Social media is a double-edged sword in business.
The online platform that social media provides is incredible and extremely effective for marketing your business when used properly. It can also be a huge source of distraction if you get lured down a bottomless rabbit hole.
I’m in Carpinteria, CA filming a huge update for one of my courses, and I had the pleasure of meeting Melodie Tao. She’s an expert at all things social media marketing, and she was kind of enough to share a productivity tip to avoid spiraling out of control and losing track of time.
When leveraging social media for business purposes, follow these guidelines to stay productive:
✔️ Be intentional—have a strategy going into it.
✔️ Schedule social media time in advance and stick to your plan.
✔️ Save personal interactions and scrolling for your downtimes.
There’s no doubt that marketing to your audience online is essential for almost every organization. Over 42% of the world’s population uses social media with an average time of 2 hours and 22 minutes per day! On top of those insane statistics, 54% of consumers claim to use social media as their main tool for researching a product or service before buying.
Social media is a powerful tool for gaining awareness and sharing your message with your audience—just don’t let it distract you from your most valuable activities!
