Episode 180: Automate Your Lead Generation with our FREE online course: https://go.digitaltrailblazer.com/auto-leads-course-free

Many online business owners waste time chasing viral social media growth through "algorithm hacks" and automation tools, only to see their accounts shadow-banned or their content buried. These tactics often backfire, damaging their reputation and limiting their reach when they need visibility most to grow their business.

In this episode, Tim O'Hearn teaches us why most algorithm-beating strategies no longer work and what actually drives sustainable growth. Drawing from his experience building Instagram automation tools and later designing social media algorithms, he explains what social media platforms allow and tolerate, what activities can help you grow, which are harmful, and how platforms detect automated behavior.

Most importantly, he reveals why focusing on your core business craft - rather than social media tricks - is the key to long-term success.
