When my phone is buzzing off the hook or I�m getting a dozen emails about comments on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook it�s very tempting to dive headfirst into social media, only to reemerge three hours later having accomplished very little. Instead, I prefer to check-in every few hours with my social accounts and do the various actions in bulk. This might not work for every business, especially if you are dealing with a customer service issue, but for the most part your social network is okay with waiting an hour or two to hear from you. If you don�t/can�t reply instantaneously it�s not the end of the world! Unless your company is large enough to have a full time social media manager, chances are a few employees might have access to the various social accounts so if something does need to be addressed right away but you just can�t handle it yourself a trusted employee could at least take the first step.
The thing to remember about SEO and social media time management is that it�s very easy to get lost in the nitty gritty. You could literally spend hours combing through Google Analytics every day but save your hours for when you really need to look �under the hood.� I have lost entire afternoons looking for one quality link when my time could have been better spent writing fresh content for the company blog, working on a guest blog post (or finding a new opportunity), or even been on a prospect call with a potential client. And I think we all know how easy it is to get lost in the depths of Facebook when we start clicking around. Set a daily schedule for yourself (flexibility is still okay though) and try to minimize how much time one activity takes you every day when possible.ajmalseotips.blogspot.com
