Social Quitting

In “Social Quitting,” my latest Locus Magazine column, I advance a theory to explain the precipitous vibe shift in how many of us view the once-dominant social media platforms, Facebook and Twitter, and how it is that we have so quickly gone asking what we can do to get these services out of our lives to where we should go now that we’re all ready to leave them:

https://locusmag.com/2023/01/commentary-cory-doctorow-social-quitting/

The core of the argument revolves around surpluses — that is, the value that exists in the service. For a user, surpluses are things like “being able to converse with your friends” and “being able to plan activities with your friends.” For advertisers, surpluses are things like “being able to target ads based on the extraction and processing of private user data” and “being able to force users to look at ads before they can talk to one another.”

For the platforms, surpluses are things like, “Being able to force advertisers and business customers to monetize their offerings through the platform, blocking rivals like Onlyfans, Patreon, Netflix, Amazon, etc” and things like “Being able to charge more for ads” and “being able to clone your business customers’ products and then switch your users to the in-house version.”

Platforms control most of the surplus-allocating options. They can tune your feed so that it mostly consists of media and text from people you explicitly chose to follow, or so that it consists of ads, sponsored posts, or posts they think will “boost engagement” by sinking you into a dismal clickhole. They can made ads skippable or unskippable. They can block posts with links to rival sites to force their business customers to transact within their platform, so they can skim fat commissions every time money changes hands and so that they can glean market intelligence about which of their business customers’ products they should clone and displace.

But platforms can’t just allocate surpluses will-ye or nill-ye. No one would join a brand-new platform whose sales-pitch was, “No matter who you follow, we’ll show you other stuff; there will be lots of ads that you can’t skip; we will spy on you a lot.” Likewise, no one would sign up to advertise or sell services on a platform whose pitch was “Our ads are really expensive. Any business you transact has to go through us, and we’ll take all your profits in junk fees. This also lets us clone you and put you out of business.”

Instead, platforms have to carefully shift their surpluses around: first they have to lure in users, who will attract business customers, who will generate the fat cash surpluses that can be creamed off for the platforms’ investors. All of this has to be orchestrated to lock in each group, so that they won’t go elsewhere when the service is enshittified as it processes through its life-cycle.

This is where network effects and switching costs come into play. A service has “network effects” if it gets more valuable as users join it. You joined Twitter to talk to the people who were already using it, and then other people joined so they could talk to you.

“Switching costs” are what you have to give up when you leave a service: if a service is siloed — if it blocks interoperability with rivals — then quitting that service means giving up access to the people whom you left behind. This is the single most important difference between ActivityPub-based Fediverse services like Mastodon and the silos like Twitter and Facebook — you can quit a Fediverse server and set up somewhere else, and still maintain your follows and followers:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/12/23/semipermeable-membranes/#free-as-in-puppies

In the absence of interoperability, network effects impose their own switching cost: the “collective action problem” of deciding when to leave and where to go. If you depend on the people you follow and who follow you — for emotional support, for your livelihood, for community — then the extreme difficulty of convincing everyone to leave at the same time and go somewhere else means that you can be enticed into staying on a service that you no longer enjoy. The platforms can shift the surpluses away from you, provided that doing so makes you less miserable than abandoning your friends or fans or customers would. This is the Fiddler On the Roof problem: everyone stays put in the shtetl even though the cossacks ride through on the reg and beat the shit out of them, because they can’t all agree on where to go if they leave:

https://doctorow.medium.com/how-to-leave-dying-social-media-platforms-9fc550fe5abf

So the first stage of the platform lifecycle is luring in users by allocating lots of surplus to them — making the service fun and great and satisfying to use. Few or no ads, little or no overt data-collection, feeds that emphasize the people you want to hear from, not the people willing to pay to reach you.

This continues until the service attains a critical mass: once it becomes impossible to, say, enroll your kid in a little-league baseball team without having a Facebook account, then Facebook can start shifting its surpluses to advertisers and other business-users of the platform, who will pay Facebook to interpose themselves in your use of the platform. You’ll hate it, but you won’t leave. Junior loves little-league.

