Most side hustlers are looking for ways to grow their impact on social media...we want more followers, more likes, more shares - and ultimately more paying customers.

However, the majority of us are using social media all wrong. We treat it like a billboard instead of a conversation. We have taken the social out of social media.

In this episode, Drew Small, owner of BRDDG, a digital marketing agency based in Nashville, Tennessee, shares organic social media growth strategies that he has used to help clients gain almost 2 million followers and over 100 million impressions in 2023 alone.

The interview is taken from a previous discussion that I had with Drew for my other podcast, The Book Your Band Podcast and has been edited (with Drew's permission) to share on After School Empire. Although the original context of our discussion was how musicians can grow their following online, the strategies discussed also apply to teacher hustlers who want to grow their reach on social media.
