đ« What NOT to Do When Posting Short-Form Content
Because reach isnât luckâitâs algorithmic trust. And some of you are killing it without realizing it.
Short-form platforms are ruthless.
One wrong move and your post tanks.
Do it a few more times? You get shadowbanned.
Keep going? Youâre bannedâpermanently.
The algorithm doesnât care if you âmeant well.â
It cares about signals. And it remembers everything.
If youâre building an affiliate business on TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Facebook, or Xâthis is your blacklist.
Hereâs exactly what kills reach, destroys trust score, and puts your account at risk.
â 1. Posting too much Without Warming Up Your Account
-
New account? You need to manually warm it up for 7 days.
-
Scroll, comment, follow, like, go Liveâbuild trust first.
A fresh account posting too fast = instant flag.
â 2. Using Others Content
Every video is audited to ensure that its original content. Posting others content can kill your post and hurt your account
â 3. Dropping Raw Links in Captions or Comments
Never put affiliate links, Bitly links, or raw URLs directly in your post caption or comment.
Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook all suppress link-stuffed posts.
Your bio is where the link belongs.
The caption and video should send them there.
Â
Â
â 4. Silent Lives
Going Live = good.
Sitting silently on Live = algorithm suicide.
Talk. Move. Engage.
Silent Lives get flagged as bot behavior and lower your trust score.
â 5. Using the Same Caption Over and Over
Recycled caption = spam signal.
Use your best captions in rotation, not duplication.
Swap 3â5 high-performing captions weekly.
Never post the same one twice in a row.
â 6. Posting Multiple Times Back-to-Back
You post 3 Reels at 9:01, 9:02, 9:03 AM.
The algorithm doesnât know which one to push.
Result? None of them go anywhere.
Space your posts 2â3 hours apart minimum.
â 7. Ignoring Account Trust Fundamentals
Trust score is everything.
Donât ignore the basics:
-
Use 1 SIM per account
-
Try not to connect multiple IGs to the same phone
-
Use real Gmail or iCloud
-
Never switch accounts back and forth all day
Protect your profile like it's your storefront. Because it is.
