Managing social media manually is a full-time job. I was spending 6 hours a day posting, responding, and analyzing. Then I discovered automation...
🚨 The Manual Posting Trap
- • 10 platforms × 3 posts/day = 30 posts
- • 5 minutes per post = 2.5 hours daily
- • Add engagement = 4+ hours daily
- • That's 28 hours per week!
