There’s more on marketing without social media in this blog post.

 

10 reasons to stop relying on social media to market your business:

• You’re building your business on someone else’s land
• You increasingly have to pay to be seen
• You have to spend more and more time for less and less results
• Algorithms change which is super frustrating
• Social media companies are not kind, benevolent organisations
• It’s not sustainable long term
• It affects our brains negatively
• There are better ways to market yourself
• The platform you use will eventually lose popularity and die
• Your ideal clients might not actually be using it!
