This week, Elon Musk decided that it's a good idea to mess with Twitter branding by changing the Blue Bird we all know and love with the Dogecoin logo that we all know and meme.
TikTok is business as usual this week as it's served with yet another blow in the form of a hefty fine.
You can now catch up on social media news and the latest marketing strategies weekly with the Nuelink team.

Trends 📈
The "Proof You’re Not Ugly, It’s Just the Angle" trend: Use this sound and add a text overlay that reads "proof you're not ugly, it's just the angle," and capture yourself from an unflattering angle. Then switch to a more flattering one.
The "My Mom Told Me to Just Be Myself" trend: Create a hilarious video by adding a text overlay saying "My mom said just be yourself and people will love you" to the first clip, followed by a funny or embarrassing clip of you acting like a total weirdo.
The "I'm Happy With You" trend: Use the CapCut template to make an announcement, no announcement is too small! Simply add a text overlay and share your news with the world. Whether it's a small accomplishment or a big milestone. I especially recommend this trend to businesses that want to share something with their audience.
The "Oh No I’m Devastated" trend: Use this cheeky audio to chuckle at something that's supposed to get under your skin but it actually doesn't. This one is great for responding to internet trolls.
Memes 🤣
The "Barbie Movie" memes: The official Barbie movie trailer and cast posters are finally here! And of course, the internet wasted no time in creating hilarious memes from the much-anticipated rollout, especially the "This Barbie/Ken is" moments.

Our Two Cents on Social Media Marketing 🧙♂️
While marketing is the primary goal of your social media strategy, try to go for the soft sell. Users are tired of the constant bombardment of pushy ads and that could put them off against your brand.
Run a photo contest on your social media channels. Ask your followers to share photos of them using your products and services on social media.
Spy on your competition and find out what sounds and songs they are using on their short-form content. This will make the process of finding sounds for your content easier, especially if you have a business account.
As usual, use Nuelink to keep your social media marketing plan running without investing much time and resources with its automation and scheduling features.
