Stop creating separate social media accounts for different content types. Modern algorithms prioritize serving individual pieces of content to the right audience, regardless of your account's history or niche. A single high-quality post will find its viewers, making account-level siloing obsolete.

Social media has evolved into 'interest media.' The algorithm is so effective that the content itself—the words you use, your background, your appearance—is the primary targeting mechanism. Instead of chasing broad appeal, create content specifically for your ideal avatar, and the platform will find them for you.

Instead of centralizing all content on one brand account, ClickUp creates an ecosystem of pages like "ClickUp Comedy" and "ClickUp Memes." These niche accounts build their own dedicated audiences and can grow faster than the main brand page, creating multiple entry points into the ClickUp universe.

Social media has shifted from 'social' to 'interest' media, where the algorithm targets users based on the content they consume. Making hyper-specific content for your target audience is the most effective form of targeting. Resist making broad content for vanity metrics, as it won't reach qualified buyers.

The algorithmic shift from social graphs (followers) to interest graphs means a single high-quality post from a new account can outperform one from a massive account. Creative merit, not existing audience size, is the primary driver of distribution on modern platforms.

Instagram now lets users explicitly select topics for their Reels feed. This shift means creators with a tight, consistent content focus are more likely to be surfaced repeatedly. Accounts covering multiple disparate topics risk being filtered out as users narrow their preferences, making niche expertise more critical than ever for discovery.

Covering multiple unrelated topics on a single YouTube channel—a "carnival channel"—fragments your audience and confuses the algorithm. Focusing on a single, clear niche is essential for building a loyal, engaged community around a core value proposition.

When announcing a new niche account, explicitly ask friends and family *not* to follow unless they're genuinely interested in the topic. Well-meaning but unengaged followers harm your account by signaling to the algorithm that your content isn't relevant, reducing its overall reach. A smaller, highly-engaged audience is more valuable than a larger, passive one.

Stop creating broad content to chase views. Algorithms are so effective that creating hyper-specific content for your ideal customer is the most efficient way to reach them. The content itself is now the targeting mechanism.
