"Social media is a never-ending conveyor belt of content. Keeping up on trends, posting regularly, and offering insightful comments can lead to higher engagement but also serious burnout. I should know-I started my first Twitter account (now called X) way back in 2008. Amassing around 18,000 followers on X was the easy part. Keeping the flow of content was much harder, especially during a long period of time when I wrote two books."
"I created over 20 images, usually by describing exactly what I wanted in great detail. Nano Banana Pro is now integrated into the Google Gemini Pro 3 chatbot, so creating the images was quick and easy. What proved to be more challenging? Providing the right level of detail so that the image generation tool responded with something that was worth posting."
Social media demands constant content, trend monitoring, and regular posting, which raises engagement but increases burnout risk. Multiple platforms were maintained—LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Facebook—while experimenting with Bluesky and Threads. A Google image generator, Nano Banana Pro, produced over 20 custom images using detailed prompts and is integrated into Google Gemini Pro 3 for faster creation. The main challenge was providing the right level of prompt specificity to yield post-worthy images. Visual posts increased LinkedIn impressions by 57% through more comments, shares, and algorithmic promotion, and resonated unexpectedly well on Instagram.
