1.2 Marketing Strategy- The Intent With Social Medi

This episode dives deep into the real purpose of social media in your marketing strategy and why most business owners are setting themselves up for frustration and burnout. Ashley breaks down the difference between social media as a visibility tool versus expecting it to be your main sales driver, and explains how to use it strategically without posting five times a week just to see four comments max.

She covers the importance of having clear intent behind every piece of content you create and how social media fits into the bigger picture of your overall marketing strategy.

Key Takeaways:

Social media is a top-of-funnel marketing channel - It's designed for brand awareness and visibility, not as your primary sales driver
Wrong expectations lead to burnout fast - If you're expecting social media to generate all your sales, you're setting yourself up for frustration
Strategy beats frequency - It's better to post less often with clear intent than to post daily just for the sake of showing up
Plan your content with purpose - Every post should have a reason and move your audience toward a specific next step
Social media isn't an owned channel - You have no control over algorithms or who sees your content, so don't make it your only marketing strategy
