Description
Do you believe that engagement is the most important thing when it comes to your social media content?
Well, despite what you may have been told, it’s not.
In this episode of the Powerful Content Podcast, Mel Daniels challenges the common belief that social media engagement is the most critical metric for business success.
She argues that while engagement—likes, comments, shares—is often touted by experts and algorithms, it does not necessarily translate to increased clients and revenue. Focusing on these 'vanity metrics' can distract from creating a holistic content strategy that leads potential clients through a journey to conversion.
The episode includes insights on why seeking validation through engagement is misleading, highlights the low engagement rates of successful businesses, and encourages a shift towards metrics that reflect meaningful actions, such as landing page visits, downloads, and sales. Mel also announces her upcoming masterclass, ‘Clicks to Clients,’ aimed at providing strategies to create content that converts. Tune in to learn why it's time to move beyond social media engagement and focus on what truly drives business growth.
