The Social Media Algorithm Explained Simply


Listen Later

If the word algorithm sends you into a spiral of overwhelm when it comes to social media, this episode is going to feel like a deep breath.

In this solo episode, Amanda finally demystifies how social media algorithms actually work in a simple, human, “ohhh that makes sense now” kind of way. 

Inside her mentorship community, Get Seen Get Sales, they call the algorithm “Big AL”… and once you see him as a person doing a job, everything clicks.

You’ll learn:

  • What the algorithm really does (hint: it’s not out to get you)
  • Why your post is shown to a tiny test group first
  • How SEO, keywords and on-screen text help Big Al understand your content
  • Why user behaviour shifts more often than the algorithm itself
  • What content is performing well right now
  • The simple mindset shift that will change how you show up online forever

If you’ve been feeling stuck, frustrated, or convinced the algorithm hates you, this episode will calm the noise and give you back some control.
