This is actually False...kind of. 🤔 Posting on any social platform has more to do with the content and less to do with how often. While "hustling" and posting/networking a lot can certainly grow your followers, it is not necessary to have a successful business. Social Media is only one piece of the puzzle. 🧩 If you are just starting out, or don't have time to devote to daily posts, that is just fine. It's more important to post consistently, and put thought into content that is interesting, funny, engaging, informative etc. for your audience. 💯 Your Best Bet: Choose the same two days each week you will devote to sharing a new post within your audience related groups, comment on others' posts, and just be a human. This should take you 30-45 minutes (including graphic creation) per day. Set a timer so you don't get distracted.

📊 Surveys are one of the best tools to "talk" to a bigger portion of your audience. Scrolling through Gab, I cannot resist providing my thoughts in these member-produced polls. No one can! My favorite poll this week was one by @GarPunk. He is a passionate gabber for freedom and conservatism as well as a GabTV personality.

While his question revolved around video length, I felt strongly that there were implications the business owner could take from this as well. I needed to apply this to all parts of my own marketing - 🗨️ My Gab Posts should be short and to-the-point; My social comments don't need to be the length of a book; Emails sent to clients need not explain every little detail. Why? Because even though I may have a lot that I could say, it doesn't mean everyone wants to hear it. I need to value others' time as much as I want them to value my time. What do you think of this idea? Hit reply to tell me.

It's difficult to explain how powerful email marketing is to someone who gets spammed with email every day. 📨📨📨 New business owners also sometimes misunderstand the far-reaching abilities of a good email marketing plan. Just like social media, email marketing is an integral part of the puzzle to growing your business and sales.

Gab Feeds: Curated feed of gabbers pertaining to a specific topic.

Under the Gab Menu (left hand side of the screen in desktop) you can click on Feeds to see the Featured Feeds. 📋 Think of Feeds as lists - A collection of gabbers' news feeds that revolve around a certain subject.

You'll also see a quick view of Gab Feeds you are a part of just below your profile info on the right-hand side of the screen (on desktop). On your phone, you'll need to click your profile photo in the bottom right and select Feeds - The second option in the menu.

I've been building a Gab Feed called 🇺🇸 Freedom Business Marketing focused on gabbers who provide mostly marketing/web design tips with very little political posts. Thank you to Elijah Shoesmith for your help with this!
