Social Media Ground Rule #2: Commitment

Now that you've identified your business objectives for entering the social media sphere, the next step is to determine the resources you are going to commit to establishing and keeping your presence positive there. This most likely means that you will need to delegate the keeping of your social spaces to someone on your team or a third-party content provider. Be sure that whomever is responsible for updating your social media presence is fully aware of your objectives and well-informed about your company.

How often should you update your FB page? Emerging research shows that unless you have a real-time event occurring, once a day is plenty (btw, Wednesdays before noon are one of the peak traffic times on FB...the weekends are the least trafficked times). Twitter followers tend to accept more frequent updates, but use your discretion--too many tweets may turn off your audience.
