40 hours a week, right??

Notes from Chris

Episode 2950
Social media can be a powerful tool for building a business, but it can also feel like a time sink if you’re trying to do it all. Angela from New Hampshire runs a handmade pottery business and is feeling overwhelmed by managing multiple platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Pinterest. She wants to know how much time she should realistically spend on social media each week and how to determine what’s actually worth her effort. Let’s help Angela streamline her strategy and focus on what truly drives growth.

"Hi Chris, I’ve been running a handmade pottery business for about a year now, and I’m trying to grow my online presence. Social media seems like a must, but managing Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Pinterest feels overwhelming. I know I need to be consistent, but how much time should I realistically spend on social media each week? And how do I figure out what’s actually worth my time versus what’s just busy work?"
