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.

Social Media is the biggest window into getting eyeballs on your content! I’ve been able to grow my business over the past 3 years from 0 followers to over 3,000 followers and go from charging $1500 for a wedding to charging $8000 for a wedding. The power that social media has in the ability to network is unmatched! Read more>>

Being on social media takes a lot of time and patience. I have TikTok, my personal fan page and even Snapchat and I occasionally post on instagram. But it gets hard to share something new with followers to keep them up to date and to keep them interested. I’ve added people to help manage my pages but it’s hard to do when they await content from me.
