What is Minimalist Social?

Minimalist Social is the Medium home for social media marketing content. I’ve noticed the big marketing publications are taking forever to respond to submissions, if they even respond at all. The exception is The Startup and I didn’t want to continue to bombard them with social media focused posts. So, if it’s about social media, it’s welcome here.

This publication is designed to provide relevant social media marketing information, advice and stories to founders, solopreneurs, freelancers and SMEs, so please write for this audience.