Facebook can enshittify its user experience because the users are now locked in, holding each other hostage. If Facebook can use the courts and technological countermeasures to block interoperable services, it can increase its users’ switching costs, producing more opportunities for lucrative enshittification without the risk of losing the users that make Facebook valuable to advertisers. That’s why Facebook pioneered so many legal tactics for criminalizing interoperability:

https://www.eff.org/cases/facebook-v-power-ventures

This is the second phase of the toxic platform life-cycle: luring in business customers by shifting surpluses from users to advertisers, sellers, etc. This is the moment when the platforms offer cheap and easy monetization, low transaction fees, few barriers to off-platform monetization, etc. This is when, for example, a news organization can tease an article on its website with an off-platform link, luring users to click through and see the ads it controls.

Because Facebook has locked in its users through mutual hostage-taking, it can pollute their feeds with lots of these posts to news organizations’ sites, bumping down the messages from its users’ friends, and that means that Facebook can selectively tune how much traffic it gives to different kinds of business customers. If Facebook wants to lure in sports sites, it can cram those sites’ posts into millions of users’ feeds and send floods of traffic to sports outlets.

Outlets that don’t participate in Facebook lose out, and so they join Facebook, start shoveling their content into it, hiring SEO Kremlinologists to help them figure out how to please The Algorithm, in hopes of gaining a permanent, durable source of readers (and thus revenue) for their site.

But ironically, once a critical mass of sports sites are on Facebook, Facebook no longer needs to prioritize sports sites in its users’ feeds. Now that the sports sites all believe that a Facebook presence is a competitive necessity, they will hold each other hostage there, egging each other on to put more things on Facebook, even as the traffic dwindles.

Once sports sites have taken each other hostage, Facebook can claw back the surplus it allocated to them and use it to rope in another sector — health sites, casual games, employment seekers, financial advisors, etc etc. Each group is ensnared by a similar dynamic to the one that locks in the users.

But there is a difference between users’ surpluses and business’s surpluses. A user’s surplus is attention, and there is no such thing as an “attention economy.” You can’t use attention to pay for data-centers, or executive bonuses, or to lobby Congress. Attention is not a currency in the same way that cryptos are not currency — it is not a store of value, nor a unit of exchange, nor or a unit of account.

Turning attention into money requires the same tactics as turning crypto into money — you have to lure in people who have real, actual money and convince them to swap it for attention. With crypto, this involved paying Larry David, Matt Damon, Spike Lee and LeBron James to lie about crypto’s future in order to rope in suckers who would swap their perfectly cromulent “fiat” money for unspendable crypto tokens.

With platforms, you need to bring in business customers who get paid in actual cash and convince them to give you that cash in exchange for ethereal, fast-evaporating, inconstant, unmeasurable “attention.” This works like any Ponzi scheme (that is, it works like cryptos): you can use your shareholders’ cash to pay short-term returns to business customers, losing a little money as a convincer that brings in more trade.

That’s what Facebook did when it sent enormous amounts of traffic to a select few news-sites that fell for the pivot to video fraud, in order to convince their competitors to borrow billions of dollars to finance Facebook’s bid to compete with Youtube:

https://doctorow.medium.com/metaverse-means-pivot-to-video-adbe09319038

This convincer strategy is found in every con. If you go to the county fair, you’ll see some poor bastard walking around all day with a giant teddy bear that he “won” by throwing three balls into a peach-basket. The carny who operated that midway game let him win the teddy precisely so that he would walk around all day, advertising the game, which is rigged so that no one else wins the giant teddy-bear:

https://boingboing.net/2006/08/27/rigged-carny-game.html

Social media platforms can allocate giant teddy-bears to business-customers, and it can also withdraw them at will. Careful allocations mean that the platform can rope in a critical mass of business customers and then begin the final phase of its life-cycle: allocating surpluses to its shareholders.

We know what this looks like.

Or worse, terminating accounts for linking to rival services:

https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2022/12/twitter-suspends-mastodon-account-prevents-sharing-links/

That is, once a platform has its users locked in, and has its business customers locked in, it can enshittify its service to the point of near uselessness without losing either, allocating all the useful surplus in the business to its shareholders.

But this strategy has a problem: users and business customers don’t like to be locked in! They will constantly try to find ways to de-enshittify your service and/or leave for greener pastures. And being at war with your users and business customers means that your reputation continuously declines, because every time a user or business customer figures out a way to claw back some surplus, you have to visibly, obviously enshittify your service wrestle it back.

