Social media can be a really powerful way to connect with and build deeper relationships with your audience – but it can be extremely time consuming. So, we asked some folks we admire to share how they manage their social profiles and whether they’ve hired professionals to help.

For years, I managed my own social media. I hated it, you see, I am not the best writer, I spell things wrong very often or will use the wrong version of a word like your instead of you’re.

Social media can be used very strategically to grow your business. Yes, it has its good with its bad, but if you just stick to why you are using it, it will be beneficial in the end.

I plan it out accordingly so that it won’t overwhelm too much of my time. This has helped tremendously. SM has helped to grow my brand where if I didn’t have SM, my brand would have grown much slower. Read more>>
