Once upon a time, you could feel confident that when you posted something on social media, a decent chunk of your audience would see it. Sadly, thats no longer the case. Organic reach on major platforms has been shrinking for years for instance, it dropped 18% on Instagram from January 2023 to August 2024. Image source Declining reach is a big problem for government agencies and public sector teams, which rarely have the budget to spend on social media ads.

I run a Facebook group called Freelancers Who Work Smart, Not Hard , but, for ages, I managed it the hard way, not the smart way.  The hard way looks like this: trying to remember to post regularly (when I sometimes can’t even remember what day of the week it is), coming up with some of my best ideas at 3 a.m. (before promptly falling asleep and forgetting them), and posting sporadically with neither consistency nor strategy.

Meta introduced Flexible Ad Format in 2023. It seems that very few advertisers use it, but I’ve found it to be an excellent option. I’m certain that the main reason advertisers don’t use it is confusion. While the basic function of Flexible Ad Format is nearly indistinguishable from Dynamic Creative , both options exist. Advertisers also tend to have the wrong reasons for using it , and they’re disappointed when discovering it’s a bad creative split testing option.

Here’s a question: How can you boost the performance of your Instagram posts and reels in one minute or less? The answer lies in your Instagram Stories. I do this for every post I share on Instagram, and it never fails to help my content gain traction. That’s because reposting my feed posts to my Instagram stories helps my most engaged followers (read: my mom) see my Instagram content, which might not have popped up on their feeds yet.

Let’s start with the facts: I don’t usually create content this way. Most weeks, I post 3–5 times across LinkedIn, Threads, and TikTok — usually planned a few days in advance, sometimes the same day. I like having the flexibility to post when I’m inspired, not just when something’s scheduled. But ahead of a month-long trip — part retreat, part travel — I knew I couldn’t rely on my usual workflow.
