154: Stop Blaming the Algorithm: The Real Reason Your Sales Are Stuck
Episode Show Notes: https://sociallyausome.com/post/154-stop-blaming-the-algorithm-the-real-reason-your-sales-are-stuck
What if I told you the algorithm isn’t the reason your sales are stuck?
Yep, you heard me.
It’s not the reach, the hashtags, or the shadowbans holding you back. The truth is, there’s something much bigger at play—and it’s the reason your audience isn’t converting into paying customers.
It has nothing to do with posting more and everything to do with what happens after your audience sees your content.
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the real reason your sales are flatlining, the three biggest mistakes most entrepreneurs are making, and how to finally build a system that works—algorithm or not.
