Your FREE secret weapon to dominate social media 👀

It seems like a week of new features and redesigns galore! 

YouTube has decided to have a little facelift, Meta wants you to go all in on Threads, and TikTok finally admitted something we all knew already. Yikes. 

Ready to get into it? Of course, you are! 

Let's dive in.

It looks like Meta is really pushing hard to get people to use Threads—so much so that it launched a new website specifically to help people grow on Threads.

As Meta says, its “mission is to inspire ideas that bring people together.” Mmmk.

On the website, it gives you ways to create and tips on how to expand your reach. Are the tips helpful? Not really. But let’s break them down anyway!

👋 Announce your arrival: According to Meta, you should let people know you’ve joined by explaining why you joined, what your interests are, and what communities inspire you.

🎠 Add carousel posts: Meta wants you to express yourself in all the ways (shares, reposts, etc), but most specifically with carousel posts. Because according to Head of Instagram, carousels are what you need to increase your reach!

🏷️ Topic Tags: Instead of hashtags, Threads uses Topic Tags. Connect with others in your niche or have others connect with you by tagging your content with specific Tags.

🔍 Insights: Want to grow on Threads? Meta says just check your insights! Impressive. Thank you so much, Meta!

While the website doesn’t offer much advice on how to actually grow on Threads, it does offer some better information on what Meta wants from you when it comes to Threads.

The top trending sounds and songs you need to use to go viral this week. 

📲 Have You Seen The Vine?: Use this tongue-in-cheek audio for a relatable video! This will show off your personality as a brand or business! Recount a story where you’re trying to remember all the details and stumbling over the words. It adds humor, personality, and humility to your brand.

🎨 You're An Artist?: This trend uses a simple, almost awkward question to highlight impressive or unexpected skills and talents. It often involves a conversational setup where someone describes their profession or passion, followed by the deadpan question "Are you good at it?". The video then cuts to visuals showcasing their actual skill level, often with a humorous or ironic undertone.

👞 Two Steps Ahead: This trend uses a specific audio, a woman confidently stating: "Two steps ahead. I am always two steps ahead." The audio is paired with videos or images of people demonstrating that they are, in some way, "ahead of the game." This could be through knowledge, preparedness, or quick thinking in various situations.

👀 Just Checking: This trend uses humor to poke fun at the desire for social media virality, especially among those whose jobs aren't directly tied to it. Creators act out scenarios where they casually check for viral fame amidst their regular, mundane tasks.

Well, this is really no surprise to anyone now, is it?

Recently, new documents have revealed that TikTok knew exactly how addictive its app was for kids … and that it could damage their mental and social development.

WHOOPS!

The documents also admitted that the app knew screen time tools wouldn’t work and were clearly just for the appearance of “doing something.”

DOUBLE WHOOPS!

With a TikTok ban still being spoken about in the US and Europe, this leaked document could be the nail in TikTok’s coffin.
