It’s that time of year again – adjusting to new schedules, kids back in school, getting back into a more regimented routine. I would love to hear how many entrepreneurs manager their work, life balance. How are you managing the enormous amount of work that lands on and in your laptop? How do you manage keeping up on the latest trends in your business and, at the same time, attract new clients and execute on your sold work?

These are challenges faced by entrepreneurs everywhere and with the speed of content moving on the Internet, its a challenge that needs to be managed.

How can I help you, through this column to manage social media, digital marketing and building your brand online?

For starters here are a few great articles I read recently regarding Facebook marketing. Mashable released this report today entitled How Consumers Interact with Brands on Facebook.
Check out the Slideshare report close to the bottom of the page for excellent social media stats.

Mitch Joel, a strong and rational voice on the web, wrote a post called The Fleeting Value of Content. The post talks about the lifespan of a Tweet, vs. a Facebook post or a blog post. It’s literally hours. But don’t get discouraged there are lots of great reasons to post valuable content on the web.

Last but not least I want to let you know about the upcoming, online, live, Facebook Marketing Conference from Social Media Examiner. The cost of the month long event is 50% off until this Thursday (that was not an affiliate link) which brings the cost to under $300 for some super high-level speakers. I’ve taken part in a previous social media conference and it was phenomonal. So if you are the do-it-yourself type and want to master Facebook, don’t miss this event.
