the goal is to allow the people to define the social media client, while using a common data layer.

Hi everyone, I'm a wlw couple content creator and I'm very puzzled about my recent engagement. I've been posting high quality videos like always, and most of them are getting a staggering 90 likes in the first 300 views, literally within 5 minutes. Then, just out of nowhere, the views suddenly slow down and it stops getting pushed despite immediate and very active engagement. For context, I first started posting in February, and since my very first video (which hit 1M views within a week) literally every single thing I posted would always hit at least 10k and on average 40k views within a day or two, and regularly over 100k as well. Recently, the account died (every new video stuck at 0 views, impossible to fix) so I started a new account. I'm very confused, because I post the exact same things: around 7 second long wlw jokes/relatable content. Basically every video I post goes on the same trajectory that on my old account would always lead to popularity - over 60 likes in 300 views/couple minutes - but then randomly gets frozen in the middle of doing very well. I have checked my analytics and they are exactly the same on both accounts, which should imply that my new videos should do exactly as well as my old videos. But for some mysterious untraceable reason they're getting blocked. How do I resolve this? Does anyone else have experience with this? One more thing is these prompts saying stuff like "Your content's fire-just needs more viewers. • Spend £9 get 26377 views" pop up under all of my new videos. Is it possible that they're freezing my views as some sort of strategy to get me to pay them? Any insights are appreciated. Thanks!
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?
So I started this fresh account because I wanted to promote my business ( jumping ropes) through instagram. I did some research in my niche and took some video´s that were above 1M views. Reworked them in my own language (the countries i´m selling are Belgium & Netherlands). They get pushed to the audience ( for example 500 views of the 600 were non-followers). But they get no traction to go above the 1k because there are no comments, no saves, no reposts. Even tho i´m posting educational format content. I´m kinda struggling with this. I didn´t post that much tbf (I think 15 reels). Tested different formats. When I thought it was a good reel it flopped xp Any help would be usefull. Ideas, plan of attack (strategy), what would make u stop scrolling when hearing educational content about jumping ropes? Or other type of content about ropeskipping? Maybe i´m in this tunnel vision and need some eyes from the outside 😁. Thanks in advance The page on insta is: @voltamoves Started 3 weeks ago.
If there is any influencer who would like to hire a video editor for a short period of time, I could be the one. I can edit short and long form of youtube and instagram videos according to the ongoing trends and of your preference at a minimum wage.
Imagine you work all summer, as a then 12, old to launch your own business. She did EVERYTHING herself, AI generated website, manually built a database of service locations (this took her about 30 hours, cemetery locations), Order taking ability, payment processing and customer database built within that site. Logo's, flyers, business cards, social media accounts..etc..all done by her Months of work, and last night (9.15.2026) she decided to go live...and by live basically sharing her FB profile on my facebook page, an various local FB 'service provider' groups. Then.. last night about a half hour later... "Dad!!! we got a comment" Then dead silence... Greg Colton (Family Guy Director), who I've known for probably 20+ years, posted this comment. It's been delete but I have a screen shot (not sure I can attach it but will try) "Sorry, she created nothing. This is AI slop & children should not be using it. This kills any identity a brand might want to have & closes Wallets" The kid literally had a tear running down her face when I got to the table she was working at. I'd love for her to get home from school today and have a $hitton of followers. As someone that obviously knows NOTHING about the market, What do you guys suggest? The business is called Shine After Life, which is a headstone cleaning service in the Buffalo NY area inspired by her grandpa (my dad) who is no longer with us. I'd like to post the FB page and website so you can see what she's done but I am not sure it's allowed? Many Thanks to all who chime in!