Every time a service makes headlines for blocking an ad-blocker, or increasing its transaction fees, or screwing over its users or business customers in some other way, it makes the case that the price you pay for using the service is not worth the value it delivers.

In other words, the platforms try to establish an equilibrium where they only leave business customers and users with the absolute bare minimum needed to keep them on the service, and extract the rest for their shareholders. But this is a very brittle equilibrium, because the prices that platforms impose on their users and business customers can change very quickly, even if the platforms don’t do anything differently.

Users and business customers can revalue the privacy costs, or the risks of staying on the platform based on exogenous factors. Privacy scandals and other ruptures can make the cost you’ve been paying for years seem higher than you realized and no longer worth it.

This problem isn’t unique to social media platforms, either. It’s endemic to end-stage capitalism, where companies can go on for years paying their workers just barely enough to survive (or even less, expecting them to get public assistance and/or a side-hustle), and those workers can tolerate it, and tolerate it, and tolerate it — until one day, they stop.

The Great Resignation, Quiet Quitting, the mass desertions from the gig economy — they all prove the Stein’s Law: “Anything that can’t go on forever will eventually stop.”

Same for long, brittle supply-chains, where all the surplus has been squeezed out: concentrating all the microchip production in China and Taiwan, all the medical saline in Puerto Rico, all the shipping into three cartels… This strategy works well, and can be perfectly tuned with mathematical models that cut right to the joint, and they work and they work.

Until they stop. Until covid. Or war. Or wildfires. Or floods. Or interest rate hikes. Or revolution. All this stuff works great until you wake up and discover that the delicate balance between paying for guard labor and paying for a fair society has tilted, and now there’s a mob building a guillotine outside the gates of your luxury compound.

This is the force underpinning collapse: “slow at first, then all at once.” A steady erosion of the failsafes, flensing all the slack out of the system, extracting all the surpluses until there’s nothing left in the reservoir, no reason to stay.

It’s what caused the near-collapse of Barnes and Noble, and while there are plenty of ways to describe James Daunt’s successful turnaround, the most general characterization is, “He has reallocated the company’s surpluses to workers, readers, writers and publishers”:

https://tedgioia.substack.com/p/what-can-we-learn-from-barnes-and

A system can never truly stabilize. This is why utopias are nonsense: even if you design the most perfect society in which everything works brilliantly, it will still have to cope with war and meteors and pandemics and other factors beyond your control. A system can’t just work well, it has to fail well.

This is why I object so strenuously to people who characterize my 2017 novel Walkaway as a “dystopian novel.” Yes, the protagonists are eking out survival amidst a climate emergency and a failing state, but they aren’t giving up, they’re building something new:

https://locusmag.com/2017/06/bruce-sterling-reviews-cory-doctorow/

“Dystopia” isn’t when things go wrong. Assuming nothing will go wrong doesn’t make you an optimist, it makes you an asshole. A dangerous asshole. Assuming nothing will go wrong is why they didn’t put enough lifeboats on the Titanic. Dystopia isn’t where things go wrong. Dystopia is when things go wrong, and nothing can be done about it.

Anything that can’t go on forever will eventually stop. The social media barons who reeled users and business customers into a mutual hostage-taking were confident that their self-licking ice-cream cone — in which we all continued to energetically produce surpluses for them to harvest, because we couldn’t afford to leave — would last forever.

They were wrong. The important thing about the Fediverse isn’t that it’s noncommercial or decentralized — it’s that its design impedes surplus harvesting. The Fediverse is designed to keep switching costs as low as possible, by enshrining the Right Of Exit into the technical architecture of the system. The ability to leave a service without paying a price is the best defense we have against the scourge of enshittification.

Exploring Traditional vs. Digital Marketing: A Comprehensive Comparison

In today's dynamic business world, marketing strategies play a crucial role in shaping brand perception, engaging customers, and achieving organizational goals. Among the myriad approaches available, traditional marketing and digital marketing emerge as two distinct methodologies. This extensive guide aims to delve into the fundamental disparities between these strategies and determine which offers greater long-term benefits for businesses.

Traditional Marketing: An Overview

Traditional marketing encompasses conventional advertising methods that have been utilized for decades to reach audiences. This includes print advertisements, television commercials, radio spots, billboards, and direct mail campaigns. Historically, traditional marketing has been the primary avenue for businesses to promote their products or services to a broad audience.

