How to Build an Integrated Social, Digital Platform that Works Even When You’re Not

When it comes to digital marketing and social media too many people throw spaghetti technology at the internet walls and then wonder why nothing sticks, why they have zero revenue and are working 24 hours a day.

We all have the same 24 hours in the day. Wishing you had more time to do what you need to do is not a strategy for success in life or business. Finding a path that enables you to live the life you dream and get your business on the path to massive success doesn't happen over night. You are going to need to roll up your sleeves and get to work.

The truth is you need to slow down to speed up. You need to quit chasing shiny objects. You need to build yourself an integrated platform that works when you are not working. Leveraging your knowledge and reducing time spent to do such is the key to success.

Building a platform that works when you are not working enables you to quit trading time for money.

To do such you must set goals, architect it for integration vs silos, integrate the right technologies that support your business goals and more.

In this episode of the Social Zoom Factor podcast I share 15 Tips to build an integrated online marketing platform that works when you are not working!
