    103: Ethically, Should You Use AI as a Social Media Manager?

    In our little online business bubble, everyone and their dog knows what ChatGPT is, and it seems like every platform we use has some sort of AI feature incorporated into it. But does that mean that we should be using it, and what are the ethics around that? And what even is the best way to be using AI? Because as we all know, ChatGPT still writes like a robot and we can spot it a mile off! In this episode, we’re diving into the minefield that is the world of AI, covering all sorts of topics from use cases, ethics, legalities and even *that* Charlie and the Chocolate Factory event (if you missed the drama surrounding that, you’re in for a treat!). So, join us as we get our thoughts in order around the rapidly booming world of AI!
    In this episode, we’re chatting about:
    The rise of AI and whether we need to watch our backsWhere we have implemented AI into our business and it works really wellWhen you really ought to declare you’ve used AIGetting comfortable having the conversation with your clients about AI

    101: Handling Social Media Backlash and Negative Comments on Your Content

    What’s our least favourite thing as social media managers? Definitely when negative comments get posted on our content or our clients’ content. We all know people don’t mind saying things behind a screen they’d never say in real life, but we still have to handle it!
    In today’s episode, we’re going to talk all about different types of comments we’ve received from different types of people, from trolls to angry customers. It can be really hard to know how to respond in various situations - or whether you should even respond at all! But never fear, you’re sure to finish this episode with an action plan of how you can move forward in dealing with negative comments with confidence.
    In this episode, we’re chatting about:
    The effect on your mindset when negative comments appearHow to avoid seeing negative comments when you don’t want toWhich comments you should respond to and which you should ignoreWhen to filter, block or delete the people in question

    99: Stop Sliding into DMs with Cold Pitches

    A salesman at the door, or a DM-slide - it’s all the same to us. Please stop!! If you don’t even know our names, or what we do for a living and why your product or service is exactly what we’re looking for (and probably, even then!) we don’t want to hear about it. What we do want is intentional networking and relationship building, and that’s part of what we’re going to cover in today’s episode. It might be the long game, but it’s honestly the best way to find clients without feeling like you’re getting the metaphorical door slammed in your face.
    In this episode, we’re chatting about:
    Why we truly hate cold pitchesThe long game when it comes to finding clients and why you should play itStarting discussions with people in a natural wayWhy warm pitching is absolutely encouraged
