Instagram Updates – Instagram Changes

Instagram Updates – Instagram Changes

Instagram Updates and Instagram changes has caused those who love Instagram Marketing to go in a ‘tizzy.’

Anytime there is change, people are triggered by fear of what they will lose, forgetting that there can be positive outcomes from change as well.

Will the Instagramchanges have a negative or positive outcome?

Let’s take a look at the positive changes from the Instagram updates:

Instagram Changes – The Positives:

Instagram knows you follow too many people and don’t care about most of the things they share.

People miss on average 70% of their feeds.

If you follow 300 people (and there’s so many that follow 1,000’s), and you check the app twice a day (do you really check twice a day, or is once about it?), what really do you see?

The new “Notification” feature optimizes your feed based on your relationship with the person and timeliness of the post.

Ah, back toRELATIONSHIPS!  (If you are a marketer, you of course know that everything is based on RELATIONSHIPS!).

Instagram is showing you more of what you want, based on your actions, at the top.

The content won’t be in chronological order, but after scrolling through possibly 8 pieces of content, the stream goes back to normal.  Simple as that.  Nothing is disappearing or being taken away.

The updates are for the overall good of the user, and user experience. 

It’s getting better and better.

Instagram Changes – The Negatives:

Opportunists, according to Social Media expert Gary Vaynerchuck, are trying to get their followers to adjust with notifications, and worried about Instagram “taking away content” like Facebook’s news feed, or Instagram will “ruin itself.”  

If your content isn’t valuable to the user, then that can be a problem for you.  It all hinges on the supply and demand ofattention.  Have you not been providing valuable content or information? That is a negative… it may be a time to reflect and improve your business work ethics, practices, intentions, and motives. 

Marketing is work.  Are you a solid oak tree planting your business for the long term and greater good, or are you in a business to get a quick ‘buck’ and be a fly-by-night, ‘get rich quick’ kind of person?  Bye-bye if so…   (By the way, it goes as quickly as it came)

If there’s too much noise, people stop paying attention.  (Now that’s a negative!)

So what happens to brands that have heavily invested in creating wonderful content on Instagram? While larger brands have the marketing budget to pay for what was once free media, blogshops and other small businesses may not be so lucky.

Consider this your wake up call, because if your business relies heavily on Instagram as a channel, customer acquisition is about to come with a hefty price tag instead of a perfectly edited photo, according to >>TechCrunch. >> 

“If you think this is a negative, turn it into a positive.  Quit complaining about the situation, adjust to the reality of the updates and use it as an opportunity to be a first-mover and get ahead of the game.” ~ Gary Vee

Instagram Changes … be Happy, it’s a good thing!

Twitter Update – Twitter Trends

Twitter Update – Twitter Trends

Twitter Update on Twitter Trends!  The Twitter 140-character limit is about to change to as much as 10,000 characters in a single tweet!

Reports say CEO Jack Dorsey has been researching methods to jumpstart user growth.  The design would still appear the same way as it is now which shows the first 140 characters, but there will be an indicator that there's more content for users to click on if a tweeter wants more information. 

What could that mean in practical terms?

It might turn a tweet into more of a blogging space, which could be very powerful as blogging is skyrocketing.  It also could keep users more on twitter, as they review content. 

Many of twitter’s die-hard users are not supportive of such a drastic change.

Dorsey, however, wants to grow the company’s stagnant user total, and that means new innovations which would make it more user-friendly and create more meaningful tweets and conversations among users.

Also, Twitter has faced criticism from first-time users on its difficulty to tweet, so this might reach a more main-stream audience, and possibly blow up Twitter into a powerhouse with new growth!

This could be one of the biggest changes ever… but wait there’s more…

The company also has been testing the effects of reverse chronological order tweets which means whoever tweeted first is inevitably last on your timeline.  

Twitter wants to reward its best content; algorithms could determine which tweets merit a break in a possible new timeline. 

Twitter’s goals is to become the first thing people check each morning when they start their day!

Personally, we at Social Media FiredUp think the 140-content to 10,000 change as an added user-friendly innovation, and feel it is a powerful, innovative and positive strategy!

What are your thoughts of these new Twitter Trends?
