[5:52] How to decide on which platforms to use

“If you want to use Instagram and Facebook and LinkedIn, you can post the same posts. On all three, even though some of them have different features. But I like to create bigger posts for LinkedIn because they have the availability to use up more space on there.”

[9:23] Why you should use Instagram stories

“If you post maybe three videos of yourself talking and people click through, but they finish your whole row of stories. Then that looks better than if they just exit out of your stories because you've talked too much or put something too long on there.”
