Tired of the "Algorithm Game on Social?" Here’s How to Make Extra Money from Home This Thanksgiving Season 🍂

It’s the season of falling leaves, pumpkin spice, and... algorithm angst?

Yep. If you're anything like most women making extra money from home, building an online business, you've probably heard or said something like this lately:

"ARG.. WHY is Facebook is only showing my posts to 20 people!" "My engagement is down! I'm only seeing the same old same old people.. Nobody sees my stuff anymore!"

Sound familiar?

🍁 Let’s get one thing straight: The algorithm is not your enemy. But it is picky. And if your content isn’t cutting through the clutter, it’s not going to land in the right newsfeeds aka your friends daily scroll. Especially during late fall, when everyone’s attention span is scattered between Q4 sales, school routines, and Thanksgiving grocery lists.

So instead of blaming the algorithm, let’s focus on what we can actually control, and how it can help us make extra income from home without losing our mind in frustration!

🍂 Truth Bomb: Fluffy Friendly Posts Won’t Build Your Business This Black Friday

It might feel tempting to drop another "Hello, good morning" post or "which do you like better Pumpkin Spice Latte or Eggnog? Beyond "Have you started Christmas shopping yet?" "Cranberries in your turkey stuffing or apples?" ..that's been posted a hundred times over .. or share a random pic of your dog in a pumpkin costume (okay, maybe that is worth sharing🤣).. But if you're doing it "just to stay visible", you’re missing the bigger picture.

People are scrolling fast. Most women only spend 15 - 20 minutes at a time on Facebook or Instagram. They're checking in between errands, sipping peppermint spiced at football practice, or winding down before bed.

So if your audience is going to see anything you post, it needs to stand out.

And what grabs attention faster than fluff?

Emotion. Story. Specificity. Real connection.

"What's in it for them?"

That’s the secret to rising above the noise, and it’s also the key to how to make extra money from home in today’s money maker digital world.

🚩 The Algorithm Secret Nobody Talks About

Here’s the real apple spiced tea: Did You Know .. You can actually influence what shows up in other people’s feeds. It’s not Halloween witchcraft, it's the algorithm math.

The more YOU interact with someone (comments, emojis, private messages), the more the algorithm prioritizes showing your content in their feed.

So if you're:

• Reacting to their posts
• Leaving meaningful comments
• Asking real questions
• Sliding into their DMs without pitching

...then guess what?

Your content gets pushed, boosted in their newsfeed and daily scroll. You become visible. Memorable. Human.

It’s like a apple caramel-spice ripple effect: small engagement leads to big results over time.

🍁 Real Conversations = Real Conversions

Want more engagement? Want more sales? Want to actually make money online before the Black Friday, Cyber Monday holiday hustle hits?

Stop waiting for people to come to you.

Start showing up where it counts:

• Drop a thank-you message when someone reacts to your story
• Leave a comment that goes beyond "So cute!"
• Ask questions that actually matter:
  • What’s lighting you up this month?
  • What feels heavy right now?
  • How can I support you this season?

That’s not fluff. That’s depth. And that’s what builds trust.. fast.

🍗 Facebook Tips That Actually Boost Visibility This Fall

Here’s what works when you’re trying to stand out online and stay true to your values:

• Use your own photos. Don’t just share quote graphics. Put your face, life, and story into your content. (Facebook loves your original content/photos.)
• Ask real questions. The kind that spark thought, not just likes.
• Say what's in your mind. The things you know others are thinking but not speaking aloud. Like this deep Facebook Post about my daughter and I and how I marketed my business damaged our relationship!
• Post stories of gratitude & joy. This is the season of thanks. Lean into it.
• Drop value before you pitch. Teach. Inspire. Empower. Give before you ask.

🌈 Don’t Be Vanilla in a Pumpkin Pie World

Let’s be real: our brains are wired to ignore the same old same old daily ordinary.

So if your feed looks, sounds, and feels like everyone else's... guess what?

It’ll get swiped past. It's not new. It's not different ..

You want to attract aligned clients, real sales, create conversations and engagement that turns into income?

Be bold.
Be weird.
Be YOU.

Let your story shine. Let your personality peek through. That’s the special magic that cuts through the noise and gets remembered.

🌿 Gratitude is the New Growth Strategy

Before you chase the "more" (more likes, more clients, more sales), pause and give thanks for what you already have. Begin with gratitude.

It opens the door for even more.

And from that place, here’s what to do:

• Be the first to comment on other people’s posts
• Be the friend, not the spammer
• Lead with value, not volume

Because when you show up with genuine energy, that you know there is enough success and sunshine for everyone .. your own newsfeed shifts. Your algorithm perks up. And your inbox begins to ping.

This is what real business growth looks like in 2025. And it starts right now with how you choose to connect.

🧡 Your Autumn Action Plan

Want to build momentum before Black Friday? Try this:

• Audit your last 10 posts. Did you tell a story? Did you offer value? Did you show your face? Are you talking "at them" or "with them"?
• Pick 5 women you’d love to work with. Go love up their content, send them some gratitude.
• Share one behind-the-scenes post this week: real life, no filter.
• Ask one question on your page that opens hearts and the comment threads.

And if you’re still feeling stuck, let’s not overthink this.

🦃 From Gratitude to Growth: Your Black Friday Business Blessing

Let this be the season you stop spinning your wheels and start working smarter.. not harder. If you're ready to ditch the fluff, stop begging the algorithm, and finally feel seen for your gifts, story & service… there’s a different way. 💻🍁

Because I remember what it felt like.. pouring my energy into content creation for Social, the hype and fake urgency, and one-sided conversations that went nowhere. I kept showing up, but my savings bank account didn’t go up. My spark was fading, and I knew there had to be a different way.

That’s when I found digital marketing with automation, systems and tools that do most of the heavy lifting online without burning out my energy or my audience. Working for me when I just wanted to bake pies and snickerdoodle cookies.

If you're in that place right now.. still "doing the work", the posting, praying, still hoping and wishing, still feeling invisible.. you might not be the problem.

You just need a better system.
