A few things I have seen -
1. It's quite difficult to generate early engagement when the brand is small. Especially creating organic content & personal outreach takes a lot of time.
2. Paid ads are often unreliable, firstly they are pretty expensive and it's difficult to convert the visibility.
3. Scaling is extremely hectic. Managing DMs and capturing all the behaviour intents to target them with the right them at the right time.
Do you work in social media marketing? What are the biggest problems according to you - especially for Insta?
