Today's guest is Stephanie Weekes, founder of @stephgetssocial. She's a freelance social media manager -- but what does that mean? We dug into her role, including what she can do for you - from shooting the content to checking analytics - and how it works, because we know so many people dream of outsourcing social media. We also talked about the joy of social media, keeping the 'social' aspect of it, and how important fostering community is. So, even if you're not in a place to consider outsourcing your social media, or maybe you don't want to...Steph's gorgeous take on how to use all the platforms is like a warm hug, and we think you'll love this ep.
