Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight

If you attempt to use these tips with the “Oh my GOD I need traffic quickly because I’m scared or worried or impatient or anxious!”, it’s like handing a blow torch to a 5 year old.

Some 5 year old is gonna burn down the house, at worst.

When your energy is off you will mis-use these tools.
