ah, social media…
Social media networks are fantastic… until they’re not.
.
Social media can help you reach new customers, get more visibility and get more sales for your shop. On a personal level, it can also be a great source of inspiration and motivation.
.
But there’s a dark side to it all: getting sucked into it too much and wasting time, energy and losing productivity, comparing yourself to others and feeling less than great about it, problematic or unconsiderate comments, etc.
.
In this episode, we talk about setting boundaries both on a professional and personal level with social media so that you can get the benefits of it – with as little drawbacks as possible.
