Social media is no easy ride. Zoho Social is still working well for posting across platforms, but Instagram started throwing error messages saying posts weren’t successful. Oddly enough, when I checked the Instagram account, the posts were actually there — sometimes even duplicated. I cleaned up the extras and kept moving forward, finishing up the Instagram profile by adding a description and searching for people to follow.
I decided to look for influencers whose values align with Patriot Prayer Tees. After following about 10 accounts and reviewing their content, I took the leap and began reaching out to a few about partnering to help spread the word.
The first couple messages went through just fine — then came a “verify your humanity” prompt. I did, but Instagram still locked the account for 24 hours, which also affected Threads (since they share a login).
Here’s the thing:
I’m not a bot. (but I have ChatGPT proofread my posts and messages)
I know, that’s what a bot would say.
But really — I’m just one person, working late into the evenings after a full day job, trying to build something rooted in faith and encouragement.
Update: Account unlocked on Instagram and Threads. However, I disconnected those accounts from Zoho Social for now. I’ll have to post to those sites manually. Also, it seems he direct messages I sent are gone. I’ll try those again, but one per night, space out the activity.
