To Automate or Not: Finding the Balance in Social Media Engagement

 

In this episode of the podcast, we're diving into the crucial debate of automation versus personal connection on social media. We explore how infusing real human interaction can significantly impact your online presence and grow your audience. I share insights from a conversation with another influencer, contrasting perspectives on the use of automated tools like ManyChat. Through examples, including influencer Alex Clark's engagement strategies and feedback from my own followers, we discuss the fine line between leveraging automation for efficiency and maintaining genuine, personal connections. Join me as we navigate the intricacies of using automation thoughtfully and strategically in your social media strategy.
