As we head into a new year, I want to pause and name something important. Learning how to use social media strategically is no longer optional if you want a business that grows with consistency, integrity, and longevity. This isn’t about trends. Or dancing. Or becoming someone you’re not. It’s about learning how to clearly communicate what you do, who you help, and why it matters — in a digital world that’s not slowing down. Social media is a skill set. And like any skill, when you learn it well, it compounds. It gives you: • More influence without more hours • More clarity instead of constant second-guessing • More confidence showing up as yourself • More professional growth — even if you never plan to be an “online personality” That’s why I’m already mapping out trainings, events, and deep-dive workshops for the new year. But before I decide what we focus on… I want to hear from you. 👇 Tell me in the comments: 1️⃣ What topics do you most want to learn or go deeper on next year? 2️⃣ Are there specific events or trainings you’d love me to host? If I don’t have the expertise, I’ll find the expert ❤️ 3️⃣ What feels confusing, heavy, or unfinished for you right now when it comes to social media or your business? Nothing is too basic. Nothing is “behind.” Your answers will directly shape what I build for this community. I want to teach what actually helps you move forward. One clear next step at a time. I’m listening. Drop it below 💛

I’m going to start posting viral storytelling reels that I think we ALL can do. If you don’t know how to do reels yet, watch the Reels training in the Classroom (yes, you’ll need to post and engage here for it to unlock for you…. Well worth it!) The thing about viral trends? These are timely. And they are important to grow your following and to show the platforms that you’re paying attention and are playing the game as a creator. So watch it. See if you like it. Envision how you would make it YOURS. And go for it. If you see a viral trend that you love? Drop it here in Skool for everyone, too! (I made a new category!) Now a bit of teaching: Storytelling reels are what tend to go viral. They are “top of funnel” (attraction) content. If you’re building your audience, go with storytelling reels! If you’re on IG, use the Trial reels function with storytelling reels…. Daily even! Here’s this one: broll with multiple clips. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSMPZsXjsNj/?igsh=MW14NWU5a3Nvem8zZw== How do you find other viral reels? Simply stroll through your reels tab. 95% of those will be viral. The other 5% will be trial reels.

Gotta tell a bit of a story. I woke up Saturday night (3am) and had an idea for a post. I got up and grabbed my phone and told Chat gpt what was on my brain. You guys, I edited it when I got up, no I didn’t stay up at 3 😂 and found a recent just plain picture, no make up. Just me I have had lots of great comments and some people have followed me. This has never happened. I’m grateful and suddenly so overwhelmed. This work has been pivotal in me learning what to do and how to do it I’m so incredibly grateful for Ally Mona. I’m so glad I stepped into my fear on sooo many levels. I’ve been frustrated, I’ve cried, I’ve froze and now I feel like I can REALLY REALLY DO THIS!! Just had to share

Remember today I’ll be teaching during the Co-Working time…. I’ll show you how to create a Brand Voice Guide so your writing actually sounds like you and not some AI chat bot. Hope to see you there! (And still remember to submit your content for the week!!) Ally
