Good Social Media Morning, guys. Let's get down to it. Welcome back. If you guys are new to Social Media Morning, just to give you a quick breakdown, what we do here is I'm gonna give you all the latest social media updates, some great content that I found from around the web, and any news on potential upcoming conferences that you should be at. So let's get down to what's happening today in the feeds. So we hear a lot about Zuckerberg and the Winklevoss twins and everybody involved in the Facebook deals, but the reality is we don't hear a lot about the 3rd co-founder, Saverin. That's right, Saverin is out there again, guys. He is investing in a new startup that's looking to drive entrepreneurs forward, and that's pretty exciting news. If you want to hear more about what that looks like and what he's doing, as always, guys, links are provided down below. If you are new to this though, go ahead and click that like button, that subscribe button, and that little bell next to it, and you'll get notified the next time I go live so you don't miss great news like this. Dennis Xiao and our friends over at Content Marketing World want to get you off on the right foot, and it's great to have a ton of great goals and aims and targets in the new year, but if you're making some very critical simple mistakes, you might be falling flat in your social media efforts. Check out the article down below, 7 Things That You Can Do to Avoid Making Those Headaches and Make Small Steps to Do Great Things on Social Media This Year. Looking for a little inspiration in your marketing strategy? Live, which is a huge conference over in the UK, is compiling an awesome list of the top 30 marketers that inspire in 2020. Again, if you're looking for that inspiration, guys, it's a great place to get started. For those of you that don't know, I geek out a little bit on data. I love to better understand what my community is doing, and I think that's core to really good social media. The folks over at Databox have put together this massive report— huge. So if you have the time, this isn't a quick bite-sized report, this is a massive meal, like a 12-course meal that they presented on how you can do a really thorough SEO breakdown of your property, of your website, and figure out, okay, what am I doing well? How do I improve? How do I grow? How do I build? I can't recommend it enough, guys. Yes, it's not directly social media, but believe me, guys, if you are a social media or digital marketing agency person, consultant of any kind, this is going to be really important for you to better understand how people are interacting with your brand and community. and how you can then translate that back out into your content. Couldn't recommend this report enough, tons of great data and information in it. And last but not least, we have a minor update from Facebook on their privacy checkup. That's right, they're looking to be a bit more transparent about how Facebook actually works, what they do with your data, what they don't do with your data, what you can do with your profile, who can see it, who can't see it. So if you're worried about your privacy over on Facebook and you still have an account, you haven't closed it down, then this is probably a great place for you to go just to figure out what actually is happening. Behind the scenes at Facebook today. That's it for today, guys. As always, I hope that this information helps you get the day started off right. And if you have anything that you would like to see in these programs, something that's missing, something that you feel would bring some value to you, you'd like to see more podcasts or YouTube videos, let me know, guys, and I will make sure to try to include those in future episodes. Have an amazing day.
