Not a thorough post… more like sticky notes…
- Growing from 0 to 100 feels like a slog
- Growing from 100 to 150 still feels like a slog
- When you’re near 200, going beyond feels really fast
- Growing to 350 feels like a lot of work
- Growing 50-100 users per week is doable provided you post regularly
- At 150 followers, you’ll start getting bombarded with tons of spam messages
- Growing at a good clip means 10-15 posts a day
- Posting fewer than 10 posts will lead to a net negative
- Posting more than 20-30 posts a day will yield a net positive
- Using the right hashtags will far beat out any posts with few and/or unpopular hashtags
- Definitely use more than 10 hashtags per post … 20-30 is ideal
- Posting original content at 20-30 posts/day if it’s not a full-time commitment will deplete you
- If you can’t post 20-30 original posts/day, #repost
- If you edit too many posts within a short time frame on the same day, expect captions to be disabled on your account the next day
- Most followers will thank you for a repost
- Some followers will promote you for a repost
- Posting in the mornings will yield more likes
- Getting into a posting rhythm is fun … if you can commit to the timesuck
- Posting on a large variety of topics will make a very time-consuming and arduous growth in followers
- Using the right niche hashtags makes all the difference
- Finding niche tags means following the hashtags rabbit hole
- After posting hundreds of pictures, you’ll notice the fragile and vapid existence of social media
- Everybody is doing the same thing, hence, all the spam
- #moodygrams are awesome
