In episode #2661, we discuss the impact of social media on marketing strategies and the importance of focusing on quality over quantity when it comes to generating revenue. We delve into the concept of virality and how it doesn't necessarily translate into increased revenue. The conversation also touches on the growing trend of organic content, particularly on platforms like YouTube and TikTok, and the different approaches required for long-form and short-form content. We emphasize the significance of consistency, quality, and targeting the right audience to achieve success in social media marketing.
