Hello, everyone. So I've pretty much been disconnected from social media, like Instagram and Facebook for a while. I still use it a lot. I look at other people's account go through fun content, but I don't post a lot of stuff. More specifically, I haven't posted anything in over three years. It's not a very conscious decision that I had to remind myself every day. At some point I felt like, what was the whole point?

And then a Snapchat kind of everybody fell off of it and they went to Instagram because Instagram stole their feature and I never continued on there. Now I don't post anything personal unless I'm on Snapchat where I have about four followers and I know them really well. And I'll still document like if I go to a barbecue or a wedding or something like that, and I want to document a little bit and capture it and make a story

Hey, shares. So I'm interested in what you think about this. So as in because it wasn't posting and now you are. And it's an interesting concept that we are all a brand, even if we're not a brand brand and just a personal brand, as in just a person, whether they ever have a business or not, they can just basically branding themselves by what they post and what they share. It's true
I don't think I factor in a lot of these things about personal branding or how will this build up and make my timeline look a certain way? I think I'm just thinking most of the time just how comfortable am I sharing this? Am I okay with people knowing this about me? So I think that's what I think most of the time and probably where a little bit of my hesitancy also comes from. Let's see, as humans, we are evolving

Well, I use social media as my spare Google drive. I use Facebook as my spare Google drive, like, there are some images that I really don't want to lose. So I just posted on you spoke with some caption and I just let it be I don't need the likes or the comments or anything. I just need them there. So that after a few years, when I go around finding searching for those images, I can find it there. Instagram is a little bit different

I would reply, and she'd replied, and I'd reply to her stories. And then we'd get into conversations and we became friends and we kept in touch. And we're still friends all these years later. And the platform was small enough. She had millions of views on YouTube, but the platform was small enough and new enough for us to talk like this

I think it's good to just post anything that you want to, because if it's a private account, it shouldn't matter much. But I don't know. I think I'm going to be disconnected from social media, but I think posting due three deals per week can help you grow your follow account
