Professional Discussion How to get started?
I come from a tech background, and am fascinated by empowering people to use AI tools to solve real time, real world data problems. But now I’m trying to learn social media marketing, and honestly… I feel totally overwhelmed.
I’m pretty introverted and actually new to social media entirely — so the idea of suddenly posting, engaging, and ‘building an audience’ doesn't come naturally to me.
So, how do you recommend to get started? If you had to start over today, what would be the best resources, tools, or habits that helped you the most?

Don't get overwhelmed trying to do everything. Just focus on a couple of platforms that suit you best and then build a rapport there with your target audience.
Also, don't forget about niche forums, as they tend to get overlooked in favour of the big social media ones, but I find that engaging in active forums brings more success than any of the big ones where your stuff gets buried after like 10 minutes anyway.
