what would happen if you woke up tomorrow and Instagram was GONE? 😱😱😱 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you remember last year when Insta was having some tech glitches and wouldn't work for a few days? Well, what if it would've completely gone away? Would your business be able to handle it? Would your people know where to find you? 🗺I know that I would still be able to contact my people and continue to build that relationship with them. Wanna know my secret? 🤫 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This, my friends, is rented land. It's an AWESOME place to connect with your people, but we can't just stay here. Your goal should always be to get those people on your email list. 💌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because your email list is YOURS! You have a PRIME spot in your audience's inbox, which is a pretty awesome thing because they are more likely to check their inbox than IG anyway. 🤩 And if anything were to happen to social media? You would still be able to contact them and nurture them. 💖 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you aren't fully committed to starting an email list yet, listen to this podcast episode: kaysemorris.com/whyemail and then drop your questions in the comments, and I'll do my best to answer them! 📧💕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ BUILD THAT LIST, BABY! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #emaillist #ceoteacher #teacherpodcast #businesspodcast #teacherbusiness #igteachers #teachergram #businessquote #teacherentrepreneur #teacherspayteachers #buildyouremaillist #businesstips
⬆️the face of a momma who lives her best life in the summertime 😍 ⤵️keep reading to find out how that's possible ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Systems and processes are KEY in my business, and anytime I can automate something? Well, let's just say I'm all for it. A few years ago, I actually joined Tailwind just as it was starting and still love using it to this day. 😍 Why? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's like my personal pinning assistant! 👩💻 I can load up a whole month's worth of pins and never worry if they're getting posted on time. 🙌🏼 I don't have to sit at my computer for an hour a day pinning. I can live my best life camping with my family, making memories, and not worry about being around wifi. (because if you were around in June, you know that even when I have the best intentions to stay connected, wifi while camping is a struggle! 🥴) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now, just like with every platform, there are best practices and things you shouldn't be doing. This is what's working for me: ✅pinning horizontal featured blog images ❌ Using Smartloop ✅creating and pinning fresh content ❌Pinning too much of the same thing to the same boards ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you use Tailwind? How are you feeling about Pinterest these days? Let's chat! ⬇️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #teachersoftpt #pinterest #tailwind #teachermomma #teacherslovesummer #teacherpreneur #teachertools #techtools #systemsandprocesses #teachingteachers #teacherfriends #teachertips #iteach
drop an 🔥 in the comments if you need this reminder today ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I used to have the comparison bug. I would scroll through the little squares on my phone, looking at all of the beautiful classrooms, adventures, homes, food, kid activities, offices, and everything else. Sometimes, they would make me happy or spark an idea. But there were times that they just brought me down. And it wasn't the people who were posting those pictures who did that. It was my own mind playing tricks on my heart. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Once I learned the power of shifting my mindset, practicing gratitude, and setting my intentions, those sweet pictures didn't hold me down. Instead, I became so thankful for what I had, passionate about what I had to share with the world, and full of purpose to impact as many teachers as possible. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now, I 1000% believe in collaboration over competition. If we're gonna look over at someone else running the race next to us, let's grab ahold of her hand and run it together, instead of thinking about if she has better form or is in better shape than us. Oh and don't forget to cheer her on too! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So if you're feeling that comparison bug creeping up, get real focused on your purpose. Run after that thing and keep your eyes on the prize. That's how you'll win, every time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do you make the shift in your mind when the comparison bug sets in? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lifequotes #quotestoliveby #teacherquotes #instateachers #teachermotivation #edupreneurs #teachersofinsta #iteachK12 #iteach345 #teachersfollowteachers #instaquote
is branding really important? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let's play a game. Are you in? If there was a black arrow that looked like a smile on the side of that box in between my husband and me, would you know where it came from? What do you think of when you see this? 🎯 Or what about this? 🍏 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Branding is important because it connects your business and brand to your customer. Successful businesses use a couple of fonts and colors, and maybe a specific graphic (Like the companies above) to define their brands. We want our ideal customers to be scrolling IG, TpT, or Pinterest and to be able to stop their scroll and recognize our post. How do we do that? BRANDING ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let me tell you, these branding decisions aren't always easy. 🥴 Especially if you love fonts and colors as much as I do! 😍 But when you make those decisions and run with them, your business will be more cohesive and recognizable. And that's what you want at the end of the day! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, what colors, fonts, and images define your brand? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #branding #teacherbusiness #successfulentrepreneuers #teachersofinsta #tpt #stopthescroll #teacherlife #georgiateachers #teachersidehustle #ceoteacher #kindergartenteacher #firstgradeteacher #secondgradeteacher
