Episode notes

The myth that social media platforms tell us is that we can use them for free and easy marketing and sales for our small businesses. The experience of being on these social media platforms is so often one that of making us feel bad. If you're feeling like the bad feelings are outweighing that joy, this podcast is for you. It might have to change quite a bit. And hopefully we can be open to that throughout this journey.

Do you ever wonder how we started doing business on social media to begin with?

On this episode, Amelia breaks down four myths about social media marketing for small business owners — deconstructing the idea that this free & easy marketing channel is ever actually free or easy.

She also explores:

how social media instills scarcity mindset in our marketing
how The Algorithm can ruin our self-confidence and our confidence in our businesses
and the core question of this podcast — What would your business be like if you were no longer on social media?
