Hey, you've got sand on your head...

We found this dugite (Pseudonaja affinis) digging a hole. It was relatively relaxed about us, and casually slid away after a little while.

Throwback Thursday

Snek "Scarf"

I don't know what was going through my head when I decided to cast this on. It was a lot of fun, very mindless / endless i-cording for a solid portion of the pattern. Hardest part was certainly sewing the head insert, haha.

He turned out pretty cute, but I think the imbalance of the weighted/stuffed head against the rest of the body didn't work super well for my expectations of a scarf. He lives around my scrap vase now, keeping it safe.

Unlocking Success: Strategies for Effective Social Media Marketing”

In today’s digital age, social media marketing is a critical component of any successful marketing strategy. With billions of users active on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and TikTok, the potential for brand growth and customer engagement is immense. However, leveraging these platforms effectively requires strategic planning and execution. Here are key strategies to unlock success in social media marketing in 2024.

1. Understand Your Audience

The foundation of any successful social media strategy is a deep understanding of your target audience. Start by creating detailed buyer personas that include demographics, interests, pain points, and online behavior. Utilize social media analytics tools to gain insights into your audience’s preferences and engagement patterns. This data will help you tailor your content and messaging to resonate with your audience, increasing engagement and conversion rates.

2. Set Clear Goals and KPIs

Define what success looks like for your social media efforts by setting clear, measurable goals. Whether it’s increasing brand awareness, driving website traffic, generating leads, or boosting sales, having specific objectives will guide your strategy. Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) such as engagement rate, click-through rate, conversion rate, and follower growth to track your progress and measure success.

3. Create High-Quality, Engaging Content

Content is the lifeblood of social media marketing. To capture and retain your audience’s attention, focus on creating high-quality, engaging content that provides value. Use a mix of content types, including videos, images, infographics, and articles, to keep your feed dynamic and interesting. Storytelling is a powerful tool — share behind-the-scenes glimpses, customer stories, and brand narratives to build an emotional connection with your audience.

4. Leverage Influencer Partnerships

Influencer marketing continues to be a powerful strategy in 2024. Partnering with influencers who align with your brand can amplify your reach and credibility. Choose influencers who have a genuine connection with their followers and can authentically promote your products or services. Micro-influencers, with smaller but highly engaged audiences, can be particularly effective in driving conversions.

5. Utilize Paid Advertising

While organic reach is valuable, paid advertising on social media platforms can significantly enhance your visibility and target specific demographics. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn offer sophisticated ad targeting options, allowing you to reach users based on their interests, behaviors, and demographics. Experiment with different ad formats, such as carousel ads, video ads, and sponsored posts, to find what works best for your brand.

6. Engage and Interact with Your Audience

Social media is not just a broadcasting tool; it’s a platform for two-way communication. Engage with your audience by responding to comments, messages, and mentions promptly. Encourage conversations by asking questions, running polls, and hosting live sessions. Building a community around your brand fosters loyalty and encourages word-of-mouth marketing.

7. Monitor and Analyze Performance

Regularly monitor your social media performance to understand what’s working and what’s not. Use analytics tools provided by social media platforms to track metrics like engagement, reach, and conversion rates. Analyze this data to identify trends and insights that can inform your future strategies. Continuous optimization based on performance data is crucial for long-term success.

8. Stay Updated with Trends and Algorithm Changes

Social media is an ever-evolving landscape. Stay updated with the latest trends, algorithm changes, and best practices to ensure your strategies remain effective. Join industry forums, follow thought leaders, and participate in webinars to keep abreast of new developments.

Conclusion: The Path to Social Media Success

Unlocking success in social media marketing in 2024 involves a blend of strategic planning, creative content, and continuous engagement. By understanding your audience, setting clear goals, creating high-quality content, leveraging influencer partnerships, utilizing paid ads, engaging with your audience, and regularly analyzing performance, you can harness the full potential of social media to drive brand growth and achieve your marketing objectives.

Day 10 in Australia

We had a fab (though exhausting) day today visiting Wadjemup/Rottnest Island!

