Loren Weisman Quotes

“An effective content strategy has to mix your authenticity, your story & your authority mixed with the shares of other peoples content.

If you're only sharing other peoples stories, authority, authenticity & brands, how does that make any new or old visitors want to connect with yours?

And, only reposting without sharing why you chose to share it & what your thoughts are on that content creates zero connection to you and for you.”

“An add is not an introduction.

Neither is a like, a share, a comment or a follow.

Or are they also delivering messages of authenticity, authority and education?

So where is the honor and transparency there?”

Messaging before marketing…

And engaging before selling.”
