Most people approach social media growth the wrong way. They post content they think is interesting. They share what they would want to see. They follow their instincts. And then they get frustrated when nothing happens. The problem is not that your content is bad. The problem is that you are guessing. Brendan Kane discovered this the hard way. After building a successful career in the entertainment industry, working with names like Taylor Swift and Rihanna, he found himself starting over. He needed to build an audience from zero.

The challenge most people face is not…
