CREATE TIME TODAY!

Each day, we are all given the same amount of time.  So... how do you stay up to date with all the Social Media news, tips and tools that change by the second?  How frustrated do you get with Social Media?  How do you find the TIME to do Social Media?  What and when do you post?

Common questions of Social Frustration!!!   Business owners frustrated knowing that they should be 'Socializing' just not sure HOW!

We all have the same amount of time each day.  We all have CHOICES how to spend our time.   Try this for a week, use your phone or computer alarms to help limit the time you spend daily 'Socializing.'  Spend 10-15 minutes a day reading Social News - News that you can apply to your business.  Book mark helpful news so you can go right to the info site and read.  Set an alarm for 'Socializing' with your Social Community, 10-15 minutes morning, afternoon and evening.  Pick 2 Social Avenues ie; Facebook, twitter.  Really learn these 1st before you add another Social Avenue.  You will be tempted, however stay on task and keep to your goal.  Have a strategy for posting and stick to it.   Hootsuite is very helpful for posts thru out your week.

Be accountable to someone other than yourself.  Explain your goals and check in with that person to remain accountable.  Hint hint....a Coach can help you with this Alaska Tracy.

Social this...and Social That

Are you feeling overwhelmed with all the 'Social Media' venues and tools out there?  Every day there is a new update on Facebook a new Social Site.  How do you keep up with it all?  Or are you choosing not to? Are you so overwhelmed that you are 'stuck'?

Three simple things that you can do today to move forward.  1.  Breathe...I mean exhale and really let go of breath.  Ok, now choose one Social Media Avenue (i.e.; Facebook, Twitter) that you are going to learn.  Do not allow yourself to go down another Social Media Avenue until you are actively comfortable with the one you start on today! 

2. How will you know when to move to the next Social Media site?  When you are engaging with your Social Community.  Engagement means learning about your community and what they are doing.  Asking them questions on their wall.  Getting engagement back on your wall (not just likes').

3.  Let go of how many 'likes' and 'friends' you are getting ( I know ...this is a tough one!)  Do this for one month consistently - not half hearted!  Time block your Social -engagement time and your Social FUN time.  If you actually calendar this on a calendar you will be more apt to do it!!!  There, I actually gave you 4 tips!
