I don't know about you, but there's nothing I love more than when random people pop up in my DM's to share with me all these social media “hacks” that are guaranteed to bring you so many followers, traffic, and how to keep the algorithm happy.
Y'all, I don't care about social media algorithms, and you shouldn't either. I feel like all of this hyper-focused energy on trying to keep the algorithm happy has made us lose our joy for why we joined Instagram or any other social media platform in the first place.
On your gravestone, it is not going to read, “ Here lies XX, they had 100K followers and a viral Reel in 2022.”
The only “hack” that I have found that brings in more leads and has the potential to triple sales is
C O N S I S T E N C Y.
I believe that whoever is meant to find your business will find your business. Trying to fight artificial intelligence is a losing battle. It seems like, as a collective, we've lost sight of why we're on social media because hardly anyone is being social.
When you implement consistency, consistency builds trust. Trust builds a relationship. Relationships create money transactions.
Consistently posting, Consistently engaging with comments, Consistently finding and engaging with new people, and building a connection is the basis of all business.
Legitimate connection is at the heart of all of this. Let's bring fun back to Instagram, create content that excites you, not something that some guru with a team tells you works for them.
What works for one account probably won't work for another.
A little progress each day adds up to big results.
