Did you know that your dog photos might be sabotaging your business’s social media success?

In this eye-opening episode of Thrive LouD with Lou Diamond, host Lou Diamond sits down with Lindsay Anderson—CEO of the BAM Agency, best-selling author, and powerhouse social media sales strategist—to uncover the subtle mistakes business owners make on social media that tank their authority (even when their engagement is skyrocketing).

Key Highlights:

• Influencer vs. Business Owner: Lindsay reveals why focusing on one social platform—where your ideal customers actually hang out—beats spreading yourself thin trying to “be everywhere.”
• The Engagement Trap: Learn why your most-liked posts (think dogs, babies, and memes) may have nothing to do with monetizing your brand, and what kind of content actually builds trusted authority (even if it gets fewer likes).
• Cracking the Algorithm: Hear actionable tips to ensure YOUR content slices through the noise—even up against viral trends that dominate today’s feeds.
• Consistency that Pays: Discover Lindsay’s secret rhythm for posting, batching, and showing up—so you gain traction without burning out.
• Personal Brand vs. Podcast Promotion: Get clear guidance on whether to separate accounts for your podcast, business, and personal brand, plus how to strategically streamline your efforts.
