Is Social Media Marketing Dead? How to Build Your Thought Leadership on LinkedIn with Brenda Meller [Ep. 66]
Description
We’ve all felt it, right? Engagement on Instagram dropping… Facebook groups quieter than ever… TikTok feeling like a full-time job.
So is social media marketing… dead? 👀
In this episode, I sit down with Brenda Meller, LinkedIn coach and author of Social Media Pie, to talk about why LinkedIn may just be the most powerful platform for building thought leadership and attracting clients in 2025.
Inside, we dive into:
✨ The real state of social media marketing today (and why most platforms are harder to grow on than ever)
✨ Why LinkedIn is the last “organic reach goldmine” for entrepreneurs and service providers
✨ How to grow your thought leadership and personal brand without feeling salesy or spammy
✨ Brenda’s top tips for making LinkedIn fun, strategic, and aligned with your business goals
If you’ve been spinning your wheels on Instagram or posting into the void on Facebook, this conversation will give you hope, clarity, and a game plan.
