Hannah's Happenings

I have gotten frequent messages and inquiries about posting on social media that attract followers, views, and the desired audience. With that said, I decided to make this a blog post that hopefully answers a few questions you may have in hopes of better understanding social media, the algorithm, and expanding your brand awareness. I believe there is no  one right way  to market or post on social media. The algorithms are all diverse and change  frequently . However, I have gathered a few recommendations that will help you grow your Instagram and Facebook pages on a regular audience basis.   1. Post Frequently If you want a consistent flow of new followers, likes, and views, it must start posting consistently. If you only posted once a month, most likely, the algorithm would not show your post in the Instagram feed, or your audience may not be aware that you are back from a social media fast. To gain brand awareness, you must post frequently. 2. Wha...

 Are you stuck in your comfort zone??? I remember hearing the quote "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone." during high school. I cringed at this concept because I have always been shy and self-conscious in  un comfortable situations.

Being myself should not be compromised by my fears. I should try and go behind that "zone" I put myself in over the years.   Going beyond the ordinary routine applies to my faith as well!

It is not possible if I become trapped in my selfish insecurity.   This blog post may not seem like it has a purpose, but I want to challenge you with one thing; Do one small thing out of your comfort zone every day. You will be surprised by how fun ...

Not everyone is going to like you. That is reality . I have had such a hard time coming to terms with this concept. My ‘people-pleasing’ mentality cringes at the thought that not everyone will like me, my personality, and my actions. I had this idea today that not everyone will like my art. Oddly enough, I feel at peace about it. I have my 'target audience' and my art friends that will encourage me and like my work. And if not, that is fine too!   Think about this: Not everyone likes Vincent van Gogh’s artwork. No, really, I have met people that think his work is trash. But those opinions do not define his work. People travel around the whole world to view his paintings in famous museums. And, others like myself love his paintings and find inspiration from them. This same concept or metaphor (however you want to look at it) goes for individuals too.   You may not be loved or liked by everyone you meet in life, but that does not define who you are and who you...
