Nobody cares! Nobody's listening. You'll never stand out.
Your social media SUCKS! (And it's not going to get any better...)
Catch your attention? GOOD! That proves my next point.
IF you want to stand out on social media, you have to capture attention.
Now, it's time to let you off the hook.
It's not your fault that your posts aren't getting attention.
You have so much to compete with, like boobs, butts, and all the other "Feel Good" "Pleasure" content.
Here's some insight that can help.
If you scroll through your feed on any given day, you've DEFINITELY seen WAY more boobs & butts than real DEEP transformational content.
Why is that?
I can talk about the mysterious "ALGORITHM"... but even that boils down to ONE thing... What KEEPS people on a platform? (Because platforms make money by having people stick around.)
Whatever catches attention, and what catches attention? PLEASURE.
WHY? Because that's how the brain is wired.
So how do you STAND OUT?
USE something more important to the mind than pleasure...
PAIN. The brain is wired to AVOID pain before it is wired to SEEK pleasure.
AVOIDING PAIN keeps us alive. PLEASURE is what I call "PROCREATION MOTIVATION".
So hitting the pain first catches people's attention, then you relieve some pain, then compassion, offer some guidance, then wrap it up with a CTA, usually something to build goodwill (NOT A SALE).
If you enjoyed this, LIKE, and drop a comment to let me know what you got from this, and if you want more tips like this, right here n the community.
Here's another example using the same format I used for this post:
Headline:
"Lost in a Sea of Likes? Your Voice is Drowning!"
Pain:
STOP Screaming Into A Tidal Wave!
Picture this: you're posting, scrolling, liking - doing all the things everyone says you should do on social media. But it's like you're invisible.
You're content is drowning in the flood of perfect selfies, hilarious videos, and endless feel-good content, your posts just don't seem to matter.
It's like you're yelling in a crowded room where everyone's too busy to listen.
Relief from Guilt:
It's not your fault! It's not because you're not good enough or your content isn't cool.
The problem isn't you, it's the game. Don't beat yourself up.
Social media's all about what's flashy and easy, not necessarily what's real or important.
You're not alone in this. It's a tough game for everyone who's trying to be genuine.
Compassion:
I get it. You've tried all the trends, used all the hashtags, followed all the advice.
But when your post just gets a few likes while others get thousands, it's super frustrating.
You start to wonder if it's even worth it. So you keep starting over, trying another thing, and never gain any traction.
Guidance:
Here's something that might help: Start telling your story, your real story.
Talk about the struggles, the not-so-perfect days, the real-life stuff that we all go through but nobody shows.
Be the voice that says what everyone's thinking but too scared to share. That's one way to cut through the noise.
CTA:
Feeling stuck in the social media maze? Let's work it out together.
Share this with anyone who's also looking for a way to stand out for real.
Summary:
This approach is more than just about getting noticed. It's about making real connections, building a community that cares.
When you're genuine, people see it, and that's how you build trust and loyalty.
You're not just another post in their feed; you're a friend, a confidant, a real voice in a virtual world.
(P.S. This tip came from a conversation with on how to create content that people want to see on her social media. So, you all can go thank her for bringing this up.)