We had to get up early, but "luckily" the jetlag worked in my favor and I was awake before my 6am alarm. Wife was feeling almost entirely better. We managed to leave the flat just past 8am to walk to the ferry. It was very hot and humid, even at that hour, so we arrived at the harbor already very sweaty.

We took the 9am ferry out to the island. Wife and her sister sat inside the ferry. However, I wanted to be outside on the ferry, even though I was too late to get an outdoor seat. So I stood up for the entire half-hour ride, enjoying the cool wind (fucken wimdy) and the ocean views and air.

When we got off the ferry, we got our bikes and helmets. To my surprise, my bike was actually a good fit; I could sit on it with good posture, and changing gears was easy. The brakes were very squeaky, but it was otherwise perfectly rideable. We spent a little while getting oriented before picking up a snack. But on our way to the bakery for the snack, we saw a few quokkas! Two adults and a youngster who kept hopping pouncily onto its mother! They were just as cute as advertised!

So at that point, I already felt the visit was a success. But actually, the whole day was great.

What's great about visiting Wadjemup is that there are no cars allowed on the island, only bicycles and buses. So cycling is actually pretty safe. We cycled a total of nearly 12km, including some rolling hills; that's the most exercise we've had since we left home. We made lots of stops, of course. We looked at views, spotted a king's skink, took various photos, and rejected a few beaches before settling on Parakeet Bay. It was gorgeous, with lovely dunes, luxurious white sand, and clear turquoise water. But I hadn't brought a swimsuit, so I just rolled up my trouser legs and waded in up to my knees. Wife and her sister did more of a swim, but I returned to my bike and backtracked a bit to the shore of a lake we had passed, where I'd seen some birds.

I had a good concentrated half hour or so of birdwatching and identified Australian shelducks, banded stilts, pied stilts, a red-capped plover, something I think was a buff-banded rail, great crested terns, and a few things I need to check the photos of to see if I can figure out what they are. Several of those birds are new to me!

Then I met up with Wife and her sister, who were done at the beach. While waiting for them, I spotted a snake near the road! We looked it up later and I believe it was a dugite, which is of course (since this is Australia) very venomous! We continued our bike ride, passing some salt lakes (including one that was pink), a colony of huge numbers of great crested terns, and a "train" (more like an old-fashioned tram) on tracks.

Back near the Settlement, we spent a little while admiring the quokkas foraging in the leaf litter next to a mini-golf course, and finally went for a late lunch and a drink before returning our bikes and getting on the 4pm ferry back to Fremantle. Again, I stood outside. It was more crowded than the morning ferry had been, but there were also more waves.

We got home and showered and were horrified to discover we had all gotten sunburned! I had failed to reapply sunscreen and had missed some spots, but luckily most of my body was clothed. Wife did pretty well but the backs of her hands were badly burned, despite her having used sunscreen. Wife's sister was splotchily sunburned in many places!

We walked a bit of a ways to a "fish pub" for dinner. The food was great, and we were seated on a patio adjacent to a playground and large grassy area with a few trees around the edges, in which I spotted several interesting birds: galahs, a red wattlebird, ravens, magpies, and I'm pretty sure a pair of rainbow lorikeets flew past.

We walked home. The little kitty from yesterday was out front and Wife petted it, but then it followed us to our door! shit! It has a collar and a bell, so I assume it has a home. I felt terrible closing the door to prevent it from coming in!

Hello! Your pic looks like a brown snake, maybe a dugite? Did you take it?

I love brown snakes :3

My pfp?? Its an eastern brown snake!! One of my favourite snakes also :D i didnt take it its from a snake catcher in my localish areas facebook page- the actual colour of the snake isnt edited at all i just shifted the colour of the fabric to match my blog theme!!

[skydarcyedwards]

Dugite, Pseudonaja affinis.

Dugite appears to be an anglicisation of the Noongar dukayj or dukitj, or referring to a slightly broader range of venomous snakes, dobitj.

I'm extremely pleased to have finally imaged one of these beautiful snakes in the wild. In Perth they are very common but very shy.

I was also a little nervous. Human fatalities from dugite bites are rare, thanks in part to mutual respect or fear preventing bites.
