For almost a six month ~ , I’ve been creating daily content on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube for Adriana’s Wings and my personal brand Açelya Güneş. Here’s my honest journey, struggles, and new strategies to grow.

I’m Tired, But I’m Still Here

For nearly a six month ~ now, I’ve consistently created and shared content on social media — both for my brand Adriana’s Wings and my personal accounts as Açelya Güneş. Even during tough times when I felt emotionally and mentally drained, I didn’t stop posting.

But despite all this effort, my follower count and engagement haven’t grown as much as I hoped. This is a hard truth many creators face, and I want to be honest about it.

Numbers are just numbers — but they show how visible your work is. I want to see that visibility because it’s what keeps me going.

Why Aren’t My Videos Growing?

I’ve been posting Shorts, Reels, and TikToks regularly. Some videos have been live for about 6 months, and I’ve been uploading to YouTube consistently for over a month. But the change is still minimal.

Sometimes I ask myself:

Should I change my video style?

Am I posting at the right time?

Why does it feel like everyone else is growing but I’m stuck in place?

Trying New Strategies

Now, I’m making some changes:

Posting every two days instead of every day to preserve my energy.

Scheduling all posts for 7 PM, aiming to reach my audience at the peak time.


There are also changes happening on my personal accounts — it’s still early, but I’m hopeful. I’ll share more soon.

I Need Rest — But I Won’t Give Up

Sometimes, I just want to stop, rest, and do nothing. Because I’m really tired. But I won’t quit. This is bigger than social media — it’s about creating, sharing, and leaving a mark.

And if one day someone says:

> “She kept going, she never gave up,”
that will be enough for me.
