5 Time Management Tips for Blogging and Social Media
Who doesn’t want more hours in the day? We all do.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the secret that will add minutes to your day; but I do have some that will help you use your time more wisely.
Blogging
- Have go-to blogpost ideas ready for a rainy day. Try some of these easy tips to get started.
- Repurpose your content by guest blogging or article marketing. Take an existing blogpost you already have and put a different spin on it, or elaborate on a certain point.
Social Media
- Use services to send out mass status messages to all of your social media profiles. My favorite is ping.fm.
- Spend your time where your audience is at. If they’re on Twitter, be on Twitter. If they’re on LinkedIn, make sure you’re answering questions on LinkedIn. If your audience isn’t in a particular social space – and you’re pressed for time – I would argue it’s not worth being there.
- Use Networked Blogs for Facebook, and skip having to worry about posting every blogpost to your fan page. Use a service like Twitterfeed to have blogposts auto-tweeted.