Digital Marketing: A Modern Frontier

Conversely, digital marketing entails a diverse range of online strategies aimed at engaging consumers through digital channels. This includes search engine optimization (SEO), social media marketing, email marketing, content marketing, and pay-per-click (PPC) advertising. Leveraging the internet's power, digital marketing enables businesses to connect with target audiences in a more targeted, personalized, and measurable manner.

Key Differences Between Traditional and Digital Marketing

Reach and Targeting:

Traditional marketing typically targets a wide audience through mass media channels, while digital marketing enables precise targeting based on demographics, interests, and online behavior. This allows businesses to tailor their messages to specific audience segments for enhanced relevance and engagement.

Cost-effectiveness:

Digital marketing is generally more cost-effective than traditional marketing, especially for businesses with limited budgets. Online advertising platforms offer flexible budgeting options and performance-based pricing models, enabling businesses to optimize their marketing spend and achieve higher returns on investment (ROI).

Interactivity and Engagement:

Digital marketing fosters interactive communication between brands and consumers, facilitating greater engagement. Platforms like social media and email marketing allow businesses to interact with their audience in real-time, fostering relationships and gathering valuable feedback.

Measurability and Analytics:

Digital marketing provides robust analytics tools that enable businesses to track campaign performance accurately. Metrics such as website traffic, click-through rates, and conversion rates can be monitored in real-time, offering insights into campaign effectiveness and ROI. In contrast, traditional marketing efforts rely on offline methods, making measurement more challenging.

Determining Long-term Benefits

While both traditional and digital marketing have their merits, the shift towards digital channels and consumer behavior favor digital marketing for long-term success. Here's why:

Cost-effectiveness and ROI:

Digital marketing offers a higher ROI compared to traditional marketing due to its lower cost per impression and better targeting capabilities. This allows businesses to allocate their budgets more efficiently and achieve measurable results that contribute to sustained growth and profitability.

Targeting and Personalization:

Digital marketing enables precise targeting and personalized messaging, resulting in higher engagement and conversion rates. With data analytics, businesses can create tailored campaigns that resonate with specific audience segments, fostering brand loyalty over time.

Adaptability and Flexibility:

Digital marketing campaigns can be easily adjusted and optimized based on real-time data and feedback. Businesses can experiment with different strategies, refining their approach to stay ahead of competitors and meet evolving consumer needs.

Global Reach and Accessibility:

Digital marketing provides access to a global audience without geographical constraints. Online platforms offer businesses the opportunity to expand their reach and market presence across borders, tapping into new markets and opportunities for growth.

Conclusion: Navigating the Marketing Landscape

In summary, while traditional marketing remains relevant, digital marketing offers superior long-term benefits including cost-effectiveness, targeting capabilities, adaptability, and global reach. By embracing digital strategies, businesses can enhance brand visibility, engage audiences effectively, and drive sustainable growth in today's digital age.

Make Money From Affiliate Marketing: A Step-by-Step Guide

Introduction:

Are you looking for a way to make money online? Affiliate marketing might be the answer you've been searching for! In this digital age, affiliate marketing has emerged as a popular business model that allows individuals to earn passive income by promoting other people's products or services and earning a commission for each sale or referral. Not only does it offer a flexible and scalable income stream, but it also requires minimal startup costs. In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through the steps to get started, making money with affiliate marketing.

I. Understanding Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing strategy where affiliates (you) promote products or services of merchants in exchange for a commission. It operates on a simple principle: you find a product you believe in, promote it to others, and earn a percentage of the profit from each sale you generate. The key players in affiliate marketing include merchants who create and sell the products, affiliates who promote them, and consumers who make purchases.

There are different types of affiliate programs, such as pay-per-click (PPC), where you earn a commission for each click on your affiliate link; pay-per-lead (PPL), where you earn a commission for each lead generated; and pay-per-sale (PPS), where you earn a commission for each sale made through your referral.

II. Getting Started with Affiliate Marketing

Choose a niche: Select a niche that aligns with your interests and expertise. This will make it easier for you to create valuable content and connect with your target audience.

Research affiliate programs: Find reputable affiliate programs through popular affiliate networks like Amazon Associates, ClickBank, Digistore24, or Commission Junction. You can also explore direct partnerships with merchants in your niche.

