Your initial posts won’t be your best and you probably deleted some by now but do not let the habit of posting fall by the way side. You will get better if you’re willing to keep engaging.
Here is why it is important to keep posting
You will learn
Just by watching and engaging you will soon get a feel of a platform and this will help you learn what is the dominant content type and who the users are. The users will vary from those that just want to vent, those that want to teach, those that want to preach, those that want to sell, those that want to share sports stories, photos, videos, memes or just gossip.
Don’t dismiss a user too quickly instead watch and learn. Try to better understand why some content is doing well on some platforms and not on others. Try also to find out who is behind a certain account and watch how they use it.
Just by being active on line you will learn and get to know what kind of content works best and on which platforms.
You Will Improve
The more you create content the more your content will improve. Just by posting often and staying engaged you will get to know what works best. Also, staying active will help determine what type of content to create and where to post it.
Some platforms are more popular than others for a reason so get to know that reason. On most platforms the majority of users tend to be skewered to a certain demographic so watch and see what they like and why they like it so you can improve on your content for better engagement.
Staying active will also help you determine the best times to post and will help you improve on knowing how much time to spend on a platform.
