๐FOR THE RECORD๐
There's so many social media myths and misconceptions are there. But here's my top 3:

โ Nope. Consistency is key, but earlier this year it was announced that the prime amount to post on your Instagram grid is 3 - 5 times per week. So, use your insights, find out when your audience are online and post smart; utilise stories and don't bombard your feed!
2. ๐๐จ๐ฎ ๐ง๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ ๐จ๐ง ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐ ๐ฌ๐จ๐๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐๐๐ข๐ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ
โJust because I can name a lot of social networks, it doesn't mean I should set up a profile on all of them. By all means, research other social networks. Set up a company profile or page and give 'em a try. The best marketers use data to identify which marketing activities yield the best results โ if a social network isn't helping you out, cut it loose.

โNO. Under no circumstances is this going to work. The new algorithm worships engagement. Don't just shout information at your audience, TALK to them. Make those relationships. Get those sales. Plus, how can you have reactive content if it's all been scheduled in advance?
