Use case · Social accounts

A social account is a vegetable garden: a little water, often

Water poured all at once runs off; water given little and often reaches the roots. New or resting, an account can grow again.

Anyone who has kept a garden knows it. Watering is small work, but you see it when it's missed. Tip a whole bucket on once a month and the soil can't drink it. Accounts are the same. One that posts ten times in a keen week and then rests all month is remembered less than one that posts once on fixed days, which stays in people's eyes as a place that's alive.

Why little and often

A seed doesn't become fruit overnight. While the shoots come up, the bed looks like plain soil. Still, if watering days are fixed, the waiting is less anxious.

And a bed needs one crop for its rows to be clear. People and algorithms alike look and ask, “what is this bed growing?”

  • Watering dayA post on a fixed day
  • One row, one cropOne topic
  • The shootsSaves, replies, enquiries

It's not the sparing waterer who ruins a garden. It's the one who waters in bursts. Give a little, on fixed days.

What kind of water

You don't need something new every time. Different shapes of post grown from the same bed will do.

  1. Today's one photo

    One picture from this moment and one line. A cup of water, easy to give.

  2. A post that teaches

    Answer one question you often get. The kind of post people save.

  3. Behind the scenes

    The prep, the workbench, the morning. More human than the finished thing.

  4. End on a question

    Close on a question. When replies come in, the bed breathes.

  5. An old post, again

    Show a post that did well from another angle.

  6. Next week, ahead

    A teaser frame. Make people wait for what's next.

Good to know: keeping bread

Bread is best eaten the day you buy it. If there's some left, slice it and freeze it.

If you're thinking…

What people say when they start an account or reopen one.

“It's new, so I have no followers”

Everyone's first shoot is alone. First make clear what the account talks about, and warm it up before you post. The method is in the warm-up guide.

“I've been away a while”

Pull the weeds first. Warm it up in the same order, and have the first post ready for the day you reopen.

Watering days

Three posts a week is plenty to begin with. As you get used to it, go to five, then daily, a little at a time. Not raising it all at once is the trick.

The days are an example. Picking days you can keep matters most. This pace is a rule of thumb, not a guarantee of results.

The common mistake

The one we see most often.

  • Fitted to each channelLength, form and hashtags are set per channel.

  • Grow page: 10–15 minutes a dayTurns the warm-up routine and what comes after into a mission each day. You tap each one and mark it done.

  • A person does the tappingFollows, likes and comments are only suggested, because platform terms forbid automating them.
