Hey Hunters, we wanted to open a discussion about "What could be improved about post authoring" in our social media favorite channels, glad if we can open the topic more broadly here, and hear your thought about it :)

@butafly Yes, exactly! This has been particularly important with my travel-related posts during the last two years :D

For me, social media posts are like a diary I can return to later :)

Tytti Sandström · Answer

Currently I only post to Instagram. Sometimes I want to share some of my experiences to friends and family. Sometimes my posts have a deeper meaning for myself, i might post a poem or a thought I have. So, I guess posting is kind of a social diary for me🤔

Personal branding is what comes to my mind. Personal branding is like building blocks that will lead you to success and help you in your future growth.

@tytti_sandstrom Interesting I like the "social poem" analogy

@maxwellcdavis To your point, I think people could start “Job Blogging” more about what they do and love about their work, because our work is a majority of our time anyway, I think the authenticity here will be much higher for them and their followers 🙂
