Why I Quit Growth Hacks On Social Media

Growth hacks are exhausting. I spent almost a year trying to grow on LinkedIn. All gurus’ advice felt daunting: Post twice a day Comment for 1 hour Don’t schedule your posts Like and repost your own posts Use carousels, selfies, and video I tried almost all of the hacks, except for the selfies. I wasted my best hours pleasing the algorithm. Recently, I logged into LinkedIn after a week. I’ve started using social media mindfully. And one of my posts got above-average impressions, with no hacks. I noticed the same after a week off social media. Publish ideas worth resharing and connect organically. Good ideas stand on their own. No hacks needed.
