Now let's jump into the episode. I don't care about having

even one more new follower. Why do I need another one? I don't know the people who are following me.

People want to consume less. We don't want to spend as much time on social. So we want to follow less.

How many people do you follow and look at all their content? I think the biggest trend is community.

Your community doesn't have to be

large for you to be able to survive in a social media recession. You could create a real business

with under 500. Whatever platform you're on, that's the move. If you've been noticing that

your views are going down, your engagement, your likes are going down, you're not alone. Everything

is changing in social media. There's a lot of trends

that are dead and they just do not work anymore. And there's a lot of new things that you need

to know if you ultimately want to not just grow your following, but grow your business, generate

sales and make an impact in more people's lives. So today we have Shaline Johnson back on the Think Media podcast.

She's a New York Times bestselling author, the founder and creator of the Marketing Impact

Academy. And she's going to be dropping some free game about how to get your social media

right now. Shaline, how's it going? Dude, how do you do that without notes? Like,

you just riff that. You are a unicorn. I mean, I got lucky, but I also, I mean, I've known you now.

It's like eight, nine years. Yeah. We're coming up on our decade. Wow. We should throw a party.

We should throw a party. Yeah. Like a vow renewal.

That would be awesome.
