Business Not As Usual with Megan Yelaney

The Off-Social Marketing System That Kept Her Business Growing While She Stepped Back


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m sitting down with my friend and marketing powerhouse Sophia Parra, the creator of Pocket CMO, to unpack how she grew her business while taking months away from social media. What started as a necessary pause during a difficult personal season turned into a massive realization about what truly moves the needle in marketing—and what doesn’t.

Sophia shares how she rebuilt her business around three core pillars: Growth, Nurture, and Sales, and discovered that none of them required posting every day. She walks us through how she leveraged collaborations, lead magnet swaps, and affiliate partnerships to stay “everywhere” online, even without the constant content grind.

We also dive into her genius Q&A Day strategy that turned conversations into clients (with conversion rates that’ll blow your mind), how she measures success beyond likes and followers, and why relationships: both with peers and potential clients, are the real growth engine.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by the algorithm or terrified to step back from social, this episode is your permission slip to build a business that keeps running, even when you need to rest.
