Is Social Media Taking Up ALL Your Time?
The overwhelming amount of information on Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites can be daunting to say the least. For those who want to be involved in social networking or who use it for their business, it is so easy to get lost in the social media jungle. The instant gratification and seemingly infinite areas to explore on sites such as Facebook can lead to wasted time with no results. Unlike TV, it’s a two way interactive communication, which makes it even more enticing.
Here’s the big question:
Are you staying on task or surfing aimlessly?
Don’t let yourself get caught in this trap otherwise known as the web (Ha!). You can stay on task while marketing on social media, but you need to have a plan. The first step in devising a plan and in reducing the hours you hang around social media sites is to get an idea of just how much time you do actually spend there.
For the next 24 hours keep a close eye on the time you spend doing specific tasks with social media – Twitter, Facebook, blogging, etc. Write it down if it helps. In many cases, this will be a real eye-opener. It is often much more than you think. Doing this will help you identify when you are not being productive, cut down on aimless surfing and become more efficient when you on task.
