Firstly, unless you're an experienced social media marketer, you don't have the skills to determine whether or not the YouTube video or blog is any good – or whether it will work for you and your circumstances.
Secondly, there are a lot of videos and blogs out there. The content is often contradictory, relates to only one specific industry or goes out of date quickly. In all likelihood, you'll end up even more overwhelmed, frustrated, and confused.
And finally, scouring YouTube and blogs is a piecemeal approach. Even if you have all the ingredients, if you do it in the wrong order, the meal doesn't taste any good.
Yes, you need to invest in a subscription to the SMC platform, however it's quick, convenient and immediately applicable.
It’s taught by social media experts who live and breathe social media marketing – not someone who has had success in their industry, and therefore thinks the same strategy will work for everyone.
But most importantly, SMC will help you define a clear and actionable social media strategy and stop ‘chasing rainbows’. Copying strategies on YouTube and blogs often means you change strategies every six to eight weeks, burning up cash and time. Instead, we’ll help you get laser-beam-focused and have the conviction to follow through.
