Episode notes
Social Media's Evolving Role
- Social media has shifted from a strategy to a process within the marketing mix.
- Its primary strength lies in reaching new audiences, not necessarily building strong relationships.
Building Stronger Connections
- Focus on using social media's reach to drive audiences to subscribe to owned content channels (blogs, podcasts, etc.).
- This builds stronger relationships and provides more reliable reach than algorithmic feeds.
Embracing Fragmentation
- Accept that only a fraction of followers will see your content due to algorithms and evolving interests.
- Focus on content quality to make the most of the reach you do achieve.
