Successful real estate investor and sales trainer, Grant Cardone said, “Obscurity is the biggest problem in social media. It’s bigger than money. It’s bigger than which social platform you use. Remember one thing: You cannot over post. Post across three to five mediums. 

Beat them up. Vary your content. Make sure you know your brand and your purpose and push that until people hate you. Criticism is a surefire sign of success. Get out of obscurity; you need to get known and get people paying attention to you. People can’t pay who they don’t know.”
