A Just Marketing® Guide to Emojis and Assistive Technology

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 2.2 billion people worldwide have some form of vision impairment. 

Another estimated 253 million people experience severe vision impairment or total blindness. 

That’s a huge portion of the world population that may need to use inclusive technology like screen readers and/or text-to-speech programs to navigate the digital world. 

It’s a huge part of the population. Yet, it is something that able-bodied individuals who do not live with any form of vision impairment don’t think about as often as they should — particularly when marketing their business online. 

It comes down to something as simple as emojis. To many, it’s just a cute little smiley face being used in place of a bullet point. To someone who accesses your content with a screen reader, it’s a headache that limits their accessibility. 

Walking Our Talk

As Just Marketers, we are always learning. It’s the only way to truly embody Just Marketing® practices! Admitting where you may have gone wrong, learning from it, and doing things differently the next time around. 

So, let’s talk emojis — shall we? 

Excessive use of emojis makes it extremely challenging for the visually impaired, who use screen readers and/or text-to-speech programs to access information. 

This is not to say that you should stop using them entirely, but there are a few different ways that you can do so in a way that is far more accessible. 

Emojis Are Cool, But…

Emojis are always a great way to make your messaging more personal; I know I love them. However, to make your marketing more accessible, here are a few tips to keep in mind. 

Never Use Emojis to Replace Words

When you use emojis to replace words,  screen readers only read the alt-description of the emojis. It does not clearly translate what you mean to the visually impaired. You can totally use emojis to enhance the experience of your content, but words should still be used to clearly convey the full meaning of what you want to say.

Not Repeating Emojis

Repeating emojis or using too many emojis in a row can confuse screen readers. This, in turn, can lead to confusion in the message you are trying to convey with people using screen readers. Overall, it results in a poor user experience. On average, limit to three emojis per post or message when necessary. Anything more makes it time-consuming and annoying to have to listen to screen readers reading out a bunch of emojis.

Text Before Emoji

Like dinner before dessert, your emojis should always come after the text. Not before, not in the middle of words, AFTER. Using emojis in the middle of a sentence will confuse screen readers, which will read the alt-text as a part of the sentence. This translates into using emojis as bullet points as well (not recommended). 

Keeping it Simple

When it comes to how to use emojis to ensure you create accessible content, simplicity is key.

Avoid Ambiguous Emojis 

Some emojis can mean different things to different people in different contexts. Take this emoji, for example: 🙏 

This looks like someone praying and raising hands in worship. It also looks like two people high-fiving. If different people interpret the emoji differently, then they will not have an equitable experience consuming your content.

Emojis > Emoticons 

If you were born prior to 1990, you probably remember emoticons quite well! They are the ones that are created using semicolons, brackets and the like. So, for example, you would create an emoticon smiley face like this 🙂 

These are not ideal as they do not have alt-text accompanying them, whereas emojis do. The alt-text is what allows screen readers to interpret the emojis, so they are always the superior choice! 

Emoji Color Matters

Now, this one is a little bit nuanced. But you will see why it matters:

Consider Color Contrast

Light emojis on a white background are hard to see/identify. The same is true for dark emojis on a black background. Because some users prefer dark mode, it’s important to ensure we choose emojis that will be visible on both light and dark backgrounds —which is why yellow emojis are often the best option over skin-tone emojis.

Customizable Emojis

It can be tempting to change the color of customizable emojis. Don’t. Why? Every unique icon gets descriptor information. The longer the description, the longer anyone using a screen reader has to listen before they get back to the content they came for. 

For example, a standard, yellow thumbs-up emoji reads as :+1: but if you add a skin tone, it changes to :+1::skin-tone-5:, which will often just send folks searching for content that doesn’t have so many annoying emojis to deal with! 

Where Emojis Should Never Live 

When used sparingly and in the right location, emojis can definitely add a certain something to content. With that said, there are a few places you should avoid placing emojis altogether! 

Before Your Precious CTA

All important information in your content should go before emojis. If you want to use an emoji somewhere in your call to action, be sure to put it after the text. Sometimes folks will simply tune out when screen readers start to read out excessive emoji descriptions, so you want to make sure that you get the most pertinent information to them before that happens.  

In Your Twitter Name

Adding an emoji in your Twitter name will make it confusing for anyone who is visually impaired to actually capture the name when utilizing tools like screen readers. This is because a screen reader transcribing an emoji in your name will make it unnecessarily long. NOTE: (Your name is different from your @ handle)

If you’re ever confused about any of this, you can visit Emojipedia to see how screen readers will read specific emojis.

Conclusion

Use this as your checklist before posting your content. Make sure:

  • You used emojis in moderation (less than 3 per message/post)
  • You did not use emojis as bullet points
  • There are no emojis in the middle of a sentence in your content
  • You used default yellow emojis unless skin color is necessary for context
  • You double-checked emoji descriptions on emojipedia.org

Are you feeling stuck between marketing that feels Are you feeling stuck between marketing that feels good and marketing that actually works?

