SPECIAL SERIES == Are Followers Still a Thing? Let’s Get Real 🎯 <== | BATHROOM Break #66 COLLAB: The Marketing Millennials + Do This, Not That
Not gonna lie, this one gets real. Jay Schwedelson and Daniel Murray go beyond the usual follower-count talk to break down what really matters when it comes to audience size—and what doesn’t. Social proof, ad credibility, platform strategies, and how to avoid looking like a ghost town brand all come into play. Whether you’re trying to grow a brand or just not embarrass yourself online, this one’s got some gems.

(05:15) Running ads? People will click your profile—and your follower count influences their trust
(05:45) Followers unlock newsletter and broadcast features you can’t fake
