I’m going to check out the starter kit. All of our social posts and blog recipes are a hobby for us. We try to have work life balance, and post some fun stuff. We’ve had some pretty awesome brand partnerships, but I feel like we’re miles away from being able to monetize. We do mostly shorts at the moment and we did a couple of long form videos in the summer. I’m proud of our progress but we’re so far. we’re at 5600 subscribers and 1 million views in the last 90 days. This seems nice but we would need 10 million views in 90 days to qualify to monetize. Feels pretty far unfortunately. Thanks for all the guidance you’ve shared over time. It feels good to make changes that feel right. I’m positive you’ll look back one day and realize how happy you are to have made that change. Best of luck with the new direction.

@ElizabethDavisVlogs 6 месяцев назад

The box instagram puts creators in is disgusting. It’s so limiting and it literally kills my brain cells trying to come up with ways to succeed on the instagram platform. This gives me courage to consider leaving instagram for a while as well.

I left Instagram back in March of 2022 on a 30-day "break" and haven't been back since. I've been saying for years that Instagram isn't as effective as it used to be (especially for Coaches/Freelancers/Course Creators). It requires double the effort for a 3rd of the impact and results you could get back in 2018/19. I don't have TikTok or Twitter and only use RU-vid and LinkedIn and I've been able to maintain steady sales and business growth without the overwhelm. I think you're making a great decision and I hope Instagram sees this video and decides to make chances to make the platform better.

@undertheradar-skr 6 месяцев назад

Great choice! And brave.

@zackmalone 6 месяцев назад

Instagram simply isn't worth the effort-to-reward ratio anymore. There's a constant increase in the amount of time you must spend on the platform and unnecessary hoops you have to jump through just to have your content seen by anyone, including people who already follow you. I get that it's a business and they want people on the platform all day everyday, but at some point most people will realize what a giant waste of time IG is, where the focus is on quantity over quality and you're seeing nothing but repetitive/recycled content because everyone is just trying to "play the game".

I am an MVP over here. Thank you so much for doing this video. As a solopreneur, I have found trying to keep up with the ever-changing Instagram platform exhausting. I have seen next to no growth in two years. When I do buckle down and post more consistently all I attract are the spammers. My content is also not pushed out to new followers. I am in agreement with you that time is money and to keep doing what I am doing and getting the same results is stupid. Enjoy your Christmas break, I intend to.

If you're not twerking or spewing out negativity (and some people actually believe they're being positive as they lace all their posts with cussing and fussing) then your content isn't pushed out. I gave up on IG years ago. Thanks for your honesty!

@awakeningsoultribe 6 месяцев назад

I totally feel and agree with you! I was growing on Instagram but it was draining! With that being said, I am enjoying Instagram Threads because I love to express my thoughts in writing authentically. I felt like in Instagram no one really read the captions. It was all about reels and photos/images. RU-vid long form content works better for business and attracting people to you. I think what's coming to a head is that many are forgetting about just being authentic and sharing from their heart on their terms rather than competing with an algorithm constantly. ♾💜🙏🙌

@WendyLitteral 6 месяцев назад

I really walked away from Instagram a while ago. I have old scheduled posts going up, but that's it. I put up stories for my friends, really, but even that's kinda eh, when I feel like it It's turned into a personal account 100%. It's just become too hard and for the same amount of effort I could put up a whole RU-vid video that lives on for YEARS instead of seconds. I mean, why. Pair it with a blog post and your content just lives on forever. And I think that's all social media - Facebook, Twitter, etc. They've made it too hard unless you have a literal team of people. And then it's not connecting with people, it's a company. Which isn't what anybody wants. Thanks for being so honest. Made me feel better about ghosting Instagram. :)

Thank you for being honest and vulnerable with us.

@Handbagholic 6 месяцев назад

This hit home! Thanks for your brutal honesty. I agree, RU-vid is a much better platform. My Instagram got taken down randomly a few months ago for a few weeks - it felt impossible to speak to anyone that works at Instagram. I had over 70k followers and even PAID for meta verified, nothing. It really showed me just how fragile the platform is and when I put effort into RU-vid it pays me - I don't have to keep relentlessly making content without some kind of reward, Instagram feels like so different. I think you're making a good decision, good luck Millie!

@ktrgomes 6 месяцев назад

Hello Millie, I understand you. I've been on Instagram for years, but I became a content creator recently, and it's been very challenging to grow there. I make videos every day, show up on stories, create connections, but it hasn't been enough. I've been struggling with such low results there. Here, it's possible to feel more comfortable and valued. Even though I've reduced my content here on RU-vid, I realized that when I was focused here, I had a much more significant return. I must consider that it's still quite low; I don't have enough to be monetized. However, I'm going back to RU-vid. I want to help people going through the visa process, like I did. Congratulations on your channel and the way you speak. I'm Brazilian, living in the USA, and I follow very few people from here, but I was enchanted by you, and I admire you a lot. Thank you for your content. ♥

Your last point is exactly what I’m feeling, spot on!! I shared with my audience that I’m feeling anxious, can’t even open dms to reply messages, i avoid looking at new posts for comments and you just described it. It’s the burnout from that platform! I took the longest break ever from Instagram unintentionally and now getting back to it is so scary, 1 to 2 posts and I’m out! It’s so sad what they’ve done with a platform that everyone used to love, by creating high and mighty rules that ensure creators keep jumping for something elusive. The goalpost keeps shifting and I can’t anymore. I knew what I’m feeling was personal-related, but yup you just made me realize Instagram is part of the problem too. Unfortunately they have refused to listen and I hope every creator esp smaller accounts move to RU-vid. I’ve seen growth here when I create pure content from the heart and it’s time to embrace this more. IG is a love-hate relationship for sure. I want to serve my small audience but there has to be a better way that doesn’t make my heart palpitate.

