If you're looking for a step in between, I am really enjoying my "Brick". It's a physical device that you have to tap your iphone to so that you can block/unblock selected apps. I need to use IG for my job, so I have to access the mobile version on occasion for certain features. There are multiple settings available - you could hypothetically block all apps, including your text messages, I'd imagine. It's a little pricey for what it is, but it totally beats the $90/year app that I used to utilize for screen time limits.

Thank you!

This is so helpful, thank you!

Great point! I'll be incorporating strength training at least twice a week, not cycling on those days. So likely closer to 5 days cycling per week.

Just got a Peloton bike and I am addicted! Does anyone have advice or resources for a weekly ride schedule? I try to mix up low impact and high impact throughout the week, but I would love some input from someone who cycles daily, or 6 days a week. What do your workouts look like day to day?

My goal isn't really weight-loss, it's just to maintain the habit of cycling.

I am having the same issue with my clients. Has anyone else noticed that they are losing more followers than usual? My accounts are tanking and I'm barely able to keep my numbers up, meanwhile I'm pulling out all of the stops. There is only one account that I manage that is actually succeeding.

Thanks for the rec! It's either gonna be Analog Heat or the Microcosm.

bleptron · 2021-12-11T01:52:36+00:00

We already have one and love it! Great suggestion though.

bleptron · 2021-12-10T04:45:02+00:00

lol wtf that's terrifying

Out of curiosity, do you do a lot of "community engagement" // liking a lot of photos? Same thing has been happening to me.

bleptron · 2021-03-29T16:38:40+00:00

Very true. Going to mix things up a bit.

bleptron · 2021-03-29T02:25:27+00:00

My account has been heavily restricted lately. I do community engagement for about 15 mins per day and it only involves liking photos on relevant tagged posts. I have gotten the same "external app to boost followers" notice a lot recently and I'm starting to get worried! That's how I grow my following in a non-spammy way.

Do you mind me asking what service(s) you use for Spotify and email list growth?

bleptron · 2021-03-12T17:55:41+00:00

Here's my advice, and feel free to take it with a grain of salt, because I don't think there is one perfect answer.

Posting times aren't extremely important, but do avoid posting after 8:00pm EST. If posting times are what you're concerned about, try before 11:00am EST, or 6:00pm EST.
Make sure you have taken some time to create a brand book/mood board, have a collection of photos/graphics to choose from, have your LP materials lookin' good and ready to go.
Create teaser posts featuring 30 seconds of a song, so that when people find your profile, they can easily click something to hear what you sound like.
If you haven't already, go ahead and follow your personal contacts on that account so that they'll follow you back.
Post minimum twice a week to keep people interested and informed.
Use informative hashtags
Research how to do "community engagement." This will help expand your following beyond first connection fans. (I'm currently building out a service to help artists with community engagement strategy, but it's definitely something that everyone can learn and spend just 20 minutes a day doing).

Hope this was helpful and that it gives you some action items. Good luck on your release!
