Reels Monetization Is on the Horizon

A weekly newsletter about all things social media

It seems that Meta is following in the footsteps of YouTube and is in the process of coming up with an ad revenue-sharing plan for Reels. This comes after they announced that they will be pausing their Reels Bonus Program.

TikTok is calling on its creators to help them polish their image as yet another country bans the app from official devices. 

You can now catch up on social media news and the latest marketing strategies weekly with the Nuelink team.

Trends 📈

• The "I Feel Bonita" trend: Use this sound and hype someone up by asking them if they feel "bonita", aka pretty. This is a great trend for an upgraded product or service as well. 

• The "Why I'm Single" trend: Use this sound, courtesy of Selena Gomez, to point out something so obvious. Don't forget to add some text overlay to share with your audience your thoughts.

• The "Worsaaaaa" trend: Use this sound with text overlay to talk about a moment when you hit rock bottom. This could be a great way to talk about some professional or personal struggles.

• The "No" trend: Use this trending audio to talk about a big no-no for you. It could be anything from businesses neglecting their social media marketing to friends posting bad pictures of you. 

Memes 🤣

• The "Lyle, Lyle Crocodile" memes: Shawn Mendes is making waves on TikTok for a popular meme where he is featured as the voice of an animated crocodile in the children's TV series, Lyle, Lyle Crocodile. It's a very silly meme, but silly memes are social media's specialty.

Our Two Cents on Social Media Marketing 🧙‍♂️

• Asking people to follow you or like your posts on social media may seem like outdated SMM strategies, but in reality, they still work. Make sure to include CTAs in each piece of content you share. 

• Keep your audience coming back for more content by creating a weekly series. This will give your followers something to look forward to every week. Make sure to stick to a specific time for the series and create branded hashtags.

• Share your expertise and offer helpful advice in online forums like Reddit and Quora. This will help show how you can give value to your audience. Just make sure to target niche communities relevant to your industry.
