Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Screen Time - Fyreside Newsletter - 11/18/24


Fyreside Newsletter - 11/18/24


Hey Reader,

I hope this third week of November finds you well! It was warm enough to have an actual bonfire here this week, and I'm pretty sure we're getting an inch of snow on Thursday. So, that's cool.

ICYMI, last week I kicked off a blog series about screen time. I published four blogs in that series last week and I have five more coming this week! When all is said and done, I'll compile all the blogs and archive it as one piece over in Free Stuff. Last week, we covered the definition of screen time, then broke down what "The Algorithm" really wants and how you can control it. Personally, (and totally without any bias at all) I think this series is a must-read for anyone who spends time on the internet. If you feel the same, I'd encourage you to send it to a friend!

We also kept the digital fire burning over on TikTok. Five days, five videos on @bahnfyrepr. Casually trying to be an influencer, so drop me a follow on the clock app please. Last but not least, we did secure a username on YouTube. There's no content there yet, but you can be among the first to subscribe and get notified when there is!

Coming this week...

Fans of This Is Nothing rejoice, issue number 2 will hit the website late this week! Someone tell these nerds to stop sending me spam email so I stop roasting them on the internet. Followers.com, you're next.

We're also continuing our series on screen time as I mentioned above! We're going to go through five different social media outlets this week and dissect how each one prioritizes user screen time. If you want to keep up with this series as it’s published, click here and I’ll send each issue straight to your inbox.

Last but not least...

It was noted at the bottom of last week's newsletter that I'm raising prices at the turn of the New Year. I wanted to move it up here too so no one missed the memo. This is half-plea and half-warning, the best marketing consultation deals you'll ever see in your life are about to go away. If you or someone you know could really benefit from a one-hour, no holds barred, consultation, please reach out or click here.

I'll punch up your content marketing strategy harder than Jake Paul punched up Mike Tyson. Guaranteed.

Screen Time: What Is It?

Can you define “Screen Time?” And if you can define it, do you know how “Screen Time” affects social media algorithms or why it matters to you? Heads up, that was the last time I’ll put screen time in quotes or capitalize it.

Screen Time: The Algorithm

You have, no doubt, encountered advice in your travels about what “The Algorithm” likes. No matter your platform of choice, there is always the question: “What does The Algorithm want?”

Screen Time: Controlling Your Algorithm

Grabbing your personal algorithm by the reins is actually easier than you might think. Once you understand what drives an algorithm, you can pave a path in whichever direction you choose. So what drives an algorithm?

I posted 5 whole TikToks this week!

Fyreside Newsletter - 1/6/25 Hey Reader, Do you remember seven days ago? Seven days ago was the 30th of December for those of you who don't have your calendar app on speed dial. There's a huge difference between December 30th and January 6th: expectation. (No, this isn't a joke about historical events that happened on January 6th, but I see you.) New Year, New Expectations The first five days of 2025 came with an excuse. You drop a national holiday on a Wednesday and you've effectively...
