* Engaging with other creators’ posts can help expand your reach and build relationships.
* Using carousels and images in posts can increase visibility and engagement.
* Avoid including links in posts to maximize reach, but consider using them in comments to drive traffic and build relationships.
* Engaging with comments can lead to valuable insights and growth opportunities.

Hi Jonathan, I see you've been posting vidoes for a couple years now. I know more people would click on your videos if you had more compelling thumbnails. I am a digital designer that can create custom thumbnails for each video you create. If you're interested, feel free to reach out. :)
