It can be addicting and it can consume most of your day. You’re going into it for the right reasons, to get more leads and free advertising for your business! In the economy like this, you tend to be where marketing for your company is free. It’s not a bad thing however the old saying, “Too much of some thing, can hurt you” is true in this case. You should always do things in moderation to give the fullest effect of marketing yourself. I have met people that have Twitter & Facebook synced into their Blackberry or iPhone. They are so attached that they would have to stop their conversation with me and read their Facebook updates because someone had posted on their wall. Or they have to text on their Twitter that they are at the networking group talking to me.
This is nuts! Reboot! & Recharge! When you have reached this point, please ask yourself if it’s worth it?
I recommend recharging yourself offline from Social Media websites. Remember, the goal is to get more sales and leads not taking up time. By recharging yourself; you can visit local community functions, networking groups or even contact your existing clients. Contacting your existing clients is a very good thing and you would be surprised how much of a sales increased by doing this. Local community functions and networking groups are the traditional marketing strategy that still works till this day. Some are free to attend and its fun meeting people at these events. There’s nothing more than selling yourself and gain possible business alliance for your company.
As always, it’s best to allocate your time with the Social Media world and offline traditional marketing.
Enjoy!
