The feed trains you to throw good work away. Post it. Watch the first-hour graph. If it doesn’t spike, bury the shame and invent something new before lunch. That pace doesn’t make you prolific. It makes every idea disposable, even the ones your people already asked you to explain again. You don’t always need a new idea. You need evergreen content habits: one strong promise, … Continue reading The Second Life of a Good Post
You post something solid. It lands soft. You post something thinner. It travels farther than it deserves. You open the analytics tab like it’s a crime scene and whisper the usual line: the social media algorithm hates me. Maybe.
