Social media may be low in cost but you need to invest time on it</strong>
Because of all the hype surrounding social media and how they are often “free” and deliver outstanding results, there are many companies that get frustrated when they do not get the results they want from engaging in social media marketing. Social media marketing may be low in cost, but it requires an investment in time. And anyone who is busy 7 days a week knows that you might as well call time- money. It practically is the same thing. When companies get frustrated about all the time they need to spend on social media, they often abandon their social media accounts. That is not a very smart move especially in today’s business environment. The smart thing to do would be to outsource the tasks to someone who can do them for you faster, better and cheaper.
If your time is worth $50 per hour, it’s not very smart to spend 4 hours each day managing your social media accounts when you can have someone whose time is worth $25 or less do the task for you. Why do you think rich people hire multiple household help to manage their homes? Because their time is better spent making more money or enjoying the money they made. Who wants to do tedious and time-consuming tasks when they can clearly afford not to? This is not a Zen question! Obviously doing hard things stretches the mind or the body. But this is more a question of efficiency and making the most out of the scarcest resource given to people- time. Time, is the scarcest resource and is an equalizing factor for people too. Everyone is just given 24 hours in a day. The people who succeed are the ones who manage their time carefully.
When it comes to investing time on social media, the smartest move for a company is to hire a virtual assistant who will do all the social media tasks. Choose a good VA company with efficient workers that do not charge an arm and a leg for web services. There are many companies like that today. With the stiff competition in the VA industry, more and more virtual assistants are offering specialized online services that help companies make use of online tools.
The virtual assistant can work for you a few hours each day to work on your blog, Twitter account, Facebook, YouTube channel and other social media.
