Social Media Presence or Real Presence

Michelle and Nicola kick off with a classic tangent — phone contact names, the chaos of letting kids near your iPhone, and a trip down memory lane to the early days of social media (RIP MySpace).Main Topic: Visibility Isn't Just PostingBoth hosts had unusually busy weeks and barely touched social media — and it turned out not to matter. They dig into why real visibility and social media activity are not the same thing.Key takeaways:The algorithm doesn't guarantee your content is seen — even by your own followers. Posts from three weeks ago still pop up; yesterday's announcement gets missed entirely.Posting constantly is not the same as being visible. Visibility is about being recognised and remembered.In-person showing up — presentations, networking events, client work, phone calls — often outperforms social media for building genuine connection.You might put out 30 pieces of content in a week, and someone sees one. That's normal. Stop feeling like you're spamming.Consistency in visibility doesn't mean daily posting. It means turning up — in whatever form works that week.Real conversations reveal your true tone of voice. Social media posts can follow; they reinforce the connection, not create it.Word of mouth is a second layer of visibility you don't control — but you absolutely benefit from.Accountability CornerThe first official accountability club member: Emily Ballard, Tropic Ambassador. Emily wants to launch a wellbeing morning/afternoon for local businesses — think yoga, creative workshops, and maybe a cheeky tropic pampering session. She had the wobbles, but Michelle and Nicola are checking back in. Emily, they're coming for you.Rock My WorldMichelle: Saw Miss Saigon in Nottingham — helicopters on stage, incredible cast, highly recommend even if you know nothing about it going in.Nicola: Anti-rock of the week — the clocks changing. Mild jet lag achieved.Get in Touch 📧 [email protected] 📱 Instagram: @thereinventiondiariespodcastwww.mrsstylewright.com www.nicolaaucklandphotography.co.uk
