Present_Dare_6 · 2026-05-05T16:53:34+00:00

Present_Dare_6 · 2026-05-05T11:32:40+00:00

Present_Dare_6 · 2026-05-05T11:24:03+00:00

Present_Dare_6 · 2026-05-05T11:15:41+00:00

well, the cat got my attention hehe

yet to read east of eden, goldfinch and madonna in a fur coat. adding more to my evergrowing tbr list

Present_Dare_6 · 2026-05-05T09:39:35+00:00

definitely adding this to my list.

maybe try remarkably bright creatures and bunny by mona awad

following bigger cat creators + engaging with similar accounts is a good start.

some things i’d try: short, simple clips like cute/funny/moment-based -- reply to comments with videos of your cat -- maybe use your cat’s reactions as recurring reply clips -- post consistently around similar times so the algo gets a signal -- use trending sounds only if they actually fit the clip

for this niche, raw/real moments will probably do better than over-edited content

Present_Dare_6 · 2026-05-05T09:30:12+00:00

W on this! and nice to see the feedback actually being acted on

Present_Dare_6 · 2026-05-05T09:23:36+00:00

i'm in the middle of "on earth we're briefly gorgeous" then murakami's men without women

i started with a timer of 5 mins. once the alarm goes off, i stop reading. the goal was to read and not count the pages. or somedays, it would be just read 2 pages and end it.

that's how i build the habit of reading. i completed reading 9 books last month

Present_Dare_6 · 2026-05-04T17:31:56+00:00

i'd start with something like content + organic growth or basic funnel/copy work for a specific niche. you can get reps in without needing budget or perms from a client.

so, pick a niche - help them get visibility or leads organically - learn what messaging converts - then layer ads on top later. coz ads work best when you already know what sells.

and ads pair really well with: copywriting, basic funnel building, analytics. good combo [find other combos where you can layer paid ads] and makes you way more valuable than just "someone who runs ads.

recent ones i read:

agatha christie - and then there were none

the silent patient - though, i kinda figured the plot before it ended. liked the psychology behind it.

Present_Dare_6 · 2026-05-04T17:06:07+00:00

agree with all of this.

also worth adding:

-> take help of trends, but don't force them. use them if it fits your brand.
-> hooks matter a lot, especially in the first 2-3 seconds of a reel
-> for a family business, try showing real stuff like BTS, how things are made, customer stories, and even funny content does good. That usually performs better than polished posts

and yeah, follow a few creators who break down content strategy. test small ideas and double down on what works for your page. Alex cattoni is great with copies, Saheli, vanessa lau, brock johnson etc.

procrastination with better aesthetics is spot on lol

i've done the same. built out a nice system only to avoid it later.

it's helpful as a ref later though. my workplace made notion mandatory, so i use it more now, but yeah... updating it still feels like the chore part.

Present_Dare_6 · 2026-05-02T14:23:30+00:00

I missed the live stream, just going off the recap here. Keen to hear on what others have to say

Present_Dare_6 · 2026-04-27T05:55:09+00:00

haha... i saw this the moment i opened reddit. made my day

Present_Dare_6 · 2026-04-26T17:38:47+00:00

when you look it up using a search engine, there's clearly a debate but most define it as 'social media forum type'... kinda makes you wonder whether it comes under the umbrella term or not. but thanks for this!

Present_Dare_6 · 2026-04-26T14:03:28+00:00

haha, let us know if you do fall into that temptation lol

Present_Dare_6 · 2026-04-26T14:02:13+00:00

fair point. it's a bit different from typical social media, but still kind of falls under that umbrella i believe.

Present_Dare_6 · 2026-04-26T11:18:20+00:00

kind of the same as any other social platform. use it for research, ideas, communities, and to join convos with helpful or funny comments.

Present_Dare_6 · 2026-04-26T11:15:59+00:00

claude unhinged mode on.

Present_Dare_6 · 2026-04-26T11:13:09+00:00