The old rules of social media reward whatever’s loudest and fastest. 

But if you’re here, you probably care about something deeper:
— Ethical content that respects your audience
— Inclusive messaging that makes everyone feel welcome
— Accessible design so no one’s left out

That’s why I lean on the Just Marketing® Strategy Foundations — because when your content aligns with your values, success becomes sustainable (and so much more fulfilling).

Here’s the quick overview of the framework I use:

Ethical Marketing
— Be transparent
— Avoid performative actions
— Amplify voices that need to be heard

Inclusive Marketing
— Use inclusive language
— Engage your community
— Audit your representation

Accessible Marketing
— Add alt text to images
— Caption your videos
— Make your designs easy to read and understand

REMEMBER: Start small and scale up. You don’t have to overhaul everything today to start showing up better tomorrow.

If you’re ready to rethink your approach and center ethics, inclusivity, and accessibility.. Diver deeper with me at:  MegBrunson.com/social-media-marketing-success 

Drop your fav gif if this is the kind of marketing you want more of in the world!

ID: Infographic titled ‘Just Marketing® Strategy Foundations’ with three pillars: 1) Ethical - Be transparent, avoid performative actions, amplify others; 2) Inclusive - Use inclusive language, engage your audience, audit representation; 3) Accessible - Use alt text for images, include captions on videos, choose easy-to-read text. ‘Remember: Start Small and Scale Up’ is noted at the bottom.

We’ve all been there: hustling for likes, chasin We’ve all been there: hustling for likes, chasing follower counts, and watching the numbers climb (or stall) on our dashboards.
 
It feels like progress… but is it really?

When "going viral" becomes the goal, we risk losing sight of what actually matters - creating content that reflects our values, fosters genuine connections, and makes space for everyone in our communities.

For mission-driven entrepreneurs (especially those of us navigating business while neurodiverse), social media shouldn’t feel like a popularity contest. It should feel like a conversation.

That’s why it’s time to shift the focus from vanity metrics to value alignment. When we do, we:

 — Prioritize people over numbers
 — Create accessible, inclusive content
 — Build authentic relationships rooted in trust

Viral posts come and go. But meaningful impact? That’s what lasts.

Curious how to start redefining your version of success on social? 

I break it all down - from why vanity metrics fall short to what you can track instead for ethical, inclusive growth - at MegBrunson.com/social-media-marketing-success 

How do you define success on social media right now?

There’s a lot of bad advice out there. Let’s clear the air…

Myth: "I need hours of uninterrupted focus to batch content."
Truth: Nope. You can batch in short, focused bursts and still make BIG progress.

Myth: "Batching is only for super-organized people."
Truth: Nope again. Creative minds + batching = magic (with the right approach and flexibility).

Myth: "I’ll lose spontaneity if I batch."
Truth: Batching creates a foundation → you can still pivot and be spontaneous anytime!

Batching isn’t about rigid rules.
Batching isn’t about turning you into someone you’re not.
Batching is about creating space for your genius, your flow, and your unique energy.

If batching content feels like climbing a mountain If batching content feels like climbing a mountain in flip-flops… save this post!

You don’t need superpowers, just a system that honors your brain + energy. Here’s your cheat sheet:

Step 1: Start with a plan
Know what you’re batching BEFORE you start. Less decision fatigue = more flow.

Step 2: Break it into bite-sized sessions
No marathons needed. Short bursts = sustainable progress.

Step 3: Leverage your energy peaks
Work with your natural rhythms, not against them. Morning person? Late-night thinker? Own it.

Step 4: Minimize distractions
Clear your space (digital + physical) to protect your precious focus.

Step 5: Use prompts + templates
No need to reinvent every time. Frameworks = brain savers.

Step 6: Batch similar tasks together
Writing, graphics, scheduling… do them in dedicated blocks to avoid context switching.

Step 7: Celebrate progress, not perfection
Done is better than stuck in draft. Give yourself credit + keep moving forward.

When your only commitment for the day cancels... s When your only commitment for the day cancels... so you pivot to world domination! 

Okay okay, maybe not actual world domination - but I am mapping out my summer content calendar like a neurodivergent strategist on a mission.

If you have a random free day (or hour) pop-up, here are a few ADHD-friendly content planning tips:

— Start with your offers: what are you promoting this summer?
— Brain-dump ideas, don’t self-edit -  messy is magic.
— Theme your weeks or months to make batching easier.
— Repurpose, always. One idea = blog, email, social posts, oh my!
— And most importantly: build in breaks. Rest is part of the strategy.

