The Recap with CEO Jake Dunlap #103 - Click Unfollow
Shelby Woods
A short recap on social media news.
Scene:
More time in the house can mean more time on your phone. Watching videos, scrolling through social media, or texting can take up most of your day.
Question:
So, if you’re spending so much time on your accounts, why are you still following people you don’t like?
Advice?
This week Jake encourages you all to just unfollow people you don’t want to see. People you don’t like, whose content you find annoying, whose posts aren’t relevant to you. Just unfollow them!
This will free up your feed to actually consume the content you want (and faster). Which also means less time on your phone.
Watch this week’s The Recap with CEO Jake Dunlap:
Jake’s Take | Thank You, Next
We’ve heard all of the reservations about unfollowing someone before. “They’ll notice! They’ll take it personally! My engagement will go down!”
You sure?
We’ve got news for you. Your social media is your sanctuary. It’s not worth continuing to follow someone you don’t want to follow just because they “like” your content. As Jake/the French say, “F@#* a like!”
Build an audience who comments and creates conversation based on your content. Curate a group of people that make you happy.
