Is Social Media Your Own Personal Energy Vampire?

Social Media Time-Savers for Coaches & Consultants

Is social media your own personal energy vampire?
Same.

And then, if you start avoiding it, the guilt and FOMO creep in. You start thinking:

“Maybe my business would be doing better if I only spent more time on social media.”

So you dive back in… and the cycle continues.

Here’s what I think:

  • Data shows people buy based on know, like, and trust.
  • Social media helps people know you and remember you exist.
  • But Like (an emotion!) and Trust are what actually drive decisions.

A 2023 study found that almost 70% of Americans admit emotions influence their spending (hint: Like = emotion!).
And a 2024 study showed trust is highly correlated with purchase intent.

So how do we build Like and Trust?

I believe the BEST way is through long-form content:

  • Your blog
  • Your podcast
  • Videos
  • Or a newsletter just like this one!

But where do we find the time to do it all?

Great question — and I’ve got a great answer.
