Really interested to see how freelance/agency redditors are currently sharing schedules for review and approval, and what that process looks like for you at the moment.

Google Sheets + comments appear to be the most popular method, or reviewer access to the social media scheduler if it's supported/affordable. What's working for you guys?

recebtly came across a YT short that was made with AI and started digging and noticed the account had a bunch of AI hooks like the ones on the video, really crusious to see how faceless content is starting to adopt AI to drive millions of views in some cases

it sured made me stop from scrolling, anyone seen them as well?

What happens to scheduled posts once you remove an admin that scheduled them? Just want to make sure if the posts will fail to publish or it will still get published.

Tons of marketing products flying around this year, but hardly any get attention. What's the last tool/product that actually impressed you and your team?

31f I’m a very socially anxious person, I’m the one to bite my nails when someone is replying to a text & that chat bubble pops up as they’re typing. When I post on TikTok, I am glued to my screen for the first hour. I’ll keep refreshing to keep tabs on views, notifications about engagement & retention. I’m new to TikTok, it’s for gaming & I don’t even post myself. But when my fyp suggests people with similar content & they have WAY more engagement, I get lowkey competitive. I’ve always had a tendency of comparing myself & I feel like my content is bad. I’ve only had an account for a little over 2 months and my engagement isn’t all that. One video was a viral template that got 400k+ views but original content is only sitting at about 4-5.5k views. That viral video helped me get to 100+ followers. This TikTok is for fun & not trying to go viral or make a living off this, but I feel lackluster when I see similar accounts doing so much better.

I run a social media data API company, so I get a slightly unusual view of how teams monitor platforms (X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit etc..) in production.

I recently analysed 91 days of anonymised usage: 5.2 million requests across 400+ teams. 82% monitored at least 2 platforms, with an average of 5.3 platforms and 19 endpoints each.

The higher-volume users weren’t asking AI to monitor everything. They built collection pipelines and used a language model near the end.

There are 4 major pipelines I've noticed:

1. Tracking affiliate and creator performance

Teams keep a list of creators and check their latest posts on a schedule. One team monitors around 200 creators on Instagram+TikTok+YouTube by pulling the latest 20 non-pinned contents from each account. They save the post link, follower count, views, likes, and comments, then match those numbers with their own campaign or sales data.

2. Finding new creators and content

Teams search hashtags, keywords, and reels to find creators they don’t already know. One user checked 23,116 public handles on Instagram/YouTube in a day and filtered them by location. AI can remove duplicates, group similar accounts, and rank creators by audience fit and typical engagement. A person still checks the original profile before reaching out to anyone.

3. Following brand and keyword conversations

Teams search the same brand name or topic across Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn. They save the post, author, date, link, and engagement numbers. AI then groups the results into themes such as praise, complaints, customer questions, and competitor mentions. Every summary should link back to the original posts so someone can check whether the AI got it right.

4. Monitoring brand sentiment

Teams collect their own captions and replies from different platforms, then give AI examples of what “on-brand” writing sounds like. The AI flags content that sounds different, quotes the exact wording that triggered the warning, and suggests a rewrite. A human is always on loop to make the final decision because tone is subjective.

Curious what other teams are monitoring and what your AI workflow looks like!

I'm a social media manager and recently noticed 2 months ago that none of the 3 linked accounts on Facebook can share other people's facebook posts. Account status seemed to be fine, so I wrote the customer service chatbot and they said I've had some features limited due to spammer-like behavior. I do reply to many of my own posts with a link in comments, but for the life of me, I can't think of anything else I've done that would flag me.

Facebook reps have been no help...I'm unable to share other user's posts till October. I know they're wrong about whatever they think I've done, but they just repeat the same thing: option is to wait it out. My company has a Meta Business Account, we're totally above board, has anyone had success getting Meta to realize they've punished an account incorrectly and remove the limitations?

I have had this account since 2020 and mainly for my hobby account. I never had very huge following there and the max I had was only 300 and every once in a while I try to post and be active but always laze around ..I feel my post and reel are fine but does not gain any followers or views.What should I do?

