Difficulties with declining opportunities are another way Imposter Syndrome can rear its head for content creators.

If it's not a good fit, it's ok to decline politely.

It's better for us & for the potential partner.

We content creators often need to be reminded that "new and different" is not always better. ⬇️

Interesting read, Lisa! Seems like it's come full circle. 😀

Tim Krywulak @mytogblog.com · 1d

What are you doing to adapt to the evolving social media landscape these days?

Tim Krywulak @mytogblog.com · 1d

I feel like there's a bit of a disconnect between 1 and 2, because creating content that's authentic to me often means talking about the full range of things I'm engaged with.

So I'm working more on number three, as I think it can be a powerful one on its own.

3. Community building should be the goal for our engagement strategies.

When we do make a connection—whether it's through comments on our posts, Stories, DMs, etc.—we need to nurture that lead.

That pull can be a key differentiator in a world of content push.

Tim Krywulak @mytogblog.com · 1d

2. Tighter messaging and more consistent content formats are key.

If algorithms are going to push our content out based on "interest," not followers, we've got to be even clearer about who our content is for and who would like to see it in the way we deliver it.

Tim Krywulak @mytogblog.com · 1d

1. Authenticity is more important than ever

As small businesses or individual creators, we cannot possibly win on volume against high-end traditional media or AI content farms.

But we can win by being ourselves and building relationships.

What does this mean for brands and content creators?

I've got three ideas I've gleaned from today's sessions.

Tim Krywulak @mytogblog.com · 1d

My takeaway from Day 2 at the ManyChat Summit:

The battle to keep the "social" in social media.

With the dominance of "interest" over social-based algorithms combined with the sheer volume of advertising and AI Slop in public spaces, users are retreating to private communities and conversations.

Tim Krywulak @mytogblog.com · 2d

Lots of great ideas shared at today's ManyChat Summit.

A big theme has been the power of one:

- 1 idea per post
- 1 ideal customer
- 1 specific goal
- 1 overarching strategy

Can you describe this for your main social media account?

Tim Krywulak @mytogblog.com · 2d

Thanks for sharing this, Lisa. It's an important part of managing an IG account, but the way that's set up doesn't make it easy.

In my experience, the best approach is downloading the info and working it out outside of any connected apps.

Tim Krywulak @mytogblog.com · 2d

Looking forward to the ManyChat summit today. 😀

Fall colours in full swing during my walk on campus today.

Sometimes the key to this conistency thing with content creation is just noticing things more and being open to sharing that.

This is one of the best design "hacks:" Finding something funny in an unrelated niche, and respinning it for your niche in an original way.

Tim Krywulak @mytogblog.com · 7d

I thought this one was funny 😂

I suppose it could be "cozy" anything season.

Tim Krywulak @mytogblog.com · 8d

I wondered where those came from. 😂

Tim Krywulak @mytogblog.com · 8d

I prefer to share the questions ahead of time, because I want the guest to have the opportunity to provide a well-considered response.

It's not a gotcha kind of show. 😉

Plus, I want my guests to feel comfortable, as I believe that's what ultimately leads to the best discussions.

Tim Krywulak @mytogblog.com · 8d

I don't exclusively use AI for interview questions, but I find it helpful in generating different options and formats.

There's no reason to shy away from this, especially when combining it with your own research/experience and guest input.

Tim Krywulak @mytogblog.com · 8d

Each step in the process is important, but the first two are especially so.

If you don't know your guest or don't have a defined "angle" for the show, it's harder to have a good conversation that "works" as a cohesive whole.

Tim Krywulak @mytogblog.com · 8d

How to craft the best questions for podcast interviews?

I use five steps:

1. Research guest
2. Brainstorming a topic angle
3. Generate question options with AI
4. Combine the above with my own experience
5. Collect guest input/approval
