Summary
What if everything you've been told about posting frequency is backwards? You're watching other creators post daily - sometimes multiple times a day - and you're convinced that's what it takes. So you batch on Sunday, show up strong for three days, burn out by Thursday, disappear for two weeks, feel guilty, then panic-post six times in three days to catch up. That cycle? It's not just exhausting. It's actually tanking your reach. The algorithm doesn't care that you posted ten times last week. It cares that you ghosted this week. And every time you do that, you're training it not to trust you. Turns out, the algorithm rewards reliability over volume. Predictability over hustle. Consistency over bursts. And most creators are doing the exact opposite of what actually works. In this episode of Launch Confidential, Taylor and Diana break down what the algorithm is actually optimizing for, why sporadic posting destroys your reach even when you're creating great content, and how to find a posting rhythm that grows your audience without burning you out. Spoiler: it's way less than you think. And yes, you have permission.
