I think a lot of the social media algorithm BS is really pretty good as a tool for marketing. Pander enough to get the audience pulled in. When you're at a good point, spread out introducing who you really are.

Sacrifice doesn't have to be forever.

Imagine you're that person in a busy ballroom trying to grab everyone's attention by tapping a wine glass with a knife, but nobody is listening, so you briefly change who you are to stand on a table and yell like a gorilla. When everybody turns round in surprise, you then return to you and say 'right, as I was saying, dinner's ready' or whatever.

Also, I wonder if you actually follow people who do similar work to yourself. That's one of the best ways to learn by mimicking their success. Hope to see you climb! There's no rush
