See ya later IG✌🏼
Content creation is a full time job & I simply cannot keep up. The strategy, research, and curation that tasks a content creator is overwhelming and time consuming. Posting daily, multiple times a day, even on schedule is tricky. With a 9-5 job, I have dismissed many posting “deadlines” (set by myself or should i say the algorithm lol).
As many of you know, I accepted a job in my field of education near the end of 2021. I have been working away, coming home tired, spending my “off time” hustling to sustain my small businesses presence on social media. Shooting products, editing photos, planning content, creating stories, creating reels, caption creation, hashtag research, audio research, the list goes on.
Besides working 24/7, hustle culture is not ok🙄, the algorithm hustles 10x harder to isolate you. Fighting with numbers, exposure, follows/unfollows, etc is tiring. I have lost the goals of this page to the algorithm. I have struggled to post what i want versus what the algorithm favours.
I am all about boundaries and I have begun to cross my own. Sometimes people will tell you, “when you know, you know.” Lets just say, I know.
I also want to put 100% into what I do and I am at a stage in my life where that 100% is going into my career.
Its time to say See you later Instagram. I have loved this community, the connections, and the friendships. I will leave the page open for future customers to see past makes, view reels of products, and care instructions.
Etsy is staying for a little while (as long as I enjoy the crochet process). Make sure to favourite my shop to get updates/notifications!! 💗💗💗
