Story telling is the next best marketing strategy

Listen selling your product or your product the same way on Instagram and Facebook is not going to work anymore, we all know companies will hire one overused influencer who probably will pitch her voice so high that its so evident that they're lying about how incredible your product is.

Years ago before Instagram and influencer marketing, brands really understood the art of advertising and that is what genuinely made people buy a product while feeling connected to them, all the advertising made us feel certain emotions and now every time we look at those brands we directly relate to the emotions it made us feel all because of their advertisement. Surprisingly the newer brands are just discovering the power of true storytelling advertisements and are getting more traction via it, and understandably so

Is it the branding, the content, the customer experience, or just being around long enough?

When does a brand actually become memorable?

There are so many businesses selling basically the same thing.

Same products, similar prices, similar ads.

Yet somehow a few brands stick in your head immediately.

Small business blew up on social media, getting overwhelmed.

Hey guys, we started a small business a couple months ago, it involves doing a monthly drop of a limited amount of handmade items. The first month was slow, no followers, a couple sales, going off Etsy. We had a video blow up on Facebook and got around 40k followers. Each video we post gets anywhere from 100-600k views (trying for monetization). While absolutely incredible, we are starting to get some social media fatigue. Responding to hundreds of PMs daily, answering the same questions over and over (our pinned post has all of the answers). We’ve switched to Shopify and we’re still learning it. I guess I’m just asking advice on what to do. Do we start ignoring people? Stop replying to all comments? It’s to the point where our little side business that we started for fun and some vacation money, is now the major household stressor. I know this might be small potatoes to some, but it’s not something we ever saw coming, and while truly thankful, we are spent. Thank you for any advice you might have!

What's the best site to buy Instagram views right now?

I have been looking into where to buy instagram views, but nearly every one if them makes the same claims about offering “real views” and “safe delivery.” and it's getting difficult to tell which ones are reliable and which ones simply increase the number without providing anything useful at all.

Has anyone used one recently and paid attention to what happened after ordering? I'm curious whether the views arrived naturally, brought any profile activity, or caused anything unusual with their account. I don't mind paying a little more if the site is reliable and does not send everything at once.

When The Traditional Breadwinner Role Starts To Flip

Stay-at-home dads and husbands are becoming increasingly common in the US, partly due to changes in the job market, where women now hold slightly more payroll positions than men. Pew Research reports that men represent around 18% of stay-at-home parents, nearly twice the percentage seen about 30 years ago.

If you could steal one marketing idea from another brand, what would you take?

Not their product or logo, just one thing they do really well. It could be how they use Instagram, how they talk to customers, their TikTok content, their email marketing, or even the way they handle negative comments.

Which brand would you borrow from, and what would you copy?

What is the most efficient way to manage multiple social media calendars (with approvals track?)

Hey guys! Our agency took on a few new clients recently (12 brands total). Up until now, we’ve been hacking together Notion boards and Google Sheets, but it’s completely falling apart.

We tried testing a few schedulers, but they dump all our accounts into one massive feed and now it's too easy to post to the wrong brand. We're playing around with Planable and Hootsuite right now, but we're still trying to figure out the best overall workflow.

So what is the most efficient way to manage multiple social media calendars?

Appreciate your support!

The Death of Social Media & SEO

THE DEATH OF SOCIAL MEDIA.
Yeah. I said it.
And before you come after me, understand something:
I have more than 1,600 NYC social media clients.
Across those businesses, we generate an average of 10,000–15,000 views a day per client per each social platform.
I know social media works.
I also know where it stops working.
Social media is phenomenal at making you famous.
It can put your face, your food, your brand, your business, and your story in front of thousands of people every single day.
But here’s the uncomfortable truth:
Views don't pay the rent.
Attention isn't the same thing as intent.
A person scrolling TikTok who sees your restaurant is entertained.
A person opening Google Maps and searching:
“best bagels near me”
is looking for somewhere to spend money.
That distinction is enormous.
And AI is creating another layer of high-intent discovery.
Someone asks AI:
“Where should I get the best bagel in Midtown?”
That isn't a passive impression.
That's a potential customer asking for a recommendation.
I've watched this play out in my own businesses.
I have six bagel shops.
We see roughly 900 valued guests per day at each location.
Approximately 98% of those customers come through Google Maps.
The other 2% are AI referrals.
Not TikTok.
Not Instagram.
Not Facebook.
Not YouTube.
Google Maps and AI.
And here's the part that hurts:
I have built a business around social media.
I have clients generating millions of impressions.
And I've had to tell those clients something that could literally cost me serious money:
Stop spending so much time and money chasing organic social media.
That's me potentially shooting myself in the foot.
But I'd rather lose revenue telling the truth than make money selling something I don't believe is moving the needle.
Social media isn't useless.
It's just being asked to do a job it was never designed to do.
Social media makes you famous.
Google Maps makes you findable.
AI makes you recommended.
And increasingly…
Google Maps + AI make you money.
The next generation of local marketing isn't going to be about who can get the most views.
It's going to be about who gets recommended when someone is ready to buy.
That's a very different game.
And if you're still measuring your marketing success primarily by likes, followers and views…
you may be winning the attention game while losing the money game.
The tombstone is already carved.
The Death of Social Media.
Long live Google Maps and AI.
Social Media will make you famous
Google maps with make you money!