Now tell me: What’s one offer or topic you know you want to spotlight this summer?

Let’s get you unstuck.

PSA for entrepreneurs who feel "too scattered" to PSA for entrepreneurs who feel "too scattered" to batch content…
You do not need perfect focus to create content effectively.

(Read that again. And again if you need to. 😉)

Here’s what actually matters (and it’s probably not what you’ve been told):

1. Focus isn’t all or nothing.
You don’t need marathon concentration. Short, intentional bursts are more than enough.

2. Progress over perfection.
Done is better than perfect. (And imperfect content still connects and sells!)

3. Energy beats willpower.
Trying to "force" yourself to focus drains you. Instead, work with your natural energy peaks and let ease lead.

Imagine what batching could feel like if you stopped waiting for the “perfect time” and started creating during the “good enough for now” moments.

You’re allowed to do it differently.
You’re allowed to make it easier.
You’re allowed to let batching feel… kind.

Content batching doesn’t have to be all or nothi Content batching doesn’t have to be all or nothing - and it doesn’t have to collapse when things get hectic.

1. Have a Backup Plan
Create a stash of evergreen content you can post anytime. (Think quick tips, FAQs, or inspiring quotes that align with your brand.)

2. Build a Support System
You don’t have to do this solo. Lean on accountability buddies, hire support, or repurpose past content when needed.

3. Track Wins (Even Small Ones)
Did you post something once this week? That counts. Progress > Perfection. Always.

Your batching system should support your real life - not create guilt or shame when things go sideways.

The goal isn’t to do it all.
The goal is to stay visible in ways that work for you.

You’ve probably heard that batching is the key t You’ve probably heard that batching is the key to working smarter... but let’s break down why it actually helps - especially if you struggle with distractions, decision fatigue, or just staying consistent.

1. It Saves Time.
Jumping from one type of task to another? Exhausting and inefficient.
Batching keeps you in the zone longer so you can get more done in less time.

2. It Creates Consistency.
Ever find yourself scrambling last minute for something - anything - to post?
Batching helps you get ahead so you’re showing up regularly, without panic posting.

3. It Reduces Decision Fatigue.
“What should I post today?” → That daily question gets old fast. When you plan and batch, you make those decisions once and skip the mental overload later.

When done your way (think short bursts, ADHD-friendly tools, and honoring your energy), batching gives you breathing room to be creative and consistent.

Batching content sounds dreamy when you hear other Batching content sounds dreamy when you hear other entrepreneurs talk about it.

"I created a month’s worth of posts in one afternoon!"
"Batching changed my life!"

But when you sit down to do it?

You’re staring at a blinking cursor.
Your to-do list feels louder than your ideas.
Your brain? Scattered across 42 tabs (literally and mentally).

Batching content doesn’t require superhuman focus or magical uninterrupted hours. It simply requires a shift:

From chasing perfection, to celebrating progress
From forcing long sessions, to embracing short, energized bursts
From "I should be able to do this easily," to "I can make this work for me"

Batching isn’t about rigid systems or robotic routines. It’s about meeting yourself where you’re at, honoring your energy, and building flexible workflows that reduce overwhelm - not add to it.

I’m breaking down how to batch content in ways that actually work for neurodiverse entrepreneurs, creative thinkers, and anyone who’s ever found traditional methods frustrating.

If focus feels fleeting, but consistency still matters to you - this one’s for you: MegBrunson.com/batch-content

Your brain deserves a refresh so focus can return… try movement, micro-breaks, and mindfulness.

2. Seek an Outside Perspective

3. Realign Tasks with Goals
Audit everything. If it’s not tied to a key goal? It’s gotta go.

4. Ruthlessly Prioritize + Say No
Protect your time like it’s your superpower. Because it IS.

5. Track Patterns Over Time
Notice what drains vs. what drives results. Repeat the good stuff.

This isn’t about being perfect.

Busy ≠ Productive (Yeah, I said it.) Let’s br Busy ≠ Productive
(Yeah, I said it.)

Let’s break this down:
— Posting daily just to post = Busy
— Perfecting every graphic pixel = Busy
— Checking notifications every 5 minutes = Busy

But…
— Building relationships with your audience = Productive
— Publishing strategic, goal-driven content = Productive
— Focusing on offers that drive revenue = Productive

See the difference?

The thing is, busy work masquerades as productivity.
 It keeps you moving... but rarely moving forward.

Especially for entrepreneurs (and double especially for those of us with ADHD brains), it’s easy to get stuck in the loop. 

Checking boxes feels satisfying in the moment, but if those tasks don’t ladder up to your bigger goals? It’s just noise.

You don’t have unlimited energy to spend on busy work.
And you shouldn’t have to.

Your time and energy deserve to be invested in tasks that actually move your business forward - and guess what? That version of marketing feels so much better.
