Use Stories to Share Your Message

Stories are a terrific way to reach your audience, and build know, like, and trust. They’re also the single best way to get in front of other eyeballs (or replace Twitter’s retweet) on platforms like Instagram. Instagram is my go-to place for stories, but you should share your story content on your personal Facebook profile, LinkedIn, Twitter, and potentially TikTok as well.

1. Show up daily: vlogs are best ROI for time-to-impact, polls and sliders are also fun
2. Use the Clipomatic app (or similar) to auto caption for people watching on silent
3. Shout out creators and their content
4. Use your phone’s screen or video capture with microphone to comment on your content
5. Use the Spotify share feature to share to IG stories with Spotify link
6. Use Canva templates and stock video to put messages in front of video

About our Guest: Tim Cavey

Tim Cavey is a husband, stepfather of two, 8th grade teacher, assistant principal, and the host of the Teachers on Fire podcast. In 2019, he completed a Master's in Educational Leadership degree that re-ignited his fire for teaching and put him on a new path of growth, professional reflection, and content creation. Tim's a firm believer in the growth mindset and advocates often for the kinds of informal professional learning that can be found on social media and in blogs, vlogs, or podcasts. When he's not creating content or spending time with his family, you'll find Tim hiking, flying his drone, or paddleboarding in the chilly waters of the Pacific northwest.
