Social Media Wasting All of Your Time

With all of the great social media websites, one must wonder, "Why spend my time on these sites when I can be building my business."

Let's face it, the serious business owners acknowledge social media as a great vehicle to build their business, but it is not the only means by generating business. So many business owners are using the social media websites for the wrong reasons. You'll see people on there wishing their friends with "Happy Birthday Wishes" or messing around with their profile page, and these people think this is helping them grow their business.

This will not sustain growth in their home business! That's just the way it is.

Definitely do not let social media waste all of your valuable time. Now don't get me wrong, social media websites are great, but how you use them for your purpose, is key. Especially for the business owners. Find yourself messing around and not providing value to your audience, then watch and see how you're setting yourself up for failure.

While using the social media websites, be sure as I just mentioned, provide value. Sure you can still have fun or act as you are. It's just that you don't want to let it consume your time. If you do, you'll look back months down the wrong and wonder why social media has done nothing for you.

Tip on how to use social media websites - Make sure what you are doing is contributing to the growth of your company. Provide articles, post your blog, provide videos, etc. Just be sure it's helping your business move forward as well as others.

If you're not using social media as a means of building your business, then you don't need to worry as this only applies to the serious entrepreneurs.
