I have recently gained a bunch of followers on Instagram and am now at 7k. What do I do from now to try and earn money or get PR packages?? ☺️
(A lot of my followers are men though as I have a larger bust lol)

If you're just starting out, you're probably **overthinking what to post**. I sure did. I used to spend like an hour deciding if an idea was "good enough." Was the hook strong? Was the topic interesting? That only helps you to procrastinate posting the content. The thing that **actually changed my growth** was just starting to post a lot more. For months I was stuck around 200 new followers a month. Now I'm regularly over 1k. Quality per video matters less than you think. I used to believe every video had to be polished, well edited. Now I'll post things that are clearly just okay. Decent idea, fine editing, shot on my phone in one take. Some of those outperform the ones I spent hours on, and I genuinely can't predict which is which. The videos that do 2-5k views are not failures. I used to ignore anything that didn't half go viral. But those "mid" ones pile up. A few every week, each pulling a handful of new follows, and that ends up being most of my monthly growth. The bigger videos are a bonus, not the plan. You get better from reps, not from planning. My hooks, pacing, editing, all of it improved just from doing it way more often. You can't think your way into being good at this. My process now is honestly kind of boring, which I think is the point. I keep a running list of ideas so I'm never staring at a blank screen on filming day. I've been using SagaAI to bounce ideas around and turn a vague thought into an actual angle I can film, which killed most of the overthinking for me. I batch record the videos sometimes, do so basic editing and that's it. Even the scritps aren't exceptional in a sense of structure and storytelling, I just try to provide as much value as I can in each video. That's the whole thing. Volume is the key to growth, seriously just check your top creators to see their frequency. If you're stuck, my honest advice is to stop fixing the idea in your head and go post 10 mediocre things this week. You'll be glad you started the reps today
Every productivity video makes consistency sound like: "just show up every day no matter what." Yeah… that completly fell apart for me. By the time I finish work, survive bedtime chaos with my kid, and finaly sit down at my desk, my brain is basicaly cooked. Trying to force myself to generate content every single night just made me hate the process. So now I do something way less glamorous: Sunday nights, 10PM → Midnight. Thats my entire "studio." I batch everything there now. Concepts, visuals, rough edits, failed experiments, all of it. Weirdly its the first time ive stayed consistant without burning out. One thing that unexpectedly helped was stoping the obsession with finding the "perfect AI model." I used to bounce between a million tabs trying to compare outputs and it honestly became its own form of procrastination. Now my workflow is GPT Image 2 when I need to lock in a look or character, motion generation when physics actualy matter, then PixVerse for the final shots. Main reason I stick with it is I can test workflows from one place instead of jugling subscriptions at midnight. I care way more about finishing content than perfectionism. If something gets me 90% there and saves time im going with that. Curious how other people are handling this longterm. Are you "make content every day" people or more batch-and-survive?
From a very young age I had a dream to visit the Alps but the money was short but my grind wasn’t. As a kid social media was the only way I could have an easy access since my country had restrictions with child labour. I spent 18 months studying the algorithms, obsessions over editing and the learning gurus available online attending those sessions. But the end result was 200 view per video and then silence hits no growth. One day was alone sitting and evaluating what had gone wrong, all those hours of effort and input all in vain. I stopped what I was doing took a break and restarted. I explored what was booming in my niche, what formats kept showing up, what topics were gaining traction before they peaked, what the algorithm was clearly pushing right now versus three months ago. I used a tool called SocialHunt to do most of this without losing my entire day to scrolling. Also started using vidIQ for the YouTube side. Found a smaller tool called Tikmatics that tracks format and audio trends on TikTok before they go mainstream, barely anyone talks about it but the timing edge is real. Once I stopped guessing and started modeling what was actually working, everything changed. First video using this approach hit 34K views. I cried. Not even embarrassed about it. I actually cried. Within two months I had four videos cross 100K. Brands started reaching out. Got my first paid deal, $400 to mention a product. Felt like winning the lottery. Reinvested it immediately into understanding what was working even better. Six months later I'm at $8K a month. Mix of brand deals and a digital guide I sell to people who want to learn the same system. Didn't think anyone would buy it. Sold 200 copies the first month at $25 each. Finally I succeeded my childhood dream of visiting the Alps and cherishing my small victory. So if you are in that seat of realisations drop down your niches. Happy to help

Hey guys! I’m an intern at a sports venue booking company, and I’m working on improving our social media strategy. What actually works to get good organic reach and engagement? Should we focus on reels, memes, sports content, or something else? Would love to hear from people in marketing or anyone who’s grown a brand on social media. Any tips or examples would be appreciated! 🙌
In January 2024 Zuckerberg gave written testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Among the safety tools helisted: "Parental supervision tools, which let teens ortheir parents set daily limits for thetotal timethat teens can spend on Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, Quest, and Horizon. Something families ould choose toturn on. On 25 August 2025 Meta settled the case brought by state attorneys general, eight days intothetrial in Dakland. The judge approved it and entered it as a final judgment the sameday. The agreement requires Meta to set every 13 to 17 year old to a default limit of two hours a day acrass its apps, plus a block from midnight to dam. Only a parent can loosen it. Sothetool hedescribed is now mandatory, and the person who can switch it off is the parent, not theteen. Meta built thetool. The settlement takes away the choice of whetherto use it. What it is not. It is not a confession. The judgment says in terms that Meta denies the allegations and any liability, and the judge approved it "without the final adjudication of issues of fact and law" Nobody found that Instagram harms teenagers. Companies settle mid-trial all thetime. What the documents say that the coverage doesn't. Threethings we only found by reading the agreement itself: 1. About $5bn of the money depends on Meta's rivals. Roughly 70% is guaranteed (ten payments of $1,165,662,174.55). The otherten payments of $502,402,600.77 are only made if rival platforms adopt equivalent limits. If they never do, the agreement says that money \*shall be permanently forfeited by such Settling State and retained by Meta." The strictest rules (one hour perapp, night block from 10pm alsoonly switch on under that condition. Meta now has a financial reason to want its competitors bound by the same rules. 2. Meta's announcement names two companies. The agreement names three, Meta's post says the contingent money is released when YouTube and TikTok adopt the limits. The agreement it sigried says Snap, TikTok and YouTube, all three, and the ones with annual profits over $10bn also have to pay an equal amount. 3. The totals don't match. Headlines say $16.7b, $17 1b, $18bn. The agreement's own payment table adds up to about $16.68bn across every installment, before a separate 75m for the states oosts and 459m to close some older privacy cases. Meta's own past says \*approximately $18 billion." We couldn't find in the documents what acounts for the difference. We filed it as "routine", not a gotcha. Nothing was hidden; the default moved and the denial didn't. It's here because in twayears, when someone asks whether the limits were Meta's idea, the testimony and the court order are bath dated.
