social media managers 🤝 constantly worrying if they've posted on the right account

social media managers telling themselves they’ll plan content a month in advance

just seen a tiktok where they claim to be able to make you a content strategy for the ENTIRETY of 2024 in TEN minutes that’ll “blow your competitors out of the water” … and this is why some people don’t take the industry seriously.

so much content is being posted on social media on a daily basis. you do NOT need to post content for the sake of it. you can cut through the noise by making content intentionally and purposefully.

if you're a brand or creator on TikTok and you want more visibility, do NOT underestimate the power of commenting on other TikTok videos. you have a *huge* chance of gaining visibility then - hopefully - converting them into followers if your content is good.
