Great topic! Staying adaptable is key. I focus on creating high-quality, engaging content that resonates with my audience. Also, leveraging analytics to understand what performs well helps me pivot quickly. What strategies have you found effective?

Focus on content that works for your niche while trying new ideas. Consistency paired with quality posts seems to work very well, the algo is rewarding new and fresh content over time. Expect that all posts/content wont work – its normal.

I keep looking for relevant KWs and using them in captions and hashtags. I create the content accordingly and stay consistent

I suspect this happens more with channels that chase trends. Best way to avoid the algorithm changes is create quality content of value.

I feel you on the algorithm struggle! It’s like playing a never-ending game of catch-up. One thing that’s worked for me is focusing on creating genuinely engaging content rather than chasing trends. I’ve found that when I post stuff my audience really cares about, it tends to perform well regardless of algorithm changes. Also, staying active in comments and DMs seems to boost visibility. What about you – have you noticed any patterns in what works? It’d be great to swap more tips and help each other navigate these tricky waters!

Stop thinking that algorithms are some kind of conspiracy to ignore your content. In fact, they are simply programmed to interact with content.
This means your job is to first understand what content your target audience wants, for example by studying similar profiles and competitors with good reach and engagement. And then you simply adapt the results to your profile.

Don’t. Just post good content you would consume.

I’ve found that staying flexible is key – focus less on chasing the algorithm and more on creating authentic, engaging content. Algorithms love engagement, so get people talking, sharing, and interacting.
Another trick? Diversify. Don’t rely too heavily on one platform. If TikTok’s algorithm goes haywire, maybe your audience is thriving on LinkedIn or Instagram.
And always keep experimenting – sometimes it’s the unexpected content that gets picked up by the algorithm.
