10. To Conclude
SM is here to stay and always evolving, if you enjoy
social media for personal use, you can do as
much or as little as you like, however if you are
involved with social media for your business, it
should be as much a part of your marketing
strategy as any other activity.
It isn’t something you do once an check off your
list, it is an on-going and integral part to growing
your business.
11. You CAN do it …
Social media is a lot like labour, millions of
women have gone there before you and
survived and you will too.
Thank you for listening!
