⭐️don’t be afraid to keep repeating yourself on tiktok ⭐️ if a video style works consistently to get views then keep doing it over and over until it doesn’t (and it never lasts forever) majority of viewers each time are new and don’t even know it’s a repeat

Indie Dev Tip of the Day: playtesting isn't just about finding bugs. You don't know if your game is good until many people have ratified it. Until it consistently lands for large numbers of your testers - and don't forget to include new ones every time.

when did pinterest just get filled with AI slop 🤡 looking for decor inspo for my moodboard and every search is just filled with it now

⭐️tiktok tip time⭐️ if you have a video pick up traction - TAKE ADVANTAGE use the time straight after to get out more similar content/comment response videos to FAQs/anything that is relevant! the first viral video will naturally bring more people to your profile to see the new videos ⬇️

what a refreshing change to see a politician stand firmly on trans rights, refuse to concede the right-wing framing of trans people as "a problem", and rightly call out ridicule and bigotry in the guise of "common sense"

a photos clearout when you do tiktok for a living like:

business expense??????? 👀

if you’re hiring for a freelance role but you expect set full time hours (mon-fri 9-5) then what you actually want is a contracted employee that you want to avoid paying tax and holiday pay for do better.

creative industries as a whole have a class problem. you generally have to: ✨afford to be able to work for free to get initial experience ✨not have caring/financial responsibilities that might prevent you from opportunities ✨generally have some support system for insecurity/redundancy risks

trying to find good dates in the shop that haven’t come from israel is harder than it should be

when you post a tiktok about piss and your mum who normally supports all your content draws the line

my favourite thing to do is to leave a banger of a tiktok comment on any video i post so i can tell if its popping off by if im getting notifications that the comment is getting likes 💅

‼️REPOST YOUR TIKTOKS ‼️ don’t miss out on potentially finding your games audience by not repurposing your short form content on Reels and YT Shorts gonna use my recent client @kaizengameworks.com Promise Mascot Agency as an example in the thread below ⬇️✨
