Stop Posting. Start Profiting: Why Ads > Endless Content
Let’s be real—posting on social media every day is exhausting, and most of the time, it doesn’t move the needle. So the big question is: should you stop posting and just run ads?
In this episode of The Growth Hack: Franchise Marketing Unleashed, Marcus Slater (AdCloud founder and anti-Instagram influencer) and creative director Mckenzie tackle the big, bold truth: content without conversion is just digital busywork.
If you’re stuck in content hamster wheel hell, this one’s for you.
🔥 What you’ll learn in this episode:
- Why social media posts are great after a customer books—not before
- How to use reviews for content that actually converts
- The difference between educational and entertaining content (and how to nail both)
- When to use awareness ads vs conversion ads
- Why linking your Instagram instead of your website might be a power move
- How to stop being a DIY marketer and build something that actually scales
- The simple hack to get ChatGPT to build a content plan based on your data
If you’re posting five times a week and still hearing crickets… it’s time to pivot. Organic posting might win hearts, but paid ads win wallets—and this episode shows you how to do both smartly.
