Social Media Marketing! Who’s Got the Time?

- Image via Wikipedia
Social Media Marketing is crucial to your businesses growth, you already know this! What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the term “social media”? I immediately think of “TIME”! Who’s got the time for more marketing??
Since marketing is a tool you use to get your products and services out to your consumer group, you really have to take the time to setup a clear marketing plan that includes your favorite social media outlet.
Just keep in mind, that although you can successfully outsource your marketing efforts to a social media marketing manager, you need to be involved on a personal level with at least one specific social media outlet on a regular basis. This is great way to build real relationships!
Marketing with personality, purpose and on a real-life level will help you with all of your marketing efforts, including:
- Article Submissions
- Press Release Submissions
- Teleseminar and other online classes
If you find yourself out of “time” before you can accomplish this weeks marketing goals, then I welcome you to contact me for a free 30 minute consultation.
I’d love to hear your thoughts, please leave a great comment!

Ouch! My Stretching Business
We see all kinds of products for stretch mark removal, in the physical realm, but what about the business realm? Did you know your business has stretch marks? Maybe this isnt’ a real pretty picture to paint, but it gets the point across.
Stretch marks show growth and if your business is growing there should be proof. What steps are you taking to insure that your business is growing?Think back to the first year in your business, you didn’t really have any task to outsource. You probably didn’t have a need for a bookkeeper or an accountant.Now think to your second year in business; you feel the “time crunch” on certain tasks, you can’t keep up with your own record keeping, you don’t have time to write your own articles anymore let alone submit those articles to all of the submission directories.
Now you’re into your third year of business, you find that you really need help and NOW! But where do go to find help? What do you begin to outsource?
Besides doing your basic internet research for “virtual assistant” or “virtual assistance”, why not ask fellow entrepreneurs and online business owners for their recommendations. You can visit virtual assistant forums and see what virtual assistants are frequenting the board.

Day 10: Recap Your Article Marketing “Why”
In the previous 9 days you’ve learned some very powerful “why’s” of article marketing and how it plays an important role in your business. So let’s recap what you’ve read:
- You build relationships with potential clients you may not have otherwise met.
- You use your article marketing to build trust wit h your readers.
- You become known as the “expert” in your chosen field.
- You generate publicity.
- You gain pre-qualified website traffic.
- You feed your “content hungry” target market.
- You have the potential to be seen by thousands of people in your target market.
- Article marketing allows you to pre-sell your products or services.
- You market your business without having to meet face-to-face.
- You reap the benefits of continual web traffic for years to come.
My hope was to inform and educate you, the professional business owner, on how powerful article marketing can be for your business. If you market your business on a consistent basis, perhaps as little as 5 hours per month, you should reap the benefits for years to come.

Day 9: Free Advertising Space?
Today is Day #9 of a 10 day series entitled :
“10 Reasons to Market Your Business with Articles”
Outsourcing (delegating) a minimum of 5 hours of article marketing per month can benefit your business. Perhaps if you have a better understanding behind the “why” you should be marketing your business with articles, then this task will never see the end of your to-do list again.
Day 9: Free Advertising Space?
Once your article is published by an article directory, it should be seen as a living piece. In other words, once a target client reads what you have to say, that person may copy it into their ezine or on their website for their readers to read, that equals to free advertising!
So basically, once you submit that article, its “out there” for all the world to see..over and over and over again! Take this one step further and let your readers know that they can use your article but they have to leave it “as is” and not change it in anyway (this info can go in your resource box.)
Oh, and if you are contacted by someone that has used one of your articles to educate their market, make sure to thank them! Virtual hand shakes can go far.

Day 8: Pre-Sell Your Services or Products
Today is Day # 8 of a 10 day series entitled :
“10 Reasons to Market Your Business with Articles”
Outsourcing (delegating) a minimum of 5 hours of article marketing per month can benefit your business. Perhaps if you have a better understanding behind the “why” you should be marketing your business with articles, then this task will never see the end of your to-do list again.
Day 8: Pre-Sell Your Services or Products
Article marketing allows you to pre-sell your products or services. You don’t even have to meet face-to-face in order to sell your business. By article marketing on a consistent basis, your message will be read by your potential clients. Those potential clients then follow the link in your resource box, come to your website and hopefully sign-up for your mailing list. Maybe they will also contact you for more information about your product or service and want to place an order. You never know who is going to pick-up your article!

Day 7: I Spy!
Today is Day # 7 of a 10 day series entitled :
“10 Reasons to Market Your Business with Articles”
Outsourcing (delegating) a minimum of 5 hours of article marketing per month can benefit your business. Perhaps if you have a better understanding behind the “why” you should be marketing your business with articles, then this task will never see the end of your to-do list again.
Day 7: I Spy!
Are you and your potential clients playing “I Spy”? Can your next client find you? Perhaps they are googling your field of expertise, but they can’t find you or your services. Did you know that the more articles you market, the better your search results will be? That could mean, that all of those clients you know that you can help, can’t find you if the search engines can’t find you either. So stop playing “I Spy” and get “found” by your potential clients.
Write that article to educate and inform your next client and win them over!
Day 6: Business Advertising that Works?
Today is Day #3 of a 10 day series entitled :
“10 Reasons to Market Your Business with Articles”
Outsourcing (delegating) a minimum of 5 hours of article marketing per month can benefit your business. Perhaps if you have a better understanding behind the “why” you should be marketing your business with articles, then this task will never see the end of your to-do list again.
Day 6: Business Advertising that Works?
Not all advertising comes in the form of banners, flash ads or yellow page inserts. Let’s think outside of the “advertising block” for just a moment. Did you know that article marketing IS a way of advertising? Advertising that is mostly free, except that it costs you time. If you are consistent with your article marketing, your potential clients will start to view you as the expert in your field. They will begin to see you as someone that they can trust. Now what other type of advertising will show you as a possible expert in your expertise?

Day 5: I Need Leads?
Today is Day #5 of a 10 day series entitled :
“10 Reasons to Market Your Business with Articles”
Outsourcing (delegating) a minimum of 5 hours of article marketing per month can benefit your business. Perhaps if you have a better understanding behind the “why” you should be marketing your business with articles, then this task will never see the end of your to-do list again.
Day 5: I Need Leads?
Article marketing can bring you leads of quality that are relevant to your specific business needs. Perhaps a potential JV (joint venture) relationship can be started simply by having the right person read one of your articles. This is another reason why you need to have a specific call-to-action in your “Author Bio Box” (a.k.a. resource box). Don’t be afraid to send your readers to a different page than your home page. You can invite your reader to visit any page of your website. Be creative!

Day 4: Get Me Exposed!
Once your article is published, it can easily be seen by thousands of people around the globe. Make sure you include a “call to action” in your author bio area, at the end of each article. This “call to action” should specifically state that you want your potential client to visit your website.
Having your website visited by thousands? Now that’s exposure!

Debunk the Entrepreneurial Myth
Being your own boss is freeing, but not when you have the mindset of thinking you have to control every business related task by yourself. Outsourcing or delegating, as little as 5 hours of business marketing per month, can free up your schedule and keep you on your path of success.
If you have found yourself stuck in a marketing rut, then its time to start delegating some of those business marketing tasks. Remember, being in business for yourself doesn’t mean you have to be in business BY yourself.
Please contact me today for your free 30 minute consultation.
