What You're Getting Wrong About Social Media Strategy

July 29, 20253 min read

No, it’s not all about picking the most aesthetic shade of beige. 

Let’s cut to the chase: 

If you think social media strategy means posting a few pretty Reels, slapping on a hashtag, and waiting to go viral…I love you, but we need to talk. 

Strategy is not “just vibes.” It’s not about chasing viral posts. And it’s definitely not about how many aesthetic carousels you can post before burnout takes you down.

Ready for some real talk? Let’s bust the biggest myths holding your content and business back.

Myth #1: “More Posts= More Growth” 

Posting more does not mean you're growing. It usually means you’re exhausted and panicking at the algorithm like it’s your ex’s read receipts.

You know what matters more than volume? 

Intentional posting. Strategic posting. Posts that talk to your audience, not just at them. You could post seven times a week and still hear crickets if you’re not: 

  • Speaking your audience’s language 

  • Solving actual problems 

  • Leading people toward your offer

Myth #2: “Going Viral Should Be the Goal” 

Going viral feels cute at the moment, but if it brings in followers who aren’t your target audience? It’s giving no Return on investment, just vibes. 

  • A reel with 50K views that brings in zero sales= marketing fluff. 

  • A carousel with 200 saves that leads to ten new clients? That’s strategy, baby. 

Focus on building a community, not just chaos. A viral moment isn’t a business model. Consistent, high-value content that gains trust? Now that pays off. 

Myth #3: “Aesthetics > Messaging” 

Let me be very blunt: your pretty Canva post means nothing if the caption is giving absolutely no context and your CTA is nonexistent. 

A cute grid is nice, but a grid that converts? That’s even better. 

The scroll-stopping design should support your message, not distract from it. So yes, use your brand colors. Yes, make it look pretty. But never forget that people buy because of clarity, value, and connection… not just because your post is the digital version of a perfect sunset. 

What Real Strategy Looks Like 

So what is a real social media strategy?

Every strategy includes: 

  • Audience targeting: Who are you talking to? And why should they care? 

  • Clear business goals: What do you want this content to do? Get inquiries? Sell a course? Grow email signups? 

  • Content pillars: A mix of educational, personal, promotional, and community-driven content. 

  • Platform-specific planning: What hits on TikTok might flop on Instagram. 

  • Performance tracking: We don’t just “post and pray”-- we adjust based on real-time data. 

We keep it realistic and intentional because we know you have a business to run (and a life to live). 

TL;DR: What You Actually Need 

Less guessing. Less aesthetic-only posts. Less performance anxiety every time you hit post. 

More strategic planning. More ideal clients finding you. More results from fewer, better posts. More sanity, less spiraling.
