3. Post What Resonates
Test different content formats (reels, video clips, photos) and observe what your audience engages with. Once you identify what works, double down on that style or format.
4. Quantity Beats Perfection
Don’t overthink. Done is better than perfect. Viral content often isn’t technically perfect—it’s relatable and real. Use your phone, keep it casual, and focus on speed and regularity.
