Run Your Social Media for £100 a month? Hmmm.

Can it be done? Probably. But what are you going to get for a £100 a month spent on your social media. Might it might be a bit 3rd rate. Or worse.

Social Media for £100 a Month. You might be finished 3st.

It’s more a matter of “I don’t think it is possible to run the social media for a business for just £100 per month and be able do it well”.

£100 a month is really cheap. And that’s a good thing. But if you want to do it properly then, you just can’t do social media for £100 a month. The maths doesn’t work.

If you’re thinking that Social Media is a way to communicate with your customers and prospective customers. You’re right. But communication is two way.

That means not only posting with images, hashtags, mentioning relevant accounts etc etc but also listening.

Listening means you’ve got to be on top of what your peers, your competitors and what the market you’re in is talking about. All the time. Not least being able to respond to comments as they come in.

You see, posting is just half the job. Listening and reacting is the other half. They are both equally important to the running of a social media account.

So for one hundred pounds a month, you might get a post sent every working day. And believe you me that is better than doing nothing.

But social media doesn’t work like that and was never meant to work like that.

It’s not a working week thing. It’s a 7 days a week thing.

It’s not a 9-5 thing. It’s a 24 hours a day thing.

Because that is how people use social media. And that’s how businesses should use social media. Naturally and with personality, spontaneous and reacting to what the current mood of the moment is.

That means you don’t sit down for an hour on a Monday morning and schedule posts for the whole week. You don’t limit yourself to one post a day. It’s going to depend on what is going on that day.

You don’t go into a pub and blah, blah, blah for 3 hours. You engage, you talk, you listen, you respond, you adjust and react. It’s a conversation.

I don’t think you can do that for £100 a month because that takes a lot of time.
