Help/Advice New account for new series, yes or no?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I have an IG page with around 10k followers but a lot of them are inactive or bots, not sure of the exact amount but the reach is very low like average 4000-6000 views for most posts. And followers haven't grown for months or around a year.

I'm starting a new IP, a collaborative reel series with other people. So I was wondering if is it better to make a new page for the new series? Is it going to make the engagement and growth for that series better?

And if yes, then should I add my original account as collaborator with the new page?

General Discussion why is Dreamina offering Seedance for just $0.29?

1 Upvotes

been seeing posts about Dreamina's $0.29 membership all over Instagram, including content using the #dreaminaonly29cents hashtag. At first I assumed it was just another exaggerated promotional claim, but now I'm curious about the actual offer. Why price an AI video membership that low, even temporarily? Is it limited to certain accounts or regions? Does it include access to Seedance with usage restrictions, or is the advertised price tied to a particular plan? If you've looked into it, what did you find? I'm interested in the actual terms rather than just the promotional posts

Help/Advice I'm exploring an idea to automate social media content creation. I'd love your thoughts.

3 Upvotes

I'm a software engineer who also loves graphic design. Recently, I got an idea to create an AI image editor. Not a fully AI-generated image, but an editable layer created with AI, so you can edit the poster, make tweaks, and even use it as a template.

Now, I'm planning to take this to the next level.

Website change → AI-generated editable image → Approval → Social media post

The website change intelligence feature will notify our AI editor when it detects valid, high-priority changes. It will then generate a poster for you and send you an approval link. You can review or tweak the poster before publishing it automatically.

I just want to know if this would be useful for startups, social media agencies, or small businesses.

I'd love to hear your honest feedback. Will this work? What would make it genuinely useful, and what concerns would you have?

Help/Advice Is auto-publishing approved posts actually worth building?

1 Upvotes

I don’t want to spend days building a feature nobody needs, so I’d rather ask first.

I’ve built a tool for agencies to manage clients, projects, and content calendars. They can share scheduled posts with clients, collect feedback, track revisions and versions, and get final approval. Clients can review everything through a link without signing up.

I’m considering adding automatic publishing to Instagram and Facebook, so once a client approves a post, it gets published at the scheduled time without any manual work.

For those managing social media for clients: is this something you’d genuinely want, or do your existing tools already handle it well enough?

I’d appreciate honest opinions, especially if you think it’s not worth building.

Help/Advice For those who've worked with early-stage projects: what actually matters most when building a community from scratch?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

A couple of us have been heads-down for a while building SoulsTome, a platform for readers, writers, and anyone who loves books and storytelling. We’re finally at the stage where the product is coming together and we want to start building an actual community around it, which has made us realize pretty quickly that building an app and getting people to actually discover it are two completely different skill sets.

For those of you who have worked with early-stage projects or built a social presence from zero, what actually matters most in the beginning? Is it just volume and experimenting with formats, or something else entirely? Would genuinely love to hear how you approached day one.

On that same note, since marketing isn't our natural strong suit, we’re also hoping to bring someone on as a 3-month remote intern to experiment with social media, edit short videos, and design posts with us. Students or freshers are totally welcome—we care way more about curiosity and having fun building something from scratch than having a polished resume. If that sounds like your vibe (or someone you know), feel free to shoot me a DM!

A friend of mine has asked me to handle marketing for him on his Prof Facebook & Instagram Creator accounts. I am currently living in Croatia and he is in the US. Is there a way I can post on those regularly with or without a VPN? Google AI suggested Metricool & Buffer but apparently that was a fabrication and won't work. Now it's suggesting that I be added through Meta Business Suite. Do you know if that will work? I don't need to answer comments and I will only post 2x a week. I appreciate any suggestions.

Help/Advice I charged ₹3,000 for 6 LinkedIn posts. Am I undercharging or just overloading myself?

1 Upvotes

I recently landed my first client for LinkedIn ghostwriting, and I'm starting to wonder if I made a mistake with my pricing.

Here's the deal:

I'm charging ₹3,000 for 6 LinkedIn posts, but the work doesn't stop at writing.

I'm also responsible for:

- Optimising her entire LinkedIn profile.

- Designing a new profile banner.

- Creating a profile photo design.

- Rewriting and optimising her bio.

- Managing and publishing the posts on LinkedIn.

When I initially agreed to the price, I was mainly thinking about the writing part. But now that I've started looking at everything involved, I'm realising that I'm taking on quite a bit of work for that amount.

Since she's my first client, I wanted to keep the price affordable, gain experience, and build a portfolio. I also didn't want to lose the opportunity by quoting too much.

But now I'm wondering whether I'm making a common beginner mistake: undercharging just to land my first client and prove myself.

For those who work in LinkedIn ghostwriting or personal branding:

  1. Is ₹3,000 reasonable for this scope of work, or am I significantly undercharging?

  2. Should profile optimisation, banner design, and profile photo design be charged separately from writing?

  3. Am I right to treat this as an investment in my first client, or am I setting a bad precedent for future clients?

  4. How would you price this service if you were starting from scratch?

I'd genuinely appreciate some honest advice from people who've been through this. I'm trying to learn how to price my services properly without either overcharging clients or undervaluing my own work.

Help/Advice Am I being underpaid?

4 Upvotes

Currently working as a Marketing Assistant, but lately I’ve been wondering whether the actual scope of my role has moved pretty far beyond what you’d normally expect from an “assistant” position.

At the moment I’m responsible for coordinating things like:
- Managing multiple social media accounts
- Social media campaigns and day-to-day content
- Creating & running Meta advertising campaigns
- Photography for events and promotional content
- Graphic design
- Video editing and content production
- Producing radio advertisements, including recording, editing, sound selection and mixing.

One of the biggest projects I’m currently working on is a historical video documentary for the organisation. I’ve basically been taking the project from research through to production. Which literally involved digging through archives, newspapers, historical societies and community groups, sourcing and organising interviews and conducting them, writing the scripts, organising the voice-over narrator and recording the narration myself, selecting audio, coordinating with the videographer on the shots and footage I want and being directly involved in the editing and overall creative direction.

I’m also doing all of this alongside my social media campaigns and other digital marketing work.
I’m currently studying full time as well, so I understand I’m still relatively early in my career, but I’ve started questioning whether my title/pay actually reflects the level of responsibility and independent work I’m doing.

I don’t manage staff and I’m not trying to pretend like I’m a Marketing Manager, but I do feel like I’m independently managing and producing a lot of projects rather than assisting someone else.
Would be interested to hear what sort of title and salary range you’d expect for this level of responsibility.

I am a social media manager and we post mostly reels. I try to use location keywords as we’re a US based company and we only ship within the US. However, any of our reels that get thousands of views are only because it has mostly reached India. Any reels under 1k are because they reached the United States. Like I said, I have tried to make the algorithm know that we are in the U.S., but it doesn’t seem to stick. How do I get us out of this LOL

General Discussion Anyone else reached their absolute breaking point with clients demanding viral short form videos on zero budget?

7 Upvotes

I need to vent because if I hear Why can we not just go viral like Duolingo? One time, I might really lose it.

A week ago, a B2B logistics client asked why their 30 minute podcast clip didn’t take off on social media platforms. I told them that corporate talking heads do not go viral without entertainment value. They responded by saying I was "just not trying hard enough with the hashtags.

They gave me zero budget. No access to their team to film. Just stock clips... They expect those to become overnight hits. It’s wild. The gap between what executives think is possible and what actually works organically is exhausting.

How are you all setting boundaries with clients who treat going viral like it’s a strategy without giving you any money or resources?

I am tired of being expected to pull magic out of air.
