I have the same problem in my shop. We set accounts up and train them but they need to get involved in the actual conversations……..you just can't outsource that! I'd say 60% of the social media accounts we set up with our clients lay dormant after 3 weeks.

This kind of marketing takes time and energy with the returns sometimes hard to quantify.

I'm one of those people who knows nothing about using social media to promote a blog. It is something I've wanted to learn but my main thought of having to spend lots of times on it puts me off.

I don't think I'd ever ask someone to do it for me, my blogs are my children.

Unfortunately this is one of those necessary parts of a good campaign, and I say unfortunately because we all know how boring and tedious social media submission can be at times.

Very true. Most people who dont fully understand social media want to use but don't want to "use" it. They don't understand the commitment it takes and on top of that don't understand why they would hire me to help them if they have to do all the work.

It's kind of funny but if they don't want to take the time to understand the strategy involved, well its their lose.
