Okay, listen up and get ready to take a shit ton of notes here. Algorithms change, but humans mostly don't. So learn psychology, not platforms. Create content that makes people look good when they share it. If somebody would look smarter or funnier or more interesting by sharing your content, then that's an idea worth spreading. You can't really polish a turd. Your content needs to be remarkable. And by that, I mean it needs to be worth leaving a remark on. You don't need tactics like hashtags or the perfect posting time. You need strategy. People will only watch something if they feel like it's speaking to them. So you need to know who you're talking to in the first place. The perfect ingredients for a high performance post that converts into followers is to talk about an in demand topic that a lot of people are interested in and give it a unique angle. Clear positioning is what will make you grow, but unique and strong positioning is what will give you success. Algorithms are dumb, really dumb. You need to spell out what your content is about to get a categorized. You only ever really need about three or four really strong content ideas that you just rinse and repeat and recycle over and over again. Some of the most successful creators are saying the same thing in basically every video. So prioritize that and stop focusing on shit that doesn't matter.
