"If those Sunday morning screen time stats were any indication of just how much time we spent online in 2020, it’s possible that we’ve never used social media more than we did last year." Planoly Blog Author DARREN GRIFFIN INSTAGRAM: @DGRIFF123 writes. If there is anything, I know for sure it's that change is constant. We see it everywhere, with the internet and social media speeding up how often things change and how long items remain the same to become legendary.  Darren's article goes on to say "Last year, we collectively saw an uptick of 21% in monthly social media usage. We’re logging on more and staying longer when we do. Which prompts a question: what does our increased social media use last year mean for this year? Well, it means that all the new tools, exciting trends, and up and coming platforms that began to take shape last year will become commonplace over the next 12 months. And for marketers, small businesses, and influencers, it's critical to understand and implement those trends to have a successful go at social media marketing this year" {source: planoly blog}  In this episode, we'll dive deeper into this article and talk about the pros and cons of the top 9 Social Media Trends & Predictions For 2021 You Need To Know.

Did you know that getting organised is directly tied with Self Esteem? Feeling good about your surroundings also makes you feel good about yourself. In fact, if you are reading personal development books, listening to audio programs or attending seminars on personal development and self-esteem, then chances are you're caught in a circle. You do some personal development, and you feel better, and you get on with life, but the disorganization of your life catches up with you, and so you go back to doing a bunch of personal development. Self-esteem and personal organization are essentially two sides of the same coin. The coin that opens those gateways to all success. You can focus on either of those sides separately. Still, in the end, being organised depends on self-esteem, and vice versa, self-esteem depends on getting organized in your career development and personal life. LIGHT BULB! Today we will go through my top-secret hacks to become organised and stay organised to help you improve self-esteem, money, and relationships.  This episode is brought to you by PLANOLY, one of my favourite social media scheduling tools.

I mean, like, how do you measure a follower thinking more highly of you as a result of a contest, right? I get it, but there are other signs we can look to determine their effectiveness.

This week I chat with Billie Sharp Businesswoman extraordinaire - Billie started her business from scratch and took it to 5 figures within 3 months, and finds great joy in helping/coaching other service-based businesses to do the same. Billie loves Orcas and anything to do with the Egyptian Pyramids. Billie is a mum, wife and business leader. This is no side gig business either; this is how Billie makes a living (shocking right). Billie helps business owners to become UNSTOPPABLE. “I grew up in Australia in a small country town; I had a ‘normal’ childhood. I rode my bike to my public school; my parents separated when I was little, and my mum made sure I never went without. I came from a working family and knew from a very young age that I wanted to help the world be a happier place. I just wasn’t sure how I was going to do that. I am living proof that ANYONE can be successful if they put their mind too it.” - Billie Sharp Links mentioned in this episode are: www.Facebook.com/billiesharp  Facebook.com/twenty4social https://billiesharp.com.au  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/twenty4social/message