I totally relate to this. Thank you for sharing and being so honest Millie.🙌🏻 Putting all my time and attention on RU-vid too moving forward as feeling so frustrated with Instagram and the time spent on it creating with not much in return.🤦‍♀️ Wishing you all the best with RU-vid and so happy you are able to share all your knowledge/content for the social media platforms in one place. SUBSCRIBED. Look forward to watching your videos.💕

I also feel very anxious about Instagram right now. I've invested so much time into it that leaving seems wrong, but at the same time, it no longer brings me satisfaction. I don't like reels, neither making them nor watching them. I just want to post cute photos like in the old times. However, when I try to post photos, almost no one sees them, even though I know people like them because I always have people in real life telling me they are beautiful. I enjoy participating in events and receiving products to try, but I feel the constant pressure to perform and receive comments; otherwise, what I post doesn't seem valuable enough. I know it's not true, but it's like a snake eating its tail. I would like to go back to making RU-vid videos, but at this time, I don't have much time to shoot and edit them, and Instagram seems more immediate, even though it's still frustrating.

Thanks for this video love. I left instagram about a year and a half ago now ( so so so glad I did ) and was actually wondering if I should go back on lately - but I really appreciate all you said and now Im thinking..why the heck would I go back to that! That PTSD relationship was REAL. We certainly arent the only ones and too many people on there say they dont want to be but feel they have to be. That certainly isnt good!

I've been thinking about something similar for a very long time now, and come 2024, I'll post on Instagram for fun and randomly. I don't want it to be a daily thing. Like you, I want to focus more on my blog, online biz and being of service to others. It's so difficult to just be yourself and grow on IG. Growth comes from the hustle and I'm not that grrl. Thank you for your great video and I'm excited for you as well xo

@iamchiaurelia 6 месяцев назад

I’m so happy for you & your decision to follow your own joy! I don’t mind doing the dishes, literally give me some music & it’s like a mini spa lol😂 however I do mind the everyday rat race of having to fit into a box & hope to be seen, it’s so exhausting! I’ve been contemplating only focusing on YT & I feel like this video has perfect timing. Thank you for simply being YOU! Sincerely, An MVP! 😉

"Posting to instagram feels like dishes." OMG, this is absolutely true! That quote totally resonated with me. Thank you for all your wonderful advice and honesty. I am a loyal RU-vid follower of yours!

@aenglish8615 6 месяцев назад

Millie, how raw and real and it totally makes sense!! Thanks for keeping us in the loop. I totally agree with you, we have to find platforms that align with our values and our company goals. In my opinion, the whole idea of having tech platforms with algorithms is that these would automatically use AI to place posts in front of target audiences without users having to post 3x a day, to automate things rather than make us have to burn brain cells on strategizing 🤯 Anyhow, I totally support you, and I'm glad we'll be able to see you teach and share more freely on RU-vid❤️❤️❤️

I personally resonated with the chapter regarding limitations. Free souls CAN'T be put into boxes and we us a content creators NEED freedom! You did a really smart move! Wishing you good luck on your journey!

This is the definition of following your joy! Love this so much. I’m sick of IG too 😩

@LarissaDening 6 месяцев назад

I feel exactly the same way about Instagram: it was great back in 2016/17/18 but now it sucks and feels like a chore! I have been focusing on YT instead for the passed two years. Growth is a lot slower and creating long form content is so much more work but I feel like the pay off is so much better or will be in the long run. I look forward to more videos about how to grow on YT from you! ❤

@8cupsCoffee 6 месяцев назад

Thank you girl! I am struggling to invest over there. I will still post my reels but I think I needed to see that it's ok to put my energy elsewhere. I still post to facebook too, but just because I already made the content. Thanks for always giving us valuable content.

@lloydvest 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for being so honest. I feel so drawn to checking my IG to reply to comments and come up with reel ideas all the time and I hate it. RU-vid is where I want to focus my energy this year but I still find myself putting time and energy into creating for IG, it’s exhausting.

MVP! I've never done well on there and thank you for validating that it's ok not to like IG. I feel like a weight has been removed from my shoulders, as my mentors told me to focus on IG but I never vibed with it.

@coachvictoriacanham 6 месяцев назад

Makes total sense. I always watch you on YT anyway. Perfect analogy re IG and dishes, I’ve felt the same for SO LONG.

@Styledmicasa 6 месяцев назад

I love that you are sharing your thought process on this! Instagram has been my main platform for the last 2 years and it’s like a hamster wheel. I feel like I have to do 6 second hook videos to get any reach. I can’t just share my design content and still grow. Lots of effort for very little reward!
