While time is often the leading factor in how long it takes an entrepreneur to grow their business, it is also the biggest hurdle for most of them. Virtual assistants are helping to eliminate that hurdle.

What Effective Social Media Marketing Looks Like:

Many entrepreneurs have mastered the unique tools of social media marketing. However, some are still learning.

The following five tips will help your business grow with each passing day

1. Social media is one of the most instant, inexpensive ways to create awareness and build a presence for your company or brand on the web. There are some very basic tools to help you manage and gain an audience, in addition to some free tools that can help you create a stronger presence for your brand or business on key platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.

2. The most active markets on social media are the ones that get the most engagement. Be sure to maintain a balance between engagement levels and budgeting for social media, but don’t fall into a trap of being bored when you only have 10 direct messages per day to respond to instead of 20. It’s wise to engage with your followers but also aim for some consistency, so be sure that you are always posting new content and increasing your interactions on a regular basis.

3. When people find you on social media, they want to know about your business, but they also want to know the human behind the business. Your social media presents a unique opportunity to showcase your personality. You are free to show yourself as a corporate executive, an individual contributor, or anything in between. By doing this you will create trust among your clients, customers and employees.

4. It can take time to get noticed on social media, so patience is often a virtue when it comes to online marketing success. It’s important to stay consistent and remember that consistency is the key to your brand growth on social media. Even if you’re not getting the online traffic or interactions that you expected, keep up the good work. You may find that those quiet days are laying the groundwork for some much-needed breakthroughs down the road.

5. Virtual assistants (VA) are available to take on the time-consuming, focused, operational social media marketing tasks that might be getting in your way. The more time you have to spend on the things that matter most to growing your business, the more likely you are to see positive results.

Did You Know? MyOutDesk’s origin story is set during the last global financial crisis of 2008. Yes, that’s right — our business started by scaling businesses with virtual assistants during a recession! Our first client in 2008 went from five to seventeen VPs with a completely revamped organizational model in short order, and he told MyOutDesk, “Our virtual professionals have shaved $250,000 off our monthly overhead.”
