Crossposting makes sense. But cross engagement? If you’re only posting for reach, why be on a social platform in the first place? Therefore I was never a big fan of crossposting, but I get people who take advantage of it.
I now believe that cross-posting is a good thing. Photos, as one example, are frequently cross-posted to both Instagram and Facebook. Tweets can be sent to Twitter as well as our own blogs. Years from now you end up with an archive of all your short-form writing at your own domain by default. souce: Cross-posting
Not knowing what to write about is probably one of the most common blogging struggles. Believing you have nothing interesting to say.
Stories hiding in plain sight
Aside from the well known affects of dopamine hits from social media, I was most definitely using social media, specifically IG, to buffer and distract me from feeling any kind of uncomfortable feelings and/or anxiety.
I wouldn’t formulate my decision to post here quite so dramatically. Nevertheless, nostalgically looking at the time before algorithms 👀.
