My background is in social psychology and internet marketing and I would love to be your outsource for some of these projects as a blog representative. I also build blogs and maintain them. As for time devoted to social networking a day. Too many! That's why outsourcing is such a necessity to profit. Thanks. Laura,

We are all small businesses of less than 10 people. RSS technology is super awesome, but good blog content still has to be written even with prompts, and that takes some time. Not to mention that it also takes time to respond to posts. I am curious as to how much time (per day or per week) that you and others personally spend on social media - blogging, Twittering, Facebooking, etc. What goals do you personally set for yourself? A blog a day? Twitter twice a day? A number of hours? Thank you for your blog - it is a great resource! :-) L.

I am curious as to how much time (per day or per week) that you and others personally spend on social media – blogging, Twittering, Facebooking, etc. What goals do you personally set for yourself? A blog a day? Twitter twice a day? A number of hours?

Thank you for your blog – it is a great resource! :-)

Some things just have to be done personally. I'm suggesting the possibility that some of the networking online can actually be done PR agency style. For instance, managing blogs and comments as well as keeping up to date on other blogs and commenting within the business network on someones behalf. We are set up to specialize in this. Manage image and keep on top of current thought. John, you are exactly correcet. Some things just have to be done personally.

I run a small business networking firm that manages social networking for our client to free up their time to sell. http://www.pixelvoice.blogspot.com It’s effective and affordable. Pass on the word if your clients need a social networking manager. And let me know if I can help you in anyway.
