omg your way to hustle is amazing, i felt also strong anxiety in this gary vee hustle method, i think everyone has a different way to hustle and there is not only one way to achieve it

Thank you, Mai! That means so much to hear that from you. Yes, if hustle means "work hard doing what I love" then of course I want to hustle! But if hustle is all about grinding away 20+ hours a day... then count me out.

This tip still relevant in 2024?

Damn I wish this video was an hour long. I just made the decision this week to do exactly what you are doing now. I realized that posting everyday on social media was a complete waste of time and got mad at myself allowing myself to waste that much time and energy "trying" that method. I am now going straight for AD's and focusing on creating REAL value instead of trying to fit all of my knowledge on Facebook and IG posts that people just overlook because its "FREE" Girl I could do an entire rant right now but THANK YOU FOR BEING REAL AND POSTING THIS

I’m an introvert as well and I just don’t want to be on social media everyday. It’s great to know that that’s not the only way to make it

I’m not a fan of social media but it seems perfect for introverts. Why ? Because you don’t really interact with people, it’s done online 😂. It’s still social I get it, but if anything social media is just annoying, not anti-introvert. And I’m an introvert.

I have to agree on this. If you are a new marketer or blogger you have to understand that social media has the lowest ROI! You don't have any idea how much time you'll waste in social media for nothing. For me, my blog's traffic and my income grew when I stopped using social media for months and then focused my time on SEO and creating awesome content. So base on my experience, sorry but social media is not that effective anymore, focus your limited time to something else. If you're a blogger, learn SEO! 😉😊

As a marketer, I think social media marketing is an add-on to your business; it’s not the main function. Social media is to engage with people and use those relationships to turn into real revenue via your website.

But what about ppl who gain Money through Instagram?

Honestly getting off SM in general is a great play. It's just another empty drug.

I mean you definitely didn't quit social media, but definitely gives me a new place to work from.

Needing social media has been the roadblock to starting my business. I found it to be such a time drain that I've been off of FB for a year and I don't want to go back! Thanks for the encouragement. For communications, I have just replaced FB with Telegram. Wish me luck!

This was great, Gillian! You're totally right -- you can spend a TON of time on social media and see very little return. It's better to provide your audience with HIGH VALUE free content and invest your time/money in promoting that. Thanks for this!

Wow. Relief! Thank you. As an extreme introvert, this plan resonates so much better with me that what I've been forcing myself to do. I feel so burned out on social media! I've already created videos, blogs, etc. that I can promote on fb. Thank you!

Golden stuff Gillian. I'm not at the point where i'm selling a product, but I can contest by focusing on KZread only i've been able to have success. I do not try to do daily posts on Twitter or facebook. I've seen others try this, but it appears to fail. The key to initial success is pure focus. Thanks for sharing these awesome tips.

YES! I'm sooo happy I found you... im an introvert and digital marketer... I am living on fb right now and getting nowhere...super frustrating!

I'm a new sub. Glad you mentioned you are an Introvert! Fellow female introvert here and I'm struggling with video production/getting my personality across. Sending the energy out! Great videos. Thanks.

Thank you so much.. I've been in a huge need of this advice. I'm downloading your guide right now!!!

Excellent advice. Thank you for posting this. It makes more sense for what I seek to do as opposed to following the idea of relying on free social media.

You’ve just told my story! I have a whole new plan now. Going to your playbook now.

Thanks Gillian , helpful advise here . I share your sentiments on the Gary V hustle mentality. Life is a beautiful gift to be enjoyed everyday by making an income from what we love and are passionate about. That way we take better care of the earth and those around us. I love your content - being following you for over a year now and I agree your content is definitely high quality , well thought out and I come away wiser each time I listen to you.

Just deactivated a very busy personal facebook page to focus on business pages! my new personal FB account has 140 friends from 3100+. Its been two weeks and I see so much difference! More time to acquire skills, started my blog and doing more research! Wooray!!!

Thanks for sharing this! Too much social media was never my cup of tea.

I am happy you found what was right for you!! Hope this video inspires others to follow their OWN heart.

I can really relate to this. I try to promote my business on social media all the time, but I'm not really making any money because of it. Thank you for your thoughts!

Ah! At last, the video I've been wanting see! Social media is definitely not for everyone. Thank you, Gillian!

Well said. Another thing I've learned about Social Media (which is another reason I don't use it anymore) is that because it's free, you are limited to THEIR terms of use and such, instead of paying for a webiste (which is NOT expensive if you do your homework) and NOT being limited to what and how you post. Great video! Thank you for sharing this!

