Best time to post: does it matter?
The best-time-to-post charts were built on millions of huge accounts. For an independent with a few hundred followers, the clock is a rounding error. Here is what moves reach instead.
Case studies
Should a small business try to go viral?
Everyone wants the post that explodes. For a local independent, a viral spike is the wrong target. It inflates reach, not the audience that books you. Here is what to aim for instead.

Reach vs Audience: What's the Difference?
Reach is the people a platform shows you to once; audience is who you can reach again, on purpose. Here's the difference — and why only one of them compounds.
