The Struggles: Part 2
Picking up where I left off, Instagram's algorithm can be overwhelming, confusing, and down right frustrating. They're constantly changing and updating their app, which can make it increasingly hard to keep up with what you need to do to have your page perform the way you'd like it to.

The Struggles of Building and Maintaining Your Own Brand
Sometimes starting your own brand can be daunting, especially if YOU are the basis of your brand. I joined Instagram late 2013/early 2014, just for fun. It wasn't until 2016 that I realized I had become a part of a gaming community on Instagram. I had barely gained any followers in those two to three years (I had maybe 300), and had no idea the possibilities and opportunities that Instagram had to offer.

A Dying Breed: Insta's Aesthetic
Post what you want, when you want, and where you want. Who said life was supposed to always be curated.

Becoming ABW. Top Story - March 2019.
I started this blog when I was 16. I was a sophomore in college and decided it was time to make an account that focused on what interested me. Since there was really no representation for Black Women, or dark-skin women, I took the time to upload one post per day. I did not think much of it. The number of my followers grew, but I did not pay much attention to it.

Why Everybody Is Dropping Their 9 to 5 and Traveling—and Will It Kill Our Work Force?
First off, today's society is so different than it was even a decade ago. Social media is now a thing, and people are enjoying spreading their individuality and doing what they love. Because it has been a pastime for years now, social media has never been taken seriously and has just been thought of as websites to make friends off of and share ideas—but now, people are making an income off of it and businesses are growing due to it. So, who's the joke now? So many people are hopping on this and trying to learn how to be successful off of it. They're dropping their jobs now. This is amazing, because even five or 10 years ago, this would never been thought of—at least not as much as it is now.

Gain More Twitter Followers
The average Twitter account has 707 followers. That number is a significant increase over 2012 when the average feed had around 250 followers. The rise of the celebrity tweeter is part of the reason for this increase, but if you are new to Twitter or trying to gain a name for yourself in your industry using social media, you will need to compete with millions of other accounts to be heard above the noise. The first step is to figure out what you want out of tweeting. Small business owners and creative freelancers often use it to connect with customers, including showing them new products, but a feed that is only yelling “buy my stuff!” won’t be appealing. Instead, your feed will have to provide useful information to readers to make it successful. In addition to content, check out these ways to grow your audience on this powerful platform.
