 So if everyone's all right with that, I'm going to do the talk in English, yeah, okay. So basically, like I said before, I didn't plan to do this. So I thought maybe we can just do some sort of a Q&A or something. So if anyone has questions, just start and I know myself, I'll just continue talking probably. Anyone has a question or yeah, so okay, I didn't think about that because I actually wrote down a few things very randomly on my computer, but maybe I'll stop this for a second and put up my very messy notes because I think that will probably be more helpful for all of you. Well, I guess you can read it. Can I sit down for talking or okay. So for promoting meetups, I think social media is such a complex thing that I still consider myself as a newbie although I have been working for quite some time with it. I think the first thing you always have to ask yourself is what do you want to do and why do you want to do it? So I guess for a meetup that would be to raise awareness for people to come or in the long run for people to come back, for people to constantly see your brand to see your event that even in the beginning if they don't come, they will show up eventually because you're doing such a great job at social media and everyone wants to go to your event. So kind of try to come up with a strategy I would say. So yeah, I mean it's a non-profit meetup I guess, so you can't really invest money, right? So yeah, what I did in the beginning I used to work at a startup and they didn't have much money to invest either. So what I did is just use Google Calendar and use their, what's it called? Just their map to lay out, okay, on January 1st I'm going to post a picture of, well it was a fitness company so I'm going to post a picture of this new product that we have that I took a month ago and yeah, I just planned like that. So January 1st is going to be this post on Instagram for example and then the next day I have this post plan for Facebook and just do it like that and then just use the alarm on your phone or on your computer and give yourself a little reminder that that's what you already have planned to post. So I know a lot of big companies plan like a month ahead in what they're going to post. Of course that's not actually possible for everyone but kind of come up with a plan when you're going to post it and what you're going to post and why is that relevant for someone. Or at least for me that's something I always see people doing wrong. Where are you giving value to someone? Why should someone consume what you're putting out there? So of course your event is going to be amazing but so are a lot of events. So I think it's really important to yeah, just come up with some reason why you're better than others and why someone needs to follow you. And I think especially with social media you have to constantly remind them again why they are doing it. You don't just want to tell how amazing you are but you want to show them that they need to follow you pretty much. Yeah, does that already kind of answer the question? Anyone else? Just specific or less specific question? Are you having something in your company or yeah, anyone need input with anything? Otherwise I'll just kind of continue talking about these randoms. Yeah, so if you have money you can do paid advertisement and on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, whatever but it's well at least from my experience you have to make sure that it's worth it I think or from my experience if you invest just a tiny little bit of money it doesn't do much for you. So I feel like you have to talk about bigger numbers in order to actually reach a lot of people. I just tried it like with my own Instagram account a few times and I invested not so much money because it was my private account and my private money. And of course I don't use like crazy techniques just for my personal Instagram account but of course I try to follow some rules and it didn't bring me much not even many clicks on my profile so not many people actually interacted with that what I posted so I feel like and that's a big part I made a very small graphic in the amount of time that I had. So I think it's very important to use call to actions also so I guess we have created awesome content but just like basic marketing if you have the most amazing product and no one is going to see it no one is going to buy it. So it's the same with social media I'd say and call to actions always work always yeah I see this on YouTube videos on Instagram all the time but someone asks the question like oh how do you do this or just any question that's kind of connected to the post you've made people are going to interact way more than they would if you didn't do that so I'd say use a lot of them but of course make them connected with the post so don't just ask which oh what's your favorite color come to my event that does make a lot of sense so yeah they do work they do work all the time I'd say yeah that if what you're posting is good then it works because a lot of people you use social media and I guess a lot of my friends even do and we're like the the age range that uses a lot of Instagram and stuff and they don't really actually use Instagram they just post like oh had a great night with my friends or something like that but yeah I like actually use it and post something that's relevant and then if the question is relevant or if you're just telling them to do anything really that's related to what you're doing or even share my post if you like it chances are they will and if you don't they won't that's pretty much that because people don't know that they don't know the algorithm of Instagram they don't know why it's important to comment on things if you don't care so sometimes I tell my friends please comment my Instagram picture because this is my job and I want companies to see that I kind of have a reach on social media so yeah I tell my friends to comment because it helps me but a lot of people don't know that it actually helps because Instagram ranks post they have a lot of interaction better and then it will show up to more people if it has a lot of interaction in it so it isn't really well of course you don't want a stupid comment and actually you have to at least have four words so in this Instagram sees it as like a good comment if you have like oh cool that's it's not good for the Instagram algorithm because they will think it's spam so but but tell people it always works tell people write a comment and even if it's your friends in the beginning if it's anyone basically tell them to write good comments in my opinion or from my experience some like upcoming influencers which is a whole other thing they use connection groups on telegram on WhatsApp whatever where they just are all in this together and just comment on each other's posts because that will help their Instagrams grow if their content is good yeah yeah I have many thoughts on that