Hello Reader,

​

​

Lo and behold, y'all...There's a new sheriff in town! The Lemon8 app is the newest thing smokin' online, brought to you by TikTok's parent company and just in time (or rather, just in case) TikTok does, in fact, get banned.

Here's Some T.I.N.A. :

... The Lemon8 App 🍋 ⬇️

​

​

• Familiar formatting, with a (lemony) twist: It's digging back into the grid formatted, aesthetically-pleasing content that drew most of us to Instagram back in the day. It feels like a "back-to-basics" approach to social; deprioritizing video content and boosting static posts and carousels. They're also pulling from other platforms with features such as the 'Following' and 'For You' tabs, to keep it user-friendly, customizable, and familiar to what we've become accustomed to.

​

​

• The category is....: The content you experience is based on categories of interest your are prompted to choose from when you create your profile. The categories, to me, feel limited. For example, there isn't a category for music, art, or other forms of entertainment; yet plenty of creators use social media as either a promotional tool or creative outlet for those very things. That isn't to say you can't create and post any kind of content you want; but it does make other types of specific content harder to find on the platform. The specificity of the categories makes me wonder if it will become Instagram 2.0 in the near future...A marketplace for brands, using the aesthetics and creation tools to really spotlight influencer marketing particularly in the fashion, food, beauty, and wellness spaces. 🤔

​

​

​

• Creators, UNITE! 🎨 📱 : Pre-made templates, fonts and-the-like RULE this app. If you're familiar with CapCut and InShot, the editing capabilities on Lemon 8 are giving very much that... Which is fun!

​

​

​

The Bottom Line:

The platform is still SO fresh. I can't wait to see how it grows, and how folks start to use it in the near future. I think it's still too new to be used for business and needs time to flesh itself out unless you're using it as a sort of digital portfolio to catch brands' attention as a potential ambassador, affiliate or UGC creator. But, if you're just looking to be creative, have fun, and give your hottest takes on products, places, etc. and to share your life and personality in a less congested space, give it a whirl!

I Have a Confession to Make.....

I am beyond obsessed with coaching entrepreneurs, artists and creatives on their businesses, social media marketing and content creation, creative direction and marketing. Being visibile online is HARD, and running a business and/or making an impact with ones art, products and so on is no easy feat. It's even harder if you attempt to do it all yourself.

My recommendation?