Select profitable products: Look for products or services that have high demand and good conversion rates. Consider factors such as commission structure, product quality, and the merchant's reputation.

III. Building Your Affiliate Marketing Platform

Create a website or blog: Set up a dedicated platform where you can promote affiliate products. Choose a domain name, register hosting, and build your website using platforms like WordPress or Wix.

Content creation: Create valuable and engaging content that appeals to your target audience. Write blog posts, product reviews, and tutorials that provide useful information and insights related to the products you promote.

SEO optimization: Optimize your website for search engines by using relevant keywords, creating meta tags, and building quality backlinks. This will help improve your website's visibility and attract organic traffic.

IV. Promoting Affiliate Products

Social media marketing: Leverage the power of social media platforms to promote your affiliate products. Create compelling posts, engage with your audience, and use relevant hashtags to expand your reach.

Email marketing campaigns: Build an email list of subscribers interested in your niche. Send regular newsletters, product updates, and exclusive offers to your subscribers to cultivate a loyal audience and boost affiliate sales.

Paid advertising: Consider using paid advertising channels like Google Ads or social media ads to reach a broader audience. Set a budget, target specific demographics, and track the performance of your ads to optimize your results.

V. Maximizing Affiliate Earnings

Build trust and credibility: Establish trust with your audience by being transparent and honest in your product recommendations. Provide genuine reviews, personal experiences, and valuable insights to build credibility.

Conversion optimization: Optimize your affiliate marketing efforts by using persuasive copywriting techniques, creating compelling calls-to-action, and designing effective landing pages. Continuously test and refine your strategies to improve your conversion rates.

Tracking and analytics: Track the performance of your affiliate links using analytics tools like Google Analytics or affiliate network dashboards.This will provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of your promotional efforts, allowing you to make data-driven decisions and optimize your affiliate marketing strategy.

VI. Scaling Your Affiliate Business

Diversifying income streams: Explore different affiliate programs and niches to diversify your sources of income. By promoting a variety of products or services, you can reach a wider audience and potentially increase your earnings.

Outsourcing and automation: As your affiliate business grows, consider outsourcing tasks and automating processes to free up your time for strategic growth. Delegate tasks like content creation, social media management, or email marketing to virtual assistants or freelancers.

Building an affiliate team: Collaborate with other affiliates or influencers in your niche to create an affiliate team or network. By pooling resources and leveraging each other's audiences, you can expand your reach and increase your affiliate sales.

