ITS KINDA GIVING ME THE ICK…

This is my own opinion so take it with what you will, but I don’t care to see every other post being about a box you got from a brand… I can’t be the ONLY one feeling this way on this app…. And quite frankly it’s giving me the ICK 🤮

I’m all about getting your bag sis and being proud of your accomplishments, but I’ve noticed from so many users on Lemon8 that they have CHECKED OUT āœŒšŸ» because there’s too many ā€œUNBOX with meā€ or ā€œcheck out my PR this weekā€.

The reason people are turned off by this here is because it’s not relatable… not everyone gets PR or is an influencer. So keep that in mind when wanting to grow your platform for the long haul. šŸ¤—

If there’s one takeaway I can share with creators who ONLY post PR packages is , read the ROOM and know your AUDIENCE. Half of the creators who are doing this are also the same ones asking why is engagement low… they go hand in hand and is marketing 101!

Relatability = Organic Engagement! šŸ“ˆ

Especially on Lemon8šŸ¤—

Let me know if your feeds are like this or if it’s just me cause at this point I don’t even know anymore lolšŸ™ƒ

... Read moreAs social media evolves, platforms like Lemon8 are experiencing shifts in user preferences. Unboxing content, once captivating, is now starting to evoke a sense of disconnection among audiences. This article highlights the observation that many users are feeling overwhelmed by constant PR posts and unboxing videos, which might lack relatability for the average user. The concept of relatability is crucial for organic engagement. When influencers exclusively share their PR packages, it can alienate followers who do not have similar experiences. Understanding this disconnect is vital for creators aiming to maintain a loyal audience. Creators should focus on authentic storytelling and relatable content that resonates with their audience's daily lives. Engaging with the audience’s interests and concerns will not only boost engagement but also foster community connections. Furthermore, as overconsumption of unboxing content continues, it’s essential for content creators to adapt their strategies. Balancing promotional posts with content that feels genuine and relatable can create a more harmonious feed. This approach can lead to increased engagement rates and a sustained following, ultimately benefiting creators in the long term. In the current landscape, it’s crucial for content creators to assess their audience's preferences diligently. Creating diverse content that includes personal anecdotes, tips, and relatable moments alongside promotional offerings can rekindle genuine interaction with followers.
