Popular Podcast Episodes For Professional Organizers
192 | Social Media For Professional Organizers: Real Talk!
One of the most popular topics we cover is social media for professional organizers—how to use it, when to use it, why to use it. There are a lot of misperceptions about how social could or should be used in our business—and, in my opinion, way too much emphasis on it as a way to get clients! This is an episode you don’t want to miss if you are looking for tips about social or are looking for permission to do it a lot less—or even if you love it. This episode is for EVERYONE!
