Something I’m passionate about currently is the idea of treating your social media (personal or business) as standalone series.
Think Netflix vs random one-off posts. You’re content should be broken up into separate reoccurring series.
Allow me show you a peak behind the curtain of my personal social media series (not on LinkedIn).
Currently, I have the following series:
๐ Morning Walk and Talks (philosophizing about life)
๐ Skateboarding (40+ year old relearning how to skateboard)
๐ Running (My goal to run 100 runs per year)
๐ Dine out (come with me to restaurant)
๐ Business / Marketing (tips, tactics, trends, behind-the-scenes)
๐ Travel & Adventure (come with me to destination)
๐ Movie Pitch Monday (me pitching hypothetical movie ideas)
Once any of these gain enough traction, I can create a separate account for just that content.
If the series doesn’t get traction, I change the editing style, voice over, audio, pacing / length… and try again. If still no engagement, I stop posting about it.
Each series could have an arc or continuity, or they could be episodic (standalone).
๐ Notice that in none of my series am I directly selling. But am I indirectly selling a personality, a lifestyle, a set of values, an identity people want to be part of?
