Lately, I 've noticed something interesting with my own content : my TikTok posts are getting more reach than my Instagram posts.
My TikTok is mainly focused on creative content around books, writing, storytelling, fictional characters, and trends, including content related to my own writing project.
What surprised me is how much easier it has been for some of my videos to reach people who don't already follow me.

On Instagram, I tend to see more interaction from my existence audience, while TikTok has been introducing some of my content to completely new viewers.
It has been a useful reminder that reach and engagement aren't always the same thing , and that different platforms can behave very differently even when you're posting similar content.
For me, this isn't about abandoning Instagram. It's paying attention to what my own analytics are telling me.
Sometimes, the best marketing lessons aren't found in a textbook.
They're hiding in your own dashboard.
And right now, TikTok is definitely giving me something to pay attention to.
