According to Statista, 63.9% of the worldâs population are social media users, which means your audience is just a scroll away. But hereâs the good news: You donât need followers to get views anymore. Let me explain. You may have felt like starting on social media is pointless without a big following⌠Yes, most people think they need followers first. But today, social media is on easy mode. If youâve noticed, all these social platforms are talking about how theyâre using AI. Platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook use AI to recommend your content, not just to your followers, but to anyone who watches similar content. The algorithm looks at what someone watches, then shows them more content like that, even if itâs from creators they donât follow. This is a huge win for new creators and business owners like you. Hereâs what that looks like: â You can get views with zero followers â Youâll reach people who already like similar content â Youâll grow faster if you post regularly If youâre still not creating content for your business, or even for your personal brand, I think itâs time when you donât have to stress about building followers first. The most important thing you have to do is to focus on showing up and creating content your audience cares about. And even new platforms like Threads are in this game, as, even though itâs a more text-based platform, more engagement is coming from non-followers. So, how can you use this right now? Start simple: Pick 1-2 topics you want to be known for. Post content, or reels, 3-4 times a week. Keep your content clear, useful, and easy to watch. See which ones get views, monitor the engagement, and repeat that style. Your goal isnât to go viral overnight. Your goal is to learn what works and build from there.

Ever heard of Mister Splashy Pants? Back in 2007, Greenpeace ran a poll to name a whale for their anti-whaling campaign. They expected serious names. But the internet had other plans. Someone suggested Mister Splashy Pants. People loved it. The name blew up on Reddit, won the vote, and Greenpeace had to roll with it. The best part?
