TL;DR: In the world of doom-scrollers, you need to do more than hit ‘post’ to be seen, let alone followed. Your only shot? Being real. Show your audience the authentic, behind-the-scenes you. And if you think “being real” takes too much time and effort, Practina’s Gallery AI has got you. |
Do you even know what you’re up against when you post on social media?
Breaking news. Conspiracy threads. And the worst of all, brain-rot memes.
So how do you cut through? As cliché as it might sound, by being real. Not overly sophisticated. Not clickbait. Just honest, original content. Sometimes that means ditching the filters and perfect templates entirely. Show the real stuff: the work in progress, the messy desk, and the faces behind the brand. Even something as simple as sharing your thoughts and beliefs can make a difference.
The point is to find common ground with your audience. Build a connection. Create a community rather than just a following. The kind that cannot be bought. And the kind that will stay with you through more than just your next post.

Because it works. Being real breaks down the walls between you and your audience in a way polished perfection never will. When you let people see the authentic side of your brand, you invite them into your story. And that pays off in ways algorithms can’t measure.
Here’s what it does for you:
- Breaks the ice for people discovering your brand for the first time. It makes you approachable and relatable, which is half the battle in marketing.
- Builds intrigue. When your audience gets a glimpse of your process, they naturally want to know more. Curiosity is a powerful engagement driver.
- Keeps your followers in the loop. People love updates, especially the ones that make them feel like they’re “in” on something.
- Shows you care. Letting your audience see the effort you put in to deliver a great product or service shows you value their trust.
- Humanizes your brand. Perfection is boring. Imperfections make you relatable and trustworthy.
- Creates emotional connections. People don’t just buy products, they buy into stories and shared values.
- Fosters loyalty. When someone feels connected to your brand, they’re not just a follower; they become an advocate.
And Algorithms Love the Real Stuff Too Btw… Here’s the thing: the algorithm isn’t just out here rewarding pretty, polished posts. It’s after the same thing your audience is: real engagement. ▪ Real conversations beat fake hype. Meta has straight-up said their platforms push posts that spark genuine replies, not the “comment YES if…” clickbait . ▪ Consistency and authenticity are the undefeated duo. When you show up regularly and stay true to your brand’s voice, the algorithm takes note and rewards you. ▪ Quality over quantity. Always. In 2025, spammy posting gets you nowhere. Real, high-quality content that connects will always win reach. ▪ Authentic screams credible. If your content feels legit and delivers value, the algorithm wants more people to see it. Bottom line? Being real not only gets you in your audience’s good books but also the algorithm’s. |
How to Get Real With Your Audience: 5 Content Ideas That Just Click
If you’re not sure where to start, these ideas will give you an easy entry point into authentic visual content marketing:
- A virtual tour of your workspace
Show your audience around. Highlight the little details that make your workspace uniquely yours. This not only sparks curiosity but also helps foster a sense of belonging. - The brilliant brains behind your brand
Whether it’s the CEO at their desk or a team deep in a brainstorming session, showing the people behind the work reminds your audience there’s a real team working for them. - Stories where you made someone’s day
You might not have changed the whole world, but if you’ve made a real difference for a customer, show it. Proof of good work resonates. - Events you attend or organize
These moments tell your audience you’re active in your industry and community. They also make for great, natural social content. - The messy stuff
Share the times when things didn’t go according to plan. Mistakes happen, and showing how you handle them makes you relatable, and even more credible.
Now That You Know All That…
There are probably two things running through your head right now:
- That is so true and makes so much sense.
- But where do I even start, or who has the time?
Both of those thoughts are valid. And we get it. Being real with your audience doesn’t mean you have to have it all figured out or spend hours every week producing content.
Sure, snapping pictures or recording a quick video isn’t too hard. But editing them? Finding the right captions? Choosing layouts? Hunting down hashtags? That’s where it gets overwhelming.
