Episode notes

Social media platforms tell us that they are an easy way to sell our offerings, right? Ther just like, put your products on instagram, we'll use our algaritm to help find people who love them, and they'll buy them from you. And so i started doing business on instogram little by little, and then it really snowballed. And all of a sudden i felt like every single post needed to be promoting something, selling something, growing my community. It really, it's hard to untangle how all that happened.

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?