In this showdown, we'll delve into the strengths and weaknesses of TikTok Ads and Facebook Ads, helping you make an informed decision on where to allocate your marketing budget. Whether you're a seasoned marketer or just starting, understanding the key differences between these platforms is crucial. From audience demographics and engagement levels to ad formats and targeting capabilities, we'll explore it all. So buckle up and get ready to discover the ultimate winner in the battle of TikTok Ads vs Facebook Ads. It's time to find out which platform can truly supercharge your marketing efforts and deliver the highest return on your advertising investment. Understanding ROI in Advertising Return on investment (ROI) is a critical metric that measures the profitability of an investment relative to its cost. When it comes to advertising, ROI is a key indicator of how effectively a platform is delivering results and driving business growth. To calculate ROI, you need to compare the revenue generated from your advertising efforts to the cost of running the ads. A higher ROI indicates that your advertising campaigns are generating more income compared to the investment made. TikTok Ads vs Facebook Ads Now that we understand the importance of ROI in advertising, let's dive into the specifics of TikTok Ads and Facebook Ads. Both platforms have their unique strengths and weaknesses, so it's important to evaluate them based on your business objectives and target audience. Benefits of Advertising on TikTok TikTok has taken the social media world by storm, especially among younger demographics. With its innovative short-form video format and highly engaged user base, TikTok offers a unique opportunity for brands to connect with a younger audience creatively and authentically. Here are some key benefits of advertising on TikTok: 1. Massive Reach: TikTok boasts over 1 billion active users worldwide, making it one of the fastest-growing social media platforms. Advertising on TikTok allows you to tap into this vast user base and reach a wide audience. 2. Engagement: TikTok users are highly engaged and spend a significant amount of time on the platform. This presents an opportunity for brands to capture the attention of users and create memorable brand experiences. 3. Creativity: TikTok's video format encourages creativity and allows brands to showcase their products or services in a visually appealing and entertaining way. Brands can leverage TikTok's editing tools and effects to create engaging and shareable content. Benefits of Advertising on Facebook While TikTok may be the new kid on the block, Facebook remains a dominant force in the digital advertising space. With its extensive user base and advanced targeting capabilities, Facebook Ads provides numerous benefits for businesses of all sizes. Here's why advertising on Facebook can be a game-changer for your ROI: 1. Targeting Options: Facebook's robust targeting options allow you to precisely reach your ideal audience. From demographics and interests to behaviors and location, Facebook Ads provides a wide range of targeting criteria to ensure your ads are seen by the right people. 2. Audience Size: With over 2.8 billion monthly active users, Facebook offers unparalleled reach. No matter how niche or broad your target audience is, chances are they can be found on Facebook. 3. Ad Formats: Facebook offers a variety of ad formats, including image ads, video ads, carousel ads, and more. This flexibility allows you to choose the format that best suits your marketing objectives and engage your audience in different ways. Cost Comparison between TikTok and Facebook Ads Regarding advertising, cost is an important factor to consider, especially for businesses with limited budgets. Let's take a closer look at the cost comparison between TikTok Ads and Facebook Ads. TikTok Ads Cost TikTok Ads pricing varies depending on factors such as ad format, targeting options, and campaign objectives. The cost per impression (CPM) on TikTok can range from $10 to $30, while the cost per click (CPC) can range from $0.10 to $0.30. It's important to note that TikTok Ads are still relatively new, and as more advertisers enter the platform, the competition and costs may increase.  Facebook Ads Cost The cost of Facebook Ads is influenced by factors such as audience targeting, ad relevance, and bidding strategy. On average, the cost per click (CPC) on Facebook can range from $0.50 to $2.00, while the cost per thousand impressions (CPM) can range from $5 to $10. It's worth mentioning that Facebook Ads' costs can vary significantly depending on your industry, target audience, and the competitiveness of your chosen ad placements. Conclusion In the battle of TikTok Ads vs Facebook Ads, there is no definitive winner. The choice between the two platforms ultimately depends on your specific marketing objectives, target audience, and budget. TikTok Ads offer a unique opportunity to engage with a younger, highly engaged audience through creative video content. On the other hand, Facebook Ads provide extensive targeting options and a massive user base that can help you reach a wide range of potential customers. To make an informed decision, consider conducting small-scale tests on both platforms to gauge their effectiveness for your business. Monitor key metrics such as click-through rates, conversion rates, and cost per acquisition to determine which platform delivers better ROI for your advertising campaigns. Remember that successful advertising requires continuous optimization and testing, so be prepared to adapt your strategies based on the results you achieve. In the end, the key to achieving better ROI lies in understanding your target audience, crafting compelling ad creative, and optimizing your campaigns based on data-driven insights.

For making your business more powerful, brand loyalty and customer satisfaction both play a major role, but it all comes down to communication. When customers see your company posting on social media, especially replying to their queries and posting original content, it helps them build a positive image in their minds. Regularly interacting with your customers proves that you and your business care about them. Once you get a few satisfied customers, who are vocal about their positive purchase experience, you can let the advertising be done for you by genuine customers who appreciated your product or service.

Increased traffic

One of the other benefits of Social Media is that it also helps increase your website traffic.

By sharing your content on social media, you are giving users a reason to click through to your website. On your social account, the more quality content you share, the more inbound traffic you will generate while making conversion opportunities.

Enhanced SEO rankings

Social media presence is becoming a vital factor in calculating rankings. These days, to secure a successful ranking, SEO requirements are continuously varying.

Therefore, it is no longer enough to simply optimize your website and regularly update your blog. Businesses sharing their content on social media are sending out a brand signal to search engines that speaks to your brand validity, integrity, and constancy.

Final words

There is no denying that Social media marketing has many advantages for startups and established brands. Regularly updating the right social media marketing strategy will lead to increased traffic, better SEO, improved brand loyalty, healthier customer satisfaction, and much more.

Your competition is growing on social media daily, so don’t let your competitors take your probable customers. The earlier you start, the faster you see the growth in your business.
