Social Media...Wasted Time Today

This featured post proved to be true for me today: The Great Debate - Is Social Media a Waste of Time?... My Answer "Yes...It's a BIG Waste of Time" (by Ryan Shaughnessy).

I got most of my follow done today and had one appointment that needed to be changed because a lock box was not on the house, so I decided to get on Facebook and see what my friends are up to.  After about 1 hour of browsing and posting and chatting its safe to say I did not accomplish anything. 

Today Social Media was a WASTE OF TIME!  In fact posting this blog is probably a waste of time! This is my two cents on the above DEBATE!

It may feel like a waste of time, but the reward of getting a client for just 30 min out of your day is pretty sweet. Hope the rest of your day is more productive!

I hope you'll remember me if you learn of anyone moving to "The OC" and I will do the same!

 

Best regards.

Interested in going to a cocktail party with your sphere?  This business is all about building and developing relationships.  How one does it is up to them.  Tie it to your website and then look at your hits and search rankings and then blog to tell all it is a waste of time.  Tear 'em up.......

That hour of browsing and posting and chatting has the potential to turn in to multiple deals by the end of the year.  It takes time to get results, but then again, so do most other things worth doing.
