- In order to see tangible results from advertising, it’s best to do some sort of training so your level of understanding increases and you don’t waste a ton of money trying to learn on the fly
- Social media is all about engagement. If your post doesn’t get sufficient engagement in the first hour, the party’s over and the platform’s algorithm won’t push your post to any new people
- Embracing the digital economy is to embrace change. The platforms and the approaches through which you succeed on said platforms will continue to change and evolve as you move forward with your brand. Stay nimble!

– Share – a level higher than Comment
– Save – the highest level
– If you don’t get a healthy amount of engagement in the first hour, it’s over
