Operating a small business is nothin’ small. It’s not just the huge risk you take starting a business—it’s also the blood, sweat, and tears that go into keeping things running smoothly and attracting more of your target customers. And with things like the looming economic downturn , the Great Resignation, and post-pandemic pressures , it’s no wonder that small businesses have been feeling the heat.

Writing for social media is not an easy job. . You work with strict character limits and tight turnarounds. You speak the language of memes and microtrends that your boss and coworkers might not understand. You have to quickly — and wittily — react to trending topics. And, if you ever publish a post with a typo, people will notice and call you out. (Looking at you, Twitter meanies.).

With the economy up in the air due to inflation kicking into high gear, war, interest rates rising, and other factors that we can’t control we decided it would be great to see how other marketers are reacting.

Recent research shows that only 50% of B2B organizations state that they have good alignment between their marketing and sales teams. This lack of alignment tremendously impacts the ability to meet business goals, and is a limiting factor for building and maintaining customer relationships. While many B2B organizations continue to struggle with aligning their marketing and sales teams, they can take practical steps to unify both teams and simplify their overall approach.

Your social media bio is one of your first opportunities to make an impression on your audience. A good bio can make the difference between whether or not a user chooses to follow you. And although followers shouldn’t be the only metric you care about, more followers can lead to more reach and collaboration opportunities. Your followers may even turn into a community of like-minded people.

Elon Musk is reportedly in advanced talks to buy Twitter. Unfortunately, his vision of an unfettered town square with few restrictions on what people can say is an impossible utopia. Social networks ceased being free speech platforms a decade ago when they moved from reverse chronological display (newest post at the top) to one showing content to users driven by AI algorithms.
