Blog vs. Social Media โ Where Should I Post? ๐ค
1. Control & Ownership ๐ก vs. ๐ฑ
Blog: I own it, control it, and no one can take it down.
Social Media: The platform owns the spaceโalgorithms decide visibility.
2. Reach & Discoverability ๐
Blog: SEO brings long-term traffic, but itโs slow to start.
Social Media: Instant exposure but short content lifespan.
3. Engagement & Community โค๏ธ
Blog: Deeper, niche connections.
Social Media: Quick likes & comments, but surface-level.
4. Longevity โณ
Blog: My posts stay relevant for years.
Social Media: Content disappears fast in the feed.
5. Monetization ๐ฐ
Blog: Ads, affiliates, and sponsorships on my terms.
Social Media: Can make money, but rules change constantly.
6. Customization & Branding ๐จ
Blog: 100% my style, my domain, my rules.
Social Media: Limited to platform design.
7. Algorithm Drama โ ๏ธ
Blog: No algorithm stressโSEO drives traffic.
Social Media: One update and my reach drops overnight.
8. Ease of Use ๐
Blog: Needs setup (domain, hosting, SEO).
Social Media: Just post & go.
Why Not Both? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Blog for long-term content & control.
Social media for quick engagement & traffic.
Best move? Post on my blog, then share on social to drive visitors. ๐ฅ
๐ notes:
- posting on blog first then social media
- differnt social media platforms prefer different content types. obvious but requires some practice to develop the "taste"
