If you do not have the time to do the social thing in groups and on various platforms, would you rather pay someone to do it for you or just do it yourself for advertising and marketing?

I've started paying someone else to do this.

i been so turned off by advertisers that i have no idea what your talking about.

We have a marketing company that works for us.

You bring up a great point. There are only 24 hours in a day and spending time on social media as well as handling all the tasks,  marketing,  and goals that you need to accomplish every day for your business,  as well as personal life...kids extracurricular activities and so forth there seems to be not enough hours in a day. Paying someone to handle your social media accounts is definitely one option but for people on limited budget fortunately there are amazing free software's out there that can post every day, follow, like,  and share as well as auto answer for you until you can get to it! 

If you have the funds though paying someone is a great idea to free up more time for more focus to your business. If you don't have the funds,  fire me an email and I will send  list of awesome software that you can load over 30 days of posts for all your social platforms!

I would try and find time to do it unless someone came to me and proved that they could do it better. 

I have a real good marketing company that handles my website and Google optimization although if I could afford it I would have a full-time tech person working in my office once I get to that $2 million mark I’m pulling the trigger

No, I would not pay someone to do.  No one else knows more ab out your  business then you. 

Make some time to join a solid group or two that meets at a time that you can  make work every couple of weeks.

I would probably at some point in the near future, take care of it myself. 

No one represents yourself better than you. Not sure I would pay someone to represent me unless they knew me and the business real well. 

David, Let me share with you what I have learned as a business owner of several business since I'm 23. No one that you hire will care of more than your business then you. I don't know how long you've been self employed, the dynamics never change. I have been to all kinds of events to promote my businesses, from local networking mixers to very expensive trade shows an a exhibitor. Some of these events were just simple breakfast networking  mixers with other local business, to trade shows where this is a lot of alcohol flowing. Nobody will represent your business like you. The best example I can share with you. I had worked a trade show in Orlando for the National Public Works show in Orlando. My boss didn't attend this show. I don't want to sound like I'm contradicting, but I worked that show like I owned the business. The last day of the show, a group of 8 people approached our booth with posters and cameras. My 2 coworkers and I had no idea why! It turn our booth receive 2 awards. which by the way never happened since this show. We received an award for best single booth, which we can taKe partial credit. But the 2nd award was call, " BEST IN SHOW" which is given to the exhibitors who had the most interaction with the attendees. As far as sales go, we did OK. BUT BEING RECOGNIZED FROM THE ENTIRE TRADE, SHOWED MY BOSS OF HOW HARD WE WORKED TO GET BUSINESS. NOW IF YOU HAVE SOMEBODY ON YOUR STAFF YOU CAN REPRESENT YOUR COMPANY LIKE THAT YOUR IN GOOD SHAPE. MOST OF THE EXHIBITORS WAS TOO BUSY ON THEIR CELL PHONES. WE DIDNT LET ANYONE WALK PASSED OUR BOOTH WITHOUT AN APPROACH....MOST OF THE EXIBITORS WERE EITHER INTOXICATED OR TOO BUSY ON THERE CELL PHONES
