Introduction
Social media marketing strategies have expanded
in the current corporate environment. Business
owners are increasingly curious about how digital
marketing contributes to an industry's and small
businesses overall performance. One
characteristic is firstly the amount of money
successful businesses invest in social media
marketing. How much time should spend on social
media? Its a question that has to be answered,
but first, lets step back discuss and explain
strategy. Reaching your objectives or goals
depends more on understanding the digital
marketing or social marketing platforms and types
of content your target audience engages with than
on how many hours you spend creating blogs or
articles. The secret key to effective social
media marketing is quality over quantity.

How to create a social media strategy

• Using social media to market your business and
  organizations starts with three basic things.
• Creating Social Media Objectives
• Your audience
• The resources you have to give to a program
• There are many details within these buckets, but
  going through these 3 steps will help you
  determine how much time to spend on digital
  marketing and social media marketing.

Creating Social Media Objectives

• Establishing specific outcomes you want to
  achieve if you use social media for your small
  business is important. For instance, most people
  browse the web to see what they can discover for
  new followers. But you will need to be more
  selective than that if you wish to make the most
  of your time.
• Do you want to publish five monthly promos
  for your products or services? In the first 90
  days, do you wish to receive 500 followers
  naturally? Is it your motive or intention to
  establish yourself as an expert and attract an
  audience to your website so they might do
  business with you?
• Define your digital marketing or social
  media goals and explain how they advance your
  industry's performance. You might decrease time
  spent surfing social media and struggling to
  decide what to post by having a focused approach.

Your audience
You will know your audiences social media
platforms and what content to share if you take
the time to write out your client personas. You
can foreshow what content your audience will be
interested in if you are aware or familiar with
their problems. Creating your first buyer
persona? Utilize the Facebook, LinkedIn, or
Twitter information you already have to determine
when your audience is highly active there (or
also use tools like Follower wonk, Moz analytics
Tweriod, or Sprout Social). Suppose your target
market or audience is a well-skilled and
professional between the ages of 35 and 45 who
mostly uses Facebook and Twitter and needs to
answer questions regarding a, b, and c (related
to your business). In that case, its an example
of fundamental buyer persona information
applicable to social media.

Evaluate your resources
Calculate and figure out how many hours you have
each week across your department (even if the
department is just your 45 hours). Then take
stock of how much time your entire team right now
spends on social media. Track your time in a
spreadsheet or with time-tracking software like
Harvest or Toggl. Do this for two weeks to see
how much time is being spent on social media. It
would not be surprising to find that you spend
about 25 of your time on social media marketing
or digital marketing.

How Much Time Should We Spend on Social Media for
Business
Apart from financial budgeting, business owners
also need to know how much time they should
invest in digital marketing or social media
marketing. As per the Vertical Response survey,
43 percent of small businesses and industries
invest up to 6 hours weekly on social media
marketing. This time budget costs about an hour
and 12 minutes a day on a five-day
workweek. Your ideal social media presence also
differs, depending on the platform. For instance,
several professionals recommend spending more
time on Twitter marketing than on Instagram.
Still, this depends on what your business centers
on and who your target visitors are.

• Following the recommended amount of presence on
  one social media platform will not help you reach
  your clients if they are more active on another
  site.
• Another time investment tip for small business
  owners would be to perfectly measure how to
  balance quality and quantity in your social media
  presence. This aspect of social media marketing
  traces back to how most websites keep faith both
  in how mostly you can post and how strong your
  engagement is from your followers.
• For instance, most article or blog post websites
  count on how long visitors stay to read your
  article. At the same time, they also measure how
  often visitor return to determine if they should
  promote your content with other users on their
  website.
