253: Planning a Social Media Detox? How Shanna Skidmore is Marketing Her Business WITHOUT Chasing the Instagram Algorithm

Have you ever wondered if you could run your business without Instagram? Thinking about a social media detox? How much time would you get back? How would it affect things like your revenue, your website traffic, and your overall visibility as a business owner? What other marketing tools would you use instead of social media? As someone who uses Instagram a lot in my marketing, I'm like the rest of us in that I have desired to throw in the towel from time to time, especially after moments like creating a reel that takes an hour to make and then feeling like it did nothing at all for your business. Raise your hand if you've ever been there. So whether you want to try no Instagram for a few months, no Instagram in your business permanently, or even if you're just like, “Hey, I want to be on this app less and not rely on it so much for my marketing”, this episode is for you. I'm chatting with the wonderful Shannon Skidmore who I just absolutely adore and she opens up a TON about exactly what it looked like for her to be off Instagram since 2017 (while still running a business with a podcast, courses, consulting, and all the things).Shanna really has it figured out when it comes to what it looks like to REALLY break up with Instagram. And if you don't know Shanna, she's a former Fortune 100 financial advisor, turned business consultant educator and international speaker with clients and students in more than 26 countries. I can’t wait for you to hear her on the podcast today!Links Mentioned:- Read the full shownotes: https://elizabethmccravy.com/253 - Watch the Episode on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prLw0wnGRY0- Grab The Profitability Playbook: https://shannaskidmore.com/playbook - Listen to Consider the Wildflowers (Elizabeth is on #43!): https://shannaskidmore.com/elizabeth-mccravy/ - Connect with Elizabeth on Instagram: https://instagram.com/elizabethmccravy - Check Out Shanna’s Website: https://shannaskidmore.com/ - Get on the waitlist for Podcast Success Blueprint: https://elizabethmccravy.com/psb - Shop Elizabeth McCravy Templates: https://elizabethmccravy.com/shop Take the Website Personality Quiz at https://elizabethmccravy.com/quiz to get your FREE Canva templates, 10% off of your website template, a free month of Showit, and a full brand profile for your business!
