In this episode of The Bold Entrepreneur podcast, Jen Kinal discusses the common frustration among content creators that "the algorithm hates me." She explains that the algorithm is not a person with emotions, but rather a data-collecting machine that analyzes how people interact with content. The algorithm categorizes content based on patterns in posting and audience behavior, and rewards creators who generate engagement, encouraging viewers to stay on the platform longer. 

She dispels myths about overnight success and the necessity of posting multiple times a day, emphasizing the importance of consistency, clarity, and having fun with your social media strategy. She encourages listeners to analyze their analytics to understand their audience better and tailor content to resonate with them.
