Most small business owners are still treating social media as if it works the way it did five years ago.

In their minds they’re thinking, “Okay post consistently. Try to grow my followers. Make everything look polished. Cross-post the same thing everywhere. And hope enough people eventually see it.”

But THAT social media has changed.

Today, your follower count matters a lot less than the performance of the individual post.

Which means a business with 500 followers can sometimes reach more people and get more customers than a business with 50,000.

And that shift has completely changed how small businesses should approach social media marketing.

So in this video, I’m going to give you the full strategy we recommend for small businesses today, from what to post, to how to know what’s working, to when you should actually put money behind it.
