#facebookhateshashtags

Had a great day attending a marketing seminar organised by Tourism Council Western Australia, at Caves House Hotel in Yallingup.

Marketing Consultant Meg Coffey from Perth agency Coffey and Tea REALLY knew her stuff. She talked about Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, hashtags and lots, lots more.

Just one of the little pearls of wisdom I came away with was that Facebook, as a platform, hates hashtags and does not respond favourably to posts that include them (even your sarcastic jokes), and your posts probably won’t get much traction #mysteriousFBalgorithms

It’s hard to resist Easter

Best wishes to you all for a very happy and relaxing Easter break. I hope you get the chance to spend precious time with your friends and loved ones.

May your only stressful moment be deciding when enough is enough. When to have just one more choccy? Will it be the little egg wrapped in blue or that big, brown hollow one in the shape of a bunny? Or a selfish last hoorah with a Bahen & Co chocolate bar: the Brazil 70% cacao variety?

Free stock photos

Looking for a quality photo to kick off your next social media post? Need an eye-catching image for a special promotion or to update your website? Although there are plenty of sites where you can pay a pretty penny for the perfect photo (including high resolution versions), perhaps consider a free one first.

There are many reputable websites offering stock photos for commercial use, free from fees and royalties or the need for attributions (a photo credit). Simply look for the Creative Commons Zero licence status (CC0) that means the photographer has donated the work to the public domain with no limitations on its use at all.
This image of a woman holding a phone was downloaded from Startup Stock Photos.

Other great sites include Flickr and Pixabay, with Negative Space quite handy for finding images where sections of the photo are left uncluttered to overlay text onto. Unsplash has a great selection of animal and nature photos, in high resolution too.

Happy flicking!
