How do you treat content that doesn’t take off? (+ My rules)

Ten years ago, if a Facebook post didn’t receive enough reactions, I would delete it immediately.

Yep, 18-year-old Nika was terrified that people would notice her “failure.” Reality check: when a post flops, almost nobody sees it anyway. The only person who actually suffers from the low engagement is the original poster.

My current guidelines are clear:

Never delete content that doesn’t take off.

Because:

• It’s practice – every post levels up your skill.

• You instantly see what doesn’t work.

• It still earns a few impressions and keeps your daily posting streak alive.

• Some “flops” randomly blow up weeks or even months later.

What about you?
