		<description>Hi Erika!

Thank you, yes you are right, social media is sooo overwhelming, even when you know better than to get sucked in, the clock seems to speed up and before you know it you&#039;re waay over budget for your time spent! Relationships are king but we have to learn to be proficient with our time.

I remind myself every time I write a post like this or converse about it as in our commentary here! :D)

Wishing You Fabulous Success!

		<description>Vicki,

Such great tips and reminders! Social Media can be so very overwhelming and definitely time consuming. I think we all fall into the trap many days since time just seems to fly by when we&#039;re reading and chit-chatting with people. 

Having reminders such as these really helps in re-focusing what our objectives are. 

Thanks!
Erika</description>

		<description>Hi Karen!

Thanks, I&#039;m glad you agree, relationships are the key to success with marketing or business of any kind!

And you&#039;re so right, a focus on no more than two at a time is crucial. But as you increase your width and breadth, it&#039;s still important to continue evaluating your results and taking stock of the time you invest.

Thanks for stopping by and for your comment!
Wishing You Fabulous Success,
&lt;img src=&quot;http://inetvb.com/images/sig.png&quot; alt=&quot;Vicki&quot; /&gt;</description>

		<description>Vicki,

You give a lot of great information here.  I think it&#039;s far too easy to waste a lot of time on social media and not have anything to show for it.  Like you said, relationships is key.

I also feel it&#039;s important to stick to just one or two marketing strategies and not jump from one thing to another.  Putting blinders on is a good thing.

Keep up the great work!

		<description>Hey Vicki,

excellent post and reading it a few times is doing me a lot of goods.

There are so many traps and distractions out there, that once we fall into one it seems to be natural for us.

Discovering those traps, such as hanging out on Facebook for hours can be deadly.

Thank you for sharing again.

Keep going.

		<description>Thank You Ruby!

You&#039;re right, participation is KEY because it&#039;s ALL about relationships, just like forever in the history of business! It&#039;s sometimes the thing people forget the most though :( However, once you get that, the race is on, nowhere to go but up, at least it you manage your time correctly! Be careful to be getting some return on &#039;engagement&#039; in other words, don&#039;t be spending too much time with networks that are not in your target market!

&lt;em&gt;Wishing You Wonderful Success!&lt;/em&gt;

		<description>When you see how many businesses, from multi-national to mom-and-pop, are hiring dedicated social media managers these days, it&#039;s clear that savvy businesses really value the hands-on approach. Absolutely key to be participating, not just present, in social media. Great tips Vicki, thanks for sharing.</description>

		<description>Hi John!

Great to see you again, thanks for stopping by! 

Your background gives you tremendous strengths that are difficult to some who might have started out in social media (as I have) and moving toward trying to be smarter about SEO! I would rather be coming to social media from your background! I think you&#039;ll be caught up completely in no time at all, and you&#039;ll have a strong advantage. Keep up the great work at sharing your SEO expertise with the social media community! I think both are important working together!

&lt;em&gt;Wishing You Massive Success,&lt;/em&gt;
