I've heard a lot that build in public works only for people who have the presence of more than 10+years on social platforms.
So is there any way for new people to get into this?

totally works if you're new, just don't expect overnight magic. the whole point is documenting the messy middle, people connect with that way more than polished success stories
I started posting process shots of a side project on day 2 of having an account and got more engagement from those than anything else. you don't need a backlog of credibility, just be transparent about what you're trying to figure out
# Is social media marketing becoming less about followers and more about distribution? A brand can have 100K followers and still get little reach, while a small account can get millions of views from one post. So what matters more today: **building a large audience or creating content that algorithms distribute widely?** **Curious what SMM people think.**
i help a guy with his content, and lately i feel weird taking any credit for the numbers. he makes beautiful short videos, properly shot, with a lot of thought behind the lighting and the edit. those usually get a few thousand views. his work needs the reach, so i suggested trying some of what's already working. copying trending concepts and formats, adapting them to his style, using trending audio. those started clearing 100k, some way past that. it kept happening, and eventually “let’s try a few” turned into most of what we make. when we first started working together, we'd spend our conversations talking about shots, where the light would be, how long to hold on something. now we're mostly talking about whether a trend is still alive and if we can get ours posted in time. he told me he feels like he's losing a little piece of his soul for views. i didnt really know what to say because i'm the one who encouraged it, and the reason i gave him still holds up: more people are seeing his work. except i'm starting to wonder what that's worth if the work they're seeing is stuff he doesn't want to make. i don't think the trend videos are beneath him or that being proud of something means it deserves 100k views. but we went into this thinking the trend stuff would bring enough attention to support the work he actually cared about. instead, every time we plan one of his original ideas, we're comparing it to what following a trend could do, and it gets harder to justify spending the time. for people who manage accounts for a living, have you actually made that balance work? i'm interested in how you decide what gets made when the stuff your client loves consistently gets a fraction of the views. we said we'd keep doing both, but that hasn't meant much in practice.
I am(21M) we are 4 members in my family my younger sister and my parents . My mom runs a small shop and my father too. We all have smartphones except my mom. Over 5 years we are using phones. But my don't have a smartphone or any phone she doesn't even know how to use it. At the night when father comes home and she too then she watch some serial in phone. I noticed she is more happier than 3 of us. She is extremely focused on her work and doesn't complain for anything and handle all the situation very wisely. She knows the real world and not influenced by the fake social media world.
hi, i'm Jean. My instagram account is filled with independent imagery filmed off an old DELL laptop. It's almost a year of constantly posting imagery posts (most have been archived now after learning double posting is not the effective strategy in my case) and stories everyday. Both of Pinterest & IG are tied in together. After a year of sharing, traction hasn't increased & stuck at the 210-220 following mark. I have gotten recognition from models, photographers, music producers, smaller artists & somewhat similar creators. Noticed the other day that most of my audience is male (62%), that may be a major factoring issue. When you see all the iPhone 5 & pretty lighting posts, you notice that it's mostly women in the likes which makes perf sense. what guy would appreciate a dope photo with awful quality besides there being am attractive girl? No clue how to fix the algorithm to push my account to woman with similar content but that's the wish here lol to also add, my pictures get reposted on Pinterest constantly. Typically the description will have a book/movie characters name or nothing at all. which makes it difficult to retrace back to me. I've seen my pictures on tiktok's, reels, profile pictures on multiple platforms & thumbnails for youtube beatmakers(😭) basically, my pictures are getting decent traction, it's just not getting traced back to my account which makes up for very low engagement. would appreciate any feedback!
Lembro quando chegou a pandemia a o trabalho home office foi instalado. Muitas empresas começaram a aparecer mais nas redes sociais (principalmente instagram) e viram que alí era sua vitrine. Com isso começou o famoso serviço de social media, do tipo da empresa pagar alguém para criar tantas artes por semana e manter a constância. Isso ainda existe? Lembro na época fazia como complemento de renda e tinham alguns clientes que pagavam mensalidades por "pacotes de artes". Alguém trabalha nesse modo?
I’m curious what makes people decide to follow someone when they come across a new profile :) Is it their aesthetic, personality, lifestyle, the type of content they post or just the overall vibe of their account?
