Here’s why I can afford to be lazy on social media

Hi ,

Today's message is for small business owners and bloggers with mid to big-sized blogs.

My first blog was a food blog. I was in ultra scrooge mode and wanted to do everything myself to save money.

Social media is a major part of the food blogger's world. I ended up having to learn the ins and outs of all the major social media platforms and managing them.

What I hated most was hashtag management. I had to spend loads of time finding popular hashtags to use for each platform whenever I had new blog posts. This drove me nuts.

I loved interacting with my readers and other fellow bloggers on social media. But optimizing social media posts was so darn time consuming! 

In those days, there were few options available:

1. Outsource to an agency: We're looking at hundreds of dollars a month. With my blog being a fledgling new one, I didn't have the budget for this.

2. Hire and train an employee: I had neither the time nor the budget to do this.

So I hunkered down and continued to DIY. This took precious time away from other business activities. As a result, my blog's growth stalled.

For today's frazzled small business owners, there's an alternative to succeed at social media. Instead of:
  • spending exorbitant amounts on an agency,
  • training an employee or
  • doing everything yourself
You can use a social media manager service called $99 Social. Here's what I like about them:

1. Wallet-friendly
$99 a month with no hidden fees, price increases or contracts. In exchange, you get daily postings to Facebook and Twitter.

2. Small businesses-friendly
Besides $99 Social, I don't see anyone else offering affordable social media solutions. Most agencies cater to big companies with bottomless budgets.

3. Complete done-for-you social media service
They'll post relevant content to your Facebook and Twitter accounts once a day, 365 days a year. You can take Facebook and Twitter marketing off your to-do list.

4. Based in the US
Your dedicated social media manager/content specialist is in the US. And the support team works 8am-8pm Mon-Fri and 11am-3pm Sat-Sun (EDT).

I've negotiated a 10% discount for SBO readers with $99 Social. You can enter this coupon code at checkout: SBO10
