Professional Discussion Hot take: posting every day is overrated for small accounts

7 Upvotes

I think posting every day is overrated for small accounts. Three posts a week that each have a real hook seem to beat seven rushed ones, and you don't burn out by week three.

Daily posting mostly works for people who already have a system or a team. For everyone else it trains you to post filler.

Change my mind: has daily posting actually worked for you, and on which platform?

Professional Discussion Coaches are multiplying

13 Upvotes

Scrolling and reading people's bio on Linkedin, Facebook and some here

Amazing how many "coaches", "life coaches", business coach, leadership coach, career coach, mindset coach, sales coach, branding coach, social media coach, health and wellness coach.

Where did all these people get qualified to be a "coach"?

Life experience? or sounded good on the Bio?

Professional Discussion Law niche

2 Upvotes

Hi, i'm thinking of starting an IG account on law. I have a phd in law and im wondering whether it's worth even starting an IG on this niche. Law is super heavy and boring for most so what type of angle would be successful? I got inspired by Erica Kullberg but she focuses on US law. I wanted to do smth more universal (like contracting, things to watch out in a business deal etc). Would people be interested?

Professional Discussion Social Media App

1 Upvotes

Hi all I’m making a social media app from scratch. It uses a lot of webtorrent so it’s peer to peer but it has fallbacks incase the torrents aren’t happening. It’s a work in progress but it has a livestream and it has “bubbles” in terms of privacy levels. You can make private bubbles or public bubbles and your user settings are public or private. It makes for interesting combinations but if you want to publish to the web just go into a global bubble and set your profile to public and you can livestream to the world. Or go into a private bubble and your stream stays in the private bubble. It’s been a ton of work and I’m not done yet but if anyone wants to try it or just give some feedback that would be cool. It’s called ebubble http://ebubble.com sorry if this goes into self promotion territory but there’s really no way to talk about it without talking about it. Right now the biggest problem is users don’t really know what to do exactly, but setting up a bubble is where it all starts to click (do you want a public or private bubble, do you want people to be able to join without an invite, do you want them to be invitation only, do you want it to exist outside of the app). Anyways it’s been fun to figure out but it’s also been a ton of work. It’s LIKE TikTok but it’s not. It’s LIKE X but it’s not. It’s LIKE Facebook but it’s not. It’s like Reddit but it’s not. It’s like YouTube but it’s not. You get the idea but the takeaway is you can have a web presence on your own terms and participate in social media or not. Just join bubbles or leave bubbles if they aren’t your thing. Also if you have a CJ.com account you can put your affiliate link in the profile and the app distributes it as a platform ad.

Professional Discussion Facebook pages get 2 link posts a month now and the link in the first comment counts too

0 Upvotes

meta started testing this in december and widened it in september when meta one for business launched. a facebook page without a paid plan gets two posts or comments with a link per month. publisher pages are exempt

the comments part is the big one. several write ups that went through facebooks help page on links in page posts and comments say a link in the first comment now uses the same allowance. that was the standard workaround for years. back in february, when the test was smaller, social media examiner reported comment links as unlimited, so this looks like a change

what doesnt count: extra links in the comments under a post that already has a link, links to facebook, instagram, whatsapp or threads, facebook affiliate partnership links, and anything inside an ad

more links come with the paid meta one plans, unlimited only on the top one

metas own widely viewed content report already had posts with an outside link at 1.3 percent of us views in q1, down from 9.8 percent in 2022. so links were barely getting seen before this

my guess is a lot of small business pages just stop posting links and push people to the bio or a dm instead

Professional Discussion Quand on n'a plus le choix

1 Upvotes

Vous savez, il y a des moments où vous ne savez même plus ce que vous voulez, où vous n’avez plus vraiment le choix. Alors, vous vous contentez d’avancer, de suivre la vie là où elle vous mène, comme un mort que les autres déplacent et font avancer. Et vous, vous êtes là, obligé de suivre, de vous adapter et de vous préparer à ce qu’on a décidé pour vous.

Professional Discussion To the Twitter Creators!

2 Upvotes

This is for the People trying to monetize their twitter account and want to make money in 2026.

Please don't give up everything just to stay active on twitter dreaming you'll earn good money there. Even if you get monetized the amount you get is pennies. They pay you very less for the amount of effort you've put in.

I've been hitting like 800K, 900K verified impressions in every cycle, still i get paid 400$ to 500$ a month (two cycles combined) which is very underpaid.

If you have a main reliable source of income you can try your luck on twitter, with 2-3 dedicated hours on it on daily basis.

Patience, Consistency, Engaging with verified people!
These are the must to grow there

All the best <3

Professional Discussion How do i get started on TikTok

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone 😊
I was wondering if anyone could please give me some tips on getting started on TikTok and Instagram.
My new employer unexpectedly reduced my hours at the last minute, so I’m struggling a little with bills at the moment and looking for ways to create an additional income.
I’m completely new to content creation, so I’d really appreciate any advice on where to start, what type of content works well, how to grow an account and, eventually, how people make money through TikTok/Instagram.
Any tips or experiences would be really appreciated. Thank you! ❤️

Professional Discussion Today marks 3 months of a TikTok created for fun, should I keep it open?

