    In this episode of the Instagram Stories Podcast, I interview Chelsea Bradley, a social media strategist, who shares insights about her journey and expertise. Chelsea discusses her background in journalism, her transition to social media, and her approach to copywriting. We delve into topics such as crafting effective social media posts, the importance of being succinct, and strategies to stand out in a crowded market. Chelsea also offers practical tips on improving your copywriting skills and ensuring your message resonates with your audience. Towards the end, Chelsea talks about her involvement with a local Little League's social media and the impact she has made. About Chelsea Bradley: Chelsea is a social media strategist and consultant who emphasizes the importance of community and a solid social foundation. Her approach to business and live is to lead authentically, solve problems, connect and make a difference. She has worked with 150+ brands and 25+ agencies for over 15 years and spends her free time at Little League, San Diego Padres games or on her boat on the Pacific photographic sharks, dolphins and whales. Episode Highlights: (1:26) Effective copywriting, encompassing captions and emails, aims to capture attention and convey messages succinctly, informatively, and occasionally with humor. (7:15) Differentiating oneself in a competitive market necessitates pinpointing and communicating unique qualities through copywriting. (7:54) This may involve specializing in a niche area or emphasizing a distinct selling point. (12:26) A technique for discovering a unique voice and key messages is to engage in free writing without focusing on formatting. This process can help uncover authentic expression and messaging.
