There are those who love social media and there are those who hate it.There are also those who, despite kind of hating social media, understand that people are using it and as a business they should have a professional and appealing presence on it—I'll let you guess which one I am.Whether you're doing it yourself or managing a team who's doing it for you, the day-to-day and the constant grind of creating content can be just absolutely excruciating, not to mention expensive.Happily, you don't actually have to use every platform every single day to have that professional and appealing presence.Social media, especially Instagram for me, has been the nut I just can't crack. I understand that it's valuable. I understand that it's a great way to connect. I've just never been able to really use it effectively, and that's both personally and professionally. I don't use Instagram that much.Happily, I've got a great team member who's able to create really awesome, engaging posts and share the things that we want to share, like the amazing guests that we have on this podcast.
