00:00:00.070 --> 00:00:01.550
>> My name is Brianna Smyk.

00:00:01.550 --> 00:00:06.460
I am a blog writer and social media
manager for a company called Inside Seen.

00:00:06.460 --> 00:00:07.960
It is a startup company.

00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:12.970
There's a few different wings of it,
home decor and fabrics, designer fabrics.

00:00:12.970 --> 00:00:15.550
And I publish the blog twice weekly.

00:00:15.550 --> 00:00:16.470
I do it all by myself.

00:00:16.470 --> 00:00:21.690
And then use that content to push out to
all of our different social media platforms.

00:00:21.690 --> 00:00:27.410
Since we are a startup, when I have time, I
also do PR, so reaching out to the bloggers

00:00:27.410 --> 00:00:32.460
and people within the design community to spread
our message and just try and promote what we do.

00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:36.840
The blog is published twice a week so it's
basically, I mean, I can do it as far ahead

00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:40.860
as I want, depending on how busy I
am with the other things in my life.

00:00:40.860 --> 00:00:44.230
Sometimes I'll, you know,
do a bulk blogs at one time.

00:00:44.230 --> 00:00:47.680
And sometimes, I'll do them, you
know, sort of, the day or week before.

00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:51.010
But it's those set times that they're
always published Mondays and Thursdays,

00:00:51.010 --> 00:00:53.240
so that I know that I always
have those deadlines.

00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:57.310
And then the social media, as you
can imagine, is pretty constant.

00:00:57.310 --> 00:01:03.270
So we have a few, you know, Hootsuite and
online platforms that we use to try and make it

00:01:03.270 --> 00:01:05.910
so that we don't have to be
by our computers all the time.

00:01:05.910 --> 00:01:09.430
But I feel like it just works a little
better if you do it by yourself.

00:01:09.430 --> 00:01:14.140
So I'm trying to be by my computer most
hours to be able to do that, sort of,

00:01:14.140 --> 00:01:16.050
schedule intervals throughout the day.

00:01:16.050 --> 00:01:19.730
And just really make sure the content is there,
and if there some trend that I can pick on

00:01:19.730 --> 00:01:24.300
and to, sort of, weave into that, as you know,
stay up to the minute as much as possible.

00:01:24.300 --> 00:01:27.240
But the schedule is, I mean, I
work from home so it's on my own,

00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:29.370
which is one of the things
I really love about the job.

00:01:29.370 --> 00:01:33.130
I sort of make my own hours and get
done what I need to get done in,

00:01:33.130 --> 00:01:35.530
sort of, whatever hours I need to do so.
