Hiring a Social Media Manager is a WASTE of Money (Here's What to Do Instead)
For years, business owners have been told they need to post more, engage more, and spend more time on social media.
But what if that's the wrong strategy?
In this episode of Show Up Better, CJ Williams shares why he believes many business owners are wasting time, energy, and money chasing social media metrics that rarely translate into real business growth.
Drawing from his experience as a business owner, content producer, and podcast creator, CJ breaks down three reasons why relying heavily on social media may be keeping you stuck in a cycle of constant content creation without lasting results.
You'll learn:
Why social media posts have an incredibly short lifespan
The "feast or famine" problem created by content-driven lead generation
Why likes, followers, and engagement don't automatically lead to sales
How search engines, websites, and long-form content create lasting authority
Why being discoverable matters more than being visible
The difference between entertainment content and authority-building content
If you've ever wondered whether all that time spent posting is actually worth it, this episode will challenge the way you think about content marketing.
Key Takeaways
✅ Social media content is temporary.
✅ Engagement is not the same as revenue.
✅ Businesses need discoverability, not just visibility.
✅ Search traffic often converts better than social traffic.
✅ Long-form content compounds over time.
✅ Authority comes from being found when people need you.

Fraud-casters vs. Podcasters: Who Truly Respects the Medium?
The dichotomy between the so-called "fraud-casters" and legitimate podcasters is the focal point of our discourse today. Fraud-casters are individuals who embark on the endeavor of creating podcasts without possessing a genuine understanding or appreciation for the medium; they often fail to engage with existing podcasts and neglect the fundamental elements that constitute a true podcast, such as an RSS feed. In contrast, authentic podcasters invest time in not only producing content but also in immersing themselves in the intricate dynamics of audio storytelling and audience engagement. I draw from personal experiences and observations within the podcasting landscape to elucidate the significance of valuing the listening experience, which is paramount for anyone aspiring to host a podcast. Ultimately, this discussion serves as a clarion call for those entering the podcasting realm to cultivate a deeper respect for the craft, ensuring that their contributions are both meaningful and enriching to the listening community. A profound exploration of the distinctions between the terms 'fraud-caster' and 'podcaster' reveals critical insights into the integrity and authenticity of the podcasting medium. The dialogue elucidates how individuals who aspire to host podcasts, yet possess no genuine engagement with the medium, undermine its value. This discourse posits that true podcasters exhibit a deep respect for the auditory experience, investing time in both consuming and creating content that resonates with listeners. The episode further examines the concept of the fraud-caster, individuals who may produce visuals and claim to host podcasts without providing an authentic audio experience or an RSS feed, thereby diluting the essence of what a podcast ought to be. The discussion highlights the necessity of understanding the podcasting landscape, emphasizing that aspiring hosts must appreciate the nuances of the genre to contribute meaningfully to the community.
Takeaways:
The distinction between a 'fraud-caster' and a legitimate podcaster is crucial in understanding the podcasting landscape.
A true podcaster engages deeply with the medium, having a genuine appreciation for the audio experience and its nuances.
Individuals who aspire to host podcasts must first be avid listeners to grasp the format and structure effectively.
The importance of an RSS feed cannot be overstated; without it, one cannot claim to be producing an authentic podcast.
Visuals alone do not constitute a podcast; the essence lies in the audio experience that resonates with the audience.
Engagement with listeners is paramount; podcasting should foster habits that encourage regular consumption and interaction.
