Platforms
Each platform is a different room with different etiquette. This section helps you
choose
and
operate
one or two rooms well.
Platform pages include
For LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and X:
Profile setup
— fields that matter
Content that works
— formats aligned with buyer behavior
Settings checklist
— security and privacy highlights
Stats worth watching
— useful vs vanity
Strategy before tactics
Read
Choose Your Platforms
before diving into every chapter. Most readers need
one primary
and
one optional secondary
.
Platform commitment rule
Stay on a platform 90 days with MVP rhythm before judging ROI. Switching monthly prevents learning.
Cross-platform users
If you serve both B2B and visual audiences (e.g., architect):
Primary: where contracts close (often LinkedIn)
Secondary: where work is admired (often Instagram)
Do not duplicate effort —
repurpose
with native edits.
What none of these pages promise
Viral templates
Hashtag magic lists that expire quarterly
Guaranteed reach
They promise
operational clarity
for people who hate social media but need it to function.
