🚀 Hey everyone! I just dove into the deep end by creating social media accounts for my business across every platform, and wow—what a ride it has been! 🎢🙌 I have to say, my respect for social media managers has skyrocketed. It’s not just about posting cute pictures; there’s a lot of strategy behind it!
Here are some struggles I’ve faced so far and why I think they’re pretty common for anyone starting out:
- Content Overload: Trying to figure out what to post can be overwhelming. With so many platforms, it’s hard to maintain a consistent voice and vibe!
- Timing is Everything: Knowing when to post for maximum engagement seems like a guessing game—especially with different time zones! 🕒
- Budgeting for Ads: Deciding how to allocate ad spend is tricky. Should I boost a post or run a campaign? Where do I even start? 💸
- Keeping Up with Trends: The social media landscape changes daily. One minute TikTok dances are in, the next you’re hearing about the latest algorithm changes. It’s hard to keep track!
These challenges can make or break your social media game. The pressure to engage your audience while staying true to your brand can be tough. But, I think getting organized can really help:
- Create a Content Calendar: Planning out your posts can alleviate some of the stress. Plus, it keeps your content varied and interesting!
- Utilize Analytics: Look at what works and what doesn’t. Adjust your strategy according to engagement metrics. 📊
- Stay Educated: Follow social media blogs or join online courses to keep up with the changes! Here’s a great resource to check out: Hootsuite Blog.

Yes, it is slept on. Lots of analysis and experimentation. People don’t realize you got to make like 6 accounts and then post on different times and different types of content.
Good stuff
Smart move.
One quick advice.
Don’t try to play the social media game on every platform.
Focus on 1 or 2 at the beginning. Focus where is your core audience hanging around.
For example, I have a business about Diy Electronics for hobbist. Most of our clients are 50yo +.
Most of our social efforts are on Facebook groups and online forums.
We are on ig but ofc is not the same return of investment.
Being on tiktok would be a waste of time.
Focus where your audience is first or you’d go crazy.
Alright someone said it….
Before you do it yourself, it’s easy to claim that ChatGPT can do everything for you
ChatGPT is definitely an amazing tool but it can’t do EVERYTHING
Quick question… Are you creating your profile on all social media platforms because your audience uses all of those or are you just making them for fun??
Social proof is important but then the right place matters as well!
Social is hard. But if you post consistently, it’ll compound and your presence will grow.
Omg how awful
