*️⃣ It’s time to face it: the social media landscape is in chaos. Between the upheaval at Twitter, allegations of espionage by TikTok, and never-ending algorithm changes, the future of social seems very uncertain. Platforms are losing followers and even if you have built a large follower base, it’s likely that most of those users aren’t even seeing your posts. But don’t despair! In this course, you’ll learn how to harness the power of more effective library marketing tools: email, blogs, and your staff. Get practical, up-to-the-minute advice for building an audience using your owned properties. Find out how to deliver irresistible content to maximize your reach without spending all day on promotions (unless you want to!).
