Hey La! It was so good to hang out with you and Norris first of all! Second-instagram is a great way for me to connect with other businesses and see what's new with people. So glad you suggested it for me. But can old men with cowboy hats stop requesting to follow me stop? Haha! Or people that wanna follow me and then have nothing on their posts-how would I know if I wanna follow them? Pretty strange to me😂 Love you! Xoxo ❤
Thank you, Latasha! Your content is so well researched and informative. Always a pleasure to listen to your episodes - on here or other platforms. Onwards and upwards!
I am a beginner Social Media Manager, and your contents really helps me to start my journey as a SMM, but recently I've been facing some issues, it's about how can I take inspiration to crate similar looking post, like all posts created by a single color palette. Can you please help me here?
This was super useful, thanks so much. I haven't really engaged with Meta AI but I probably have to, to know how I feel about. I think Instagram is just trying to jump on everything to stay relevant 😅 I'm also going to play around with the new stickers. I pray you get more clarity on how to run your Instagram and you get new content ideas. Rooting for you!
As someone wanting to try and become a creator I like all these changes, because it feels like aggregators getting more views thus paid for content you may not yet be getting paid for doesn't seem fair. same with creators getting a lot of views consistently but when you are new you don't have thousands of followers yet, people have to find you, but you get lost among bigger creators with more content already created
I'm beginning to have a love and hate relationship with IG, mainly because of the constant changes. I understand being innovative but it's a bit much, so I am prioritizing my TH-cam channel for my bookkeeping business. My goal is less social media this year, so I will be considered more in person options as well.
I think me like many others are over how much effort it takes to figure out Instagram and by the time you've created your monthly content ahead of time it's already no good bc IG changes constantly. Too much effort for little results.
Great video, Latasha! Can you make a video about carousels tho? Like how can we make carousels and how do we make sure that all of our carousels go with our brand.
14:44 I honestly believe they have all the tools to make it super personalized, but they're purposefully waiting to launch the over-personalization. If everybody's feed was curated directly for them immediately, people would be turned off. Ya know?
If we utilize the nine grid, the thing that always trips me up is am I supposed to put something in the captions section for each of the post? Because writing caption is what drains me the most.
I guess you don't have to since it's more about the grid view, but it wouldn't hurt to add some additional context on whatever each post is sharing. The good thing is you only need to do this once!
Great podcast! I am still not sure how I feel about meta AI. Instagram has been a tricky one to navigate when it comes to what performs well vs doesn't get any reach...but I'm hoping it gets easier to navigate again soon!
7:18 yeah, it’s for a reason - those accounts just don’t bother to integrate naturally into the environment/communities. It’s far more of an after hours type vibe. Also re threads views - some users have had that ability for a couple months, not me, but people were complaining about it at the time lmao
That's a good question! I think they're fine, this is more about downloading someone's reel and reposting it without any additional changes. But with the potential TikTok ban, I am cautious about relying too much on CapCut
Will this effect trends like the ones using very catchy footage and transitioning into original content? For example reels where they use an unoriginal video where someone trips which transitions into original content from the brand for the rest of the video.
I don’t see the link to leave a review as a business owner I know the effort is real…..and would love to leave review…….btw don’t ever not want to ask if u don’t say it I wouldn’t hv thought of it

Hey Latasha, really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with Best Quality Editing in your videos better than your Editor with good pricing and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your videos to reach to a wider audience ? Pls let me know what do you think ?
Hey Latasha , very good video . I can do better editing in your videos which can help you to get more engagement in your videos . Pls lmk what do you think ?
Instagram should stop giving us so much non sense features that no one needs, and give what actually matters... REACH
That’s cuz they want us to pay for ads 😭😭
14:54 This is perfect - exactly what I needed 🤘
I think it's a great solution for a lot of people!
Great episode! Just shared with friends, please keep this type of research and insight coming. So much value, thank you!
Thank you!!
Right when I was planning to start a theme page to build up my audience before starting the actual business. Great lol
Thanks, for such an informative video. You always produce the best in-depth SMMA videos.
I feel like I’m seeing more old content now than ever before, things I’ve seen many many times, I keep seeing over and over again -
Especially on youtube. Im seeing 18 year old videos lol
Thank you for this. I am so happy I found your podcast!
Thank you so much for this! So helpful!
First time watching your content. Very informative and easy to follow . Thank you

Amazing video! This was very helpful, thank you! You just gained a subscriber.

