That’s it! I’m going rogue I’ve been struggling on LinkedIn lately… ⏰ Investing time into the platform isn’t reaping the rewards it used to 💀 I’m churning out specialised content, just for it to die a death once posted 🤖 And good creators are being drowned out by AI & copycat posts So I’m losing motivation to be present on here, because it feels like I’m running up a downwards escalator 🥲 Last year content creation felt so much easier & more rewarding And every “guru” will tell you NoT tO bLaMe tHe aLgOriThM But I looked at my Shield analytics (thanks Roundtable) and my impressions are HALF what they were last year 👉 Similar post amount 👉 Similar reaction numbers (with comment numbers not far behind) 👉 But HALF the impressions The algorithm IS different And LI just isn’t pushing my content how it used to But that justification doesn’t ✨solve✨ the problem… So last weeks Roundtable - The Private Community of Founders session was about losing motivation on LI To get advice from different perspectives & move forward The suggestions were: 🌻 Only post things you enjoy creating/feel like posting for a bit - the aim is to fall in love with it again 🌻 Try posting more video content - this is starting to get pushed 🌻 Fully let go of how impressions used to be 🌻 Build a LI feed that only contains the creators whose content you enjoy So I’m taking all this on board & sales strategy is taking a backseat for a hot minute 👋 Welcome to fu<k it week, mofos! #Partnership #ProfessionalWithPersonality ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• I’m Bethany 💁🏻♀️ Founder of BeBeau Creative 🌻 & The Bloomin' BizAbled Cult 🌼 I design & create brands that explode with personality ✨ for neurodivergent, chronically ill & disabled biz owners Pick My Brain 🧠 £99 Visual Identity Fast Track 🔥 £249 Full Biz / Brand Identity 📒 ££££ (DM to discuss) Messy to Magnetic 🧲 £1,999 (3 month programme) The Bloomin' BizAbled Cult 🌼 £14.99 (per month) 👩🎤 BE alternative so there is NO alternative! 👩🎤

I think content creators put a lot of pressure on themselves to constantly out perform their past work. I actually think strategic commenting can reboot your algorithm. Commenting on your own posts for example increases your visibility within your own network. Commenting on posts within your network increases your visability within your network and that connections network. But commenting outside your network will gain you the most visibility And this will have a knock on effect on who the algorithm throws out your content to.
I think I need to send you the "F*ck It" book - should suit your mood suitably.
I feel you on this and after being in hospital on Friday 🫠 and a new diagnosis to process I was thinking I really need to be around other business owners who get what it’s like to have a functioning brain and failing body as it’s tough Energy is our most precious resource and if it’s going down the drain we don’t get a top up 🔋 Anyway how amazing that there’s a space to be with people who get it Bethany Jewkes Who don’t look down on us for writing ✍️ in our PJ’s with an a random 80’s desperately seeking Susan style hair do and lots of coffee Thanks for creating that space and being you 🌻
Don't worry Bethany Jewkes we are all suffering. This is why I always say to focus on your email list.😀
I feel this - it was way easier last year, esp with inbound. I hear this from other creators too...
I totally get where you’re coming from. Sometimes stepping back and rediscovering why you started can reignite that motivation.
