Great job with this. I wonder how many readers truly look at social media to find a read. For example, IG was built as a picture platform and now reels are big. I feel the people looking at IG are looking for that form of stimulation, not a book or blog to read. Wouldn’t content creation work best on that type of platform ?
Totally. Finding a platform that fits your content style is really important. I think Instagram is best suited for reels and general picture/video content.
Oops, don't share on Facebook. They did not allow it. Called it spam. This has not happened since I was kicked off for telling folks to eat their lemons. lol I will get it around Hudson.
Interesting--I had read that Facebook is dominated by old people. Maybe 30s is old? However, if you add up the last three age ranges, the total is about 24%, which is significant.
Totally. It's interesting how public opinion often differs from statistics. It's one reason why I like to go through this exercise at least once a year. 🙌
Great breakdown, Hudson! It’s wild how much platform dynamics shift each year. You mentioned Facebook still being a strong contender despite the ‘boomer’ rep—do you think organic reach is still viable there, or is it mostly a pay-to-play game now? Would love to hear your thoughts on where Facebook fits into a long-term audience-building strategy
Definitely not Medium rn...
🥲

Hi, again. Can i translate part of this article into Spanish with links to you and a description of your newsletter?
Sure! 🙏
Hi, Hudson.
In Spanish, it was quite a lot long, so I split it in 2 articles. This is the first:

I've had similar issues on Facebook! They have no support contact, which is strange for such a large company. 🤷♂️
Great job on this, Hudson. You presented the info much better than analytics does. This kind of thing is invaluable to writers. I'll share it.
That's great to hear! I appreciate you. 🙂🙏
Appreciate you too. PS Shared this to Facebook and they took it down as spam. I have requested a reconsideration. The Stinkers.

Thanks so much for this, Hudson. Some of the stats really surprised me and now I'm wondering if I'm sharing my writing in the best places.
You're welcome! I too was surprised looking at these numbers. I think it's always valuable to look at the numbers from to time. 🙂🙌
how about tumblr
Yes, I think I remember your post from last year, and thank you for updating it in such a dynamic layout. Class info!
