The one your going to run into, over and over again is these people that slam your business on Yelp, Google Reviews, Yahoo Reviews, that never approached you in person to resolve an issue with your business. They are out there and they will write some bad posts and there is basically nothing you can do about it but find a way to respond to the posts online. To counter that, the best advice I can give is to have an ongoing survey running inside your business in exchange for a small future discount or free item. With that you will typically have a running barometer of your business and can tell some of the fake complaints based on time / date.

Construction of marketing funnels and linking into automation. That being said my second problem is with marketers who don't know the real extent of what this takes or the importance of content tilts in different verticals in regards to high ticket conversions. Frustrating...

All of it! I'm taking a course on Marketing right now, through Digital Art Live (I'm an artist and writer), and the questions we had to answer for homework were brutal! I just don't think that way. So, having to turn my brain around to start to understand the current market is HARD! I have to say, a lot of it is fear. Fear that people will hate me and the work that I am trying to do. That they will think that I'm pushing my products down their throat. That they will call me out as being a fake/imposter. It's all hard. Shoot, I have a book out now under a pen name and it has 1 sale. I have stories out under my real name and have made a total of $30 in the last 7 YEARS on 4 books total...Yeah...social marketing sucks. LOL.

I had a hard time getting my small business noticed on social media. What really worked for me was posting regularly and replying to comments and DMs fast. It made people trust my brand more. I also teamed up with other small businesses for shoutouts, which helped a lot.

Plus, boosting my socials gave me a good push. I bought some likes for my Insta, and it got me more real followers quickly. If you're struggling to get noticed, check out https://runlikes.com/ for some extra help.
