    Social Media Manager 101: how to stay visible, build confidence and excel in your career

    Social Media Manager 101: how to stay visible, build confidence and excel in your career

    Welcome to Part 2 of how to slay in social media. This episode is for those of you who are already working in social media and want to keep growing your skills and career, but it is also for the people who are trying to get into this industry! 



    We look at: 


    Who the average social manager looks like (according to the stats!!!)
    The difference between working in an agency and in-house
    Social media manager experience 
    How to grow in your career (staying visible, asking for more responsibility, taking initiative and how to keep upskilling and staying up to date with Gen Z and Gen Alpha trends) 



    If you want to hear more of our advice, be sure to send us a DM on Instagram and let us know what you want to talk about on the pod!



    You're never going to believe this, but last week, I saw this tarot card reader appear on my TikTok FYP and she literally said that an influx of abundance is coming my way, and thousands of people are going to start following our podcast. I said to myself, no freaking way, wrote 'I CLAIM' in the comments and then prayed to St Zuckerberg himself. 

    I have this feeling that you, the person reading this, are one of those thousands of people, so listen to Ms Tarot Reader and follow, give us five stars, comment how much you love us, share with your friends and follow us on TikTok and Instagram. 



    And as the French say, soo la voo or whatever!!

    Eve Winter Scott: Co-Founder of Best Life App

    Eve Winter Scott: Co-Founder of Best Life App

    Well hello! We finally have another esteemed guest joining us on Approved, and today we are chatting with the fabulous Eve Winter Scott, co-founder of Best Life App. At the ripe old age of 26, Eve has achieved a lot in her life and in today's episode, we explore the ups and downs of being a business owner and how Eve stays so laser-focused in her career. 

    We chat through what it was like opening and closing her first business alongside her husband Tyler, how she navigated founding a tech start-up as well as the lessons she has learnt throughout her journey. 

    We enjoyed chatting with Eve and learnt a lot from her, so we hope you do too!

    So the craziest thing happened to me the other day. This lady came up to me and said, 'A curse is upon you' and I said, 'Do I know you?' and she said, 'You do now'. She went on to say that if the listeners don't follow Approved and give us a five-star rating, we will literally be cursed for the rest of our lives? Isn't that insane? So if I were you, I would like, follow, subscribe, share, comment and while you're at it, say 'Approved' three times in the mirror to reverse the curse. Crazy huh!!! 

    And bonus curse-free points go to those of you who follow us on TikTok and Instagram. Peace be with you!

    Is Plastic Surgery an Addiction?

    Is Plastic Surgery an Addiction?

    We deep dive into the world of plastic surgery in this week's episode of Approved.

    We ask:

    - Should celebrities disclose what surgery they have had?

    - Is plastic surgery ethical?

    - Can plastic surgery be an addiction?

    - How young is too young to start doing work on your face or your body?

    In this episode, we don't seek to shame anyone who has undergone the knife, but instead, we deep dive into why we are so fascinated by looking a certain way and if editing the way we look (both online and offline) is simply just becoming more normalised in everyday life.

    Look I shouldn't have to tell you this, but just do it already! Follow us, like us, give us five stars and send us $5 for coffee! And yes, if you're not following us on TikTok or Instagram already, I (Nicole) unfortunately have to call the police on you :( Sorry about that :(

    Okay! See you soon xx

    The Lore of Fandoms

    The Lore of Fandoms

    Nicole is out sick this week, so Producer Jess is stepping in to co-host this week's episode alongside Hannah!

    In today's episode, we tuck into the juicy topic of Fandoms. How do they work, and what happens when they go wrong? 

    We look at how celebrities such as Taylor Swift, Doja Cat and J. K. Rowling have created strategic, online relationships with their fans and how they use those relationships to market and sell their work. Is it ethical? Does it work? What happens when fans turn on you? 

    Plus, Who TF Did I Marry, a 50-part series by creator Ressa Tessa that went viral on TikTok the last few weeks, had us in a chokehold. From being married to a pathological liar to having the likes of BMW, Delta Airlines and Hilton Hotels in her comments, we look at how social media can be the perfect opportunity for brands to build awareness and a new cohort of followers without even lifting a finger. 

    You know the drill. Like, follow and subscribe and if you don't, you will get ten years of bad luck. We don't make the rules! 

    Follow us on TikTok and Instagram to keep up with us too! Okay! Love ya!

    Sister Hotline: Female Friendships

    Sister Hotline: Female Friendships

    On this week's Sister Hotline, we discuss one of the most difficult topics of all - female friendships. 

    How do you make friends? What if you don't feel feminine enough to bond with the girlies? Don't feel like you relate to other girls? How to deal with a friendship breakup? 

    These are the questions that we ask ourselves time and time again and we offer up our advice to you on how to navigate the female friendships in your life. 

    Want to see more? Follow us on ⁠TikTok⁠ and ⁠Instagram⁠ - and be sure to send in your questions so we can answer them in future episodes. 

    As always, follow us wherever you get your Podcasts and rate us five stars!
