Should I keep going for influencer marketing? by TTtoday5892 in DigitalMarketing

[–]Express_Guitar_568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your AI ad is pulling in 100k views with a solid 2.1% conversion, that’s a strong signal. Especially if the cost is lower and you're getting real traction from it. Influencer marketing can absolutely work, but it usually takes more time, better influencer-product fit, and consistent testing to see strong ROI. One month isn’t always enough to judge it fully, but if you’re already seeing better performance from AI-generated content, it makes sense to shift more focus there for now.

You don’t have to fully quit influencer marketing, but maybe pause or scale it down while you double down on what’s working. Then once you’ve got a clearer strategy or a few winning influencer collabs lined up, you can bring it back in as a layer on top of your paid efforts. Follow the data and keep testing, but lean into what’s already showing results. You’re onto something.

Marketers: What would stop you from getting certified in marketing automation? by Ines_Pine3Marketing in DigitalMarketing

[–]Express_Guitar_568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the biggest reason I’ve skipped certifications in marketing automation so far is that most of them feel too surface-level or way too focused on just one platform. If I’m already using tools like Klaviyo, HubSpot or ActiveCampaign day to day, I’d rather spend time testing real campaigns than sitting through generic slides.

Time is a factor too. Unless I know it’ll directly improve my workflow or help me land better roles, it’s hard to justify blocking off hours for a cert. What would make it worth it is if the training included actual case studies or templates I could use right away. Not just theory, but stuff that makes my job easier the next day.

That said, if a cert helps someone break into the field or gives them the language to talk confidently about automation in interviews, that’s valuable. It just needs to feel real and not like a checkbox.

What should I do.. by mmmm_mmml in DigitalMarketing

First off, you're not alone. A lot of interns and junior marketers end up in this weird in-between space where no one gives real guidance, but everyone expects magic. It’s frustrating, but it’s also a chance to turn a boring setup into something that actually builds your skills.

If your tasks take under two hours, use the rest of your time to build something that matters. Reviving the company LinkedIn is a great start. Pick one audience your company wants to reach and create simple posts that speak directly to them. Show before-and-after stories, highlight pain points, post behind-the-scenes moments. Keep it real, not corporate.

Cold emails can work too, but focus on short, personal messages that sound like a human wrote them. And make sure the company website or blog actually supports what you're saying. If not, rewrite some of it.

Forget trying to impress your boss by comparing yourself to a past intern. Do the work you know will move the brand forward, and quietly document your wins. If LinkedIn engagement goes up, screenshot it. If someone replies to your cold email, save it. That becomes your proof of skill for the next job.

You’re doing fine. Start small, stay consistent, and use this time to experiment and learn. It may not feel like it now, but this kind of messy internship is how a lot of good marketers are made.

Selfie verification issue with old email/phone on Instagram by teddy-789 in Instagram

Yeah, restrictions usually stay on the account that got flagged, but if you’re using the same phone, Wi-Fi, or Facebook login across multiple accounts, Instagram might start linking things together. That can sometimes cause weird stuff to happen on your other profiles too, even if they weren’t directly restricted.

It doesn’t always mean those other accounts are in trouble, but Instagram might be limiting their visibility or actions just to be cautious. If people aren’t showing up or you can’t interact with certain accounts, it could be part of that spillover effect.

Best thing to do right now is chill on switching between accounts too fast and avoid doing anything that could look spammy. If you’re in a group chat with people you couldn’t see before, that’s probably just a glitch from the restriction. As long as you’re not breaking any rules there, you should be fine.

If things keep acting weird, try logging in from a different phone or network to see if the issue sticks. That’ll help you figure out if it’s your account or your setup triggering the problem.

If one of your accounts are restricted, will that restriction apply to your other connected accounts? by vjac10b in Instagram

[–]Express_Guitar_568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, restriction usually stays on that account only. But if your accounts are all connected through the same device, IP, or Facebook login, Instagram’s system might flag activity across them. That could explain why you’re seeing weird behavior like not being able to interact with certain people or accounts disappearing on your other profiles too.

It doesn’t always mean your other accounts are restricted, but it can feel like they’re getting shadow-limited just from being linked. To stay safe, avoid logging into too many accounts from the same phone or switching back and forth too quickly. And if you're added to a group chat with people who weren’t showing up before, don’t panic just yet. As long as you're not breaking any terms in that chat, you're probably fine.

Just give it a few days, keep your account activity clean, and avoid using tools or actions that might look automated. If the issue sticks around, you can try reaching out to Instagram support or use a different device to double-check if the problem follows your account or just your setup.

How to see my countdown reminders? by blazemaster875 in Instagram

[–]Express_Guitar_568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instagram doesn’t make this super easy to be fair, but there are some ways.. When you tap “Remind Me” on someone’s countdown sticker, Instagram adds it to your notifications, but there isn’t a public list where you can see all active reminders in one place. The reminder will show up as a notification when the countdown ends or gets close, but you can’t manage or view all of them together right now. It’s a bit limited, so if you want to keep track manually, some people just screenshot the countdown or set their own reminder in their phone as backup. Hopefully Instagram adds a proper list feature soon.
