Page 1: INTRO â Why Youâre Here If youâre reading this, it means youâve probably posted 10, 20, maybe even 50 cars on WhatsApp, IG or Facebook⌠and the silence is louder than a flat battery.

Page 2: The Brutal Truth â Posting Alone Wonât Save You Letâs get clear:Posting isnât strategy.Reposting isn't marketing.And boosting without aim? Thatâs donation.
