Stop Sharing on Social Media
Shares are looked at as a huge method of support because it's outward-facing. But do shares really produce your desired result? If it's views you seek, then maybe, but if you need analytics on your website, sales, listens, downloads, subscribers, referrals, reviews, then maybe rethink the "lazy" share. In this episode I talk about my latest realization about shares on social media. I am grateful for everyone who supports me! Visit www.winifredsummer.com and be sure to visit the blog!...
