taken photo of a burger at 1pm when your audience is hungry, versus at 4pm when they’ve already had lunch.”
