    Facebook Changed Its Rules on Original Content. Here’s What You Need to Know

    Facebook has gotten more specific about what it considers “original content,” and if you repurpose content or use AI to help create your posts, you might be wondering what that means for you. Does repurposing still work? Can you use someone else’s content if you add your own perspective? And where does AI fit into all of this? In this episode of the Painless Posting Podcast, Maggie Carey breaks down what Meta’s updated guidelines actually mean for business owners without turning them into another reason to panic about your social media strategy. You’ll hear why the difference between repurposing and simply recycling content matters, what Meta appears to be rewarding, and one question you can ask before publishing that can help you look at your content differently. And yes, you can absolutely keep repurposing your content. The goal isn’t to constantly invent something nobody has ever said before. It’s to make sure there’s enough of you in what you publish. 🎧 Listen now to find out what you may want to change before you create your next post. Want some help putting it into practice?

    The Real Reason Your Social Media Posts Are Getting Ignored

    Have you ever spent way too much time creating a social media post, hit publish... and gotten almost nothing back? It’s easy to blame the algorithm. But what if people are actually seeing your content and simply scrolling right past it? In this episode of the Painless Posting Podcast, Maggie Carey introduces a simple Three-Second Filter you can use to look at your content the way someone scrolling through their feed sees it. You’ll discover what can make someone pause, why a great-looking post can still be surprisingly easy to ignore, and one common mistake that can lose someone right after you’ve finally gotten their attention. Maggie also shares a quick audit you can do with your own recent posts and a simple habit to use before you hit publish. If you’re putting time into social media but not getting the attention or engagement you expected, this episode will help you figure out where the disconnect may be.

    LinkedIn Changed How It Reads Your Posts. Here’s What Works in 2026

    Have you noticed that some of your LinkedIn posts just aren’t getting the reach you expected, even when the content is good? LinkedIn has changed the way it understands and recommends content in 2026. Its newer systems are getting better at figuring out what your post is actually about, who it’s relevant to, and whether you’re adding something useful to the conversation. In this episode, I break down what’s changed and what I’d do differently now, including why specificity matters, how your LinkedIn profile can influence your content, and how your posts can reach people who don’t already follow you. I also talk about LinkedIn’s crackdown on generic “AI slop” and engagement bait, and how to use AI as an assistant without losing the experiences, expertise and opinions that make your content yours.
