5 Reasons Why Social Media Sucks

Happy Monday team. If last week didn't work out well for you, let's start fresh with a new week, a new mindset and new opportunities. And I get it... Social media sucks. I don't think I've ever met an artist who is like "I LOVE SOCIAL MEDIA" It just isn't a thing. But you do have artists who understand the power of it, understand that sadly it's a necessity in 2024 and how you can use it to your advantage. Here's 5 reasons why social media sucks... 1. There is ENDLESS competition for content saying “I have a new song”.  However, with a lot of competition comes a potential of a huge audience, whilst it’s noisy out there, it’s also never been easier to find your audience. 2.  There is a lot of pressure to constantly create and it can cause burnout.  This is a problem to be solved, batching content or coming up with easy-to-repeat formats makes this easier as it takes out the anxiety of overthinking. 3.  Algorithms are constantly changing.  But by understanding how they work on a psychological basis outside, you stand a better chance at getting heard.  4. Social media opens the door to keyboard warriors who hide behind anonymity. Harsh comments and trolls can hurt, and dealing with them is never easy.  Always remember that they’re unhappy with their own life and it isn’t a reflection on you. 5.  It can give a false illusion of success making you feel like you’re not achieving enough.  Try and realize this is fake, success isn’t about likes and followers, it’s about real emotional connection. I hope you have a great day and a great week ahead. Check your inboxes for an email from me tomorrow as I have a new YouTube video coming out.