well first of all we talked about this before when we came well when we came up with the content to do this feature actually so you didn't miss it like that but we talked about that from from my experience it's better to just take a few accounts and then actually like do this planning and plan ahead if you can and most times you can plan ahead when you're going to post what and if you have that it's easier to keep up with all the content but also if you have like eight different places where you have to update it it gets hard if you're just one person or even if you're more people than that so maybe try to look where the people are and you said like oh someone doesn't have Facebook and then they want something else but I think most likely if you have like three or four different networks someone is gonna be on one of them and like four is a lot I'd say so and there's different age groups for Facebook and Instagram and stuff where people are at so maybe even at your meetup asks them where do you get your information and then they always say they're coming from very different places but but do you update like so you said it's hard to update all of them frequently right and it's not working well maybe that's also a problem of being like confident to ask in public I don't know I see that a lot that people don't want to be public about what they're saying which for me is not understandable but yeah I mean maybe maybe talk about that as well and I feel like sometimes if you say to people please just ask them and then you can explain again to them that you know we're trying to make this more popular we're trying to make this more well known and provide the best support for you that we can and actually how it's going to happen is you asking this publicly and maybe it helps someone else and I feel like if you it's a lot of work in the beginning it always is but I feel like if you've reached that point and more people understand I feel like you always have to kind of coach your community to be what you need them to be but it works but it's a lot of work it always is so is that question answered or do you want more information on that okay anyone else yeah but honestly I can answer it because I have personally never used hoodsuit in like a company's circumstance I've just people just told me that they use it sometimes and I've had the demo to look you know what it can do and stuff but honestly I think I can't answer that question because I don't have experience in that I don't want to say something wrong it depends I'd say if you have a lot of things to post I'd say yes but in generally we're coming to the point of connecting you always want to be online when you post something I always try whenever I post something for whoever I try to be online for like at least half an hour after that of course that's more necessarily when you have actually a community that is going to interact with your content but always take the time like I wrote down and be there for the people and it doesn't matter if it's one or two people my Instagram I call my personal Instagram is not that big but I do have a big community of people that I don't know and I think it's because I always took the time to interact with them and to you know give them answers through the questions they ask and all of that and I try to do that quickly also because of the algorithm but I do have to say the algorithm is more interesting when you actually are trying to be big in the Instagram or Facebook game or something which I guess from the start is hard to reach not not impossible but hard to reach with a local event but yeah I'd say automation can be helpful and maybe for the beginning if that's gonna going to make you post do it because if you're going to miss it you're not going to post so I'd say if otherwise you're not going to do it do it but also make sure that you're like on top of your game with answering and interacting with the people and I think that's just something I always tell that to people in what is it called when I go some place to hire me or for them to hire me I always say that I grew up with this so for me and I've always been like an internet kid so I always tell the people that you know just be natural but for some people it's not natural to comment on a stranger's Instagram posts and stuff for me it is but for a lot of people it's not but sorry what was the question now I'm out oh yeah yeah okay well I kind of went from there to there because it's connected but yeah I mean it's always it's super connected so it's always if you do one thing like posting regularly that's just the beginning and yeah like I said I'd say to sum up your question use automation if that's going to make you post and then if you have a lot of things to post I'd use it to but otherwise I think it's fine to just start or it's it's better to just start because you can spend hours and hours to research the best program to just post for you and stuff and in that hour you could have or in those hours you could have already planned a month of social media action yeah so well I don't know of any free tools honestly so it's like Hootsuit and others where you have to pay for the service because it is complex so of course they want to take your money for that what I did in the beginning for the startup I just tried to take a lot of like physical notes to where I have to be with my brain and then for example for emails I used help desk no wait what I don't remember Zendesk right and well that was like that was helping me to stay on track with all the emails but we paid for it but otherwise I'd say don't make it complicated in the beginning when I imagine like a meetup or something don't make it complicated don't spend hours and researching the best tools that Audi or someone is going to use eventually that's not what you need that's money you probably can't spend anyway and just just do it like Nike already said but I think it's easier to just try to like get an overview and however you as a person work I'd say like I'm a physical person I'd like rather write something down or like create a wall in my room or something in my office to you know this is all the things I need to take care of maybe you're a different maybe you're a more digital in that case and you just want to have it online or somewhere just create something that works for you and don't make it too complicated yeah yeah that would be my question as well do you want to know where you're mentioned or do you want to just be able to post from one place for example well for my spins it's always you have to always pay for those because it that's complex that's yeah I had to write a few apps for example just to make it easier on my phone but none of them were something I'd recommend yeah or something like that yeah and I think in the beginning it's of course yeah if you get one tweet back it's a lot of work to just always look oh did someone tweet something at me but I