Ongoing Initiatives

Social Media Growth Hub.

May 22, 2025 - Till Date

SMG (Social Media Growth) is a WhatsApp channel that was established to assist users in expanding their social media profiles. I got the idea to provide a channel for folks after seeing an admin remove their links in certain groups. Here's how it works.

  • Share your links by sending them to the admin
  • Admin posts for you to keep the channel clean
  • No spam, no distractions
  • Open to vendors, creators, and anyone growing their socials
  • Focused on real support and engagement
