Episode 2: Interview | William Hegmann Unlocks Some Social Media Secrets

Too many professionals spend money to have someone else do work (for a lot of money) on monthly subscriptions for ads that you could easily learn with a few, little known, "hacks" and do yourself. William Hegmann talks about what agents are doing wrong and some tricks to correct your social media ads that will allow you to fire those monthly subscriptions to manage your ads and put 100% of that money into the actual ad, instead of paying half of it as a service fee.
