When it comes to the content you share here, do you “stay in your lane?” ️ Recently
When it comes to the content you share here, do you “stay in your lane?” ️ Recently I tried mixing up my content and the results were not good. When I don’t march to the beat of the algorithm, IG won’t surface my content to as many people. I don’t know how it is for you, but it’s not just that certain photos are better — it’s more because they fit a certain photo category type that IG feels is suited to what people want to see. ️ But sometimes we don’t know what we want to see until we see it. My tests haven’t been scientific, but they’ve shown what happens when I post anything other than nature photos and macros. And it made me wonder if you’ve experienced the same thing? I think the fear of losing likes and comments discourages some of us from shooting and sharing random, or “in the moment.” Have you decided to switch from color to black and white or change from cityscapes to outdoor activities, or something different? What happened? Did the algorithm adjust? Hiding “likes” was meant to encourage creators to be creative — to post whatever you want without worrying about engagement numbers. But it’s not that satisfying because IG can’t figure out what to do with you. ♀️ When I returned to sharing what Instagram wants me to share (flowers & nature), my numbers started to go up again. Has your content been “pigeonholed,” or categorized by IG? ❓ Wishing you all safe and well Photos: #succulentsgarden #succulentssaturday #succulentslove #succulentsofinsta #shadowhunters #shadowphotography #shadowsandlights #reflectionsinwater #reflectionshots #seattlesummer #onmywalk #onmywalktoday #stayinmylane #stayinyourlane PS: Update with family — all is well. It’s a sad reason to come home, but our oldest son is coming back for the memorial service. We haven’t see him or our daughter-in-law @queenhorsfall since Christmas of 2018, and we can’t wait!
