108: Why We Suggest You Dump “Social Media Content Dumps” in the Bin
Content dumps - dump by name, dump by nature. We are not fans of content dumps at all and mainly that’s because they just don’t make much sense! If you’re going to put in the hard work creating 30 new posts, why drop them all in one day, then vanish to never be seen again (until the next dump, that is). How, then, do you handle it if your client wants to jump on the trend and asks you to do a dump? Well, we’re covering all in this episode, so if you’re feeling bored enough with your content to want to try something drastic, tune in now!
In this episode, we’re chatting about:
Why we think content dumps are a silly way of posting on social mediaWhat is even leading people to want to do content dumpsHow to respond if your client asks you to do a dump for them… 😳What else you can be trying out instead of dumping your content
