how does one ethically increase their social media reach?

how does one ethically hire and implement strategies from contract marketing firms to increase their social media reach?

what cost-free programs are currently operating that enable those without the ability to pay for the potential of increased social media reach to do so?

do we want the only people that have access to help increasing social media reach to be those who have enough money to pay for it?

@drdrowland it’s a time consuming process , but basically not a secret : lots of sincere / genuine engagement , reach out to people , literally ask for follows and likes … is it awfully cringeworthy ? Yes. But that’s just how to do it.

@tonic i shall endeavor to avoid cringeworthiness by not asking for follows and likes. those other recommendations seem sound.

@drdrowland ah, before I forget , check out this tool for mastodon : a.gup.pe (that’s a url😉)

@tonic i've been recommended that before. could you elaborate more on their use? is it an automated repost tool?

@drdrowland check it out @test just write an @keyword @a.gup.pe for inter-instance searchable (sort of)

@tonic @test thanks. i'll remember to use that in the future and work hard to get over the fact that i don't feel like i should have to type out all those extra characters.

@drdrowland @tonic

I appreciate that Mastodon is less about accumulating favorites and boosts than Instagram where every user is a brand worthy of professional-level data tracking to get more engagement. Here, I find I'm more compelled to look at the content because the metrics aren't visible below the post. That's how I found your account, @drdrowland! :)

@giamora @tonic your compliment is kind. thank you.

disabling engagement metrics should be a simple switch in the account preferences. this service seems to have a typical amount of half-finished implementation as is common among open source projects.