What is SMM 🤔
It's filter
@@Brraveit filter? I am talking about graphics
Use a graphic design program and copy and paste there the names of the colors

I feel the same about IG lately but I have to stay because of my clients. Videos like this keep me updated on the platform ❤ Thanks
Thanks for clearly explaining what all this means.

Great info! Where does the ‘remix’ function stand in all of the aggregator updates?
In my option a small creator is any account with under 10k that can’t get certain features with accounts over 10k
Love this Alex!!! ❤️ Also Pamela Reif workouts are fire!
My only coach and mentor ❤… Be blessed 🥰

I hear you! TH-cam is the best for long-term growth in my opinion 🙌🏽
im confused so what is working and what is not ??
Hi newer to your channel..enjoying the insight...
What if you repurpose a reel on several platforms but still original?
I think me like many others are over how much effort it takes to figure out Instagram and by the time you've created your monthly content ahead of time it's already no good bc IG changes constantly. Too much effort for little results.
Great video, Latasha! Can you make a video about carousels tho? Like how can we make carousels and how do we make sure that all of our carousels go with our brand.
Ooo I love this.
thank u so much for this!
Wonderful insights
Why do they just allow everyone to re-post??
Many of us have been suffering the same identity crisis.
14:44 I honestly believe they have all the tools to make it super personalized, but they're purposefully waiting to launch the over-personalization. If everybody's feed was curated directly for them immediately, people would be turned off. Ya know?
Also, so many servers would be needed for the data storage for each individual??
That's a good point!
If we utilize the nine grid, the thing that always trips me up is am I supposed to put something in the captions section for each of the post? Because writing caption is what drains me the most.
I guess you don't have to since it's more about the grid view, but it wouldn't hurt to add some additional context on whatever each post is sharing. The good thing is you only need to do this once!

Agreed, lots of changes to keep up with! Thanks for watching :)
Is sourcing like stitching a reel from someone else is that gonna be bad practice too?
Another awesome podcast from the beautiful Latasha and love 🥰 it because it is so informative and helpful. Love 💞 Latasha.
7:18 yeah, it’s for a reason - those accounts just don’t bother to integrate naturally into the environment/communities.

Any ideas, why i cant see the little arrow next to songs? 😢
I wonder how Insta will start treating the capcut style greenscreen templates, if it will seem original or not?
That's a good question! I think they're fine, this is more about downloading someone's reel and reposting it without any additional changes. But with the potential TikTok ban, I am cautious about relying too much on CapCut
Can I work under your agency?
Will this effect trends like the ones using very catchy footage and transitioning into original content? For example reels where they use an unoriginal video where someone trips which transitions into original content from the brand for the rest of the video.
To my understanding, no. This is more about downloading someone's reel and reposting it without any additional changes/commentary!
You can see your views in threads
Yeah, someone else commented that too! When I made this video I don’t think that was available on mine but I see it now :) thanks!
I don’t see the link to leave a review as a business owner I know the effort is real…..and would love to leave review…….btw don’t ever not want to ask if u don’t say it I wouldn’t hv thought of it

Brilliant
2:34 same thing happened to me and they didn't tag me till I demanded. How do we direct replace these vids?
The new feature will be rolling out over the summer and will be done automatically to my understanding
@@thelatashajames Thank you!
So Ironic and hypocritical..what is Facebook? What is Instagram? OTHER PEOPLE'S CONTENT! THEY ARE AGGREGATORS! Great update by the way. High 5.
Threads shows views.. so that should be sound
Where do you see views? Edit: omg just saw it at the top of the post! Thanks, interesting!
I think I’m one of the rare ones 😂I was creating AI art on Instagram since 2022. So Meta AI just feels like an extension of that
Hey Latasha, really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with Best Quality Editing in your videos better than your Editor with good pricing and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your videos to reach to a wider audience ? Pls let me know what do you think ?
So like are meme pages dead
If they're not adding a unique spin to the content, pretty much!
@@thelatashajames How about aesthetic videos we use to make our reels on a faceless theme page?
Hey Latasha , very good video . I can do better editing in your videos which can help you to get more engagement in your videos . Pls lmk what do you think ?