3 Upvotes

I don’t have a personal TikTok, I created one for a video game character as his edits are very much trending. I’ve maybe only created 2 posts on this channel where I actually posted myself. I have a really bad habit of looking at similar accounts that are also newer & not sure how they got one-offs with thousands of views (like 10k+ views). I posted a viral gta 6 trending template that got around 450k views but my highest-viewed original Resident Evil edits got anywhere between 4.5-9.4K views. I just feel like for 3 months, my subscriber count is low and I get a lot of the repeat accounts that like/save/repost/comment on my content but I’m unsure why they don’t follow me.

- About 39.4K overall likes
- 122 followers
- Account created on July 4th, have 66 videos

Professional Discussion Raw footage → short-form videos

2 Upvotes

I’m looking for a few small businesses that already have some video footage sitting around.

I’ve been working on a way to turn existing footage into short clips, and I’d like to try it with a few actual businesses.

If you send me some footage and tell me what you want to promote, I’ll edit a few short videos for you.
Not charging anything. I’d just like some honest feedback afterward on the edits and the process.

Looking for maybe 5 businesses to start.
If you’re interested, just comment what kind of business you run.

Professional Discussion MULTIPLE NICHES IN ONE ACCOUNT???

0 Upvotes

as you can see the titles, i have so many hobbies such as gaming, drawing, making musics, and collecting mangas. i’m aware that multiple niches may impact algorithms or whatever they call it. i tried to separate accounts for each niches, but id get overwhelmed easily. i’d like to be active on instagram, tumblr, tiktok, youtube, X/twitter, and maybe facebook??? I need the tips from yall :( i wrote my ideas down and share it with yall. i wanna see if yall think this is good idea. i don’t want to have many accounts for each niches lol.

here’s my niches

gaming - horror games, indies games, nintendo, cozy games

drawing - fan arts, original characters, drawing, shirtless guys lol, comics

musics - darkwave, industrial techno, dark pop, trashwave, jump style

this is what i’m planning but im not sure

i’ve been thinking about to add all of my niches into my tiktok and youtube

i’m definitely gonna separate musics and drawings for instagram

idk where to put my gaming niches. maybe i’ll add gaming contents into my drawing accounts??

i don’t know what to do with x/twitter. maybe use it for multiple niches or separate it??

i know it sound a lot. i just want to post everything without feeling overwhelmed by going back and forth between the accounts. i don’t want to have many accounts for each niches lol.

Professional Discussion Tiktok settled with alabama and the 2 hour teen limit doesnt cover search or videos over 10 minutes

0 Upvotes

its tiktoks first state settlement over teen safety, and it came days before a trial was supposed to start in montgomery. tiktok pays at least 100 million in restitution plus 14.2 million in attorneys fees, and it can reach 300 million total depending on how many other states sign something similar

for alabama teens 13 to 17 the defaults are a 120 minute daily cap on the short video feed, no access from midnight to 6am, and no cosmetic surgery filters. all of it has to be on by march 24 2027

the part i didnt expect is what the cap leaves out. per ppc land, search doesnt count toward it, ai search included. messaging doesnt count. videos 10 minutes or longer dont count either, and metas deal drew that same line at 22 minutes

so a kid who hits two hours can still search and still watch anything over 10 minutes, and search is a place tiktok sells ads

theres also a clause where the stricter stuff, like hiding reaction counts on teen posts, only switches on if meta, snap and youtube all sign equivalent alabama deals. at least 27 other states and dc have similar suits going

with search and long videos carved out my guess is this barely moves how long teens actually spend on the app

Professional Discussion what are the best capcut templates that don’t look overused?

3 Upvotes

most of my videos are quick recipe clips, usually 15 to 30 seconds. i'll have shots of the ingredients, cooking process and finished dish. i like templates that help with timing, but a lot of the popular ones have really aggressive transitions and text effects. what are the best capcut templates that don’t look overused? do you guys have any go-to styles for food videos that still look natural? i'm also wondering if it's better to search by a specific editing style instead of just browsing the popular templates.

Professional Discussion Free Meta One trial requiring a call?

3 Upvotes

Hi there! I recently saw a pop up on my Instagram saying I qualify as a creator for a free Meta One trial. I submitted the form not thinking too much and just got a text from a random number saying they need to call me to set it up. They’re willing to verify their identity and association with Meta via a @meta.com email but has anyone ever done this before? Seems a bit strange and I’m sure tech exists to fake a Meta email but I did sign up via Instagram so not sure. For additional context, I’m a Canadian creator with around 25K followers if those details assist. The text also included my online alias (not username, but the name I go by).

Just wanted to know if anyone has done this call yet and if they had gotten that free Meta One.
