Were you sick of social media, uh, long before yesterday!?
I'm not alone in the sentiment that modern social media is problematic in a lot of ways. But... don't worry, this episode isn't completely bashing social media!
I'm showing the value in it as I encourage you to keep going, even when you don't feel like it or don't feel like it's working for your business.
Social's not going anywhere anytime soon, but how we engage with it can (and should) evolve. This episode is one part social media burnout buster, one part reality check, and one part the pep talk you need to rinse, reset, and refresh!
You'll get ideas for rethinking how you're using social media platforms and where you're focusing your creative energy to achieve your goals.
Inside the episode:
- A social media journey that dates back to the late 90s
- The plot twists and pivots of social media
- Signs you might need a little more giddyup in your social game
- Defining your top goals for social media
- Considering who you're speaking to
- Evaluating your strengths and aligning them with the platforms you choose
- Streamlining for your realistic bandwidth
- Giving platforms a purpose
- Committing to experimentation
- And more!
