Probably not, particularly if you’re a die-hard business owner chained to a computer, trying not to nod off as you create equally drowsy content for all your social media outlets. For sure, you’ve embraced the DIY mantra, a notion guaranteed to cause pain and suffering to your brand in the long term. Have you consider the option to outsource social media? Granted, you’ve got a lot of good ideas, but are afraid no one else can execute the way you do, right? I mean, not only are you possessed with inspiration and material that matters, but you have all six hands controlling every aspect of your social media campaignnot to mention overseeing your day-to-day operations. Let’s face it. Smart Alecs who outsource realize a host of benefits across all of their social media platforms: their channels stream with updated material and fresh content while sending conversion rates up into the wild-blue yonder- not into the wilderness. Ah, the wilderness is a lonely place to be if you’re not moving quickly in the marketplace- or leveraging available resources in the molten-hot world of social media. Take a gander at the Golden Eggs coming from these social media vendors: Add Extra Dimension to Your Facebook Page: Buddy Media   At first glance, who would even think of tinkering with the likes of Facebook to make it an even better outlet- really, now, just how much better can great be? Well, take a breath, because decision makers around the globe are handing over the management of their social media to Michael Lazerow’s genius platform: Buddy Media, a wonky name for a social-enterprise software company that has done so well that it just got acquired by the giant Salesforce. Buddy Media doesn’t just spruce up your Facebook pages, it brings a dimension of ongoing interaction with customers - and did I say “relevant” with messaging or gaming campaigns out of the chutes daily if that’s what you’re looking for?
