    126. Creating a Mission for Your Social Media : SEIDS Interview Part 2
    Jun 10 2025
    Build a clear mission for your socials and turn every post into progress with SEIDS, the Logic Pro X–savvy producer who’s grown 250K+ followers by posting with purpose.

    In this episode, SEIDS breaks down how to: Define a goal-driven content strategy so your feed works like an algorithmic GPS Reuse your everyday work as shareable clips—one activity, two outputs, zero extra hours Charge what you’re worth by asking for the budget first and walking away if it’s too low Foster community through transparency: share real rates, celebrate “one fan a day,” and recruit 1,000 superfans rather than chase hollow virality

    We also dive into her two-pillar revenue stack (tech partnerships plus paid courses), her “boss review” practice for brutal self-assessment, and the case study of how daily Logic Pro hacks landed her an Apple partnership.
