Organic social media
Most of your followers never see your organic posts to begin with!
You’re asking, “So why were you bothering with organic posts to promote your events in the first place?”
Actually, some followers will see your posts.
In fact, your biggest fans will see them, since they clicked on or engaged with your posts in the past and the algorithms look for that.
It’s also why organic social should be complemented with paid social.
Back to the point.
If followers actually saw every one of your posts, then it’s proper to consider whether you’re overburdening them.
They don’t see all of your posts, however, so there’s no need to fret over this.
LinkedIn posts
If we were creating a special issue of a magazine, then deciding on a theme is appropriate.
A food magazine might create a special holiday edition that’s full of holiday recipes.
An executive’s LinkedIn profile is not a self-contained magazine.
A magazine is read from beginning to end.
A series of LinkedIn posts, on the other hand, are consumed one by one, at different times of the month, if they’re even seen it all.
If the exec did use a theme, people wouldn’t notice.
Bringing it home
The lesson?
When making decisions like this, think less about how content should be organized and think more about how your audience will experience it.
Cheers,
-Dennis.

In the last issue, I wrote how tools like Microsoft Teams can be invasive.
Reader Ashley G replied, sharing an article from Basecamp CEO Jason Fried.
In "The Presence Prison," Jason writes:
"As a general rule, nobody at Basecamp really knows where anyone else is at any given moment. Are they working? Dunno. Are they taking a break? Dunno. Are they at lunch? Dunno. Are they picking up their kid from school? Dunno. Don’t care.
The vast majority of the time, it just doesn’t matter."
Two thumbs up for this.
And thanks for sharing, Ashley!

What Marketers Get Wrong Corner

Why do people perform certain actions?
Don't ask a marketer, because they'll get it wrong! 😜
Marketers think users perform actions for one reason, but when you ask users, they say it's for a different reason.
