Oh to be 9 again!
Let’s be honest: most people aren’t properly reading your social media posts. At best, they’re scanning. And when they do read them, they’re processing your copy at the level of a 9-year-old. 😳 So, as a social media manager (or ads manager) simplifying your copy matters is really important because: 1️⃣ Confused people don’t convert 2️⃣ You’re writing for brains in scroll mode 3️⃣ Good ideas get lost in word soup That’s why we love this free tool. It checks your readability score before you post, so you can make sure your captions are at the right level for your readers.

We’ll aim for nine next time 😅 |

Freelance life is meant to feel freeing, right? But when you’re a social media manager, it can feel more like you’ve swapped a full-time boss for five different new ones, 47 logins, and so many tabs your laptop looks like it is growing something! Burnout is one of the most common reasons people leave the freelance world, it breaks our hearts when we see incredible social media managers give up because they’re stretched too thin. But burnout doesn’t just happen overnight. It creeps in quietly...
I don’t know about you, but I hate remembering passwords. Yet somehow, I can never forget one very important one: the Deliveroo passcode! They use a simple two-digit passcode that never changes, and coz it's always the same, I always remember it! That’s exactly why we built the Hubsy Power Hour portal in the way we did. Because you don't need the added admin that comes from sending follow-up emails with the recordings and any notes you promised to send over, but you also don't want your...
