Welcome back to episode #309! Is your social media marketing plan actually converting followers into leads and sales? I know how fun social media can be...trust me! Whether it be recording Instagram stories, creating a post on Facebook.... or maybe even doing an Instagram live! But, the thing about most platforms (and specifically the ones I've listed above), is your post loses traction within 24 HOURS unless you run paid ads to it!
