Want to start content creation soon

I have experience in a particular area, and I genuinely want to use what I know to provide value and help people, while eventually selling my own digital products.

The problem is that I'm not very good at choosing the right type of content or creating it, and I often find myself jumping between different content styles and ideas without staying focused on one.

What are some realistic, practical steps I can take to figure out the best way to deliver real value to people through content, build an audience, and eventually turn that into a business?

Try everything and then see what seems to get the best numbers. Then replicate that

Partner with someone who has different strengths then you. Ones that compliment your skills.

#1 is incredibly obvious, a niche. I started off with giving my hot take music opinions on my personal account and got 4m views, then another one for my business (website that lets you use your TikTok and Reels data to figure out what to make next).

Your last question genuinely can't be answered until you at least have that niche listed

I had a similar question for marketing where I had lots of options and here is what suggestion I got and I will try to test it and see if it works for me. So sharing it with you as hope it will help you.

Pick one channel and one segment first. For 30 days, test one audience with one format on one channel, and drop the rest. If you cant say who you're writing for in one sentence, that's the first thing to fix.

Facebook limited my business page to 2 link posts a month, then counted a post that didn't even have a link

So apparently Facebook is testing a limit where some business pages can only make two posts with external links a month unless they subscribe, and I found out because Facebook told me I had already used mine. The only problem was... the post I was trying to make didn't have a link in it. 😂 No URL, no www, nothing clickable. I was just talking about something I had been working on, so at first I figured maybe I screwed something up somewhere and didn't realize it. I went through Meta support and they told me there were no restrictions on my account, but my page was part of this test where non-subscribers can be limited to two posts with links per month. Okay, I think two links a month for a business page is ridiculous, but whatever, at least I understand the rule. You post two links, you hit the limit, Facebook stops the next one. So I tell them again, yeah, but there is no link in this post. That's when they tell me the system can also flag what they called "link-like content," even if there isn't an actual URL. They mentioned things like saying website, using .com, or wording that sounds like you're telling somebody to visit a site. And I'm sitting there thinking... this is a business page. 😂 Of course I'm eventually going to say the word website. That's kind of one of the things businesses have. So I asked how I was supposed to fix it and they basically told me they couldn't remove the limit, couldn't reset it, and I would have to wait until the beginning of the next month. And to top it off, Facebook had already shown me a popup promoting Meta One so I could keep sharing links, and support told me subscribing may help avoid those non-subscriber posting limits. That's the part that really rubbed me the wrong way. I don't have a problem with companies charging for premium stuff. Give me better analytics, scheduling, AI tools, better support, whatever, and if it's worth paying for then fine. But if you're going to limit something as basic as a business sharing links and then charge for more access to it, I feel like the system should at least be able to tell when somebody actually posted a damn link. Because my whole conversation basically turned into: Facebook: You used your two link posts. Me: This post doesn't have a link. Facebook: Yeah, but it looks like it might. Me: Okay... can you fix that? Facebook: No. Me: So what am I supposed to do? Facebook: Have you considered paying us? 😂 I'm attaching the screenshots because I know how ridiculous this sounds without receipts. Has anybody else managing a Facebook page run into this yet? I'm especially curious about the false positive part, where a normal post with no actual URL gets counted as a link post anyway.

Any tips on how to do Social Media Marketing?

Hi everyone! I'm quite new to Reddit, so I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I'm making this post because I genuinely need some advice, and I'm hoping to hear from people who have experience in the hotel industry, hospitality or digital marketing. My dad owns a small hotel, and honestly, business has been really difficult for us. We're currently getting around 2 guests every 2 months, and despite all the effort we've put into promoting the hotel, we're barely seeing any improvement. We've tried promoting our business on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook, creating content, posting pictures and videos of the rooms, facilities and decorations, but our reach is incredibly low. We barely get views, engagement or enquiries, and it feels like no matter how hard we try, nothing seems to work. What makes it even more discouraging is how much effort and money my dad invested in the hotel and it's heartbreaking to see him spending so much money and time on decorating the hotel for different seasons, holidays and special occasions hoping that more guests would come just to end up getting 0 guests almost every month. But the guests just aren't coming. We don't want to give up, but at this point, we're struggling to understand what we're doing wrong or what we should be doing differently. I'd really appreciate some honest advice: 1. What are the most effective ways to attract guests to an independent hotel? 2. How can we increase our visibility and reach on social media? 3. Are there better platforms than Instagram, TikTok and Facebook for getting actual hotel bookings? 4. How can we attract international tourists as well as local travellers? 5. Should we focus more on Google, travel agencies, booking platforms or other marketing strategies? 6. What are some affordable marketing techniques that actually bring in paying guests? I'm not looking for sympathy or free promotion. I genuinely want to learn what we're doing wrong and how we can improve. If you've ever helped a struggling hotel or small family business grow, I'd be incredibly grateful to hear your experience. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Kimchi’s reported jump from 500K to 25.6M impressions is an interesting distribution case

I’ve been researching how Kimchi’s name spread beyond his original trading audience and bitfan’s July 31 profile reports that one of his X posts reached 25.6 million impressions, compared with roughly 500,000 for earlier posts. That’s about 51 times the earlier figure. These are reported impressions, so they don’t tell us how many individual people saw it or became followers. The content described in the article was largely lifestyle photography. My interpretation is that an existing audience already had a story to attach to those images, which gave people something to discuss when they shared them. That makes the distribution worth examining. I’d want to compare the original post with the quote posts that introduced him to other audiences, then look at whether that attention carried into subsequent uploads. The useful question for content work is how someone becomes recognisable outside the community that first knew them. Kimchi gives us a specific post and a substantial reported change in reach to start investigating.

Social team of one, losing Sprout... What do you use for inexpensive B2B social listening (LinkedIn, X, Reddit...Claude)?

I’m the entire digital team (1 person) at a boutique agency. Our clients are all B2B, mostly tech. I’m used to being able to tap into a big stack of tools from past agencies, but here we’re basically starting from scratch on listening... We have Sprout but it’s ending. Our CFO thinks it’s too expensive, and I never loved it for listening (I've always found it better for content/community management, and it doesn’t cover LinkedIn, which our clients need). Clients don’t want to pay for listening, but we want it anyway for media pitching and content calendars, so it comes out of our budget. We hope to charge for it, but startup budgets also change constantly, so I need month-to-month pricing if possible. We want to track our 10 clients plus 5 general industry topics. Priorities are LinkedIn, X, and Reddit. Does anyone have any tips/tricks? Is this an impossible ask? I know LinkedIn is the hard one, so I’d love to hear workarounds too.... could go for a combination approach (multiple tools and perhaps a Claude workflow that automates alerts). Thanks in advance!