think there we go back to just create good stuff and be present and of course I'd say in the beginning it doesn't really matter if you answer within an hour half an hour or something but answer definitely answer and don't be like oh now three days have passed maybe he don't or he don't even doesn't even need my answer anymore that doesn't matter just answer anyway and maybe ask if you can help him another way or something I feel like on social media I always say that be if you're a really nice person be ten times this nice on social media because they don't feel you through you know what you're doing I'd say yeah yeah that's that yeah I think it depends for example I just currently quit my job at a news agency a huge one in Europe and they their Facebook is their biggest channel by far that's where they get by far the most interaction so that kind of maybe brings me to maybe your people are not on Facebook and maybe try to use something else or maybe I don't know what you're posting on Facebook maybe try to use more call to actions maybe try posting different things and that's also a big thing like I don't know what what are you using it for yeah but it like reaching it with what do you want to promote a product do you just want to represent your company or of course yeah yeah yeah but I think that it's always a difficult part because I think that's the thing where it's hard to actually give like I said it's I think it's so important to give value to someone that's following you and when you have a new product of course you think it's and it probably is adding value to that person or that person's life pretty much but I think maybe it's also because it is so hard to actually present something that's not physically there where maybe you have to come up with a more creative strategy to make it more touchable or to to give them more of a reason to do something with it and I think especially with cases like that why should someone comment or like or something they are like oh thanks for the info probably and then of course but you want more interaction of course so maybe use more more call to actions or well you probably am answering all the questions and stuff on it but I think call for actions always work we're at that TV broadcasting company I used to work at we could always see instantly when we didn't ask a question or we did ask a question and it seems so stupid and simple but it always works and yeah I think maybe just before because I feel like a lot of companies that I see they even when they're super big they just post and they're posting their interest then again to the TV company they there are reporters so they post what they think is like a really brilliant piece that they sent on TV or something with it and it's not necessarily what the public is interested to see so of course you have your product you're going to present this product but maybe you can come up with a strategy you know what's in it for the people and then again I'm always very positive for tell them what you want them to do and most likely they will so I guess that that's a big part where you can actually grow the interaction for for your company but also try to use other channels maybe but it's a it's a lot of work to just create a new one and feed that to make it better than the one you've already built but anything is possible right yeah if you have any more questions we okay but it was was it a blog post or something or what was the content of it well of course maybe that's always the chance some people just randomly scroll through Instagram and Facebook nowadays so they see something it happens to myself all the time I like an Instagram post or a Facebook post I'm like wait what and I just go back and sometimes even you know redo the like because I don't actually like it at all you know but I feel like that happens and also maybe what you did we know that the advertisement looked good but it was not appealing enough for people to actually click on it and do more with it it's a lot of times it's just very small things that can make it or break it because well of course you probably you know clicked all the things who you just want to reach what I they're doing in their life so hopefully you've went into the right point to to get the people that's the first thing and then of course it's always you know the question of is that relevant to the person that it you know showed up to and maybe sometimes it's just you know there's people of course you all know them that just talk about SEO all the time maybe the title was not appealing enough maybe the graphic was not appealing enough or maybe you know that person wasn't actually that interested in the content anyway but it's it's hard to tell from a distance for sure so you thought there was like automatic liked like you know bots or something or maybe you were just surprised because so many actually well but yeah it's weird that they didn't click on it that I mean it's always more people liking it than actually using it but but it's hard to tell from a distance why exactly that didn't happen but yeah can't answer that yeah and it's a lot I think especially when you're not actually there you invested money but I think when you're not looking to invest a lot of money just trial and error it's a lot of trial and error and it doesn't take long for you to see certain stigmas and stuff you know to see all people are doing this when I do this and people are not doing this when I don't do this or you know all these ways yeah when I started I studied something with media and when I started doing that a lot of my or when I actually got that first internship at the startup I managed to gain them 15,000 followers and I hadn't done any work related stuff with Instagram but I just use it and I tried things and just I knew what worked and what didn't and that was already that that was just me using my free time to try things and see what happens pretty much yeah but of course not everyone is a student and has time for that it depends it all depends on what you're doing so some people say post just frequently whatever that means some people say post like one or two three times a day but it you know it it all comes back to do you actually have something to say in that moment if you just spamming people with your content and no one really cares about it because it's not actually relevant why would you post it and I think it's also it all comes back to if you already have a large following I'd say it's more important or it way more important to constantly post because you're in the algorithm game but if you're not anyway I just say post when you can but you know hope because also the algorithm is it's a lot of it's a lot of things constantly updating and stuff and a lot of people are really annoyed by it because you're doing something and it works and then the next day they change the algorithm and you're just not visible anymore but actually what I recently