And it’s even more complex for businesses. Your audience might be right there … but you’ve gotta fight with algorithms to maybe be seen by them.
Whether you want to abandon Facebook altogether or just want to take a month off LinkedIn, it is possible to have a thriving business without social dependence.
This podcast is all about finding creative, sustainable ways to engage with your audience … without needing to lipsync, send cold DMs, run ads or be available 24/7.
there are hundreds of alternatives
that might be less time consuming and better for your mental health
including but not limited to …

word-of-mouth referral generation
joint partnerships
community building
content marketing
pursuing curiosity
Hey! I’m Meg, host of Social Slowdown.
As the founder of Love At First Search, an SEO agency for brilliant & ambitious online entrepreneurs, I’ve talked to hundreds of business owners want to minimize their reliance on social media. So many of my conversations start with,
“I’m not sure what to do next, but I’m so tired of social media. I wish I could escape the grind, but I’m too scared to shut it down!”
Some of those folks are a good fit for SEO, and I’m happy to help them … but it’s not a fit for everyone. So I found myself regular sending referrals to experts using different marketing strategies.
And I recognized that plenty of entrepreneurs could benefit from this info, but don’t have access to my rolodex of amazing strategists. So I’m taking those conversations public in the Social Slowdown podcast.
I’ll also bring experience from running my own marketing business, where I’ve honed my chops & paid my dues by serving …

paid students
years in biz

you don’t have to be available online 24/7 to be successful.
you can choose to close the laptop and do something you love, without nonstop fomo.
And I’ll be hear to support you on the exploration to find a way to market your business and fulfill your goals … while still having time to have a life.
Yes, it’s ok to eat dinner every night with your family, tend to your garden, go to that Tuesday morning yoga class, volunteer in your kids classroom, or read 132 books in a year. I do all these things and run a growing business.
It’s possible to have a life outside your work, I swear. It just requires you to be intentional in your choices.
