Social Media Funnels: Turn Likes into Sales

Let me tell you about Riya. She hired a "top" social media agency for ₹50,000/month. They delivered pretty reports full of graphs and buzzwords. Her posts got hundreds of likes. Yet after 6 months? Just 3 sales.

This happens every day because most marketers focus on the wrong metrics. I learned this the hard way during my first internship social media marketing at a failing startup. The CEO showed me our "viral" post with 10K likes. Then he showed me the bank account - ₹8,000 in revenue that month.

That's when I discovered real social selling - the kind that:

• Turned a Karachi home kitchen into a ₹3 lakh/month cloud kitchen

• Helped a Lahore tutor go from 5 to 87 students in 60 days

• Got a Delhi boutique 412 WhatsApp orders in one Diwali campaign
