random question, anyone using capcut for ads or brand content?

i always see capcut mentioned for reels, tiktoks, and personal creator content, but i don`t hear much about it on the brand side. i`ve been noticing more ads lately that feel a lot closer to regular social content than the polished stuff brands used to put out. because of that, i'm wondering if people are actually editing paid content in capcut now or if most teams still stick with premiere, davinci, or something similar and aren`t talking about big campaign shoots. more the day to day social posts, product clips, ugc style ads, and content that gets resized for a bunch of different platforms.

i was looking through a few job listings earlier and almost all of them mentioned premiere. that`s what got me wondering about it.

I am editing on capcut for my client's meta ads, It's much more faster to edit there and my client wouldn't care less of the software I use and is okay and happier with capcut

Most of the job listings are written by who never edited and they don't usually know what should an editor use for their videos. I would apply anyway on those job listings

It's fine for social-first content, TikTok, Reels, shorts especially. The templates are fast and the color grading is decent enough that you don't look like an amateur. Just don't expect broadcast-quality output. If you're doing anything that needs to hold up on a bigger screen or needs precision color matching across a campaign, you'll notice the limits pretty quick. For brand consistency work, most people end up in Adobe or DaVinci anyway. But for quick, native stuff? It does the job.

The Dark Side of Social Media: The Manosphere

I've just watched this docu 'Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere' on Netflix that dived into a truly dark corner of the internet a.k.a *the manosphere.* It is honestly shocking to see how social media has let men with deeply misogynistic, oppressive views build such massive platforms. Plus, a lot of these creators have audiences made up of minors. Do we need stricter age restrictions on social media to protect younger users? This is genuinely corruption. How might this affect the next generation of men? And more importantly, how do we push back against it?

How I "growth hacked" Instagram (UPDATE)

For years I tried being original, filming quality content, building an audience the right way, doing everything the big creator coaches were telling me. You know what that got me? Like $8 after months of effort. I also wasted way more than that trying to buy engagement. Don't do it. Complete waste. Here's what I did instead. I stopped trying to be unique and started actually studying what was already working. Not in a vague way. I mean I spent real time tracking what was getting pushed in my niche, what formats were showing up over and over, what kinds of videos the algorithm was clearly rewarding right now. Then I made my version of that. Use SocialHunt for a lot of this now because manually scrolling for hours trying to spot patterns is a full time job on its own. Also use vidIQ for the YouTube side of things. There's a smaller tool called Tikmatics that catches TikTok format and audio trends really early before they hit everywhere, barely anyone uses it. I also figured out that a ton of the reels blowing up were using comment triggers. Saying "comment this word and I'll send you something" in the caption or on screen. Since everyone doing well was doing this, competing without it was fighting with one hand tied behind your back. Started doing it on every post. Views started coming in. Some reels crossing 20K, a few hitting 50K to 500K. Eventually got a DM from a brand outreach coordinator. They paid me to mention a product in a video. Hit $5K in a single month from brand deals. Problem was I was spending way too much time going back and forth on emails just to get paid. Lots of scammers too. Always ask for 50% upfront. Never trust otherwise. Couldn't break past $5K for a while. Then I saw a similar account selling a digital guide on how to make videos like theirs. Thought it was stupid at first. Why would someone watching your content buy a guide from you? Felt backwards. But I stopped trying to reinvent things so I did it anyway. About 10 posts a month went to sponsors. The other 20 promoted my own guide. Mentioned it in descriptions, told people to comment for a free version, then upselled from there. Somehow it worked. When you're pulling millions of views a month even a tiny percentage buying a $20 guide adds up fast. Sold 300+ copies the first month. Also put affiliate links inside the guide for tools I actually use and started collecting commissions from that too. Monthly income from this Instagram hit $12K. Happy to answer questions if anyone has them. // UPDATE After the original post took off I got flooded with messages. Here's what happened since. A bunch of people suggested I upload the same reels directly to YouTube Shorts right after posting. They were right. Reach started slow but some videos are now crossing 100K views there. The best part is I can offer that reach to existing sponsors as bonus distribution without making a separate video. Easy upsell. I don't use post schedulers. My income depends on this now and I don't want to test anything that might break it. Last time I tried one my reach took a hit. For people asking to see examples without me exposing my niche, just search "would you rather" or "Reddit stories" or "texting stories" on Instagram or YouTube Shorts. That's the format. You'll see it everywhere. That covers most of what people were asking. Drop anything I missed below.

Any tips for growing a healthcare related social media page?

I’m trying to improve the reach & engagement, overall performance on social media page for healthcare, I am trying a mixture of static posts, carousels, reels but the views are very low. I have a page with more than 24K followers and new pages as well. But the followers are decreasing in the page with 24K followers. What could be the issue? Please share if anyone had similar experience, what helped you? Any content strategies, posting tips, or things you wish you’d known earlier? Would really appreciate any advice.

Tiktok Audience in Poland but I’m from the UK?

Have recently started posting on Tiktok and have been generating decent views on videos here and there. I went to check my Analytics on my videos for the first time and I’ve just realised that 80%+ of my views are coming from Poland, when I’m from the UK? For reference, I posted one video from my trip in Poland and since then my non-Poland videos have also been reaching mostly Polish audience and not UK/US. I have also posted all my tiktok’s in the UK, not in any other country. Does anyone know the reason for this or fix? I did just realise that location services was turned off in settings and have now turned this on. Could this have been the reason?
