6 Insights for Creators from SXSW London

1 week ago | buffer.com | Tamilore Oladipo

I recently hopped a six-hour flight from Lagos to attend my very first international conference: SXSW London. Full disclosure — I had no idea what I was walking into. You might know South by Southwest from its annual Austin takeover: wall-to-wall tech demos, indie film premieres, breakout music acts, and enough brand activations to fill a small city. Since launching in 1987, it’s become synonymous with creative experimentation and culture-shaping ideas.
The Best Social Media Scheduling Tools in 2025

3 weeks ago | buffer.com | Tamilore Oladipo

When your to-do list is already longer than a TikTok scroll, hopping between apps to schedule social media posts is the fastest way to lose focus. That’s why the smartest creators and marketers rely on social media scheduling tools to batch content, stay visible, and actually log off. I used to publish on the fly too, but I’ve been converted to content batching. And after testing a dozen schedulers, I found what really matters — and what doesn’t.

Having thousands of followers is great. But sometimes, the real value of social media comes from smaller, more meaningful interactions. That’s where Instagram Close Friends can be a game changer. This Instagram feature, first introduced in 2018, lets you handpick a close friends list — a private group who can view exclusive content through your Instagram Stories.
How To Turn Community Conversations Into Content Ideas

1 month ago | buffer.com | Tamilore Oladipo

I have a tendency to treat coming up with content ideas as a solo sport. I’m used to sitting with my thoughts, combined with a post format I saw that I loved and want to recreate. And when I’m stuck, I scroll through my bookmarks with hundreds of post ideas for something to remix. I’ve been fortunate that that system works time and time again for me — but it’s not the only way to create.

How I Prepared for a Month of Social Media Content in One Day

2 months ago | buffer.com | Tamilore Oladipo

Let’s start with the facts: I don’t usually create content this way. Most weeks, I post 3–5 times across LinkedIn, Threads, and TikTok — usually planned a few days in advance, sometimes the same day. I like having the flexibility to post when I’m inspired, not just when something’s scheduled. But ahead of a month-long trip — part retreat, part travel — I knew I couldn’t rely on my usual workflow. I would be adjusting to new environments, exploring new cities and attending full-day team sessions.

Think you know which social platform has the most engagement? The data might surprise you. Social media trends are always evolving, but lately, engagement has been shifting in unexpected ways. LinkedIn is seeing record-high interactions, Pinterest is quietly on the rise, and Threads — once a breakout success — is settling into more stable patterns. Meanwhile, Instagram’s engagement is lower than ever, but that doesn’t mean it’s losing relevance.

TikTok stepped onto the social scene in 2016 and completely reshaped the way we create and consume content, but nearly a decade later, with over 1 billion monthly active users uploading millions of videos daily, standing out can feel impossible. How do you capture attention and keep viewers hooked? It comes down to more than creative ideas — you need to grow skills that transform good concepts into great content: especially editing.
Lessons From Posting to LinkedIn Consistently for 30 Days

Mar 26, 2025 | buffer.com | Tamilore Oladipo

In January 2025, we held our fourth (!) edition of Creator Camp — a free 30-day challenge to help participants build consistent social media habits. I led and participated, sharing resources and prompts. Each participant selected a platform, format, and posting cadence. Me? I went for videos on LinkedIn five to seven days per week. By the time the Camp was over, I had published 25 posts in 31 days. This wasn't my first Creator Camp rodeo.
