When managing a business social media account it is important to bear in mind how much time you are spending on it. Social media sites can very easily make you lose track of the time, and before you know it you can have spent most of the day reading other posts created by people or businesses you follow. Social media marketing is definitely a great way to boost your brand awareness and some companies can even get sales directly from their social media activity, but you need to consider the time you put into it. Even the most avid of Tweeters, still need to manage their time to allow them to run other aspects of the business and also to focus on other marketing avenues. Although social media is definitely a must for all businesses, you may be missing out on a number of opportunities if you focus all of your marketing on this as there are still some people that do not use social media sites.

If you are finding that you are putting a lot of time into social media but not really getting anywhere then it may be time to call in the professionals.
