Where Have I Been? Laying Out the Full Truth!

Hey guys, it’s been a while! Where has she been, you may ask. Well, I don’t even know but let me try to break it down.

Well, physically, I’m usually working my 9-5 pm job and creating content on the side for my social media platforms. However, although I’ve been in my most consistent phase with my platforms, it’s also been going downhill for a minute.

Although nervous to share this with the world, maybe it’s finally time to fully open up to you guys. I used to be so excited to write blogs about my fashion and lifestyle experiences. I had so much content to present to the world, but later, I gradually felt there wasn’t any need to share them anymore because Instagram just wouldn’t let me.

My blog is mostly about personal style and self-development. With that in mind, I decided that I would use Instagram as the main platform to help me reach more audience. I created a new creator account to keep things entirely professional, only to now feel so lost.

Recently, I’ve found myself caught in this whirlpool of Instagram’s algorithmic challenges. Despite my best efforts to create meaningful content and engage with my audience, I’ve felt the frustration of fluctuating reach and diminishing visibility. It’s a disheartening experience, to say the least, when your hard work seems to disappear into the vast abyss of the algorithm’s whims.

I too, struggle to grow on the platform, and it’s taken a massive toll on me. I’ve never encountered a platform that makes it so hard to find your audience. I just hoped it would be an organic reach like it used to be. Let’s not even talk about the struggle with all of this while having a full time, demanding job.

Over 2 years have passed since I created my new Instagram account, and I still struggle to understand what the algorithm wants.

It’s stripped away the passion I have to share my interest because I always have to think of the marketing aspect of it which I thought would come in much later.

So, what’s the next step for me? In the midst of this struggle, I’ve come to realize the importance of taking a step back and allowing myself some time to recharge. I just can’t let go yet. I adore fashion. Although not always captured on camera, I’ve been exploring many different styles and enjoying my personal style at the backend. So far, so good, and I’m almost ready for Spring fashion.

Someone once said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting to get different results. I don’t fully know my plan yet, but I know whatever I’ve been doing is either not working or that I need to be more consistent to finally break through the algorithm. I still love fashion so much that I can’t just let Instagram win. So I guess we’ll find out sooner or later.

I am obsessed with fashion and working on myself to become the best version of myself. I also feel so fulfilled when readers inform me about how valuable my blog posts have been to them.

As I strive to become my greatest version through the beauty of personal style, I will continue to explore the many ways I can find the true audience. Maybe it’s time to show more of me, but one thing is for sure that I’ll be blogging more this year! Don’t sleep on me yet.

So that’s my full truth about my struggle with the Instagram algorithm. As always, thank you so much for your support and not giving up on me. Make sure to tune in every once in a while to see what I’ve been up to. Hopefully, the next time you tune in, you’ll see nothing else but success!
