The Real Reason Small Businesses Go Quiet on Social | Sam McFarlane

Most small business owners are using AI for their social media content. Most of them are getting it wrong. In this episode I sit down with Sam McFarlane, founder of Sam Says, a social media agency that's been running for 14 years. Sam delivers fully done-for-you content management for coaches, accountants, industry associations and professional service providers across Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. We get into why AI-generated content is falling flat, what good prompting actually looks like, and why the businesses that show up consistently are the ones leading with their human voice first. We cover: Why garbage prompts produce garbage content, and the simple fix The "curse of knowledge" that stops experts from posting consistently What a genuinely done-for-you social media service looks like day to day Why human voice matters more now that AI content is everywhere Where social media is heading for small and service-based businesses If you're a business owner, agency founder or social media manager trying to cut through without burning out, this one is worth your time.
