This is not an easy job and if you aren’t careful, you can end up getting taken advantage of and feeling incredibly burnt out.

📱 Adam Mosseri says that follower count is less important than view and like counts when it comes to an account’s relevance

• 6 days ago he posted to Threads: “Follower counts matter less than view and like counts. I understand why people focus so much on follower counts; they're prominent and they're easy to find. But if you actually want to get a sense for how relevant an account is, look at their how many likes they get per post and how many views per reel instead.”

🔔 Instagram has added a new sticker for creators, “Notify”, which provides another way to inform their audience when they post

• Creators will be able to prompt their audience to set a reminder to ensure they see their upcoming posts.

• When the viewer clicks on the sticker, they’ll have a choice of which elements they get notifications about.

Make sure you set up a public Threads profile.”
