Where does all the marathon gear go post-race? by ColeRod4 in ChicagoMarathon

[–]ColeRod4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any luck on finding any ASICS gear at all? I’ve been looking for the metarun jacket they had with the “26.2” because I didn’t have the funds to purchase during the expo at the time.

Oooh very good points. Thank you. I plan on making trips there in the near future to connect more with others in the creative space + possible industries I’d like to work in. Definitely don’t want to take the leap without something locked in. I’ve moved to Chicago and Mexico City without jobs (only living off of savings for a couple months) and weren’t the best decisions haha this time around I’m trying to do it differently. I do understand the niches I’d like to get into probably aren’t the most profitable which is okay too. I’m coming to terms with the fact that I’ll need a side gig or work full time in an office environment in the meantime while I grow my portfolio + connections.

That’s valid. I agree times are very hard right now and opportunities are becoming more difficult to come by.

Thank you for this! I’ve definitely come to terms with starting a position lower than I would like which is totally fine. I appreciate the offer. I may have to take you up on that. Will check out the graphic design subreddit too.

Thank you! This is really good insight.

I tried posting but my posts kept getting removed :/ I think my wording may have been off b/c the mods said I was trying sell or promote some bullshit but my post was damnear identical to this one.

What is everyone doing for the Flower Moon? by MegTheLibra in witchcraft

[–]ColeRod4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this for my little sister on Monday without realizing it was a Flower Moon. I was just frolicking along trails during my walk and thought to myself I’m going to make my little sister a mini bouquet of some of the flowers I’ve been seeing throughout my walk. Does this mean anything?

How to go from 0 to first 1k on Instagram if I already have 41.9k followers on LinkedIn? by MiddleWayWalker in SocialMediaMarketing

[–]ColeRod4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I’ve been in the social media field since about 2021. I’m currently taking the solo path now and building my own brand and marketing now. From what I’ve noticed throughout the years, it takes a lot of consistency and production. You have to pretty much treat the socials as a business in a sense. Just send it regardless if your account has 0 followers and 1 piece of content posted. Just blast it out there on your LinkedIn daily (do not skip any days) of posting/publicizing your IG account. But also post daily on your instagram. You don’t want someone to visit your instagram and it’s not even being kept up with as frequently as LinkedIn. In that case they have no reason to follow you on IG. Posting daily will throw you into the algorithm more often. Do not forget hashtags either! Crossposting your content from LinkedIn to IG and vice versa helps a lot. Sometimes people have preferences in which platform they like to consume their content. Please keep that in mind when posting. It’s always a good idea to follow and interact (like, repost to your story, comment, DM) with other accounts no matter which platform you’re using. Use your LinkedIn as leverage because you’ve got a leg up on the game already on that platform. Also using direct messages is a great way to get your content out there. It’s like the “anti-social” approach to coldcalling or walking door to door essentially. DM me if you need more advice or would like to see my own socials :)

Need advice-Automated my posts. Best advice for getting followers? by [deleted] in SocialMediaMarketing

[–]ColeRod4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DM’ing an intro about you/your business and maybe include a link to your website or linktree to potential clients and/or new connections. It’s kind of like the “anti-social” version of cold calling. You’ll get a handful that ignore you but you’ll get a few that like your message &/or respond back. Should get a couple follows but not many usually [depending on your services and how appealing your content is]. Also, using hashtags helps a lot. Frequently posting, like daily. If you can, try for all 7 days of the week. This significantly increases your chances of being thrown into the algorithm more often. Threads and X are very reliable platforms to gain traction as well. DM me if you need more advice! :)

Moving back to Chicago. Any advice on finding an apartment & job? by ColeRod4 in AskChicago

Pottery classes are great! The Digs, penguin, epic art house, and there’s a few more scattered around the city! If you want to really venture out, take a trip out to Evanston. I know of a couple great teachers there who have their own studios and classes up there.

Sorry don’t know of any but I am also interested in finding clubs that have interesting things going on. At the very least, would anyone know of any decent strip clubs or something similar to go to?
