7 Ways to Sway While Staying Home

Let’s address the big elephant in the room. Covid-19 has caused some major damage across the globe.

We’re affected, our clients are affected, and our Swayers are affected.

Many of us are urged to stay home and work from home, while some of us are considered as essential workers and must report to work, in one way or another, we all play a fundamental role in flattening the curve.

We want to send virtual high-fives and our deepest gratitude to everyone who keeps grinding and to the ones who are keeping their sanity while staying at home.

With our field of work, we have to be on high alert when posting on social medias during this difficult time as it could come off as being insensitive.

Don’t fret, we’ve come up with 7 ways you can continue to churn out (appropriate) content and continue to sway your Instagram community with light-hearted content during this crisis.

Let’s be honest, we need good content now more than ever.
