Marketing Sucks
Marketing Sucks is the podcast for business owners who are looking for practical, fun, and strategic ways to get noticed online, and don’t want to sit through 30 minutes of filler to get to the good stuff.
Each week, Grind Social Media + Co founder Amanda Casinha sits down with the industry’s most interesting and unconventional ad experts, funnel developers, content creators, and changemakers to explore their off-the-beaten-path strategies and experiences in the world of marketing and business — and dig into real stories of failures, strategies, and how they got their jaw-dropping results.

Why Posting More Content Isn’t Growing Your Business
In week two of this January series, Amanda and Phil break down one of the biggest myths in modern marketing: that more content automatically equals more growth. Spoiler: it doesn’t.
This episode dismantles the obsession with daily posting, viral content, and arbitrary challenges, and replaces it with something far more uncomfortable and far more effective: real objectives, real numbers, and real accountability.
If your current strategy is “post more and hope,” this conversation explains exactly why that’s keeping you stuck and what to do instead.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
- Why posting every day is an activity, not a goal
- The difference between content volume and content effectiveness
- Why going viral is not a business objective
- How empty metrics protect your ego but stall your growth
- What a real marketing objective actually looks like
- Why vague goals keep you comfortable, and specific goals force growth
- How numbers, timelines, and outcomes change everything
- Why discipline is boring until it starts making you money
What’s Coming Next
This episode builds directly into Part 3 of the series and next week you’ll learn how to structure simple campaigns that actually work and why most businesses skip this step entirely.
