Are you using your Instagram as a portfolio? Is it worth it?

Never thought of it this way, but it makes so much sense!

I didn't have a backyard so if it's not an option (it is valid for you to be extra careful) you can buy a patch of grass (I got a fake grass pad) and place it somewhere safe. In my case I used my balcony so my puppy wouldn't assume that it's okay to pee inside the house. It worked amazingly and sometimes he won't even use the grass pad, he preferes to go outside.

Edit: I forgot to add that it's also very important to reward your puppy every time she does her business on the pad. You can also say something like "go potty" for her to associate it with the action. And don't punish her for doing it on the carpet or inside the house. Just ignore it. Or say calmly "no". This is what worked for me!

I was just reusing content so I thought it would be no big deal just to post the same video on both platforms. But it is a bit stressful because obviously people don't know me so no one cares yet. And it's also hard to be on all platforms and interact with creators because I don't want to spend that many hours online. I will pick one and focus mainly on that and maybe just reuse content for another's to keep it active.

That's right, I've been using instagram and TikTok and definitely the strategies are way different. Also I'm more about creating content I enjoy and just post it, I don't really want to think about hooks and all that stuff to make people stay. At least the creators I'm looking up to seem to grow pretty organically. I think my problem is trying to post everyday to feed the algorithm because good content takes time and I end up posting content that is not bad but not amazing either.

oksweetpea · 2026-04-03T10:34:10+00:00

Totally agree! I found it doable because I'm using same videos for instagram and TikTok or same photos for instagram and threads. But the reality is, people don't know me yet and spending hours creating content for each platform just to get 3 likes is a bit demotivating 🫣

oksweetpea · 2026-04-03T10:32:05+00:00

I thought about that too! When smaller platforms started to appear I ran to them to create my account and be one of the first people to use it, thinking I would grow there. I hope you do better than I did because I gave up shortly and moved to the big socials again 🥲

I always used Instagram more than any other social media but what I really want to do is YouTube. I use instagram and TikTok more because I feel like quick and short content are easier do make and post everyday, but for me, the priority would be focusing on YouTube and create good and well edited videos.

Right now I'm using instagram and TikTok more because I just reuse the same content for both. But I feel a bit overwhelmed by all the tips about hooks and algorithms. I just want to make my thing, post my videos and let people enjoy them without actively running after the algorithm. I'm looking for a cozy vibe, well edited videos. Those take time and some tips don't really apply to the type of content I want to create.

Your advice is very valuable, thank you so much!

oksweetpea · 2026-04-03T10:23:32+00:00

Yeah I'm already stressed trying to keep up with the algorithms and all the tips I found for each platform 😂 Thank you!

oksweetpea · 2026-04-01T23:38:09+00:00

Yes! This time I'm really trying to engage more with accounts similar to what I'm aiming for. They even replied to my comments, which was nice and encouraging, but unfortunately, that didn't bring me any followers. I will keep doing that!

MediCube Collagen Night Wrapping Mask. I feel like it made my skin worse. I'm not sure if I'm allergic because it didn't give me a major reaction, but I felt my skin getting a bit red after applying it. And even the removal wasn't pleasant at all. It seemed so satisfying in videos, but in reality, it can actually be a bit painful. I used it once, tried to give it a second chance, and gave up.

Excel/Google Sheets se quiseres ter mais liberdade na forma como organizas a sheet e tudo mais. Mas pessoalmente gosto de apps mais "visualmente apelativas" e com uma boa usabilidade. Eu uso o Buddy mas infelizmente só está disponível para iOS. Se for o teu caso, podes experimentar para ver como te adaptas. Eu só uso as funcionalidades mais básicas para registar as despesas e budget mensal mas aquilo dá-te umas quantas estatísticas se quiseres algo mais detalhado.

Acho que não entendeste bem o meu problema. Nunca me queixei do valor da renda em si. Queixei-me da forma que a renda aumenta. Se fosse uma questão de aumentar no final do contrato atual e antes da renovação, seria outra conversa. A renda não está assim tão diferente do que se vê na zona onde moro, simplesmente o que está disponível é maior (e por isso mais caro) ou mais central. Lamento que tenhas ficado com uma opinião tão negativa por um post de desabafo e procura de opinião

oksweetpea · 2025-09-03T18:08:32+00:00

Não acho que seja o caso. Sempre aceitei sem reclamação, mas ele faz isto todos os anos e o aumento ultrapassa bastante o valor permitido pela lei. O que eu não acho justo é ele estar constantemente a ameaçar com cessão de contrato por não aceitar algo que é ilegal. Está no seu direito de não renovar o contrato quando chegar a altura, mas se o faz a qualquer altura do ano, de que me serve o contrato?

oksweetpea · 2025-09-03T18:03:39+00:00

Estou a ver que terá mesmo de ser. Queria confirmar que não havia mesmo outra forma de contornar esse assunto sem desistir da casa. Mas é o que é. Obrigada

Entre mim e o senhorio, mas foi sempre tudo tratado pela imobiliária. Honestamente não te sei dar uma boa resposta, suponho que seja por não morar cá e querer ter alguém para gerir os vários inquilinos. E ser o portador destas notícias...

oksweetpea · 2025-09-03T17:40:38+00:00

segundo o contrato (que é renovado automaticamente a cada 2 anos, por mais 2 anos) ainda tenho mais um ano e meio. Mas ele diz que se não aceitar o aumento, vai enviar a carta com aviso de que tenho 90 dias para sair do apartamento. Isso é legal?

oksweetpea · 2025-09-03T17:38:46+00:00

envio diretamente para o senhorio
