Absolutely not. Each platform serves a unique psychological need—posting identically across all reduces reach by 60% (Buffer, 2024). Tailor your platform-specific content to how users behave on each app, not how you wish they would.
Struggling with repurposing content? If cross-posting feels efficient but drives zero engagement, you’re violating platform psychology. Remember to adjust your content to align it as platform-specific content with what audiences actually crave in 2024.
Why This Matters
Algorithms reward platform-specific content that matches native user intent (e.g., TikTok = quick entertainment/education, LinkedIn = professional insights). Misalignment = invisibility.
3 Platform Rules for 2024
1. TikTok = “Edutainment” or Bust
- Do: 7–15 sec hooks showing quick transformations (e.g., “Watch me fix this landing page in 20 sec”).
- Avoid: Static photos, sales pitches.
- Data: 92% of users want “learning disguised as fun” (TikTok Trends Report).
2. Instagram = Relatable Micro-Stories
- Do: Series of 2–4 connected Reels/Stories showing a full narrative arc (Problem → Struggle → Win).
- Avoid: Over-polished aesthetics; raw > perfect.
- Example: Day 1: “Why this client panicked” → Day 3: “How we solved it” → Day 5: Their testimonial.
3. Facebook = Community-First Conversations
- Do: Polls in Groups, LIVE Q&As, carousels with discussion prompts (e.g., “Which solution would YOU try?”).
- Avoid: Broadcast-mode posts; prioritize comments > likes.
BONUS: LinkedIn = Opportunity-Driven
- Do: Data-driven case studies (“How we grew X by 200%”).
- Hook Formula: “Stop wasting time on [common tactic]. Here’s what [industry] leaders do instead.”
