Balancing Your Time on Social Media

I've been asked a lot lately, mostly from people not yet venturing into social media, how people balance their time, now that they have to manage a fan page, tweet, and so on. I know the answer I give: Figure out how much time you have to put into it, and then schedule that time, work it and move on. However, I also know that for many it isn't that easy. Social Media can be quite "sticky." Meaning it has a somewhat addictive quality, and some people find themselves going back more than they anticipated to check a comment, see what's happening, and connect with their friends or fans.

There is a natural tendency for people to get caught up in the latest craze, to the extent that they can neglect to continue doing the things that worked effectively in the past, or may even neglect other necessary aspects of their job.

I wanted to find out how you are managing your time on social media. Is what you are doing working? Do you feel you've reached that perfect balance? Or do you feel out of control?

I created a brief survey - if you take it (it will take less than a minute) you will also immediately get the results. I also share the findings next week.

Please, take the survey; and thanks in advance to those of you who do!
