Why Your Social Media Posts Aren’t Getting Seen (and How to Fix It)
You’ve put time into a post, hit publish, and… crickets. No likes, no comments, barely a view. Sound familiar? Don’t worry, it’s not just you. Let’s break down the main reasons why posts flop and what to do about it.
1. The Algorithm Isn’t Feeling You
Social platforms want engagement. If your post doesn’t grab attention in the first hour, the algorithm stops pushing it. Solution? Start strong with hooks: questions, bold statements, or eye-catching visuals.
2. It’s All Sales, No Fun
If every post is “Buy now!” people will tune out. Social media is for connection first, selling second. Think stories, tips, or behind-the-scenes sprinkled with offers.
3. Wrong Timing
Post when your audience is actually online. For many small businesses, that’s early morning, lunch, or evenings. Experiment and check your insights.
4. You’re Inconsistent
Posting once and disappearing for a month kills reach. Platforms reward accounts that show up regularly.
My Take
The fix is simple: create content people want to see, post consistently, and play nice with the algorithm. If that sounds like too much work, that’s where I step in.
