So your content was growing. Fast. Then… nothing. Views flatlined, follows stalled, and videos that used to pop now barely ripple. Welcome to the growth plateau. Every creator hits it—but not every creator knows how to climb out.
If your social feed is your storefront, your pinned posts are the display window. They're the first thing people see when they visit your profile—and in a world where attention spans are short, you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression.
Keep experimenting. Keep watching what works. And eventually, your post timing becomes just as intentional as the content itself.

This isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being aware. You’ll get better with every post, every graph, every “ugh, they dropped off again” moment. Just keep asking: when would you scroll? And fix that part.
