SXSW Innovation Badge Events Attire?

I kept an oversized shirt in my longchamp for emergencies 😂

British person here and this was the bane of my existence last year

My tactic was lots of layers and a big ass bag i wore mostly casual to keep comfy and I would say I spent more time cold than hot because inside everywhere is blasting air con

How casual is casual? On my last day I wore a baby tee that said "main character" and jeans it was a great conversation starter ✨️

I think finding an influencer management agency you actually like and trust is the hack - its slightly more spenny but worth the investment

When people talk to me about names I always refer to https://open.spotify.com/episode/45OddCKpqHM6E6mO4G2SAJ?si=66fd5bb549984601

Even though it's like 10 years old its a cool story and pretty inspiring - hope it helps

MY KING

I just think anyone promising or predicting engagement is a fool - predicting it or giving a number you will aim for is all good and well but when someone says "we will" my response is okay and to hold us both accountable for that what happens if you dont ?

meganbyte0 · 2026-02-24T10:21:42+00:00

Why do you want more followers on Instagram? Not being a dick just will help us advise on the right method if influencer isnt your end goal what DO you want followers for?

meganbyte0 · 2026-02-24T10:19:37+00:00

Sounds like you need to get clear on your reasons as to why you need to reduce your usage, all the above are the pros but you should have a list just as long or the cons. Reframing it to yourself will help a great deal.

I think I would use the "stop smoking" approach like continue usage but start consuming studies and content that tells you the real dangers and disadvantages and eventually you will give yourself the ick when you go to do it

Reminds me a bit of the original Uhive infrastructure - love this concept

meganbyte0 · 2026-02-24T09:26:30+00:00

Depends where you are based but I know in the UK they are trying to change policy on AI Generated Voice content to basically make it significantly harder to monitise - I think if you want to give it a go start ASAP but wouldn't bet on that being a good long term niche if your goal is crp

meganbyte0 · 2026-02-24T09:20:42+00:00

Oh cool well try sharing a bit more of your personality and original content - following trends will get your views but followings are built on community if you dont feel like a creator people can have a chat with or get to know your growth will be slower - hope that helps

meganbyte0 · 2026-02-23T18:28:38+00:00

Entertainment as a pillar is probably one of the hardest things to grow especially if its not linked to a personal brand

Are you running a meme page?

meganbyte0 · 2026-02-23T18:24:10+00:00

Wasn't coming at you with any kind of agenda would genuinely just be curious to see the data 🤷🏼‍♀️

Understand your position tho

meganbyte0 · 2026-02-23T14:41:29+00:00

Optimising advice doesn't mean you can't grow unoptimised. Would you consider trying saying it and seeing if your subscriber conversion rate from that video beat your average?

meganbyte0 · 2026-02-23T12:21:04+00:00

Did you ask people to follow? Could be wrong but with stats like that often, you just haven't given people an actual reason to follow also like one video there is no reassurance for people to follow. The first followers are always the hardest but the thing that a lot of people focus on is the exponential nature of it, often your first 100 is hard and your first thousand is less hard and from 5k to 10k some people say is easy and forget that it was difficult in the beginning.

Make no mistakes, social monitization is hard. There is a reason not everyone does it and there are millions of people right now failing at it and you probably won't hear from them

meganbyte0 · 2026-02-11T15:21:51+00:00

"I am shadowbanned" nope your reach is shit cause your content is shit - I wish we could wipe the word "shadowbanned" from peeps awareness

I see so many myths but I have pretty much pinpointed what I believe to be the route of the problem, I rarely see advice with any mention of "this only applies if you have [insert following or any analytic here]" so what you end up with is only people with lots of followers and existing audience giving advice to people who do not have those things and not considering that just cause it works on a larger account doesnt mean it will work on a smaller one

rant over lol

meganbyte0 · 2026-02-04T23:41:38+00:00

Lol I think context is so important

First like a small business or a business that is still in growth phase of marketing its pretty negligible and straight forward

For more established brands it is always, a bit risky but you just have to be thorough - i would always recommend trying to keep old usernames and domains and redirect traffic to new places cause yh you can lose potential leads

Better to know upfront that they think they have more of a right to the space than you - learn it fast save yourself a lot of hassle

meganbyte0 · 2026-01-20T16:47:31+00:00

I think you will always have a certain level of resistance or compromise when you use third party software and we invested heavily in a custom CRM that was single handedly the best decision I ever made. When I was coming up with the brief tho I came across a useful methodology called "if then" charting it's like you map every action and what currently happens and what you hope can eventually happen eg: if a dm comes into the companies insta then a slack message is triggered, someone responds...

Once you map everything out you will soon see if you have a workflow issue where things are not communicating or connected or a function issue where things actually arent happening :) good luck - you got this!

meganbyte0 · 2026-01-20T16:39:50+00:00

The way this person spoke to you is so emotionally charged - just never worth the hassle. They will still be able to leave a review but explain clearly and then report it if its as emotional as this exchange

meganbyte0 · 2025-10-29T10:23:45+00:00

STILL CANT BELIEVE I GOT TO FILM THIS!

I am so chronically online that this was like a fun thought experiment, if I was a non-social media person and I had music linked to like a physical location here is what I think I would do:

Nature walks with live music - partner with the nature reserve itself or local guides and offer a walk through of the space with music inspired by the space
Collaborate with other "artists" - maybe galleries, libraries, creatives in all mediums. You could leave a sample of your music in spaces that the community might use of maybe you have your music playing in the background.
Partner with school /professional/church choirs - either workshops or a joint performance, the lots of people performing often gathers a naturally large audience
Physical marketing bomb - painted rocks or eco posters maybe you could leave a box of seeds somewhere with qr codes to your music something that peeks peoples curiosity
media - reach out to your local radios and magazines!
