Episode notes
Pick A Hero Platform And Syndicate
- Focus on one "hero" platform for your main attention while using automation to post everywhere else.
- Use tools like Vubli to remove friction so you can scale presence without burning out.
Schedulers Don't Kill Reach
- Third-party schedulers generally do not reduce reach now and may increase consistency-driven exposure.
- Lack of engagement after scheduled posts, not the scheduler itself, is what can hurt distribution.
Automate Metadata And Uploads
- Remove friction from distribution by uploading once and letting a tool handle platform-specific metadata and uploads.
- Automate titles, descriptions, thumbnails, and tags to maintain consistency and frequency.
