How does it all work?

• Affinity – The relationship between the creator and recipient.

More variety in content types will increase your response

• Weight – More comments and likes = increased weight

Ask questions, Educate, Enlighten, and Entertain your audience

hours

Never do back to back posts, post once / twice per day
