carousel 9.93% engagedThere’s paint drying somewhere in my closet. A sketchbook I stopped filling. An instrument I can still almost play. Roblox until 3am. Dancing badly. Writing songs nobody was ever going to hear. Crochet. Playing outside until the streetlights came on. Life got serious so slowly I never noticed the exact day I put all of it down.

Strategy summary
What's working, what to fix, and what to ship next.
TL;DR
Emotional carousel poetry on heartbreaks and recoveries dominates, with post [4] exploding to 232k likes and post [0] at 25k fueling the feed's strength. Consistent 'Btw book' CTA in 80%+ posts pulls 1k comments on hits like [19], turning engagement into sales amid 2.3M followers. Yet 2.3 posts/week leaks momentum, as low-volume lets algorithms forget the account. Relationship ideals pillar at 30% share sustains loyalty, but reposts flop at 1.8k likes [11]. Scale frequency while sharpening hooks from post [24]'s dialogue to reclaim top-of-feed dominance.
Working
5- Carousels crush with 10x likes over images.
- Heartbreak narratives hit 100k+ likes routinely.
- Book CTA generates 300-1000 comments.
- Weekend posts average 50k+ likes.
- Relatable wisdom lists boost shares.
Risks
5- Boost cadence beyond 2.3 posts/week.
- Diversify repetitive book promo wording.
- Drop underperforming reposts and curations.
- Balance pillars to amplify self-empowerment share.
- Shorten some captions under 250 chars.
Ship next
5- Ramp to 5 posts/week targeting Sat-Sun-Mon evenings.
- Test dialogue hooks from post 24 across pillars.
- Track 'Book' comment conversions weekly.
- Feature top posts like 4 and 24 in Stories.
- Vary promo phrasing to avoid repetition.
