    Beyond Short-Form Video: What Content Will Work On Social Media?

    Short form video is still powerful, but it is no longer the only content that matters. In this episode, we explore which content formats are expected to dominate social media in the UK in 2026 beyond reels and short form video, and how business owners can stay visible without burning out or forcing themselves to be on camera all the time. You will learn why relying on one format limits your reach, how carousel posts create deeper storytelling and stronger engagement, and why educational and behind the scenes content continue to build trust long after trends fade. social media 2026 content trends UK content strategy for business beyond reels instagram carousel posts educational content behind the scenes content stories engagement small business social media authentic content creation confidence-led social media sustainable content strategy value-led marketing build trust online social media school lesson

    The IG Followers Myth: Why A Smaller Aligned Audience Will Always Outperform A Big One

    In this episode you will find out why Instagram follower count does not equal business success. We tackle the frustration so many business owners feel when they focus on follower numbers instead of audience quality. You will hear why a growing follower account does not automatically mean a growing business and why the number at the top of your Instagram profile should not dictate your confidence. We talk about why chasing followers can hurt your reach, how fake accounts and bots damage engagement, and why Instagram rewards interaction and meaningful connection, not arbitrary growth. You will also learn how to look beyond vanity numbers and start paying attention to who is saving your posts, sharing them, messaging you, and actually engaging with your content. This episode will give you clarity and confidence to focus on building the right audience, deepening connection with aligned followers, and creating content that actually helps your business grow. One question. One simple shift in thinking. One lesson you can apply today. instagram followers followers vs business growth instagram engagement quality over quantity social media mindset small business social media instagram strategy authentic audience growth meaningful engagement instagram bots instagram analytics serving your ideal client confidence on social media social media clarity

    How To Let Go Of Your “Perfect” Content Expectations Without Lowering Your Standards

    Perfect content feels safe, but it is one of the biggest reasons business owners stay silent online. In this episode of Social Media School, I explore why perfectionism slows growth, fuels burnout and leads to inconsistent posting, even when you deeply care about your brand. I talk about the real cost of spending hours editing reels and polishing carousels that never get posted, and why consistency and connection matter more than flawless execution. I explain why brand standards are not about perfection, but about integrity, value and showing up for the people who need you. You will learn how to reframe perfection without lowering your standards, why algorithms and audiences reward regular presence, how to use stories to build daily connection, and how to shift from asking is this perfect to asking is this valuable. If you are holding back content because it does not feel ready yet, this episode will help you move forward with clarity and confidence. Consistency builds trust. Perfection builds pressure. You get to choose which one you lead with.

    How To Build Camera Confidence And Finally Boss Video Content In 2026

    Confidence on camera is not something you wake up with one day. It is something you build through practice. In this episode of Social Media School, I answer one of the most common questions I get from business owners who want to use video but feel awkward, stiff or intimidated by what they see online. I break down why comparison is holding you back, how confidence works like a muscle, and why you cannot judge video results until you have shown up consistently. I share simple, low pressure ways to start building camera confidence, including using stories, talking to your phone without posting, and reframing the camera as a real person rather than a judging eye. I also explain why imperfect video often performs better than polished content, how batch filming reduces pressure, why captions are non negotiable, and how to stay focused without relying on scripts. This episode is about helping you feel more comfortable showing up as yourself on camera. If you want to build trust faster, create stronger connection and finally feel confident using video in your business, this episode will help you take that first step.

    Your Algorithm Proof Social Media Engagement Strategy for 2026

    Every time the algorithm changes, I see business owners panic and feel like they need to overhaul everything. In this episode of Social Media School, I break down why most people do not need to reinvent their strategy to stay visible in 2026. I share what actually matters when it comes to engagement and why chasing algorithm updates will always leave you feeling behind. We explore why saves, shares, comments and real conversations matter more than likes, and how shifting towards educational, value led content builds trust and authority over time. I also talk about why engagement is a two way relationship, how the way you interact with others affects your own visibility, and why thoughtful conversations create far more reach than posting more content. We look at why short form video, personal connection and behind the scenes content are essential for sustainable growth. If you want a social media strategy that survives algorithm changes, builds genuine connection and supports long term visibility without overwhelm, this episode will give you clarity and direction you can start using straight away.
