Wasting Time on Social Media Show Notes

Bryan Person – Social Media Evangelist, LiveWorld

You have a finite amount of time to create content. Where is the best place to spend that time?

Choose the social media channel that is best for you based on;

  • Your marketing purpose
  • Your marketing challenge
  • Where your customer will be
  • How much time you have to spend on social media
  • The strength of each social media tool

Twitter is the lazy man’s social media tool. It’s easy to post 140 characters and amass a lot of followers. It takes more time and thought to maintain a blog.

Blogs may be the most powerful social media marketing tool for small businesses. This is especially true if you customers will go to search engines to search for your type of business.

Blogs give you credibility, authority, and search engines like blogs.
