RE: Earn Your Damn Audience First Before You Start Complaining about Engagement

in Rant, Complain, Talk3 years ago

Everyone’s likes and dislikes are different. I try to keep my stuff at a certain length. The only persons posts I would read word for word every time they came out was @perceptualflaws. Those were a wild ride!

Engagement is good but you have to have give and take. If you don’t engage with users in their posts don’t expect any engagement on your posts is how I’ve lived my mantra.

Sums up the post without the flare. Most just don't get this simple fact. Any user that gets this can thrive on any social platform. That's just how real life works and it's also dumbfounding at times to see some don't get the give and take part.

Yeah I know lol. It’s not a new thing but people expect to post and get instant people all over their stuff. I’ve seen some promising new users that have awesome content but they don’t engage with people and their first post was well received but the ones after that wane and they get nothing if they don’t engage. Seen it happen several times myself, and you’ve probably seen it as well.

My wife runs a successful small business out of our house and she spends the bulk of her time engaging with people on one of the other major social media platforms instead of selling and that’s what’s gotten her a dedicated group of people who buy stuff from her. Bottom line is engagement is key!

They buy the personality but the content rationalizes the spending habits. Attention is a social currency we got and not the digits that goes with the likes/dislikes this platform has.

Seen it happen several times myself, and you’ve probably seen it as well.

I'd say always if I count what I see cross platforms.

Thanks for stopping by :>
