Connection — the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued.
And that, my friends, goes way beyond metrics.
We’ve gotten so used to chasing numbers — impressions, likes, comments, shares.
But real talk — if you post something and the impressions shoot through the roof, you get tons of likes and comments... but hardly any saves?
Did you actually make a real connection?
Because on the other hand, when a post gets fewer impressions, maybe less engagement, but a lot more saves — that’s where the magic is.
The metrics might tell one story, but the saves?
The saves tell you that someone felt something.
They cared enough to bookmark it.
They want to come back to it.
It stuck with them.
That, right there, is a connection.
A little spark made across the screen.
An information society is a society where the creation, distribution, use, and manipulation of information are the main gears turning the world.
Economic, political, cultural — everything is powered by information now.
Instead of making steel or shipping goods, the most valuable thing today is knowledge, ideas, and communication.
Sounds cool, right?
But here’s the thing:
Just throwing information around doesn’t mean you’re making an impact.
It’s just noise until it actually lands on someone.
Until it resonates.
Until the person receiving it remembers it, feels it, uses it.
Otherwise, it’s just static — facts and words flying by without meaning.
So it’s not just about posting.
It’s about connecting.
There’s so much stuff online now that attention spans have shrunk to Goldfish+Netflix levels.
Everyone’s fighting for eyeballs.
"Look at me! New offer! New product! New trend!"
But people are tired.
They’re tired of being sold to every second.
What they crave is something real.
Something that actually matters to them.
Something that makes them feel seen.
Likes and impressions are an ego boost.
Saves, DMs, comments like "this helped me" — that’s the real win.
And while I’m ranting about the internet — it’s not just an online thing.
Connection matters everywhere.
Whether you’re in:
Sales
Key Account Management (KAM)
Operations
Management
Customer service
Even boring back-end support
Your service is your connection.
It’s your bridge to your customer, your client, your community.
It’s not just the deliverable. It’s how you make them feel while delivering it.
Did you just complete a task?
Or did you make someone’s life easier, better, happier?
Ditch the buzzwords.
No one’s impressed by "synergy-driven value optimization."
They want to hear a real voice.
Someone who sounds like a person, not a polished bot.
It’s not about how many people see your stuff.
It’s about how many people feel it.
If 50 people see it and 5 people deeply connect —
That's better than 5,000 views and zero actual impact.
Ask yourself:
Would I save this? Would I share this with a friend? Would I screenshot this because it hit home?
If the answer’s no — back to the drawing board.
A " Great post!" The comment is cool.
But a comment that says "I needed this today" or "This made me think differently" — That's everything.
Start conversations.
Don’t just collect applause.
Building real connection isn’t a one-post wonder.
It’s showing up.
Being consistent.
Caring even when it’s not trending.
Being human even when AI could do it faster.
It’s slower.
But it’s stronger.
At the end of the day — More than focusing on earning metrics, I would say:
Focus on building connections.
Focus on the humans behind the screens.
Focus on the heartbeats behind the clicks.
Focus on the memories, not just the metrics.
The numbers?
They’ll follow.
They always do.
But the real win?
That’s when someone remembers you — not because you had the most impressive reach, but because you made them feel something real.
