Helping you simplify your socials
✉️ Welcome to the Rockin Social Media Newsletter
Hey there,
As we head into the final stretch of 2025, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Whether you’ve been tuning into the radio show, following along on social media, or working with us at Rockin Social Media, your support means everything.
This year has been incredible, we started it in Bali where Karen and I lived and worked for 3 months trying out the Digital Nomad lifestyle. It was incredible but the time difference does make things complicated when booking in client calls at midnight and having to set your alarm for 3am to watch Liverpool play lol. But an amazing experience that will never be forgotten. In January we had to Dubai for a week to attend the 1Billion summit which is the biggest social media summit in the world where I will learn a ton of useful bits to help transform your socials even more next year. I’m grateful to be working with some incredible clients, whether you’re behind the decks or we are building your business online, here's to an even more successful 2026 for us all. Paul 🎧 Rockin Social Media
WEEKLY SOCIAL MEDIA TIP
Before you switch off for the festivities, here’s something that can set you up for a strong start in January: Audit your top 9 posts from 2025.
Look at your Instagram grid right now. Those top 9 posts are the first thing promoters, clients, and potential followers see. Ask yourself: Do they clearly show what you do? Are they high quality? Do they reflect where you want to be in 2026?
If not, archive the weak ones and replace them with your best content. It takes 5 minutes and can be the difference between someone hitting “follow” or scrolling past.
Plus a little extra tip for you, if you click on "edit profile" you will now see the option to REORDER GRID, this means you can move things around to make sure your top 9 images are the best of the best.

For the first time ever, your ideal audience can explicitly request "Music & Audio" content, and Instagram will show them more DJ...
✉️ Welcome to the BPM Newsletter - Business, Performance, Marketing insights for DJs and creative entrepreneurs Why your Instagram bio is costing you bookings I've been reviewing Instagram profiles this week as part of The SET Formula launch, and there's a pattern I keep seeing: talented DJs with solid content, good mixes, professional photos... and bios that say absolutely nothing. "DJ • Music Lover • Ibiza 🎧" "House Music DJ | Bookings: email below" "Living life through music 🎶" These bios...