Thank you SO MUCH. Social Media Marketing makes me so anxious and doesn't give me any results. I'd been overthinking this for so long. Bless you

Great Video Gillian. I just subscribed to your channel. This video was great becauuuuuse my goodness social media is time-consuming. I'm starting a jewelry business and will be looking into other sources of income so that I can work from home full time as well. Keep up the great work!

Wow, did you ad lib that? I know it's edited but still... amazing talent. Also candid, honest and spot on.

I realised that there is a lot of mainstream advice on many topics in the whole business world that people follow, but it only makes sense that one size can't fit all. I slowly start to understand that. And it's all up to us - what should and shouldn' work. If I don't feel right to post on social media 5 times a week - then I don't have to. There are other ways to reach people. I used to be consumed in doing something that I though I should - only to find that it's not sustainable if I don't like it. I personally need to raise my following for a crowdfunding campaign, but I am going to seek ways to do it without spending hours on preparing posts. The same unconventional way of thinking in opposition to traditional accounting system I found in the book Profit First - and again found it so liberating that if something doesn't feel right - it's probably not right for you.

Thanks for this helpful video you made.Its very interesting the changes you made to your business and how you succinctly describe them.There was a fly in your video earlier buzzing by.

I was working at a marketing company a few years back in London and was managing one of Kellogg's accounts and its social media. But I was told the social media promotion budget had been stopped for the rest of the year and although there was still a budget for actually making the Instagram image ads and videos - the marketing manager at Kellogg's completely stopped the ads. It wasn't worth making them unless they could put money behind promoting the ads. I know they are a big company with big targets/sales - but the same applies for both small and big on social media.

That's great, may I also say, by looking at your other recommended videos on the right that you have nice varied topics, so I subbed.

Hey Gillian, great stuff, thanks! BTW, your funnel link isn't live, at least on my page, so I had to copy and paste it in a new window.

I like this strategy! Thanks for making this video

You are so right! Sometimes it's a very happy coincidence to gain followers and sponsorships from free social media presence, but that just doesn't seem to work for me especially when there is a huge influx of bloggers of all types! Sometimes a little paid push is needed. Trying FB campaigns now with the help of your FB ads video because I finally have workshops to sell! :)

Instead, they usually prefer to chat, watch videos etc there. So, I am looking for a proper way/platform, to circulate my Affiliate links in an effective way to get benefited.

Ambitious introvert and Empath here! Facebook ads do work, your friends and family will literally do nothing for you. Grow your business always outside people you know personally and one day they will stumble upon you and can ask you about your business later.. build funnels, fb ads, that's really good info. I'm an author so I will use all my ads for selling my upcoming travel adventures, spiritual fictional books and self help books. Fb ads is a great way to build a list.

Totally get what you are saying about being an overachieving intravert and the grid of social media.

Gillian Perkins, loved the video. I noticed the link was inactive for the funnel. Did I miss the opportunity?

Hi Gillian, thanks for making this video! When you say you're an "ambitious introvert" that resonates with me. I am an ambitious, introverted photographer, and I know the idea of starting a biz online without FB or IG would be laughed at. I'm still deciding what type of social media to use. But my question is: don't I need an FB pg to advertise on FB? If so would that pg not need to be updated frequently? Love your channel and useful advice!

Makes so much sense!

Hi Gillian. This is a very interesting video of yours, in which you have explained the difference between social media marketing and other types of online earning clearly. I am quite glad that you did this video, as I think it will be very much beneficial to me in the long run. I work for product based and service based companies in India and do network marketing as a "side business" or hobby. I kept on watching videos made by dozens of other people on public speaking skills on KZread, however, none of them turned out to be as effective as this video of yours, I think. I request you to do some more videos on substantiating the difference between social media marketing and other forms of online income frequently, so that I and many other people who are into these things get benefitted from it. Once again, many thanks for your video and pls keep videoing!!

I totally agree with you, I say the same thing to my colleagues. The impressive thing is that you were saying this in 2017, when Facebook was still relatively friendly

Awesome awesome awesome advice. Thank you.

I feel like I stubbled onto this at the exactly right time.

There is so much that is cool about this video. First, you are sharing the things that didn't work at first. And, now when I see your videos, they look so polished and together that it's hard to imagine that your back story is like the ones so many of us have when we start. That is, we are trying to find what works, and there are SO many choices, and so many voices telling us what works for them, that it can just. . . be. . . bewildering. But the key thing is, and you point this out so well, you have to keep trying stuff. You can't give up, you've got to just, well, try different things. Push through the obstacles. And then you find, wow, something is working. Cool! I've had several successful businesses (not online but working on one now) and all of them have gone through this struggle. It's like a maze, right? You have to find your way through the danged thing. Anyway, great job. Again.
