Ep 224 | Is it Time to Break Up with Social Media? Why Sandy Cooper Left Social and What She Does Instead
Hey Winner,
On average, we spend at least 2 hours a day on social media, mindlessly scrolling through others’ lives. If you own a business, that could be dramatically higher because you’ve been told you have to be on there marketing your business all the time.
For me, it was a time suck and not very life-giving, which is why I determined it was time to take a step back and not rely on it. The only thing I do there is nurture my free Facebook community, Simplicity and Motherhood. Otherwise, I don’t post and I don’t scroll.
But my friend and bestselling author Sandy Cooper is even more strict than I when it comes to social media. She’s not on it – at all. And guess what? Her business is still thriving. She didn’t miss a beat when she chose to turn it off.
So I wanted to bring her on today to share a bit of her story and have her give us some insights on what she’s doing instead to grow and nurture her audience because it’s working! Maybe this conversation will be the tipping point for you making a change in how you’re using social media for your life or business. I know you’re not going to want to miss it, so let’s dive in!
Rooting for you ~ Gabe
