Welcome to episode 352 of Hit the Mic with the Stacey Harris. Hello, hello. Let's talk ... New month, new three things you need to know. Today we're going to talk about the things I want you to be paying attention to in June. The things I want you to have on your radar and the things I want you to be - are you ready for this - taking action on. Yes, I said it, taking action on. Every month, every single first Tuesday of each and every month, we do an episode like this where we talk about the three things you need to know right now.
Up until now, it's been pretty social media focused. I think we're going to widen it a little bit. Just the three things you need to know right now and the reason you need to know these things is not necessarily because it's brand new information, some of it is, but some of it is just the things I want you to be paying attention to right now.
For example, today we have one thing where there's an update and we have two things I want you to be taking action on, I want you to be doing. Set aside some time to take action on what we're doing today. If you're listening to this in the car or while you're exercising, make a mental note. Better yet, make a note in your phone if you're like me. I do a lot of voice memos while driving and listening to podcasts or while running listening to a podcast. It's only awkward at the gym when people are like, "Who's that crazy girl talking to?" Myself. But I want you to pay attention to the action part of this. I want you to pay attention to the implementing part of this, because that's where the money is. That's where the movement is. That's where the progress is. Don't skip that step.
Let's talk about the three things I want you to know in June 2017. Kind of just take a minute to say what you're all thinking, "How the hell is it June? When did that happen?" The kid is going to be out of school in like a week, two weeks? Maybe a week. No, it's next week. He gets out next week. I can't even remember. The kids getting out of school, summer vacations are starting here in the northern part of the world, but it's June. It's the halfway mark. It's six out of 12. Crazy. All right. We're changing.
First up, update. Social media update. Snapchat and Instagram have both made updates, so pay attention to those. Instagram is what I want to talk about, because way more viewers are using Instagram than Snapchat. If you want to know about all social media network changes when they happen, make sure you're a member of backstage, because that's where I post all of this stuff as soon as it's happening. We have a whole section in our private forum called Network News and every single time there's an update, that's relevant, I share it there, so check that out. Hitthemicbackstage.com if you have been living under a rock and don't know what I'm talking about.
Instagram updates. Instagram is adding some very cool new features to stories that are going to allow you to really look at other stories and connect with stories in your relevant space. You'll be able to actually pay attention and see other stories based on location. This is going to be really killer for people who are doing events or people with brick and mortar businesses, maybe a restaurant or a salon or a practice or a physical store, whatever it is, people will actually be able to share stories, tag your location in the story a
