I'm willing to bet you've already heard about the importance of Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter -- and if you use all three as part of your lead generation strategy, you might think you're all set.

The other day I was recording a podcast episode with my co-host Eric Siu and he wanted to discuss something in particular. He wanted to talk about how I got to 62,000 Instagram followers in a very short period of time and without spending any money on ads or marketing.

Content consistency is just as important in developing an effective content strategy, and you could argue that consistency is even more important than quantity.
