Day 8: social media

Jan 26, 2013 | News

The to-do list of a small business owner is long. For every item marked off, two more things pop up. Even for someone like me who loves a list, it can be overwhelming.
 
I find electronic updates on my list all the time. We need to: update the website (always), post some pictures on Facebook (once/week), start to use twitter again(?)…but where to draw the line?
 
I saw a blog yesterday with, I think I counted correctly, 17 buttons. I feel comfortable enough in my hipness to tell you I had no idea where most of them went.
 
fivethirty uses Facebook primarily as a way to communicate with our online customers/friends. Since I’ve started the blog, I do links on Facebook. It is where I feel most comfortable and it is easy to navigate. We have a twitter account we barely use. Maybe it’s the character limit that is intimidating??
 
I really like Instagram to quickly edit pictures and Pinterest for ideas. I haven’t set up accounts for the store yet, but I probably should. I’ll add it to the to-do list!
 
 
Bye for Now,