tried is not everyone is going to do that but if you're new on Instagram and the the people coming to you are new you're you're visible to them so my friend recently unfollowed me to see if she refollowed me she would see my posts again and she did so the people that follow you you knew they are going to see your posts but if they have been following you for three years and they never used your stuff they are not going to see that anyway because Instagram things he doesn't actually or the person doesn't actually like it so and that goes back to have people do what you want them to do because in the end they're not maybe they care and that goes back to your question as well maybe they they care to see your content but if they never interact with it they might not see it anymore although it's their platform you know so it really depends I'd say better post something that's of value as often as you can then being like okay but I have to post like once a day in order to stay relevant because I feel like especially with words worked camps and meet-ups it's not actually manageable to post that often yeah but also I don't know if you know g'dankentanken g'dankentanken that's a company that exactly and I see their event constantly on Facebook and it's just a one-time event you know I don't know exactly what they're doing of course I don't work there but that's an example of an event that just happens once it's actually this November and I think like even last November I've already seen their appetizer like 10 times so I think if it's a big event like word can be Europe or something it's not it's not completely out of line to actually you know have like a huge reach but I also feel like as someone being completely new to the WordPress community and the whole WordPress thing actually you know it's for me it's all about the community always and that's why I'm here but I feel like sometimes the way it's something is seen inside like from all the people already using it already being in there is a different way than you get new people to come in and it doesn't mean you have to show a different outside to what is inside but I think sometimes it's just basic marketing in the end because like how I got here of course it was my brother but also it was like oh this sounds kind of like something I would like but I think if the if the marketing if the matched message would be a different one I would have come a year ago and I think especially because nowadays so many people are working in the internet on the internet you know there's a huge amount of people that could be or is probably interested in this kind of community but the question is are you actually speaking to them and then we go again to who are you trying to talk to and how do you need to talk to them and where can you talk to them and all those sorts of questions and I feel like it's a especially with those types of events it's always kind of a mixture on how much to plan in advance and ask yourself a lot of questions some of those that I wrote down or we just talked about and then just do it because in the end if you're there you're there and if you're not there you're not there so if you didn't post anything or if you never post anything nothing happened so it doesn't matter how good your post is going to be that you're going to post in half a year if no one you know and for six months no one saw anything of you so I think it's a mixture of you know planning and actually making a strategy and then just doing it but I think you know it all comes down to content and giving value to someone and then then you have to see or look like where can I reach those people maybe it's good to invest in some Facebook ads maybe not maybe tried and maybe it doesn't work maybe it does because it's different for all the companies like she just said maybe a Facebook page of someone works really really well still and then other people are just completely losing their people on Facebook or even the company that I used to work at they stopped their Facebook at one point because their Instagram was blowing up and they were like well we look really good on Instagram why don't we show everyone that cares our Instagram instead of people seeing us like this still small company that we are not anymore on Facebook so it's a constant reviewing of things and then you know asking yourself pretty selflessly what you think people are going to want to see yeah that was my very broad answer to that yeah I definitely can I don't have it yet because I always want to do that and it's so much work that I never started and we just talked about that is not very efficient but I can definitely do that I'd say I don't really know one page exactly to take your information because I personally listen to all sorts of podcasts from very different people from very different niches and then I take everything they say and put it and try and again ask myself can I use this for this or maybe for this and stuff like that so I'd say I'll make a thing and I'll tweet it out and if you care to download it then you can download it might take a little time but you know I'm here so yeah do this yeah yeah okay yeah okay yeah that makes a lot of sense I guess that's because that's a niche as well that makes it easier but of course I have never really I'd rather talk about the things I've already done because then I know what works what works not I have not grown a social media for a meet-up so if anyone needs help with that maybe I can even help you and we can test if it actually works but otherwise of course I'll prepare something and then you can check it off hopefully pressures on mine oh yeah come on please use this so yeah I'll I'll definitely let everyone know when it's finished and then is a Google dog better because I like to do stuff like that is that to complicate it will all right okay okay yeah yeah okay to get the questions and stuff yeah yeah I can do that yeah yeah thank you yeah you did a great job doing this thank you and if anyone happens to have questions we can still talk always well my favorite podcast is the millionaire and yoga pants it's it's well it's a blonde American woman that looks very I'd say standard but she talks about like very interesting topics regarding social media growth she is she is she's one of those people that definitely just works with a niche but you can use it heard just and she always invites people that are very interesting I think so she gives a lot of great input on social media growth and yeah that's my favorite and Bucci radio is great that's from Amanda Bucci she's a fitness youtuber and Instagram and yeah she started an Instagram course actually recently and so she definitely has great knowledge she has I don't know like 600,000 subscribers on Instagram for all followers and Instagram so she's great I listen to a lot of female podcasts so I don't know if that really can properly answer your question they're great thank you
