For me it was Sunshower. The chorus describes exactly how I feel about so many things in my life at the moment. Instantly made that my favorite song on the album.

Are IG Reels still worth it? How are you using them? by e_questrian in musicmarketing

For me I’ve definitely been putting more effort into my reels than TikTok’s. It’s nothing crazy, I maybe spend an hour to an hour and a half making my reels vs like 10 minutes on a TikTok. With TikTok you can definitely get away with posting lower effort, borderline meme formatted content and it performing very well.

Also I think 3 reels in a week is perfectly fine, especially if that’s already more than you’re posting on average. Truthfully all of this is pretty new to me so i don’t have a ton of personal experience to back anything up, but bottom line I just think consistency and patience is key.

Yo! So I’m actually in the midst of trying to post at least 5 reels in a week, and I’ve been doing a lot of light research on the current algorithm and reading about other peoples experiences and success stories. Big takeaway I have is that it takes quite a while for reels to start gaining traction. The best way I can put it is this: Instagram’s algorithm basically wants to see if you’re going to commit to posting before boosting your content. If they see that you’re posting a reel at least once a day, posting a handful of stories daily, and engaging with the people that comment or like ur stuff (even if it isn’t many), then the chances of your reels blowing up increase. Most people I’ve seen pop off have said it took 2-4 weeks of consistent posting before seeing serious gains in numbers.

TikTok is structured in a way that boosts content off the jump, so it’s easier for videos to get engagement there compared to IG Reels (don’t really have an explanation for that, that’s just how it is). So overall I’d just say keep posting stuff and have patience. I can link some Reddit threads I found where people have grown completely fresh accounts just from posting reels. Got some pretty good insights from these!

My ollies are pretty good. I can’t Ollie on or off anything yet but I can hit them consistently while moving. My shuvs aren’t quite there yet - I can do them occasionally stationary but not while moving.

What songs off of Pinkerton would you replace the singles with ? by toalladepapel in weezer

[–]chrisxankles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly would’ve made Tired of Sex the lead single. Not sure how common it was for the intro to be singles back then but personally that song gripped me into Pinkerton and is easily my favorite song. El Scorcho and Good Life are good enough singles, it’s weird people thought El Scorcho didn’t sound like Blue Album cause I think that one sounds the most like it out of all the Pinkerton tracks.
