290. The Truth About Going Viral (And Why We Don't Chase It)

What if the post you almost didn't publish ended up making you more money than your viral reel ever could? In this episode, Emma challenges one of the biggest misconceptions in social media marketing: that more views automatically means more sales. Viral content is great for visibility, but attention alone doesn't generate revenue. Sustainable growth comes from creating content that builds trust, attracts the right audience, and inspires action.  You'll learn the critical difference between vanity metrics and conversion metrics, why entertaining content serves a different purpose than sales-focused content, and how to evaluate whether your marketing is actually moving people closer to becoming customers. If you've ever wondered why high-performing content isn't translating into sales, this conversation will help you build long-term success and create a marketing strategy that prioritizes meaningful results over reactions.   Listen in as Emma explains: Why conversion metrics matter more than views or followers The three questions every business should ask before publishing content How to create a social media strategy focused on long-term growth   And much, much more!   🔗Links & Resources: Ready to get your time back + outsource your social media?
