Social media is powerful—but it’s also misunderstood. For small business owners, entrepreneurs, and even experienced marketers, there are still a few persistent myths floating around that can derail your strategy before it starts.
Let’s clear the air.
Sure, you can post for free—but that doesn’t mean there’s no cost.
Great content requires time, skill, and intention. Whether you're brainstorming, designing, writing, or scheduling, your time is money—and social media eats it up fast if you’re not strategic.
And if you want real reach? Paid ads, boosted posts, and influencer partnerships all require budget. Even solopreneurs need to weigh the opportunity cost: Is managing your Instagram really worth three hours a day?
Reality Check: Budgeting time and resources (even if it’s just your own!) is key to seeing results.
Posting consistently is important—but it’s not the whole story.
The magic of social media lies in conversation, not just broadcasting. Engagement drives visibility. So if you’re just posting and ghosting? You’re missing the point (and the opportunity).
Like, comment, and share others' content

Ask questions. Start conversations. Be human.
Pro Tip: Social media is not a megaphone—it’s a two-way street. Build community, not just content.
While billions use social media, that doesn’t mean your dream customer is scrolling through Reels at 2 p.m.
Different platforms attract different people. Some niches thrive on TikTok. Others live in Facebook Groups. B2B audiences? LinkedIn is the better bet. And don’t forget: some of your audience may still prefer podcasts, email, YouTube, or even—gasp—print.
Reality Check: Know your audience. Choose your platforms wisely. Meet them where they already are.
Social media isn’t magic—it’s a tool. And like any good tool, it works best with the right strategy, the right message, and a system to help you actually use it well.
