It does see...Thanks for noting my article, Laurel.<br /><br />It does seem like social media marketing can take quite a bit of your time, but the truth is if a brand just focuses on the big 3 (Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn) it shouldn't take more than an hour or two a day.<br /><br />With all three networks now synchronized you can post from one and your updates will be added to all three. Your goal is to add the right friends, engage with them in relevant conversation, and collaborate. <br /><br />Assuming you are building relationships with the influencers in your niche, the time factor to build your own authority/influence will be shortened. If a brand does nothing else in social media, they should take the time to set up Google alerts with their company name and keywords to monitor what is being said about them in the Twitterverse.Coree Silverahttp://www.marketlikeachick.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8942076.post-72752164318860619412009-11-09T16:34:20.913-06:002009-11-09T16:34:20.913-06:00Spot-on Kirsten!
