 Is it a good idea to like your own social media posts? To click like or love or wow or whatever your own social media posts and your own comments as well. Does that help the algorithm show it to more people? So this is, well, first of all, the technical answer is nobody knows because nobody knows the keys to the algorithm. Only the developers know that and they of course keep it secret because if people literally knew what the algorithm was, all the spammers would be the first ones to take advantage of that. So all we can do, all of us marketers, all we do is just take notice of what seems to work, what seems to get more traction. And I'll tell you, after having used social media since 2006, you know, very actively, I have not noticed that as a significant engagement or algorithmic benefit signal. In other words, I have not noticed that liking one's own posts helps. Now, technically speaking, I do believe that, well, depending on what platform you're talking about. Okay, so for example, on LinkedIn, LinkedIn's algorithm is still a little bit more stupid, in my opinion. It's still, LinkedIn's algorithm is still more basic than like Facebook's algorithm. Facebook's algorithm is way more sophisticated. And so like on LinkedIn, if you liked your own posts, it actually probably has some algorithmic benefit because it'll, it'll, it'll, but okay, it, so some platforms have some algorithm benefit when you like your posts, but let's actually talk about the human reaction side of things. How do you think your audience will feel when they see that you've liked your own posts? That's a genuine question. I don't know, you let me know what you think, because I think that they're, because as human beings, we all have different responses to everything. Personally, to me, it looks a little desperate. Now, liking your own page, liking your own business page on Facebook, your profile, liking your own business page, that's, that's fine. I think that's fine. But like to like your own posts, to me, looks desperate as somebody who is very, you know, experienced with using Facebook. I've noticed that most of the top posts on Facebook, the people don't like their own posts. Yeah, sometimes they happen to, and it still became a top post anyway, but it's more that the post itself was interesting enough to the initial people who saw it that made it go become a top post. The algorithm values other things way more, other human reactions, other humans reactions way more than the creator's own. So long story short, my opinion is, I don't think it's a good idea just because of the look, and it's better to observe which of your posts are being liked the most by other people and doing more posts like that, creating more content in that direction because you notice other people, especially your ideal readers or ideal audience, are enjoying this type of thing. Do more posts like that and you'll have more of your posts, whether it's on LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, YouTube, those will get more reach. So hope this helps.
