Social Media Marketing

I’ve been writing my blogs for a few weeks now, and checking in on Zipporah’s Facebook, whilst also making sure LinkedIn requests are all set and trying to ensure everyone is up to date with my tweets.  All whilst trying to do the job that I actually get paid for.  I never thought of myself as the sort of person who would have an issue with all this but I think I must be getting old as trying to juggle all this is exhausting.

So here’s to you being joined by many more and to the next marketing craze and a quick thanks to Kayleigh who is trying to control all of this.  For those of you trying to manage such a campaign on your own then you have my sympathy, it’s not easy to do this without forgetting about the day job which is what all this is for.  If you can get help do….
