Can You Really Outsource Your Social Networking?

Make Your Posts Do Double Duty A good assistant will be able to help you connect the various pieces of your social networking empire. Your blog posts can automatically show up on Twitter, your Twitter posts and Facebook profile can show up on your blog.... Etc. ocial networking tools like Plaxo and Facebook make this very easy. Your assistant can send either e-cards, or (even better) actual cards. Send Out Cards is a great way to send real cards. Your assistant types the message into the computer and the company mails a real card - for less than a dollar. You can try out Send Out Cards for free to see if it will work for you. Your assistant can easily build your network by looking at networks of people who are following the people in your community and sending friend requests. They can also keep up with automated contact managers like Plaxo to make sure that all of your contacts are connected to your network. But, you might have her put the event on your calendar and send follow up thank you cards to the people you met there. She might set up a system for you to follow up with the people you met at the event. Social networking is the same way.
