Social Media websites have been springing up like weeds for years. There are literally hundreds of sites. It can drive us all crazy. Have they plateaued or only scratched the surface? Check out what Wikipedia has to say about social media sites at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_social_networking_websites. Perhaps you are only interested in social media sites that have more than 1 million users? If that’s your choice, then Wikipedia has an answer for you at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_virtual_communities_with_more_than_100_million_active_users.

It is mind-boggling and rather confusing. I have found that if I am active on more than five social media sites every day, I will spend the majority of my time conversing with the other members on social media. Is that a good thing? Is this productive? In my opinion, it depends whether or not you are an online marketer, or pursuing another type of endeavor that does not really involve constant selling of products regardless of whether they are yours or someone else’s. Social media websites can be very alluring and dangerously destructive to your productivity if you do not use them wisely. It is for that reason, I have invited Heidi Richards Mooney-Social Media Expert and Busness Builder, to visit Never Say Impossible Radio. Frankly I have been feeling overwhelmed. In one day alone I can receive direct and indirect messages on four social media sites totaling between 500 and 800. That does not include direct emails. I don’t change the settings to eliminate so many notifications because mixed within all the chatter are messages I’m really interested in. That is just plain crazy. So I try to narrow down my activity and converse with the most important and meaningful communications I get. What offends me the most is the sneaky way people get your email address and then send you a direct marketing message as if they were close friends? However, what does Heidi say about all this insanity? The delete key has become my favorite key on my computer. Am I destroying possible new networking opportunities in my desperate attempt to simplify my life?

Quite honestly, I admit that because these sites are constantly changing the rules to produce revenue as the activity on their sites grow. I am not totally up to date on the do’s and don’ts and the protocol of all the sites. One thing is for sure, it has gotten a great deal more complicated than it was five years ago. It’s hard to keep up to date on everything. Just when I think I have it figured out, I discover I’m doing some wrong because of new rules. Heidi I need help!!!!

There are so many questions about social media sites that need answers. What is better than having questions answered by a pro that is respected around the world? Heidi is a mentor to many!

Questions and more questions!

What do you do when you know that you cannot manage all these various sites by yourself?
Is it time to hire a virtual assistant?
Can a virtual assistant really represent you properly?
Can your business afford to hire one or is it a must if you are going to grow the business?
Are you wasting time by not hiring an assistant?
Maybe it is time to simply choose one maybe two social media networks that you can manage and weed out the rest?
