Make It Worth Your Time: How to Analyze and Adjust Your Social Media Involvement


Time is one of the most precious things anyone has, so it’s a smart writer who asks, “Is this social media stuff really the best use of my time?” While it can be a highly subjective matter (every career has different needs and phases), we’ll talk about how to quantify your activity on social media, analyze its impact, and make the best choices for the short term and long term. Rather than being driven by trends (or what your friends are doing), we’ll look at how you can make the best decision for you.

Lecture replays are available after the free trial ends. To end your trial early, email brooke@inkedvoices.com .
