How to Manage Your Business Social Media Account on a Tight Schedule

Internet Business Marketing – Introduction of Social Media

Social Media is a must use for anyone on the internet. Twitter by itself now has in excess of 100 million people accessing its platform and Facebook has over 750 million active members. YouTube is way ahead of the rest with website hits of up to 1.5 million per day, 100 million video streams per day and 63 million visitors each month. The best thing about all of this is that all these sites are free to use and just imagine how you could get a nice slice out of that pie of people. Imagine how you get your business noticed on any or all of these. You could really get a boost in your search engine ranking while using these and other websites and tools for giving your business more exposure.

But you say you are always busy and don’t have the time to use social media no matter how successful it is. Let me help you out with that. What you need to do is to make a schedule for Social Media. The three steps in this process are:

Create your presence by creating an account on the website or websites you want to make use of.
Next you will need to get used to the idea of providing information on a daily or weekly basis to any of these websites you choose, ensuring that your information is search engine optimized.
Develop websites ensuring you’re linking and back linking is being done successfully.

Looks easy right? — Wrong it can be a bit daunting and if you are working alone it can take hours to get just one website done up. But let me give you some more advice to help you along.

Internet Business Marketing with Social Media –Focus on the Essentials

Devote a set amount of time each day to perform your social media tasks. Say an hour or two. Update one website at a time ensuring you have completed your work for one before you get to the next one. It is a bit hard to do all of this yourself especially if you want to use multiple websites. What you can do is get some of your employees to help you out if you have employees. If not you can get any teenagers in your household to help out if you are lucky enough to have them. If you have your own business you can create a position for someone who will specifically handle your social media management each and every day.

If none of the above are options for you, then you could hire a service that offers social media management along with internet marketing. They will take everything off your hands from setting up the website to generating and disseminating the information that you will use for posting to the websites. There are experts at what they do and they know just how to develop your social media presence to get you the best results. You can find these services at affordable prices giving your enough discounts for contracts that run over a year so it can be affordable. There are those that don’t require you to sign a contract which allows you to stay with them as long as you need.

It doesn’t really matter how you do it but that you do it. Social media marketing can open a lot of doors for your internet business. If you are not making use of this tool then you probably aren’t seeing your full potential as a business.

Internet Business Marketing with Social Media

If you find that you cannot find the time to do it yourself then hire someone to do it for you. In no time you will be able to break even making more than you are paying for getting it done while creating a source of income for somebody else. It will all pay off in the long run just be patient and you will see the results you need to be successful.

Thanks, Joe. You’re right, developing a solid group of various networks is no easy task. I’ve found that freelancing and outsourcing and really help you along the way though.

Laura says:

It’s so true that the hardest part of social media is learning to stay on top of it – it’s a great way to connect with others, but sticking to a schedule every day can be challenging. It is fun, though – I just started my own Twitter feed and am getting used to connecting with others through it. It’s a lot of work, but what a great way to share information!

You are right, Joe. Social networks are now playing an more and more important part in SEO. It took a lot of time to do any SEO task, so if you can afford, you sure should hire some freelancer, from such countries like Philipines or Malaysia, they are very good at these things and the price is reasonable.

Jerzie says:

I do agree in your point about developing a solid group is the hardest part in social media learning.In my part, I just do in my simple way on how to be productive in such way. Already said by alex on how to get a group but in a reasonable price.

Jon Anscher says:

It’s funny, I can’t seem to keep up with social networks on a personal level, but when it comes to professional ends, I’ve been able to do exactly as you suggest by creating a pattern.

Matt Kinsella says:

I wonder how many businesses will want to spend money on someone to do this? I guess it depends on what the value is to the business and at the moment it’s hard to put a figure on for most companies.