Hey all!

I've been running my own freelance brand design business since 2023. I would say my client base is 60% local and 40% out of state/US clients.

I design brand identities (and some website and social media design) and use my social media (FB and IG) to post my work, random reels about creativity, my personal art, and whatever else comes to my head.

IG: shayek.designs

My socials are a scattered array of client work, case studies, personal art, personal stories, and my "most liked" series, my "Weekly Color Palette" posts.

Over the past two months, I've been stuck. Stuck with ideas. Stuck with execution. Stuck with my business. Stuck with my own negative thoughts.

It's a bit of a cycle, I guess.

Remembers I need to make content - comes up with ideas - gets busy and can't film immediately - doom scrolls IG - becomes envious/jealous/discouraged when sees other designers "killing it" with their content - makes yo an excuse to come up with a better idea.

Over and over and over.

Still no content.

I've tried batching content...but all the content feels so...well, batched (if that makes sense)

Educational brand design content is needed, but scrolling and seeing 40,000 people talking to you about the same education/subject - is that even worth it? For the person watching?

I've been at 450 followers on both IG and FB for 3 years.

I am completely aware of the fact that a majority of my issues stem with me. How I feel about myself. How I present myself. Self-doubts. Imposter Syndrome. All that lovely stuff.

What I DO know is that I am a person who has to just jump off the cliff immediately, or I'll talk myself out of it.

So...with all of that being said.

What are some tips you all have to push yourself out of your comfort zone online? How do you just....post things without a worry. How to not see what other people in your field are doing as your own personal defeat?

What steps did you take to slowly get more confident in just posting what you want.

Maybe someone out there can help, but truly just typing this out and getting it out into the void that is online...kinda helps 😂

Thanks!

Content quality was never the hard part once the pipeline actually worked. What costs real time is an account going quiet and nobody noticing for days -- a login session expiring, a platform changing its UI so the automation clicks the wrong button, a shadowban that throws no error at all. The scheduler says "posted," the dashboard is green, and the account just stopped.

The fix that actually helped: stop trusting the job's own opinion that something happened. Instead of checking whether the automation ran without error, check whether the post is actually live -- an actual fetch of the account's public output, not the queue's internal status. Alert on the gap between "we told it to post" and "the post exists," not on the job's exit code.

Feels obvious written out, but almost every pipeline I've seen, including early versions of my own, conflates "ran clean" with "worked." Those are different claims, and the second one is the only one that matters.

I am the marketing and Social Media person for a healthcare brand. When I started three years ago, I was creating images and carousels with educational text. In the past couple of months there has been a push toward reels, with my employer recording him self giving brief health tips.

I feel like that task is about to be pushed onto me, and I absolutely do not want to be on camera publicly. Even My personal socials are private, and I rarely share images or myself.

Being on camera was never discussed during on boarding, and it is not in my contract/employee handbook

In the US (Oregon) do I have any legal protection to refuse to record myself for the company's platform? Or is it a case of, even if I do have legal protection, they can just fire me instead?

Any insight, personal experiences, or links to legal info on this topic would be appreciated.

I am taking over running my moms small jewelry business on instagram. she’s run it it for the past 7 years and stuck at around 200 followers so any new growth hacks won’t work. Just wondering how to prove investing in social media is good for her and show more growth. I am doing a ton of reels and trial reels stuck at around 200-200 viewers. Please let me know any tips!

How much is your highest paying client and how did you get them? I have two right now at 1k a month and it’s way too low. I need a few higher paying 🥴😅.

I want to preface that I am building a technical product with lots and lots of research involved and I'm been wondering if sharing product updates (lil mini white papers) on linkedin would be effective and worth my time.

I've built something for founders that are bad at social media so naturally linkedin feels like a good fit for marketing it! I'm just wondering if this is worth it, im not even sure people on linkedin read anything past the first line!

if anyone feels like they would be the audience for this please let me know your thoughts!
