    Let me guess… You hired a 20-something to “run” your social media marketing because they had a successful TikTok account and knew what Hootsuite was? You said yes, and turned over the keys to the millennial. (brace-for-impact)

    Now, you’re worse off than before because, unironically,bad social mediadecisions ARE MUCH WORSE than NO SOCIAL MEDIA. (yes, we went all caps on you)

    You've wandered off into the social media wilderness with no supplies, no experience, and no preparation. You are officially Lost, Dazed, Confused, and very Frustrated? It all sucks, no one is calling, ordering, or going viral and the new-hire 20yr old TikTok plan isn't working.Lucky for you, we can fix it!

    Breathe, Let's get started!

    You're probably making at least some, if not all, of these mistakes so:

    STOP DOING THESE 10 THINGS RIGHT NOW (yes all caps again with bold, Eeek!):
