Social media has become a creator's nightmare. Hopefully these tips are just to get initial reach and not something that's forever. I scroll through and constantly see and hear the same things over and over. Nothing original. It's extremely boring and uninspiring. They're turning people into zombies.
I agree with you so much. I just watched this video and while the advice is useful, it's equally depressing. I've been a filmmaker for years now, one who loves curating original music that perfectly matches the mood of each video I make, and love spending time crafting my videos. Imagine the feeling of being told "yeah, if you want any growth, you can't do this anymore. Just use the same song over and over. And repeat the same ideas that other people have done."
Agree I hate hearing the same sounds and seeing the same things. I’m more inclined to not follow someone doing the same thing as the next person. But that’s just me.
I think you’re missing his point…he’s not saying not to do your thing, but when it comes to social media, don’t try to reinvent the wheel. You don’t have to be unoriginal, but use best practice. Okay, maybe that sounds advice isn’t relevant in your niche. But you can still be clever with time to post, hashtags, etc.
Since I started posting reels, they had been getting 3000 views each reel and I was posting at least once a day. But last week they dropped and started only getting 1000 views even though nothing has changed with the reels.
There was some sort of change on Jan 26 that has cut everyone's exposure. Massive drop in numbers. There's a bunch of posts on r/instagram on reddit talking about it, lots of people seeing even worse drops than you are. I'm seeing the same things, which is why I'm here on youtube to see if anyone else is talking about it.
I got more engagement on my stories but my reel views dropped like crazy but I’m going to keep posting like you said because I have gained 1k followers 😅 I had 1k now I’m at 4100
On the new IG update I see people can heart (like ) someone’s stories and they made it to be more private LOLOL, do you know how to see what stories we like ? Is it in setting ?? The old update was better , I was able to see who i requested to follow , stores I slide up on , emoji sliders , accounts I followed etc . But now i can’t see anything !! :/
@@RobertBenjaminChannel cannot wait for your next video Robert! Hope you can make a video why new creators need to focus on TikTok platform first before IG , RU-vid etc! You’re amazing!
I have 500 so followers but hardly any likes, shares, saves on my content. I do fan art but I get this impression that my art isn't attractive enough. 😥
one idea: record a video of you creating your art... and edit it into a snappy reel. There's loads of ideas for this on TikTok and IG, but aim to do it better
Hello! Thank you for this video. I was wondering if you know a reposting app that allows you to add your original music or sound over someone else’s video? I would appreciate your suggestions or info. Thank you.
Am I the only one who hasn’t gotten the new feature? You post certain clips in stories & they play without clicking the link? Can somebody tell me how you get that feature?
@@RobertBenjaminChannel Thanks Robert. And I did the research on using trending music: I'm an artist and WLop is one of the most popular artists and the music she uses is the epic-drama kind of music. Not the hippy kind... and I dig that kind of music. So, using those kinds of music is okay right?
If I repost another accounts reels can I edit a caption on the video like asking a question to the viewers? Will I get a strike as I’ve edited the original content ?
@@RobertBenjaminChannel Can you tell us more about this and why you have come to this conclusion? I'm not trying to be a pain, I'm trying to gain understanding of this. Everything I ever read or been told about social media, is that platforms want authentic and original content. It seems that organic growth is more authentic. If organic growth goes away, what is left? Maybe I don't understand what you mean by organic growth. Thanks! Maybe this is a whole new video subject?
@@RobertBenjaminChannel there's a trend called mr incredible becoming Uncanny and canny I've been posting these videos alot and none of them getting views, but some channels who are newly created are getting alot of views, to be straight no views after uploading trending videos also
I use 3-5 hashtags for reels only one of my posts went viral but my other reels aren’t going viral what can I do (also I run a meme page with 2.5k followers)
