2019 social media and online marketing trends to try before the year is over.
This is a guest post written by Katie Ko Social. More information about Katie can be found at the end of the article. 

Is anyone else in denial of the fact that we’re already over halfway through 2019? Fall is quickly approaching and before we know it, 2020 will be here. 

So, what should you focus on for the rest of the year? The short answer: a lot of things. 

One of the hardest parts about social media is the pressure to “keep up with the trends.” I hear it from clients on a weekly basis: what should we be doing? How can we stay relevant?

Which social media platform is right for my business in 2019?
Whenever I talk with clients, their biggest concern is whether or not to invest in social media. I'm peppered with questions ranging from: will it actually produce an ROI, (or a return on investment)? How do you even measure ROIs with social media? How do I know which platform is right for my business?

On top of that, the list of social media platforms goes on and on. And in the shifting social sphere, it can feel like an uphill battle trying to gain momentum on one platform, let alone all of them.

10 things you didn't know about me

  1. When I was 6-years-old, I fell in an industrial fan and broke my radius, ripped my frenulum and front teeth out of my mouth, and sliced my hand. I still don't know how it happened.
  2. I have never enjoyed watching TV. And to date, I have only finished 3 series: Game of Thrones, That '70s Show, and Friends.
  3. Anger is the emotion I feel the least.
  4. I'm a 4 on the Enneagram (coincidence?), and most definitely am introverted.  
  5. I hate not sleeping in a bed.
  6. My first car was a green 2001 Subaru Outback that earned the name "Big Nasty." I adorned the steering wheel with a fake mustache and all. 
  7. On the subject of "firsts," my first job was at a local pizzeria. And then I worked as a delivery driver for Jimmy Johns (and refuse to return). 
  8. I make my deodorant. 
  9. I was in 5th grade the first time I tried vegetarianism. 
  10. Courtney killed Kurt Cobain.
