Social Media: How Much and How Many?

Posted by Laura Bergells

July 8, 2008

Social media sites are springing up all over the internet.

How many should you belong to?
How much time should you allocate to participating at each?
And how do you measure success?

The answers to the above questions, of course, are:

How many? 3
How much time? 7.2 minutes per day
How to measure success? 10 buckets of cash per site

Yes! I’m being facetious! The real answers are:

Participate only at sites that facilitate conversations between the people you want to reach
As much time that is socially appropriate to nurture desirable relationships
One relationship at a time

Any questions?
