But with so many options to reach people, it’s easy to become overwhelmed and unsure of where to focus your efforts. Join Sarah McDavis for this webinar where we will talk about finding the best place for you on social media, pitfalls to avoid when posting, why having an email list is important, and the number one mistake people make with their list.
