I've never actually commited to trying to grow my socials before. I always passively posted. So a million years later I'm actually going to give it a shot and document the process. Cause I have a lot of ideas and theories but just have never tried to execute them. so let's go on a journey as I try to explain my social media strategy
The Fastest Way to Grow on TikTok in 90 days
Is to just post good content consistently. I know it sounds too simple to be true but it’s honestly all it is. Like we can obviously go into the intricacies of every type of social media strategy but the basic premise is to just be consistent. And create work that you’re proud of and you’d watch too. And this isn’t solely only on TikTok, it’ll be the same on every other social media platform; Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Pinterest Ideas. I mean it’ll even be the same with life goals.

How to Track Social Media Growth
In general, I’d always say focus on input, not output. But I realise most people need to see results in order to feel some sort of motivation. So while I was just going to use this post to upload my stats as photos cause it seemed like the least effort approach.
I came to my senses and if this is going to be of any help to anyone I’d should probably create a table and actually display data so it’s easier to understand
Content Creator's Key Metrics for Social Media
Always make sure to track your input as well (because at the end of the day that’s the only thing you can control <- this is more a mental health tips over anything).
"focus on input not output"
I’m taking the least effort approach so this is what my chart is gonna look like:
Advanced Metrics you can Track for Social Media Growth
Also, take a note if your face is in it cause I’m super curious to know if that plays a factor. I’m guessing it’s got a positive correlation.

Other Random Stuff I did
2022-Jul-20 Wednesday
Added 6 of Toledo’s Dog Toys to a SmartLoop with Tailwind on a board dedicated to his toys. Probably need to create separate landing pages for each toy. But that may come along when I revamp the site with ACF.
Week 1 [24-30 Jul]
The goal is to post daily on all platforms for @dylankyang. I fell off on Toledo’s but will just do it whenever I can.
