How to Keep Your Periscope Broadcasts Free of the Yuck

Have you recently checked your Periscope follower list?

If not, you may want to do this ASAP and be sure you don't have anyone looking to show you their "b-double o-bs". Every so often {at least once a week if you're growing your following fairly quickly} you will want to go into your Periscope follower list and block the spammy accounts.

How to Keep Your Periscope Broadcasts Free of the Yuck

Why Should You Block The Spammy Accounts?

Because, if you have any of these yucky accounts following you and you invite people to someone's broadcast, you are also inviting those spammers that are following you. And, you know what? The spammers will then usually invite their followers who are spammers too. Double Yuck! So, go block them now and you will keep their unwelcome comments out of your scopes and the scopes you are watching.

PS: So thankful to Danielle of The Merriweather Council for alerting me {and others} to this great Periscope tip.

To make posting easy and engaging on Instagram - you can simply write your post in text edit or even an email with a break between your caption and hashtags. Then email it to yourself with the photo to save to your camera roll {if you want to add emojis, simply paste it into the notes app on your phone}. When your ready to post at your optimal time, you will . . .

1. copy and paste the caption and hashtags
2. go to Instagram
3. upload the image - edit if needed
4. paste in the caption and hashtags
5. select just the hashtags and cut them out {moving up the cursor to the end of the caption}
6. post and then immediately paste in the hashtags in first comment and send
7. now you can sit back and wait for the engagement to happen

With this method you don't need scheduling apps and you don't need to go out of Instagram to go back into notes to grab your hashtags. This wastes precious time when your hashtags could already be working to get you into the Top Posts spot {for a bit}. And, by having your caption and hastags in email or notes - you have a back-up copy {just in case}.

Now, Don't Forget . . .
