what do you do when a post of yours flopped? i worked for so long on something and it just flopped and i just feel 😞

honestly this is such a big mood !! like you work on something for a long time and you think its bangerz and then you post it and you expect at least 200+ notes and it ends up with 50 like i feel that !!!

but tbh i dont really do anything :/ i kinda just let it flop and it just chills on my blog but there could be multiple reasons why your work would “flop” and its totally not your fault !!! you could be posting your stuff at dead time (best time is probably 11am-5pm usa time and avoid posting late at night and early mornings), your work just didnt get a lot of exposure (make sure you join networks and use tags to get your stuff reblogged to a bigger audience - popular tags like #femaleidolsedit #kgoddesses #neweraidols #nugudols #idolady are good general ones but there are always some other ones based on groups), the group/person you made content for isn’t popular on tumblr (a lot of times thats also the case if they have a small fandom on tumblr :/), or your followers just missed your post (thats why what time you post is important! and you can always reblog your work every couple of hours so followers who might’ve missed it the first time can catch it again ! ). 

if it flops you can always just delete the post and then repost it again at a better time (which i’ve done before and it does help) but honestly its just luck for me if a post does decent :/ also pls dont blame yourself if something doesnt get the results you want !! a lot of times it really is just exposure rather than quality that makes a post “flop” !!! i bet your stuff is super nice but it just didnt have the audience to support it :( continue to create content that you like and i know for sure that sometime later on everything you make will get the attention it deserves !!!
