I think its ok to promote stuff, especially if you can relate it to what your audience already desires... A tough needle to thread sometimes. In the video - an oldie but great-y - the idea of 'telling a story" - telling your story - giving the person who is looking at your posts a glimpse of who you are and what you want to share that is helpful to THEM is the trick. Plus, good old fashioned entertaining and interesting pictures is also always cool - did you see the 'lobster on my driveway pic" on my wall?
Loved that video, Claudine. Thanks for sharing. I'm guilty of working WAY too hard to create content for social media. I usually get tired of making the thing and then never post it. 😂I've also been, perhaps "wrongly," using my Instagram to try to promote stuff. Substack, etc. But maybe that's not the right move on that particular platform. Good stuff to think about. :-)
