Let's introduce The Social Ms

We're a team of brother and sister - but we've also been business partners for a long time.

"I come from a development background - my focus in Marketing is building scalable marketing tactics that lead to repeatable solutions. I have what I call an algorithmic approach to marketing - building a process for marketing that works again, again, again, and again.

In my free time I run marathons, I'm a rescue do handler and I love any kind of sports."

Susanna Gebauer

"Before I became an entrepreneur I studied and did my PhD in math and worked as a strategy consultant for many years. My approach to marketing is analytical - finding the errors, fixing them, measuring success, and optimization.

In my free time I love dogs, hiking in the bavarian mountains and forests, and the being outside in any weather."

We've been where you are today. Or probably in worse situations. Before we started The Social Ms, we had a business go bankrupt. We tried everything to gain traffic for our website but nothing worked.

About The Social Ms

The Social Ms was founded in 2014 by Online Marketing Influencers Jonathan and Susanna Gebauer - and in a very short time managed to become one of the most important online marketing blogs on the internet. Within 8 months, The Social Ms was selected as the number 8 most important marketing brand on Twitter by influencer identification company Onalytica. The Social Ms were featured on various other publications on the web.

We take pride in being one of the few Online Marketing Blogs which focus on no- and low-budget marketing instead of promoting the idea that online marketing needs to be expensive and rely heavily on advertising.

The Story behind this Course

We started our first online business back in 2010. And like any online business we needed traffic for our website. But it wasn't that simple in our case - we weren't on our own, we had investors - and those investors wanted to see results.

• At first we failed - although we tried everything.
• We tried hiring a PR company (which took a lot of money and gave us nothing)
• We tried hiring a marketing pro - we had to fire that person after two weeks
• We tried advertising - we even got a consultant at Google, but even he couldn't make it work
• We tried every social media tactic we could find, but nothing worked...

Truth be told - we were ready to give up. Until one day we had a moment of truth.

We found one tactic that worked for us - just a little at first. So we focused on that tactic (which was a way of how to use Twitter for generating traffic that we also teach in Social Media Growth Basics).

And suddenly everything fell into place. Our Twitter accounts grew like crazy. Our social media traffic exploded.

But not only that - since our content was popular on social media, our search engine traffic exploded as well. Here is how our traffic for our business exploreB2B exploded:

But for exploreB2B this came already too late - if we had figured this out just a month earlier, it would have been a success, but in this case it was just too late.

So we had to start a new business - and this time we had learned our lessons: No investors, no complicated technology, just a blog and online courses. And good, low-cost marketing.

That's why we started The Social Ms. But the question remained: Could we do it again?

Here is the traffic of The Social Ms in the first 6 months:

After just 6 months, we had almost 50,000 monthly pageviews. We were selected as the #8 most important social media marketing brand on Twitter by Onalytica after just 8 months.

We launched our first online course and made 1000s of Dollars.

And since then, we have focused on bringing the same success to our customers.

Exactly the same tactics that brought this success for us are what we teach in "Social Media Growth Basics".

With Social Media Growth Basics we focus on the most important social networks. We teach you how to run a blog and create great content on your blog.

And we give you the ONE traffic strategy for your blog or online business that you need.
