Boss wants me to post a reel, a post, and a story every single day. I’m a one person marketing team aka: graphic designer, content creator, photographer/videographer, website designer, admin, project manager, etc. You know the deal.

It’s a small business that mostly specializes in juice and protein shakes. My posts are doing poorly and I’m sure it’s because I’m posting just to hit my quota - I still try obviously but even with research and planning and ChatGPT it’s difficult. Just creating QUALITY content is difficult in this structure.

I also do other random design/admin tasks outside of this - sometimes it takes a lot of time from my day - but not always, it’s random.

On another note: My boss said she could only give me a raise if I did more things for her - and I guess this was her way of doing that because I’ve been posting 3 times a day since September and she just gave me a $1 raise this month. I did one post or reel a day before this and usually a story a day.

So I fear she won’t want to change this flow because to her I’m “earning” my pay by doing more even though I think it’s hurting our numbers.

Any suggestions?
 
You're right. In my opinion you should quit that job. Such a useless boss.

Quality over quantity. Start a side thing and show her that? Maybe separate account where you do things slower and show her that giving you more time to hone the posts can really be better. it is all about views after all.

Go with her and go steroids with ai

Then advice on what should be done when she sees the results

It's tough cracking your head daily on what to.post
But then..thanks to gppppt + video and maybe notebook lm
 
Posting that much kills quality and reach.

Better fewer good posts than daily filler. Show her the numbers and push for quality over volume or you just burn out.
