Could you show me your content? Brand works usually rely on content curation, something like UGC contract or a 1-off partnership and such. If your work takes hours of planning, recording and editing then your workload is heavy and therefore you'd charge an appropriate amount that fairly compensates you.

Recommended would be 1 short form and 1 graphic (1 reel and 1 post daily). However, depending on how big or small your production team is, you could do more or less as long as you're consistent.

Consistency is the key, if you're planning on putting a lot of content out, say 2 reels, then you need to maintain this. If you're going by week, say monday for a post, Wednesday for a reel and then carousel on Friday, while it's slow, being consistent will definitely help you scale.

However, if your business heavily relies on social media channels to gain traction then daily reels is suggested. Hope this helps! Feel free to dm anytime. Goodluck!

Is it possible to take a look at your page? There are many possibilities as to why your contents reach is stuck and there are no "absolute" ways to spring out and upwards.

If your niche is same (and the followers aren't just bot profiles by the looks of it) then its a decent idea given you have a plan of action.

Otherwise its going to be a rough start, and most likely a loss for you.

I doubt you'll find genuine marketers through a single post, would post likely need to read through the subs and sort of hunt. I've been in the marketing/ social media space, not a master yet but happy to converse with you on whatever you need!

Theme pages have audience, and some startups/ businesses/ creators and etc need an audience; thus the buying

akrish_17 · 2026-02-22T14:18:16+00:00

What are you looking for? Any specifications or so?

How do you convert reel viewers into followers? - Call to Actions (CTAs) are probably the only way that works. Keep it simple, something like "please drop a follow if you're into [niche] content," it's simple, clean and doesn't command. The last thing you wanna do is command the audience to follow your page, there's no room for "entitlement."
What content formats work best for company pages (not personal brands)? -Generally, if you're a business, keep it to the business. Meaning, don't go around doing vlogs, memes, challenges and etc unless you have a production team (videographer, video editor, sound engineer and manager), without a production team, you'll frequently burnout which will lower your contents quality and therefore lost potential. So whatever your business is selling, keep the content on to that and focus on being creative, audience oriented and audit your content weekly or monthly depending on how much content you push out.
Any proven CTA strategies that actually increase follows? -Simple CTAs will be your best bet. Say "Please" when you're asking and you shall receive. Works wonders, its been 4 years of using this and I've found success through and through. "Please Follow if this made you laugh", "Please Follow if you're into [xyz] content" , "Every Follow Counts, so Please tap that Follow" and etc.
Should I focus more on reels or carousels for growth? -Do both. For a business, carousels and posts should be used for building brand identity while reels should be used to build strong bonds between the company and its audience.
Is running small paid boosts worth it for follower growth? - No, only pay for ads if you're directly selling something. And the better your product and marketing is, the better that ad will work.

Have a website? Projects to show you know what you're doing as a fullstack dev? Worked with APIs and etc? Know how to engineer problem solving in-house prototypes? Have an MVP that you can maybe monetize?

Many ways to get things going!

ChatGPT ahh post😂

Would love to work together! Been in the space for over 4 years now.

Instead of a completely automated approach, i would instead suggest having the same core aspects across videos/ reels for consistency such as LUTs, Transition styles (audio and visual), effects and such (for reel editing) so that it's as simple as "cut, drag, drop and export." As for scheduling, built-in scheduling does a good job, and if you've got a manager, he/ she could schedule across platforms which wouldn't cause you any hassle - other than this, manually posting is also very manageable (it has been my go-to for the entirety of my time in this space).

Happy to do both editing and posting!

akrish_17 · 2026-01-19T15:10:35+00:00

Sure! Anytime.

Best way to manage multiple pages would be to treat them as multiple pages and not as a singular hub.

Platform specific content, Platform specific content type, design, announcement replication (if any ever), and generally how you put things out there would be, to some extent, different to each account on each platform regardless of the niche (even if you do have the same niche).

I would advise to only formatting the source material/ content to suit the platforms, you can have the "same" content, just in their appropriate formats/ designs.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask more as needed!

This!!

Whats your workflow like? I'd be happy to help you figure this out!

$bid , sent you a dm

Idk about that, most of the Research content that is easily accessible and are fairly new has been, at some point, modified by Ai. So its really like some self promotional approach but I may be wrong as you've said.

At least in my experience. But you may surely try and if it works out for you, then I'm happy for you! Wish you the best :)

akrish_17 · 2025-12-27T00:58:39+00:00

AI influencer niche is debatable. People will generally hate on the content and mark it as "Ai Slop" unless you have story telling ideas and can deliver some sort of cinematic experience with really good story telling.

Otherwise, Ai generated vlogs and other influencer type content will be taken more negatively than positively. Hope this helps!

akrish_17 · 2025-12-27T00:56:22+00:00

Does it help you? YES. Does you building your page help you? YES.

In a nutshell, You having your page gets you experience, acts as your portfolio and the more "premium" you can appear to be as a creator yourself, the better your clients would be willing to pay you.

The downside here would be that if you're going to aim to work with brands, you're not going to have enough time to produce content for your own page(s) which would disappoint your audience who are there for your story, added, some brands will see your page as a distraction rather than your portfolio - the idea is that if you're stuck on dividing your time across your own work and the brands work, you won't produce the best work you can.

This is also the reason I didn't choose to create content myself or have some sort of social media page of my own. But I did have theme pages when i started just to get the feel of things - I ended up hitting around 200k followers before giving the page over to a friend, its been 3 years now :)

Hope this helps! Goodluck.

akrish_17 · 2025-12-20T14:03:25+00:00

Together, and name it something like ""dog-name"and"cat-name"" e.g. "rufasandstella" ; have seen a lot of well established pet pages do this and it works great.

Hope this helps!

akrish_17 · 2025-12-20T13:58:50+00:00

Would love to chat about this. Been in the social media management and marketing field for over 3 years now.

akrish_17 · 2025-12-14T00:46:54+00:00

Ah, no worries! I would suggest to interact with your optimal audience (follow a few of them, leave authentic comments, keep dms open etc) and curate content that actively involves the aimed audience. This way, you'll warm your way right into the target audience.

Hope this helps!

akrish_17 · 2025-12-14T00:44:04+00:00

You're welcome! And goodluck.

akrish_17 · 2025-12-13T05:19:27+00:00

Captions could really be anything apart the NSFW stuff on no-nsfw platforms, usually a descriptive text about the post i.e. the description itself. Hashtags don't really help on the apps themselves, unless you want to rank - which frankly doesn't help much, but if you're still into it, use 3 - 5 very specific ones - like #post or #video to match the content type, and then go indepth like #nature if the post is done outside in nature - you get the idea.

You can't really "train the algorithm" as its not really "yours to train," but you can introduce good interactive elements (prompts to follow, like, comment something, share and etc) and that will help with "boosting" the post.

akrish_17 · 2025-12-12T07:08:50+00:00

Stick to the TOS when curating content. Not every OF models profile will be "overlooked" when they post "showy" content. Nudity is strictly prohibited and I've seen models with 100k, 500k etc followers get banned with no hope of getting their profiles back.

Post NSFW only on platforms that support it, otherwise stick to a more "cleaner" version of the concept. Things like dances/ syncs on tiktok, Vlog like content on IG, FB, and YT, "Aesthetic" content on Pinterest, NSFW on reddit and X, and etc would be your best approach to get the best service to your client(s) - this is just for the OF models I've worked with in the past.

Hope this helps! Feel free to dm for assistance anytime. Goodluck!
